Re: Looking for Arrive w/o contract
 

I really think the best deal is found here:
HTC Arrive for Sprint: $49.99 - $25 Coupon = $24.99 @ Wirefly w/ new Sprint account + Free Activation +FS + CB - Slickdeals.net

I'm looking to do this. Basically $24.99 for the phone with a new line of service. Pay the $200 Early Termination Fee. = HTC Arrive for $224.99

I don't know if there is any other fees or what have you but check into it. Port phone over to your existing line. I've been researching if I can get into the EPST to manually change the settings in order to activate it on Page Plus(Verizon). So far I've been a little gun shy because I haven't heard confirmation of anyone doing it yet.

Re: Looking for Arrive w/o contract
 

guys, I'm all set. I decided to just get the phone from Sprint and renew the contract. After discussing Sprint issues with my wife we decided that Sprint is still the bext carrier for us. I get 23% off, 4 line family plan. It comes out a lot less then comparable plans with AT&T, Verizon or TMO. Considering that data is unlimited with Sprint, i decided to stick around with Sprint. Since my old TP2 broke, I really did not have the option to wait or shop around.

I saw a few new Arrive phone sold for $330 now on fleabay. If you are patience and use a snipping tool, then you can get a good deal.

Sell your Touch Pro 2 for about $100, and you can get a new Arrive for less than $250 and no contract.

Yeah I got mine on eBay for $335 without snipping...it was kind of odd actually. However, I also ended up winning anothing Arrive for $350 that I bid on before that one soooo....I fail at eBay

If you're forced to buy the 2nd one, it will sell really easy here :).

I got a new one on craigslist for $260, Activated there while they waited to be sure ESN was good, all went smoothly.

This is how I obtain some devices. If a person has patients he or she can get a good deal 30 days after a device is released.

Edit: i.e. I got my wife an brand new evo for $150 and sold her blackberry 8530 for a $100 on the same site. Equals $50 for a Evo.
