I only received it yesterday but i've been so impressed by it thus far. It is like a NIGHT and DAY difference between the Arrive and touch pro 2. The touch pro 2 was like a curse. I never owned a phone that was so smooth before. It's like a dream. I'm trying to figure out why hasn't the Arrive or Windows phone 7 OS gotten more publicity? This is like a diamond in the rough.
There are some little quirks here and there that I have to get used too.. such as the super ultra sensitive front buttons. I don't know how many times I have it the searched button by accident. Also, for some reason, the alarm sounds very low. I admit I disregarded the Arrive when it was released because reviews made it seem like it was underwhelming...but I have been pleasantly surprised so far.

Glad to hear you like the Arrive! I absolutely love Windows Phone 7.5, I have been drooling over the second generation Windows Phones but I know it will be a while before Sprint gets their very own. After owning since launch day, I still hit the sensitive buttons on the front..it's not as a PIA with mango & multitasking though. As far as the alarm, it progressively gets louder the longer it goes! I find it to be a very good alarm for me..some days I wake up immediately and then others I have to get up because the alarm gets too loud from ignoring too long. Plus the alarm has never failed to go off, whereas I used to refuse to rely on my phone for an alarm.
