totally not what i was expecting. no more active sync. it's all zune. so after abt an hour of playing with it and trying to figure out this contraption.. it's not bad. much faster than my tp2. i'm happy-ish. though i miss file explorer. not a bad replacement at all.

sleepyha,

Did Sprint add $10 charge to your account?

I was sent an arrive as replacement for TP2, however, I refused after I was told I had to pay $ 10 dollar charge. After talking with retentions I was informed that I would'nt have to pay the data charge because the repair center upgraded my phone to the arrive. I still refused phone thou due to lack of 4G, Wifi teth, No mem card etc..

who needs 4G when 3G is fast enough for most uses? well in areas where the towers arent blown out anyway.

yea, they got me for the $10 bucks. BUT after playing with the phone i realize why. it's always connected to SOMETHING online. the people hub syncs regularly, music hub displays artist pictures from some online source when you play music. email send and receive schedule gives the option of IMMEDIATE delivery instead of a 5 minute option. the data usage HAS to be considerably higher on this thing than on the tp2. not to mention we can actually STREAM netflix from this thing unlike on the tp2 where we were just able to adjust our instant ques.

@sleepyha yea I remember when I had my tp2 I would barely use 1GB of data, now I'm always around 3 to 5 with my arrive. Now that I switched to t-mobile because I couldn't stand the slow speeds anymore I have to try to stay under 5GB unless I want to get throttled.

The Sprint rep said there's a code to allow users that was grandfathered in before $10 charge became applicable to not be subject if the phone is upgraded through warranty exchange. I was even provided an e-mail with confirmation as well as the notes invoice ID # to reference if I had taken the Arrive.

I"m aware of this, however, I prefer the removable option.

Did they offer you the Arrive or did you tell them you wanted to upgrade it or what? I want a WP7 replaement for my TP2 lol.

i called assurion and asked if they had the tp2 in stock because i didnt want to get some other phone i wasn't happy with. she told me i'd get a tp2 or equivalent. i made it sound like i really loved my phone but was tired of the issues.

note: when i called assurion i had already went into the sprint store had them look at my phone issue a replacement ticket and then instead of going back to the store i called assurion.
