I still refused phone thou due to lack of 4G, Wifi teth, No mem card etc..

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.

@viwizard yes! Couldn't even listen to low quality radio without it buffering every few seconds. Those days are over for me now!

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.
