Phandroid ran an article this weekend saying that HTC, on htcsense.com, just listed, besides EVO+, the name Inspire HD. I am seeking the opinions of fellow Inspire owners on the following questions:
1. Do you think the Inspire HD is coming to AT&T?
2. Do you think the HTC Holiday is officially going to be called the HTC Inspire HD?
I think the Inspire HD is coming to AT&T, and I think the Holiday is going to officially be called the HTC Inspire HD. HTC has shown, here lately, that they want to keep a tried-and-true name amongst the carriers. They started with the EVO, then EVO 3D on Sprint. The Incredible, and now Incredible 2 on Verizon. The MyTouch, now MyTouch 4G and 4G Slide on T-Mobile. We have the Inspire 4G on AT&T. It is logical that HTC's next smartphone for AT&T would be called the Inspire HD and, with any luck it is going to be formerly known an the Holiday.

That's some interesting conjecture. I can see the logic in your post. HTC's internal name for our Inspire is Ace so the holiday could become the Inspire HD. It's rumored to have a AUDI display so that can make sense, no pun intended. I just hope they follow Huawei's Sonic and include AT&T and T-mobile HSPA+ bands.

What the op is saying would make a lot of sense.
I was thinking the same thing. Should be an awesome phone, whatever it's called. Now I just have to figure out how to get AT&T to give me one like they did with my Inspire 4G.

The bands wont happen as when the buy out is finished one of them will not be active anymore. Att has already stated that non of the current T-Mobile phone will work on 3g once the buy out is finished. To be honest I am looking forward to it but am not to excited. Anything that can't be done already on my phone is not worth doing. I don't play games so that is not an issue. I think things are moving to fast to bother to keep up. If the rumors are true ill wait for the new HTC nexus
I am biased, I will only buy htc.. I honestly don't think any other phone makers compare. With my fanboy-ness out of the way. I will either get the rumored htc nexus, or what ever the holiday turns out to be. I would be more likely to get a dual-core lte nexus then I would one with sense, but it really depends on when and what is released as I am eligible for an upgrade, and sadly I don't think there are any phones out right now that would be considered an "upgrade".

You know that's right. I got 11 months to go before my upgrade. I doubt my little corner of the world will have LTE by then, but I hope the merger will give AT&T a better selection of delicious HTC flavors.

This phone made me a fellow HTC fanboy, I gotta say.
I always did like them when I was drooling over all the other ones on carriers OTHER than ATT, but at the time of my blackberry to Android conversion, the best Android appeared to be the Captivate.
I couldn't get over the difference in appearance between the cappy and the aria, and since the aria was the best HTC phone they had at the time, choosing the Captivate was easy...
And regrettable, in retrospect.
The along comes the inspire, makes me pay off contract, and the rest is history.

What are the chances current rooting methods and ROM's for the DHD will work on the Inspire?
I would assume that it would be the same. We just have to wait for the devs to get their hands on it. I am ditching the captivate for a better working gps and larger screen. Hoping this phone pans out to be half way decent.
If you can run dhd roms with it and swap out the modem driver for the 4g then we should have gingerbread in the form of cm7 right away.
Woo can't wait!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
There is nothing to swap modem wise... "4G" is not a feature that has been added compared to the European or Telus version. They all have HSPA+. It's just that AT&T has decided to give the technology a flashy name.

The inspire 4G looks identical to the Desire HD and according to my sources they share the same code name .... ACE .... if this is the case the desire HD stuff is relevent ..... when someone gets there hands on one pls pm me to see if the inspire can be rotted by the normal methods ( user shoud know how to use fastboot + adb )
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If anyone is brave enough to teardown an Inspire 4G, they could also compare to the DHD teardown:
http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/40711-demontage-desire-hd-tombe-dans-leau/
And confirm if anything looks greatly different.
Seeing as the Telus Desire HD will be on the same frequencies and was announced the same day as AT&T's version, I would be very surprised if there were any hardware differences at all between that and the Inspire 4G. The Telus/Bell network is HSPA+ capable (as evidenced by Bell's Desire Z launch) so I can't see any reason Telus would intentionally ask HTC to send them a version with such a feature stripped out.
If it turns out to be able hackable via the exact same way as the Desire HD and it can run the same unmodified ROMS then perhaps this entire forum section for the Inspire 4G is pointless. In which case it might be better to get rid of the Inspire 4G section or rather merge it and rename the Desire HD to "Desire HD / Inspire 4G"
@r_3 You're going from the Captivate? Is the gps and .3in'' bigger screen worth it? Im not triking to say anything; I have the captivate as well and just wondering about your feelings on it.

