I'm on the fence on whether I love or hate WP7

[Riley]

I was over at Sprint yesterday and was checking out the Arrive. My wife hates her Evo shift so I'm thinking of getting her this device. I was impressed with it clean and usable UI. No learning curve which frankly is ideal for many users. I spend alot of time trying to get Denise to figure out the shift, which she probably would not need with the arrive. It was snappy as well. Nice device. With Mango coming soon it will probably be that much better but in it's current form it's very good.

yea that's right it is a great phone. the only thing keeping me from enjoying it is the shitty sprint service in my area for about 4 months now. hopefully they'll have this sorted out by the time mango arrives. this will definitely be a long summer even tho its the fastest passing season.

Yep, the simplicity is there, just like the iPhone, Windows iPhone 7 is perfect for those that don't want or need any customization. I might buy another Arrive for my wife, she's not into all the availible features on my Epic.

as if the arrive will have its current feature set forever. wp7 has plenty of customization options but in a different way.

WOW, that's a whole bunch of customization! AMAZING! I'm glad the ringtones are customizable as are custom tile colors, data transfer options, etc... etc... etc...

as said before, u act as if it'll be like that forever it is not and in fact 6 months from now no one will be able to say shit about wp7 unless they're downright MS-hating trolls. u must be bored with ur epic seeing as u keep coming over here spreading the same FUD. go change ur BT icon or something while eating frozen peanuts.

whats the deal with frozen peanuts ??? i would have said frozen peas but to each their own i guess ..
