What are the pros and cons about the arrive/7 pro coming from android
sent from my desire

I came from webOS and the only con is multitasking isn't there(coming soon). I really like it.

Multitasking is a con, for sure, as is lack of 4G. Much smaller market on WP7. WP7's programs seem to be more polished overall though. Coming from the EVO with Android, the Arrive and WP7 is so much more fluid, way better on battery for me, and the physical keyboard is really well done. The live tiles is an outstanding feature for WP7.

The battery is freaking amazing...as long as you don't have 3G data on all the time. If you leave 3G on any phone it usually drains it. I noticed that with my Arrive and Pre. If I have WiFi on all the time(we mostly have campus-wide WiFi) it lasts 2-3 days.

A huge part of battery life comes down to how well signal is where you are. Weak signal eats battery because your phone will burn it trying to maintain your crappy signal. I can get 2-3 days out of mine as is. evdo - no wifi. You really should use wifi as much as you can with any phone though. It will be faster and def uses less battery as your sending a signal the distance to the router vs the distance to the tower.

Can you turn off 3g on the Arrive?

Can you turn off 3g on the Arrive?

yes u can by turning off the data connection in cellular settings. there really is no need to do this now that there is also a battery saver feature.