I have one too, and yes.
It's not just GPS and a bigger screen.
I don't know about you, but I'm STILL waiting for the Sense ROM to get stable for Captivate and I don't think it's coming anytime soon. Inspire is.
Plus the better camera and flash.
Plus the more premium-feeling aluminum case.
Plus, again--HTC.
I would switch in a heartbeat considering warranty has to give you a phone due to ATT not holding Captivate [refurb] anymore.
Captivate, Galaxy, Vibrant, whatever the hell they call that phone these day, it sux donkey's balls. The GPS is garbage, the phone feels like garbage in ur hands, samsung software update is garbage. Stick w HTC, even if they dont give out official updates, we will always be up to date due to how much devs here on xda are supporting HTC products, HTC sense beats samsung, motorola and lg all day.
I know I am doing my best to justify changing phones form the Captivate, mostly because of the similarity to the DHD and the fact that it is an HTC phone.
Its working gps. Supported phone from the manufacturer. Flash for the camera. Etc that have me leaving my captivate. SAMSUNG really rubbed me the wrong way and a lot of other people as well with their lack of communication and support for their customers. They are more interested in developing new phones and forgetting about their existing customer base and keeping them as loyal customers.
HTC is a phone company that I have used in the past and have been extremely happy with them. I will never buy another SAMSUNG phone.
I think you guys have talked me into it. When I night the captivate I was happy with it for a little until I hit the common problems (gps, updates, lack of real asop devs). I have really wanted to get an htc but I don't want to lose the great display. Do you guys think the inspire will have a better screen than the evo? My buddy has one and the display is lacking big time.

Does your buddy have the AMOLED or SLCD Evo?
The AMOLED is comparable to the Nexus One screen which is brilliant in some light and rather dim in others. The SLCD has a more even appearance to it, and is comparable to the Desire HD screen. Possibly still not as bright as the Samsung super AMOLED but you'd have to decide for yourself.

I'm thinking the "doubleshot" that was rumored the other day is going to be a new mytouch. maybe a mytouch slide since the first was espresso..think "I'll have a double shot of espresso" Some say the doubleshot is going to have dual screens.. others think it's because it's dual processor. I read also that the doubleshot is the pyramid just renamed... I kinda think though it will be the next mytouch slide.

Far as this topic goes they won't call it new myTouch as normally myTouch is heavily TMobile branded device. If you know about project Emerald you would understand what I am talking about and where they are coming from. This is just for them to upgrade the base by mass for long term usage on hardware/software platform. When you have device that is heavily depends on the brand it sticks for sometime. Will TMo have new device? Sure they will will HTC be still top dominate? Sure they will be but they won't be TMobile branded directly.

