Well, after 2 weeks 'away' to an Atrix, today I came back to the Inspire. Although the Atrix is smaller, higher resolution, has better sound and video, and an excellent battery, the inspire is simply a better all round experience IMHO. It's Sense that does it.

I sold my Atrix and nexus One, then kept my Inspire, but battery goes fast.
did the same today... i wanted to keep the atrix, but the "customization limitations" were wearing on me. i bricked 2 of them along the way... i'll wait for the next dual-core device (do you hear me HTC??)..
Interestingly this Inspire has much better sound on both speaker and ear than my first one. Not so tinny.

Firmware could be different, I've already done so much to this phone and don't have the issues that some are reporting here and there.
Best to leave well enough alone.
Glad I never returned this unit and went with the atrix myself just for some more battery life.

I tried the atrix for a couple of days. Yeah the battery is good and the phone is fast. But Damn its so ugly. Doesn't feel like a high end.piece of hardware. Screen res is good but to be honest to my eyes the Inspire screen is real good anyway. My buddy works at AT&T and he says the atrix just isn't selling anywhere close to what they hoped. I will stick with my rooted inspire and keep my captivate as a backup.

I started with the Atrix and didnt like it. I hated how dull and washed out the screen looked.
After rooting my Inspire, flashing Coredroid, and overclocking to 1,6ghz, I love my Inspire,

Here is my story, I was eligible for upgrade this Februray (had a iphone 3GS since last two years), wanted to try android phone and was waiting for Atrix, once Atrix become available I went to AT&T to try it, played with it for few mins, next to the Atrix was Inspire and I got a chance to play with that also, really liked the big screen and how smooth everything felt, didn't like Atrix that much.
That night I went to RadioShack to buy Inspire, paid 39.99 for the phone (I traded an old nokia and got 50 dollars off and used 10 of 40 coupon).
Remember I wanted to buy Atrix and was reading mostly about it, Inspire was like an impulse buy and I was really enjoying it but wanted to try Atrix also, so I went to Radioshack again and got Atrix off the contract, told salesman that if I like it I will buy it on contract and will return Inspire.
Got home and started using Atrix, the scrolling was not as smooth as Inspire, I noticed that sometimes I had to flick my fingers couple of times on the screen before it register it, next I tried a 2hr 720P MP4 video file (this worked flawlessly on Inspire), with Atrix I got the error that Video is not supported, I downloaded RockPlayer Lite and open the file with that, the video was choppy on Atrix ( Video was choppy on Inspire also if I played with RockPlayer).
Next morning I took both Atrix and Inspire with me after fully charging it, used my wife's sim card in Inspire, setup yahoo mail, gmail, hotmail, exchange on both the phones with push settings. Next was to test GPS, started google navigation with Satellite Images on both the devices, didn't connect either of them to the charger, the GPS worked flawlessly on both without any issue but Atrix it seemed used a lot more battery than Inspire, when I started my drive both phones were almost fully charged, after my 30 mins drive Atrix was at 60% while Inspire was at 70%, after reaching office I didn't play much with both the phones I just let them sit except for few 4-5 mins calls and 10-15 mins of browsing, by afternoon, Atrix was down to 40% battery whereas Inspire was about 60%. I made up my mind, took Atrix to Radioshack and returned it.
I have inspire with me since last 4 days now and battery performance is not an issue at all, I generally unplug it 6:00am in the morning and by the time I go to bed (11:00pm) it is down to 20-25%, this is with the moderate use of phone.
Few things which I noticed.
Browsing is much better on Inspire than on Atrix with the bigger screen and fonts.
The video format support is not very good on both the devices, I was able to play an MP4 and Xvid AVI on Inspire but it didn't play any mkv file, Atrix was able to play xVid AVI but there was no audio, also no luck playing MP4/MKV file.
I connected Atrix through HDMI to my Panasonic Plasma and played some video files which I recorded in 720p format in atrix, the quality was OK, I am not sure if it was HD though.
One more thing, I liked HTC sense much better than Moto Blur.

Battery can be better of course...
Just bought a higher capacity aftermarket battery from a retailer here in the States.
It worked for my HTC Dream so we will see if it makes the Inspire better in battery life or blows it up seeing that its made in China (I knew this prior to purchasing)
Im ready to risk it all for the community as a whole.
Wish me luck, if I see an improvement Ill post up the link to the product.

