Yet by downgrading the battery to 1230mAh, I feel any benefit you get from the 2nd gen Snapdragon is lost!

Too bad...this battery goof will probably be the ONLY reason I won't be getting the Inspire.
Yes the battery thing is a big minus. I had the MT4G and it has the 1500mAh battery and the same processor and battery life was great. I think I will wait for the Atrix...It bothered me already that the inspire has no FFC and that it is too thick..
