Sprint says goodbye to the HTC Arrive with no new Windows Phone in sight

Good night, sweet prince: HTC Arrrive 2022-2012

We reported a few weeks ago that Sprint threw down the flag on the venerable HTC Make it, giving the device end-of-life (EOL) condition.  At present tonight, we can sadly report that Sprint has all but wiped the device from its online site, making the Get in officially a has-been. Store availability is expected to be very limited with only replacement devices bachelor for lodge.

Launched in March 2022 the Arrive was Dart's simply Windows Phone offered on the CDMA network and the only other Windows Phone with a horizontal physical keyboard (the other being the LG Quantum), carving itself a nice little niche for itself. Though slightly bulky with an underwhelming LCD screen (every bit was common with Gen 1 devices), the phone has a loyal following and some of the highest satisfaction ratings from customers...

None of that of class stopped Sprint from ever promoting the device or in our opinion, giving it a off-white milkshake (they infamously used information technology every bit a poster-child for a trade in program a mere 7 months after release). At the very to the lowest degree, Sprint could have offered a follow upwardly device for its customers simply alas they plain could not be bothered.

As we at present approach the launch of Windows Phone 8, Sprint unfortunately is nowhere to exist found. Though they are expected to get an Apollo device somewhen, there seems to be no plans until early 2022 to rejoin the Microsoft family. That leaves just every other carrier in the US every bit an choice for those wanting a new Windows Phone this fall, equally Verizon, T-Mobile and of course AT&T will all offer not merely Windows Phones, simply the coveted Nokia Lumia serial.