I was considering whether to get the atrix or the inspire and went for the inspire.
Motorola blur is terrible not to mention the bootloader, the small screen, the cheap feel and all that nonsense.
I absolutely love the inspire.
It's not that loud but there but CM7 will release a rom enabling volume boost.
Display is fabulous. 4.3 inches of beauty.
I score almost 3300 on quadrant.
The dev community for the htc inspire/desire is fantastic.
They had the phone rooted, rommed, and overclocked the day it came out.
Some people have trouble with the gps.
I don't use it myself.
But i hear it's pretty good for those who got it to work. (theres a fix)
I play n64 games on it no problem. No lag.
Watch flash movies online.
Listen to music.
It feels as though it makes my cheap sony headphones sound like 100$ sennheisers.
It's very fast.
and it's built like a tank.
Have you held one?
You be the judge.
There's a story around the inspire general forum of some guy's inspire surviving being under a car.
and IMO the whole atrix thing is a scam.
Motorola release this "state of the art" dual core phone.
yet hardly anything for phones support it.
and with motoblur + all the motojunk on it, you won't be getting performance any better than a desire/inspire.
Go try it out!
Inspire. I've owned both phones since their release dates and I think the inspire is much better. I just couldn't bring myself to keep the atrix. Ditto on the low quality feeling, motoblur sucking, etc.

FYI, Atrix price is dropping like flies.
Cartoys.com has it for $29 after rebate for new account.
They also have the Inspire for $0.
I was also looking at getting the atrix or the inspire as my first android phone. After playing around with both at the store, I decided on the Inspire.
*Did not feel plasticy like the atrix.
*UI was much better.
*The 4.3 screen which looks much nicer and crisper than the atrix.
I have had it for about a week now and I am loving it!
I owned both. Lots of reasons why Atrix is better (speed, battery, video and audio quality, camera quality etc) but im sticking with the inspire because its just a better overall experience.

Do you seriously think the Atrix camera is better than the Inspire's? The Inspire's camera blows the Atrix out of the water in terms of camera. Also I don't experience audio problems with my Inspire like others do. The Dolby Digital option when listening to music is amazing. Just my 2 cents. Ithink the Inspire is a much more enjoyable device

I am looking to trade my inspire for a moto atrix 4g because my dad is going to get the thunderbolt and i want a front facing camera to video call him.
I m looking for a almost new/ no scatches atrix. My HTC inspire is in a Otterbox from the beggining and has no scratches. Is used for 2 months now.
Don't do it. The front facing camera on the atrix sux...very poor quality to the point where its not worth it. And chances are, much like most atrix owners, you will find yourself trading it back in for an inspire. You might as well save yourself the trouble.

You my friend are in a pickle. With att, at the moment, if u absolutely need a front facing camera, its either the iPhone or the atrix. I wouldn't go with either. Instead, if I were you, I would wait for the realease of the Samsung infuse and see how its ffc is, as well as the phone itself.

Yup, don't do it, just 'cause he sais so. Or just go in the att store take the atrix and open the camera app, switch to front cam and you'll be pretty pleased with the quality. Is more than enough for my atrix and especially for videocalling over att's 4G network.
Edit: btw, both iPhone and Atrix have same resolutions.

I would honestly get the iPhone over the atrix . Go use both for an extended period if you can. The lag of the atrix is annoying as hell and yet to be cracked. The iPhone runs smoother and you can jailbreak it, it also has amazing games and the battery lasts longer. Try them both and get what You like. also you will ne amazed at how much you DON'T use the facetime/videochat. At least most people I know don't use it.

why trade for sth worse?
Sounds like a good excuse to get a tablet lol but I have heard too many bad things about the atrix.
Please answer if you have had both so I can get good advice. The inspire battery isnt a big deal because I can buy another one. And as far as the atrix,I'm kind of a social person so motyrblur won't be a bad thing to me. Please kick me in the rite way loll. I've been pulling my hair out trying to decide

Best Buy carries the Atrix for $99.99 on contract, so if you're for hardware or raw performance I'd go the Atrix path. I personally don't like the Inspire, so I guess that discounts my opinion, but I'd get an Atrix, root it, and maybe flash a custom ROM on it if you don't like MotoBlur or any of options that ADW or Launcher Pro have to offer.
I have the atrix and to be honest with you ... I hate it. Just try and wait it out for for a better phone to be released.
I'd personally say Atrix. It is quite sluggish at times but im sure it can be solved with a software update. the reason is that you will be future proofed and also 1080p recording is in the works.
Thanks guys. Things is I can't wait for a better phone because I have to make my decision Tuesday. Please,more opinions
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I have an Atrix, and I love it. Those that say the phone is sluggish don't know what they're talking about or have a ton of rouge apps running in the background. Just use an alternate launcher and you shouldnt have any complaints.
I would only recommend you go for the inspire if you consider camera quality a top priority or care about the locked bootloader on the atrix (which has almost been worked around anyway).

