It's kind of funny now that I think about it but I've purchased 5 Arrives for myself and 4 others. The phone just works!
Myself - $250 and then upgraded it to 32GB (Necessity for me!)
Brother- $200
Sales Guy - $175
Neighbor - $80
Cousin - $140
ALL ON PAGE PLUS (VERIZON) !
I've been impressed with the new gen phones that have come out but not enough to change carriers etc.
The one thing that lacks for me on
all the new phones is the fact that the memory is not upgradeable at all. I can appreciate the new embedded flash they've put on the devices that is faster but I really need my 32GB as this phone is a music & podcast player which I really use a lot on top of every other awesome thing Windows Phone 7 does.
As for some mentions of Google integration etc. I found out when I purchased my neighbors Arrive that the sub-calendars for GMAIL wouldn't show up. I was really feeling bad at the time because the multiple calendars was something I used extensively between addresses and to think that this wouldn't work for them made the phone less attractive at first. Doing a little searching I found this post that shows how to enable the calendars. Whew! Really saved the day
