We\u2019ve known for some time that Windows Phone devices<\/a> would hit the U.S. CDMA carriers \u2013 Sprint, Verizon Wireless \u2013 in early 2011.  Verizon Wireless remains tight-lipped about their debut Windows Phone (or phones), but this morning Sprint announced theirs: the HTC Arrive.<\/p>\n

The Arrive (aka HTC 7 Pro) is a tilting QWERTY slider with a 3.6-inch 800 x 480 WVGA multi-touch display.  Other features include a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, 16GB of onboard flash storage, 512MB of RAM, a 5MP camera, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, and a 1500mAh Li-Ion battery for up to 6 hours of talk time.  Like many other Windows Phones, it appears the HTC Arrive does not have a memory card slot for additional storage.  <\/p>\n

The HTC Arrive will be available for purchase from Sprint on March 20th for $199 with a two-year contract (after a $100 mail-in rebate).  <\/p>\n
