Design and Build Quality
In terms of design, the HTC Arrive stands out with its slide-out physical QWERTY keyboard, which was quite rare in an era moving rapidly towards fully touchscreen interfaces. Measuring 117.5 x 59 x 15.5 mm and weighing 185 grams, it was relatively bulky compared to its contemporaries, but the trade-off was a solid, dependable device that fit comfortably in the hand. The weight adds to its premium feel, making the keyboard action feel substantial rather than flimsy. The phone featured a Mini-SIM slot and a body primarily composed of plastic with a matte finish, providing a sturdy grip and reducing fingerprint smudges.
