Hi, everyone I'm new here.
I had WM phone back when they were called Pocket PC. I got sick of ATT bad service and dropped calls (here in Los Angeles) that I gave up my beloved TP2 switched to Sprint 2 years ago. I got the EPIC 4G on the launch day. It was their flagship keyboard(KB) phone and android has been great so far.
But, I made a deal with my son if he got all "A"s and "B"s I would give him my EPIC. Well with about 2 months left in the school year he worked hard and only has 2 "C"s both at 78%. So, I started looking for a new phone. I have an upgrade coming but, no flagship KB phones. I have to have a KB because I run my business from my phone. After trying Win8 preview I thought this interface would be great with a touch screen. Then, I thought about window phone 7. I checked and the only phone on sprint was the Arrive. It was a year old and but, it had good reviews. So I found a store that had a live demo and I tried it. It was very smooth and I liked it.
So I started my search for one. After days of searching ebay I found a refurbished Arrive for $150 shipped 10 minutes ago and bought it. I see used ones selling for over $170 so I thought I got a good deal. This way I can try it out and if I don't like it I can sell it an get my money back and still keep my upgrade for the (hopefully) new Window 8 phone coming out at the end of the year. Now, I got to figure out how to get my contacts and calender over to the Window Phone when it gets here next week.
So, please don't get mad if I ask a few dumb question. Bryan