I have THE Inspire and am VERY happy with it. I was between the two myself and the deciding factors for me were the larger screen, no motoblur, and the awesome development community. If you are into modding your phone, the Inspire has it hands down. My Inspire is running @ 1.4ghz and is noticeably faster than the Atrix's that two of my coworkers have. If you aren't going to root it, or just want to retheme it, than IMO it's just a choice between features.
I really need fast performance,style and sturdyness. I love the 4.3 inch but 4 isn't that bad. Its all I've had so far lol. I wish I could have both to test out lol

I have the inspire and love this phone. Its my second android phone after being with the iphone for the past few years.O and Its free at best buy this week with a new two year or upgrade with 2 yr.
Thanks for all the replies. I think I'm gonna go with the atrix for 2 reasons. First is gorilla glass. I'm known for keeping a lighter or keys in the same pocket as my phone and I've scratched many screens. Also I hate screen protectors. Second is actually 2 reasons in one. Sound quality and the fact that the only thing that drags me towards htc and sense is the evo. I actually have the evo,and its one sexy beast. But I feel like the inspire isn't even up to the evos standards when it comes to the epicness of the phone. The evo set a high standard and still after over a year holds its ground against any other phone on the market. People are still paying 200 dollars for it with a new contract,but the inspire just don't seem to get that much hype. I really like htc's builds and how sturdy there devices are,but I'm no stranger to the plastic feel. I've owned nothing but samsungs ( ) so the atrix wouldn't be a problem on that end. The only thing(s) that is still giving me doubt is the fact that I really wanted to upgrade to a 4.3 inch screen,and that with the atrix it looks as if everything is really tiny,even the keyboard. Please,if anyone has had both,tell me why you decided to go with what phone.

Just updating here for people who may be stuck in the position I was but I went with the inspire,and folks until you hold it in your hands,you wouldn't know its awsomeness. I stated it wasn't as good as the EVO,but I have both and this thing blows the EVO away. And as far as battery life,im a heavy user and I make it through the day off a charge. That's with very heavy usage. I did tweak a few things but nothing I even noticed. Brightness down to 47% and turned off HTC mail sync and news sync. Saves a lot.

when i surf or watching movie, the divice generate heat. and battery perfomance is bad i am using 3G.
also last night it's not charging i have turn of get out battery and than turn it on so many times than it charged i don't know the reason....
device is awesome 3D effect is awesome the audio is good but the speaker volium is low.... when it ring...
tell me abt other review.....
Traded my g2x and 200 for the sensation. Yes, I REALLY WANTED IT lol.
Two days after trading, heres what ive noticed...
Pros...
Nice screen, in comparison to my g2x, I'd rate them equal.
Battery life, GREAT! 24 hours of light use, about 16 heavy use. G2x was 8-16 stock b4 rooting.
Cons...
Lag, naturally sense ui is going to hang more often that lgs' "stock" framework. With that said, unless my battery temperature gets over 40 degrees c, it runs smooth. After 40 degrees? I have to reboot and let the phone sit to cool down.
Heat, my particular device gets rather hot with heavy use over a period of 30 minutes or more.
Keyboard, the "swype" mod on the htc keyboard really can't compete with swype itself. However, its awesome having a rough hybrid of the 2.
What's with the nonscrolling live wallpapers? Dual core processor and it can't handle scrolling live wallpapers? Confused...
In the end, I am happy with the sensation, but I do wish I didn't have the heat issues so bad... Once s off and root are accomplished, I'm sure cm7 will run beautifully on this phone. Until then, I'll get my sense ui fix. ;-P

hands down best looking handset currently out.

I just got mine Yesterday and I love everything about it. Its an amazing phone
Got the phone this Friday and love it ... honestly, i didnt noticed any of those major bugs i saw when browsing throughout the forum xept the white lines someone mentioned but thats problem of like two widgets and not the phone itself. Yet theres one thing, maybe its bug or whatnot, whats pissing me off ... imminent audio muting and call autopickup when using any kind of headset, its very annoying especially when u have a call from a person you dont realy want to speak with (example yer boss on Friday and Saturday night ... dig it? )
On the other hand ... iam not realy impressed by the 8Mpix camera nor the so called "fullHD" videos since they look like ass no matter what you do.
Anyway ... on the scale from 0 to 10 ill give it a 12 ... where 10 is my iPhone 4 16GB and 3 my lol HD Mini failphone.
I love it based on its potential. Once its rooted this phone be is gonna special. Right now it feels like the software is underusing the hardware imo.

