New HTC Arrive Review


Windows Phone 7 launched last fall, but without CDMA support a vast majority of users in the US have yet to be exposed to the complete overhaul of Windows Mobile. This drought has come to the end with the launch of the HTC Arrive for Sprint. Though this is the first CDMA Windows Phone 7 (WP7), it is middle of the pack in terms of features.


That said, all WP7 devices are generously spec’d so the Arrive is hardly underpowered. Featured specs include a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a crisp 480x800 3.6” display, 16GB of storage and a 5 megapixel camera with flash capable of recording 720p HD video. The HTC Arrive also comes with the latest version of WP7, allowing users to copy and paste. Included with the Arrive you’ll get a 1500mAh battery, microUSB cable and AC wall adapter.

t first glance the HTC Arrive is very similar to the HTC EVO Shift 4G, but after just a few minutes of using the Arrive it is apparent that the quality is higher. For starters the materials used are better. The EVO Shift is by no means poorly constructed (quite the opposite) but the HTC Arrive is just extremely well put together. The two phones share a 3.6” WVGA display, but the Arrive has 16 million colors to the Shift’s 65K.

The Arrive has the 3 capacitive WP7 buttons below (Back, Home and Search.) HTC has long been making subtle design touches, and with the Arrive it is a matching mesh grill above and below the display. Nothing major, in fact most people wouldn’t even notice, but we appreciate the attention to detail nonetheless.
