In a first for a US carrier, US Cellular has reportedly begun distributing the 8107 OS update to the HTC 7 Pro (aka Arrive) owners. We've had numerous reports come in from readers that they started receiving the update within the last 48 hours with more reports coming in. That's both exciting and frustrating as US Cellular is the "sixth largest" carrier here in the States, serving up...
It seems as though other websites and companies are offering the same deal as Play.com with regards to the HTC 7 Pro, which is now going for just £229 at Expansys (with free delivery). If you wanted to get your hands on the QWERTY sporting device, now's your chance with more than one location slashing the price. Source: Expansys, thanks J45PER for the tip!
This is a sweet deal, Play.com is now offering the HTC 7 Pro (sim-free and unlocked) for just £229. We're unsure as to how long this deal will last, but it should excite anyone who's waiting for price drops. The question is should you buy it or wait for devices around the launch of Mango? Oh and free delivery (3-5 working days) is also included. Source: Play.com
Remember when we covered the news that Cellular South may be getting the HTC 7 Pro (read our review)? Well, now it has become reality. The "largest privately-held wireless provider in the United States" is now offering the beast of a handset for $199 on a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in reward card, pretty standard in comparison to other carriers with Windows Phone 7. Are you with...
For those of you on Cellular South, billed as "the largest privately-held wireless provider in the United States", they're looking to get the oustanding (our opinion) HTC 7 Pro on their networks in the coming weeks. Thanks to a leaked roadmap on our sister site, Androidcentral, we can see the awesome slider Windows Phone prominently listed. No word on exact date or price, but we'll be...
Although the Sprint HTC Arrive (aka CDMA 7 Pro) comes with 'NoDo' built in, thankfully avoiding any needed "updates", the European 7 Pro which came out a a few months ago, obviously does not. Keeping up with the unlocked HD7, Trophy and Mozart leaked ROMs, the 7 Pro evidently now has it as well. According to forum member Football (who hails from Moscow and seems to have a solid rep at...
This post is for you old school kids still using the near legendary Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2--a device hacked and ROM'd to death and which approached perfection (if it weren't for that under-powered CPU). Anyways, the new Sprint HTC Arrive (aka 7 Pro) is basically a Touch Pro 3--the devices feel very similar, are nearly identical in size and quality. Still, we figured we get some close up...
Yes, our Sprint HTC Arrive has showed up and we're liking it so far. The device is the final production model headed to stores this weekend and it rocks the latest build of Windows Phone 7, 7389 with NoDo on board. For those curious, no sign of the MicroSD card though it may be under a tiny metal door--more on that later. But sporting 16GB of memory should be enough for a lot of folks....
In the world of mobile phone technologies changing from one device to another usually brings excitement. Getting a new device with more memory, faster CPU/GPU, better cameras, newer and faster radios is so thrilling. Other times it can bring the same immense excitement mixed in with the feeling of wanting to throw up. If you fall into the latter camp, it’s probably because you are...
For those of you who aren't Sprint customers looking to switch for the HTC Arrive, which gets released this weekend (there has to be like 10 of you), you may want to jump on this Wirefly deal: Two-year contract for new customer and get the Arrive for $50. If you're renewing, you can grab it for $150--still better than Sprint. Wirefly has been very aggressive lately in their pricing and...
Seeing as we now have a new partner--that'd be Nokia we're talking about--we figure we would start to cover a little bit more about them, since they are a rarity here in the U.S. One of the biggest sites for Noki'a OS, Symbia, is All About Symbian and they just did a real nice review comparison between the HTC 7 Pro (coming to the U.S. as the Sprint Arrive) and the Nokia E7. Both are...
Looks like the lucky folks at Engadget got a sneak peak at Sprint's first Windows Phone, the HTC Arrive (aka 7 Pro). They took a few snazzy shots and even did a quick video demonstrating copy and paste on the device. Of course C&P is there because it's tied into the NoDo update, which also brings CDMA support to the OS. While the copy and paste demo is nice, unfortunately they...
After a couple of days worth of teasing, the HTC Arrive -- aka the HTC 7 Pro -- has, erm, arrived on Sprint! It'll officially go on sale March 20 for $199.99 (after two-year contract and $100 rebate). And that's not a bad price for the tilting, sliding phone. And best of all, it'll have the cut-and-paste update on board when you pull it out of the box. Can't beat that. Other features of...
Sure, we'll probably know way more in another few hours, but lets tease a bit more, shall we? Evidently, if you search on Sprint.com for "Arrive" you get this little result above, confirming what everyone already suspected: the HTC 7 Pro is going to be the Sprint HTC Arrive. We also like the emphasis on the wording here: "the first Windows Phone from Sprint", strongly hinting that the...
Like we needed any more proof from the other day, Sprint has gone ahead and dropped the "Xbox" word in their latest tweet just moments ago. So no Android, no HP WebOS...just sweet, sweet Windows Phone 7. Probably, most definitely the HTC 7 Pro aka the T7575 aka "Arrive". Come back and rejoice tomorrow when the details are posted...
Sprint just had another Tweet which not-so-cryptically reads: "If you could design a brand new phone, what would it have? Ours will have a hub for gaming, music, pictures and video." That's only one OS in the world and it ain't Android, baby! (Although technically, Samsung has been swiping "hubs" for their Galaxy SII phones...) We imagine in the next 48hrs a ton of info should be...
Here's what we know: The Sprint 7 Pro ROM is finalized, ready for shipment They were waiting on the NoDo update for CDMA support We've heard that it's coming in early March from Raphael Rivera Sprint is announcing a new phone this Thursday Call us crazy, but we think this is the big announcement for the HTC 7 Pro which many of us have been waiting on since...well October when we were...
Rafael Rivera of CheveronWP7 fame has tweeted that Sprint customers will be enjoying Windows Phone 7 in the first two weeks of March. And the phone of choice for Sprint shall be the HTC 7 Pro. This makes sense as we just saw the leaked, finalized ROM for the Sprint 7 Pro, which hints as near release. To date, the official time frame for a CDMA Windows Phone 7 is sometime during the...
The website 911HTC, a sort of well known and more underground site, has posted what appears to be the Sprint ROM for the upcoming HTC 7 Pro. The site generally has a very good track record for these releases so we're betting on legit here. It's also not too uncommon to find ROMs of unreleased devices making their way onto the 'nets due to HTC's FTP servers, which host the ROM files (...
If you took the under bet on the the number of times the Dell Venue Pro would get delayed, chances are you lost your money. According to Clove, Dell has once again pushed back the release in the UK; this time until early March (we'll believe it when we see it). They have not offered any explanation of this latest delay. In other very timely news, Clove now has the HTC 7 Pro in stock...
