Perfect summary of the Inspire!!!

For people on the fence this is a great summary of this amazing phone!!!


The Inspire 4G is the best Android handset being offered by AT&T at the moment. It gets almost all the basic features right.

The calling experience, contact management, battery life and Sense user interface make using the systems of the Inspire 4G a breeze. I was pleased with call quality, though during my testing period I was unable to find any of those 4G speeds being touted by AT&T.

HTC has made some tasteful improvements to the email and SMS options, and the social networking features are nearly limitless with the help of the Android Market. HTC also improved the music player (huzzah for EQs!) and the video playback options are better than on most other Android handsets.

Add in good camera software, good imaging capabilities, a strong browser and a highly customizable user experience, and what you get is a solid phone.

For $99, the Inspire 4G is an easy phone to recommend. If you like big-screened Android phones that work really well, look no further than the Inspire 4G.

And yet, thats pretty much exactly what we predicted/expected so no suprises either. :)

Just read over on the Atrix forums. Sideloading is blocked...reps wont comment on the bootloader AT ALL, and hulu was blocked from the get go. He didnt get a chance to try netflix but as netflix runs on microsoft silverlight...we know that wont work until google works out a deal.

If this HTC remains as easy to root/side load as they say it is...combined with the HTC Media port and the low cost of this phone...its just doing NOTHING but reassuring me this is the smart choice. (with the exceptioin of the $99. price of the media port combined with the fact he said the atrix played though the hdmi cable perfectly out of the box).

Of course if sideloading is blocked on the Atrix, but avail on the HTC, its a moot point..ill leave it stock and buy the Media DLNA reciever and side load movies all day long where as id be FORCED to root with the atrix to even get up and running (HDMI or not).

Im already sure that that's the case. I knew from early on that the atrix wouldn't outshine this phone like most think or thought

dont listen to a word that guy says....he is an idiot ;):cool:


the thing im most impressed about is the battery life. Many reviewers so far have said its fairly good (probably due to the power efficient Slcd).

If we do not get a final release date on the atrix by the MWC, im going to get this phone no questions asked.