Loving the phone. build quality is amazing. you are actually holding a phone and every other plastic phoneish stuff feels like a toy from then. Only con is they could have made the speaker and headset volume a bit louder but when we get root i am sure this will be fixed.
People who are complaining about lags. Sense 3.0 is a great interface and my phone does NOT lag. I know people are gonna say their dhd with a custom rom will run smoother but sensation is on a stock rom so please stop telling about this. Sensation is going to fly with custom roms it is gonna be so smooth that it would slip away in your hand.

I've had the Sensation for 9 days now and it's simply amazing. Coming from the HD2, I'm amazed by how fast it is (one of the few who don't whine about how it doesn't feel like dual core phone?) and so far, everything works the way it should *knocks on wood*
Again, coming from the HD2, I also like how the phone feels when you're holding it in your hand, so much better than the HD2.
And I also don't mind the locked bootloader. Of course, it would/will be nice to have it unlocked, but I can live with having the stock rom on it.
Battery an issue
Love the phone so far, except the lack on mini HDMI, battery could be better and of course the low volume, 8 out of 10 for me will see how the SGII stacks up
Ugh this is such a hard decision but I'm honestly so tired of my atrix. Development...yeah right. Basically dead. Really wants to make me switch phones. I got offered an inspire on Craigslist and I tested one out at the att store. Top 3 for me would be inspire, sgs2, and infuse but I haven't gotten any sgs2 or infuse offers sso I'm thinking about taking up this inspire offer. Any atrix converts over here?

Inspire custom roms are amazing. Great battery life on almost all roms I had tried and performance as well. Personally, miui, android revolution, and coredroid are my top 3 best choice.

The Inspire is definitely a great device. Second best on the market imo (behind the GS2, which I also use). I've owned the Inspire longer than any other device I've ever owned. You'll be good with the Inspire for a while. I found development support to be awesome. I can't even part ways with my Inspire, even though it's not my main device right now. I'm still using it as I would a tablet (wifi browsing, games, updating Google Calendar events, etc.).
As P00t said, Inspire and DesireHD roms are amazing. My top three would be Android Revolution, CoreDroid and CM7, though I haven't tried MIUI because I used to have an iPhone and that is what the screenshots reminded me of. Mike and his ARHD team do an amazing job of answering questions or pointing you in the right direction. Sergio and his CoreDroid team has an amazing website and layout to answer any questions. Sigurd_LU has an amazing theme that works flawlessly with ARHD and should work on other Sense roms.

I AM an Atrix convert and i have to say i don't think i will be replacing/upgrading my Inspire for quite a while. The Atrix just ended up being to darn small and had a cheap feeling because of the plastic that was used. The dual core support is more non existent than it should be as well.
The roms for the Inspire are great - for me i love MIUI (a little slow at times), Virtuous Unity 2.39 (smooth and includes Sense), and Cyanogenmod 7 ( smooth and you have a TON of customizations).
Not to mention the Inspire forum has the best contributors i have had the privilege to receive advice from.
In short, go with the Inspire you will be happy that you did.
+1 on Get the Inspire!
The phone itself is great (physically) and with all the roms and apps, you can't go wrong! For sense rom Rcmix Runny is just wow. I'm now running with Stardroid Ranger (based on CM7) - AOSP (my first) and loving it.
Inspire for sure! Top 3 for me are MIUI, Virtous Unity & Gingerbeast. Awesome device

My top 3 are Gingerbeast, Gingerbeast, and umm, Gingerbeast.
I am an atrix convert, and I don't regret letting it go at all. The atrix devs would make a rom and never update them and everything was just themed stock roms. IMO inspire is the place to be, sure it's not dual core but nothing is utilizing a dual core processor, besides the inspire is plenty fast with quadrant scores around 2500. Atrix qhd screen was so pixilated and the inspires screen is pretty vivid not to super amoled standards but still alot better than qhd. Every time you look in the inspire development section you find something new or updated. Inspire is the way to go. On paper it wouldn't seem like it but just from everyday use it blows the atrix out of the water.

I had an Atrix. "HD" screen sucked, camera sucked, it just sucked.
Inspire has amazing screen and camera! I'm usually using MIUI 75% of the time and CM7 the other 25%.
Returning the Atrix for this was VERY wise
