Inspire 4G to Atrix

Sold my Inspire not too long ago (I fell prey to the allure of the dual core Motorola Atrix).
Worst... decision... EVER!!!
Although it had the dual core it actually felt slower and more clunky overall than the Inspire. I was running GingerBlur which helped as it basically removed MotoBlur but itstill felt like a real step backwards. HDMI was kind of a novelty although I never used it. The only thing in Moto's favour was battery life. For me, I prefer quality over quantity .

If u read up on this matter, specifically other inspire owners doing the same thing, you would have an overwhelming amount of first hand accounts coming to the same conclusion... the atrix is a fail of a phone and its not worth it. Specs doesn't make the phone. It's the overall experience that does. Some people have to find out the hard way I guess. My advice... switch back to the inspire.

I just re-read my post, forgot to mention that I received an Inspire in the mail today . As soon as it booted it up I was much happier than I ever was with the Atrix.

The Galaxy S II looks appealing but I'll wait it out to see how the dev community pans out I think.

I'm not one to use the new jive talk the kids use, but if the specs are correct, this will be one beast of a phone.

Lmao Look at their source, pocketnow, who were the first show those specs along with the HTC Lead as well. Seriously though, I like what I see about the Holiday. Glad I still get my upgrade in Dec, since I went off-contract for this phone to get rid of the p.o.s. Crapsung a777. When Dec comes, hello Holiday, or whatever they will call it when they "officially" announce it.

Looks pretty legendary!

if you had an upgrade available what would you get?

Ok, i have a upgrade available from ATT. If you had one available what would you get that is better than the inspire if anything on ATT? please post why and which smart phone...

I'd either get an Atrix or wait for new phones to come out soon.

I would get a healthy dose of wait, and defenitly not an atrix.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App

Currently, the HTC Inspire is hands down the best phone ATT has on there list. If your an Apple Fan then the Iphone 4 is probably what you want.
But in all honesty, I would wait for the HTC Holiday to launch. Talked to an HTC rep the other day that said the phone would be available on the ATT Market by the end of the year at the latest.

I would wait for the HTC Holiday/Inspire HD

I would also wait for the htc holiday. However if i had to upgrade it would be the nexus s
I DON'T LIKE SIGNATURES...

I would get an Atrix. No offense to anyone in this section, but it runs better than my Inspire did.

I don't think ATT has anything that is an upgrade to the Inspire. Yet. They will before the end of the year. I would definitely wait to see what comes.

I'm not getting anything else until there is a kick butt dual core processor option. In the mean time I'm content with the Inspire. Got it running sweet on all cylinders.

I would get nothing with a cheap plastic housing that is going to cost you twice as much as the Inspire to get. Get the Inspire or just wait. I would wait, unless you really need a phone now.

Hopefully they will be better than the Galaxy S was, though that might be setting the bar a bit too low.......
I would hang on and wait for the next gen phones due out later this year, maybe a dual core model.

Honestly, I would either wait for the iPhone 5 to hit the shelves (or wait for the masses of idiots waiting in line to buy one to move out), or wait for the Holiday to come out. Depends on which OS you prefer, but those would be top end for iOS and Android respectively

Please help

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I look at the Sensation, SGS4G or G2X?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I would get a Sensation 4G. G2X has to many problems, and the SGS4G is kinda dated.

Sensation. Easily the best choice. Dual core, 768mb RAM, great looks, reasonable battery life, great overclock.

G2x. All of em are good now!

Not just screen size. A higher resolution than most. Being rooted is exploding atm, new **** everyday. Htc can make a phone, that's for sure.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

G2X is not a bad phone--the hardware is definitely not lacking and it's running near-vanilla android! BUT the software's been known to be plagued with crippling bugs. If you know you're going to be flashing over CM7 or some other ROM, then G2X wouldn't be a bad choice.
Sensation is overall more stable and better built, but perhaps not as zippy (unless you again flash custom ROMs)

Mt4g still alive and well!

Has anyone besides me noticed, that with all the newer handsets that are coming out, the mt4g is still comparable, and not really outdated! I am still loving mine. Best handset is have had to date. And believe me, b4 I got laid off, I was changing phones every 3 to 4 months...

