Cell Phone Deal of the Week!
The HTC Arrive Arrives at Wirefly
The HTC Arrive Windows Phone 7 will arrive at Wirefly on March 13th for pre-ordering. This operating system offers an elegant change of pace among cell phones, and Sprint now has its first device that uses Windows Phone 7: The HTC Arrive. Running a 1GHz processor and using a novel tilting display that slides to reveal a keyboard, the Arrive also sports the latest update to the Windows Phone 7 operating system. This means that it can do copy-and-paste, as well as all the close integration with Microsoft applications such as Word, Excel, XBox and Outlook.
The HTC Arrive will be available at a great price from Wirefly.

According to several blogs, a Best Buy leak shows the launch date for the HTC Thunderbolt to be Feb. 14. The Thunderbolt is essentially the EVO running on Verizon's 4G-LTE network. In other words, it will be the fastest, baddest phone on the market with the Sprint EVO a close second.

Wirefly has issued a lengthy video showcasing the new EVO Shift 4G. Available on YouTube in full 1080p HD, the video does a good job of going over the EVO Shift's hardware and software. It also shows the device next to the original EVO 4G and a Motorola DROID 2 for size comparisons, and displays the impressive results of a benchmark test.
The video doesn't offer much in the way of revelations considering the extensive leaks leading up to the Shift's announcement, however, but it never hurts to enjoy nearly 10 solid minutes of new phone porn.

From ehow.com:
Wirefly has been operating online since at least 2003, though it does not offer a complete history about its inception. Since 2007 the company has been privately owned by Simplexity L.L.C., whose corporate headquarters are in Reston, Virginia. The "technology and operations center" is in Largo, Maryland.
Wirefly is an "authorized agent" for most cellular phone carriers in the United States. One question asked constantly about Wirefly is how it can sell phones at rates lower than most other retailers. According to Wirefly's website, it is able to sell cheaply because it doesn't make money off the handset sales themselves. Instead, Wirefly helps cellular companies "keep customers" by locking them into contracts longer than those they might normally have opted for. For this customer retention, Wirefly is compensated by the cellular providers once the customer successfully reaches the end of the contract.
