At first, I was very impressed by how solid the construction of the phone seemed. The keyboard would snap in place when closed, and it was very firm to open, as well, being very hard to do with one hand.
Lately, however, it's seemed that the slide mechanism has become significantly looser. Where on the 20th, it took 2 hands to open or shut, I can now do it with 1. It's difficult to describe accurately, but it just seems like it's about 15% easier to open than when i bought it only a week ago. Is this normal with keyboards of this type, and/or has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks from a physical keyboard newbie.
Question about
So, I purchased my HTC Arrive on the 20th when it came out, and I've never had a phone with a slide-out keyboard before.
Nevermind. Went to a Sprint store and the demo unit was about the same. New phone paranoia. I'd delete this post if I could figure out how...

I had the same issue, it got so loose that I too was concerned, i would be able to wiggle the screen while it was closed. This is fairly common with sliding phones, the more you slide the mechanics break in a little. My phone was just a review unit, so I'm not sure just how loose it will get, hope yours is still feeling somewhat solid.
