HTC Arrive Review:
Sprint's HTC Arrive is a remarkably solid device. Other Windows Phones with landscape QWERTY keyboards currently on the market are — how can I put this nicely? — not nearly as solid. The display is covered with scratch-resistant glass, the plastics that surround it are nice and solid, the battery cover is sleek brushed aluminum and the rest of the back cover is rubberized to assist grip.
The 184-gram Arrive might be a bit on the hefty side for some users, but I love it. I can't stand phones that feel cheap and plasticky, and the Arrive most certainly does not feel cheap or plasticky. It's definitely on the thicker side, although it is thinner than older HTC devices with the same form factor. The slide-out QWERTY keypad adds the majority of the girth, of course, but it's more than worth it; more on that later.
In terms of appearance, the Arrive looks like an HTC HD7 from the front, with stylish silver mesh above and below the WVGA touchscreen to cover the ear speaker and the microphone. It also has a similar darkened chrome bezel surrounding the front of the case. Thankfully, however, the Arrive feels nothing like the HD7. T-Mobile's supersized phone is a great handset that we thoroughly enjoyed when we reviewed it, but it is far from HTC's most solid device — thanks to a light plasticky feel and a flimsy, paper-thin battery cover.
Beyond that, you have the power/lock button on the top of the phone next to a 3.5-millimeter audio jack, a volume rocker and a microUSB port on the left side, and a dedicated camera button on the right side of the phone.
The slider mechanism on the Arrive is very solid, though it's a bit odd until you get used to it. When the display is slid all the way open, the mechanics of the slider pivot and result in the viewing angle you see in the images, which is not adjustable. The simple fact of the matter is that some will like it and some won't — and I don't. I would far prefer to keep the display parallel with the keypad because it suits my typing style better. It's a smartphone, not a laptop, and you type with your thumbs, not with all 10 fingers. With the screen pitched forward like it is, the display points down toward my chest when I type instead of pointing straight at my face. It's odd, but it's hardly a deal-breaker for me.
First things first... the display. While it might not bear a sexy name like "Super AMOLED" or "Super LCD," the display on the Arrive is fantastic. The screen is obviously one of the most important components of a cell phone, and it pains me that some otherwise terrific devices are ruined by less-than-stellar screens.
