after being a loyal Blackberry fan for years, I decided to make the switch. Just got my first Windows Phone. HTC Arrive on Sprint, still getting used to it, but it's pretty cool so far

    Hello.

    Great change, better OS.

    RIM is loosing more users everyday.

    Not many have picked up WP7, yet, but I love it. I am really just thinking, as I have for over five years now, that folks should ditch BBerry and move to a Windows Phone (or anything with ActiveSync) and connect directly to their servers. Forget BES!

    less than 24 hours in and I really like it, and I haven't upgraded to Mango yet, so i'm sure I'll be loving it once that comes through

    You can force the Mango upgrade... I was getting impatient. Connect your phone up to your PC and go to your Phone Settings and then click on "Updates". While it is checking for an update, clicking disable your NIC or unplug your Ethernet cable or something. It's really weird, but it works. Once it shows that you have an update, plug back in or enable your NIC. Mango has lots of subtle, but nice, changes.

    I love my WP7. I found the above method for forcing Mango a few days ago but it did not work for me. Can't wait to get 7.5 installed...

    I hate the my WP. I still don't understand why there's no VPN and RDP client on 7 or 7.5 when I have it on my old windows 5.5 os

    There's no citrix or cisco vpn client on it like the iphone/android either..
