Bye sprint / rip arrive

[ben55124]

My Arrive contract finally ended. Don't know how many other sprint SERO plan holdovers there are here, but I don't think it is worth retaining anymore. It was $30 in 2007 for a Moto Q (WinMo). Bumped to $40 to get Arrive (since Arrive was a smartphone -- unlike WinMo???). Now they want $50 since their WP8 phones are LTE.

This makes StraightTalk a better deal for me, so I bought a cheap L520 and no more contracts. SERO was a good deal and Arrive worked for me, but like the flexibility now. L520s are practically disposable.

I'm glad you liked your HTC Arrive while you had it.

Good luck with your new Lumia 520.

Same here. My 2 yr Sprint contract expired a few weeks back and I've decided to leave Sprint (not so great service - especially data - and they've added $20 for to their unlimited everything plan, so it's not such a great deal anymore). Also, they're really not on the Windows Phone bandwagon, as the two devices they now offer are already dated (like by about a year). Just got a Verizon Lumia Icon (a great deal at $139.99 on a 2 yr contract) and I'm hoping that the service is way better (it should be by the map I see on their commercials). That said, I just loved my HTC Arrive. A fantastic, beautiful, device that's served me well the last two year. I'm really going to miss it and it's slide out keyboard :crying:. Goodbye Arrive, goodbye Sprint.