I do believe that the double shot will be the new mytouch but in slider form. 1st was Mytouch, then Mytouch Slide, then MT4G, So it seems like every 6 months or so there will be a new mytouch, keyboard and non keyboard version.
Just my thoughts,
I actually like the design of the Mytouch
it doesn't look like any other phone on the market right now that i can think of
i am hoping that it might not be a slider form because that doesn't sound like something major to really announce.
Hopefully it is something better. And is it sure that the pyramid is an Android device? Is there any chance it could be a Windows device or is it confirmed to be Android?
@carmen:
At this point, only rumors exist about the Pyramid. One of those rumors is that it will be running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The phone is expected to be publicly announced at this year's CTIA, scheduled to take place in about a week.
While I like the design of MT4G (I like it, but don't LOVE it), it lacks the upscale/professional form factor of the Evo/Thunderbolt/Inspire 4G/Desire HD. If the Pyramid will have that form factor, I am a first day buyer.
OK, I just got eligible for an upgrade, and was about to pull the trigger on a Galaxy S2 when I picked up a Galaxy 8.9 Tab to play with. Long story short, I spent my upgrade money on it (and a sexy piece of hardware it is, IMO). So now I'm thinking about when to upgrade. I got to thinking about the fact that my Inspire does everything I want it to do right now (MIUI is sweet!). I'll have another upgrade coming in a couple of months (I steal my sons upgrades on my family plan and give him my hand me downs), so I have plenty of options. I also think that an upgrade unused is a waste of potential money.
So what's around the corner? Think the next best thing is coming out? I could just get the S2, keep the Inspire, and sell the new phone. I'm actually looking at the Skyrocket now, I like the idea of a little bigger screen, but 4.5" is about as big as I would go. Are there any other large screen phones on the horizon that I should be thinking about?
Check out the galaxy note!! One big ass phone/mini tablet.... ur choice!
Keep an eye out for the HTC Elite/Congressional. Should be announced at Mobile World Congress the end of next month, to be released this Spring. That is the one I'm looking for. No specs have been leaked on it, just the internal/rumored names and potential release date so far.

Not that I've heard. I'm waiting until until T-Mobile gets something with a S4 (4th gen Snapdragon) and over 1 GB of RAM. I got the MT4G right after launch and it was worth it then because it was the first phone in the U.S. with a S2 and 768MB of RAM. I'd milk the MT4G a few more months...it's still a fast phone with more than adequate performance.

Every time I want a new phone, I flash a new ROM. Best way to get your current phone to act like a new phone. Left MIUI for Febs ICS beta recently. It's so amazing It will save you a lot of money comparatively too.
I have an HTC HD2 (T-Mobile version unlocked, on AT&T) and I am looking at getting a T-Mobile plan. My HD2 had Android 2.3.7 (AmeriCan Android). It runs the SD card, so I can still use WM6.5.
So, when I go to T-Mobile, the free phones they have (at Costco) lists the MT4G, which looks like the best free one.
But, when I compare what Costco / T-Mobile and PhoneScoop.com say are the specs, they don't match.
I'm wondering if going from the HD2 with Android to the MT4G is worth it. I know I can keep the HD2 and if I don't like the TM4G as much I can switch back (or even back and forth), but I was wondering what MT4G users think of their phones.
Also, does anyone change to a newer version of Android before the warranty runs out?
I love my mt4g. no the specs should all be the same. I get over a day running cm7 overclocked to 1.5ghz with normal use. Was going to use the phone as a present to control a Logitech harmony base but. Have decided to wait till HTC makes there next big one not really liking sgs2 after using one.

Oh dear god PLEASE DON'T BUY THE "LG MYTOUCH 4G"....it's not the real mt4g and you wont get any rom support
Oh yeah I forgot about that phone yeah stay away from LG at all costs!

Honestly wait... I had the mt4g from launch up to about 2 weeks ago... tmo offered me a sensation as a warranty replacement.. don't get me wrong, it's a nice device, but the mt4g dev section makes me miss my old phone. Unless it's free (aka me getting the sensation didn't effect my bill, upgrade date or contract..) , I'd stick with the mt4g.

I will watch out for the LG version to avoid it, but I was looking at T-Mobile from Costco. They have the T-Mobile® myTouch™ 4G Black, and in the pictured you can see "HTC" on the back.
The reason I was looking at this was it is $0.01 from Costco, and it seems to be pretty good compared to my HTC HD2, and I'm running Android, like the mt4g, so I thought that would be a good step.
Thanks!

The development of this ROM is amazing. I got lucky and didn't realize that before I bought the phone, but the MT4G is a fantastic phone for $0.01 on contract.
Either way though, I may suggest a dualcore if it ever goes on a sale. Quite sure there was a time when the SGS2 was like $0.01 during Christmas for T-mobile. Try and look for deals like that.