IMO the sensation really isn't anything special. The screen on it sucks and its not that fast for it being a dual core phone. I played with the epic touch gs2 yesterday....and now that's a phone to drool over. That right now is the only phone out that's worth an upgrade from the mt4g. Again this is just my opinion.

I've heard some bad things about the Sensation, but I think the sluggish speed is caused by the async Snapdragon that Qualcomm made. Both CPUs won't be on unless they're both needed and I'm guessing that doesn't work really good in Gingerbread, so perhaps on 1 core is active. When the Exynos or Tegra 2 the cores are both on all the time, so they should be faster, although they still clock up and down as normal. The screen in lacking, but it's no S/Amoled or IPS or Retina. HTC doesn't really produce nicer screens like the competition, they use S-LCD or LCD in their phones, not sure if they have any other tech ATM.

Well, I can agree on this. I've never been a fan of MyTouch models, but T-Mo forced me. I've been from a T-Mo G1 (Dream), to a T-Mo G2 (Desire Z), then to a samsung Galaxy S 4g and when it got stolen, the assurant would only leave me with a MyTouch 4g. Really can't compare the screen, but hey, I'm more than pleased. I'm quite impressed this phone doesn't have that much of a great feedback from T-Mo. :/ Oh well.

Yeah I've had a bunch, came from an epic and I have to say this phone is good stock. Unity is boss though. Omfg.
Edit: one other thing... This community is so chilled and friendly compared to the previous ones I have been a part of. Thank you people...

Totally happier with this one. SGS4G relied TOO MUCH on the screen~ and it was just annoying sometimes. I got used to physical buttons because of my last phones, so I felt like using an iPhone not an Android. And besides, the SGS4G's front facing camera was just sad.

DhD, TB, and MT4G is last 2GS single core proc of HTC and with even DDR1 768MB we are set for long time. Keep in mind with custom mod hack (script, tweak, rom, kernel) if you know what you doing your set now until we have need for dual core.

Sorry was it hard for you to comprehend?
DhD = Desire HD (GSM)
TB = Thunderbolt (CDMA)
2GS = Second Generation Spandragon
So technically Inspire HD (GSM-US) is equivalent of Desire HD (GSM-EU). Since we real pro die hard SmartPhone user know HTC owns Moto and SamSUX, so that's another subject of its own.
Now the point I was making is as you being home user you yourself do not need or dual core mCPU yet. So MT4G is same spec as Thunderbolt (yes I'm aware of the screen and nand diff). Thus last of its kind not failed attempt to upgrade us to dual core when Android framework so far utilizing only cpu0 as cpu1 thread is most not used as OS and App is not using it yet.

Most likely, never had the chance to check. The phone got stolen a month after bought so I could barely play around with it. It's not usual of me to root a phone the same day I get it; I stay with root for a few days, and in this case, a month. Now with the MT4G, no way I was gonna stay with stock for a month, no way. |: hahaha.

Hi guys, I've move to the Sensation its nice and all,but mytouch4G seems better and faster to be honest I miss my mytouch4G its a great phone. I'm thinking of selling this Sensation and get HTC Amazed or SGII. But I love Sense but the speakers in HTC sux,gonna be a hard decision.

I'm new to smartphones, got the MT4G in Feb and love it. I just rooted last month and put Virtuous Unity(2.3.5 and V9 unity kernal) on it and it outperformed the Sensation in quadrant and just "feels" better.
The MT4G forums here are great! Even this old man has learned alot.

This is my first smartphone. Rooted and S off the first week. Been impressed eversince. My girl got a g2x it seems sluggish compared to mt4g. Battery life is much better also.

I actually like their builds .

I just got my lady the Infuse4g and it seems like a nice phone, but too light for me. I like my inspire a bit too much.

Looks nice....
Love the Inspire 4g, but am ready for a upgrade without too much change. Make sense?

I've heard that the 4.7" HTC Runnymede (only name I've heard so far) could possibly be making its way to AT&T after being released in Europe for a few months first. Kinda like the same thing they did with the DesireHD before the Inspire came to the U.S.A.

My thoughts exactly

I just want an HTC phone with build quality like the Inspire, HD resolution, dual core and a decent sized battery. I love the specs on the Galaxy Nexus but I will never buy another Samsung product.

I heard a while back about an "Inspire HD". I think it was on Android Central. I've never seen anything else about it, though.
