Sprint’s First Windows Phone 7 Device, The HTC Arrive, Launches March 20th For $200

And it all comes to a head. After a few days of teasing out of Sprint’s Twitter account with promises of a big unveil today, they’ve confirmed what we all suspected: they’re finally getting a Windows Phone 7 handset, and it’s the HTC 7 Pro (albeit dubbed the “HTC Arrive” in this case).

Look for it to hit the shelves on March 20th for $200 bucks after a mail-in rebate (yeck!) and a 2-year contract. Want to know what’s inside? Check out the specs after the jump.
