cuz to me ur sounding like somebody who only read about wp7,watched videos or just thumbed through a device in a store. all of these are very insufficient to get an ideal of how wp7 operates

I have a friend with it.. I wanted to get a custom rom on it before i got it.. the funny thing is that the sprint buy back is set to 0$ lol.. I really want to but this phone but wont till someone hacks it.. I have used other WM7 phones as well and hope that the new one comes out before 12/31/11 so i can use my credits to get it because sprint is going to discontinue the 150 towards a new phone on that date. I also have my 300 renewal credit so i have a total of 450 off a new phone before that date.. sont want to waste it on the fake touch pro 3..

Cant wait to see what nokia and Microsoft has coming up for us..

knowing a friend who has one is still insufficient because it's likely that u had thumbed through that too all the upcoming wp7 phones so far are destined for GSM carriers this is one of the reasons y I'm going to t-mobile, the other reason I've been very vocal about lately.

in case you haven't heard the nokia line is not shipping in the US at first. i bet it will be well into 2012 before they do. there isn't a high demand for nokia over here.

I used the phone enough to know what its all about... and yeah.. I see that it may not hit the US till early 2012

Ill just wait and see.. the N9 is still not as powerful as the 4S and i haven’t seen all the specs on the M800 yet.. so ill have to wait like everyone else over the next few days and keep my eye on cnet UK to see what comes up.. I hope that they made a M800 with a physical kb cause i send over 7000 text a month and the on screen kb will be a bad thing for me..

What does mango have to do with wanting an alternative UI? you do understand people like wp7 but hate metro. Nothing wrong with more choices. Id never own a phone i couldnt customize to my liking. Hell even webos can be totally themed.

only those who are attached to sense hate it but not most other wp7 users on wpcentral,neowin,pocketnow and such.

your a tough cookie eric, i give you props for sticking up for wp7. shame i don't see more members doing the same.

My wife and I have an Arrive, she loves it and is coming from a Touch Pro. I am coming from a Touch Pro 2. The only thing I miss from my Touch Pro 2 is WiFi sharing and its worldphone capability when I travel.

Other than that, I don't miss restarting it every day, nor do I miss the slowness of Sense and the general laginess. The phone just works and I don't have to mess with it. One of my friends switched to the Arrive from her TP2, and another switched from an Android device because they got sick of all the lag, and slowness. They love their WP7s.

Now, I myself dig the Metro UI. Wish I had some more customization like additional colors or backgrounds, wifi sharing. But the phone works great, quick, responsive, sometimes i'll restart it after a week because I want to feel the nostalgia from the old WM days.
