Performance
Powered by the Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon S1 chipset, with a 1.0 GHz Scorpion CPU and Adreno 200 GPU, the HTC Arrive was a fair performer for its time. Tasked with running the newly launched Windows Phone 7 OS, it managed day-to-day operations smoothly but wasn't particularly adept at handling more demanding applications or multitasking extensively, largely due to its limited memory—576MB RAM paired with internal storage options of either 8GB or 16GB. The storage limitation was compounded by the absence of a memory card slot, which meant users had to manage data carefully.
