Intel’s supposedly making headway in matching efficiency and battery life with ARM processors…

Well… they do now…

Uh… I paid retail price. I had Vista.

Well, these are the unsubsidized prices… so they are normally priced.

Whether or not you think the HTC Arrive is worth $489 in the first place is another question, but that’s the same thing you’d pay on Sprint without a contract.

I’ve read a lot about Virgin Mobile and Boost customers bringing over Sprint phones…

You do have to have them flashed to the network.

When the grid of icons gets a bit too large, that could be a hindrance to navigability.

The color variety is helpful to providing a sort of “location” memory for your pinned applications. You could still find things if it were all the same color, but if you knew you were looking for a red icon near the bottom of the screen, it might make the zoning-in process much faster.

As I’ve said below…

I’m aware of this. (I use dark grey, although I hope they include black)

I’m responding to people’s complaints about the “ugliness” of the interface per the screenshot above.

I’m pretty sure he’s just talking color.

The background color is a bad choice.

I’m fine with the variety of colors. It’s the background color (oxblood) that throws it all to hell.

Some people might not mind the contrast, but I’d likely go with a black or dark grey.

The Vinci tablet even has the iPhone icon light reflections…

America’s cell network doesn’t allow a lot of transfers, whether by technological limitations or company policy.

Furthermore, the draw of having no contract is important to many people, myself included (I’m currently living one out, and my limitations are frustrating). Thing is, it would be nice if Verizon, Sprint or AT&T gave you a cheaper plan if you brought your own device, but they don’t. You pay the same as customers who accepted subsidies.

MVNOs like Voyager provide that option to some.

Aren’t they only kicking off customers upgrading to 4G?

If you get a 4G phone now, you should be fine…

You get a thumbs up.

As long as the choices they make work well and look nice, I could care less.

Hm… I never really liked Apple all that much, but I guess I see why people do.