The SGS2 deal was something like $200 down, with $200 mail in rebate, and $20 per month for 20 months! Not quite the deal I was looking for.
Not sure if I should wait for a better deal toward the end of the month, or take the plunge now!
Anyone know if any T-Mobile deals are coming soon?
You are only going to get a great deal on T-mobile if you aren't a current customer (just my opinion). Otherwise, wait until you are eligible for phone upgrades.
Hello everyone. Im deciding whether to get the Sensation or Amaze and finally hop back on the HTC bandwagon. I currently have the Samsung Epic 4G on Sprint and hate it lol. It has no development compared to this Phone . Im switching companies so I just want to know from you guys who have the Sensation, should I join you guys or pay a little more for the Amaze?
Phone History:
Motorola Cliq XT <- -_-
HTC Touch Pro 2 <- -_-
HTC HD2 <-
HTC MyTouch 4G <-
Samsung Epic 4G <- -_- lol
Sensation. Much, much, much larger dev community that'll last a lot longer.
I have the sensation 4G and Iove it.you can get them now for $50.00.

If you switching carriers save your discount for the sg3 . I'm leaving T-Mobile for sprint or at&t , if you wanna trade phones If I go with sprint that's fine with me. My next phone will be the sg3 no matter what carrier I go to ,but the phone you got would hold me over nicely til that Sammy make it to the states .my sensation is unlocked,rooted,and has the white beats with audio housing . It has the chichitec 1900 mah battery plus all the original stock stuff. Mint condition . Is currently running coredroid ics.

I wouldn't call it pointless. Removable battery and an SD card slot, as well as a non-pentile display are some key points for the Sensation.
The One S has Sense 4.0 officially, and it's technically faster, but realistically there's no difference in speed unless you're playing the newest, hottest games - and even at that the Sensation should be able to cover it.
Get the Sensation and enjoy the XDA Development in this forum section! cool
The Amaze has a slightly better camera, room for an SD card, and removable battery. I had the phone and enjoyed it for a bit.....but the XDA community for it...man, you just want to stay away from there.. It is one of the most unfriendliest XDA environments.
So if you like trying different Roms and Mods and not being harassed for asking a question that might have been asked 3 months ago, stay away from the Amaze on XDA.
If you are just gonna run stock Rom and you can get the Amaze at the same price as the Sensation then I would say go for it.
Thanks guys and yeah their forums look pretty rough. I don't need a "God Phone" , I just want a newer and nicer looking phone and im thinking of getting the sensation over the Amaze at this point. The Amaze has terrible battery life and although the build quality and specs are impressive, i've seen a rom on here that makes the sensation pretty much equal to the Amaze.. Oh and im not going to T-Mobile with it im buying an unlocked version and using it on Simple Mobile. I got tired of seeing my mom's infuse 4G on simple get 7.3Mbps and I usually average roughly 700kbps and I pay $40 more lol. Plus in my opinion, the Sensation looks better than the Amaze anyway and I was going to get the SG3 but honestly im not going back to Sammy again rather lay back and chill with the HTC crew like old times lol

Well If you do go with Sprint and want to trade let me know definitely. My Epic is in Great condition and currently using CM9 ICS Which runs great. I am switching in 2 weeks after my last bill comes in.
What is simple mobile?Is it a pre-paid carrier?

In a way im not sure but its the fastest MVNO company to rise ever and its fairly respected especially since it only launched 3 years ago. It runs on T-Mobile's GSM network so you basically have T-Mobile service but you pay relatively less. They have unlimited everything with 4G for only $65 with tax included. Not alot of people like it and say the service isnt great but it depends on where you live. I live in Buffalo NY and they cover all of the area and with 4G..something Sprint failed to accomplish in the year i've been with them lol. I just have a lot of expenses now and the $100 a month is hurting me on Sprint.
Once I get the Sensation 4G hopefully or the Amaze whichever one, it will be unlocked and used with this Company. Check them out if your looking for a GSM alternative and you live in the states

Oh and they are also a pre paid service but mainly are known for their awesome Unlimited $40 and $60 dollar plans. And the coverage aint half bad either
SENSATION!!!
Sensation all day. The only true advantage of the amaze is hspa42 vs hspa14. If data speeds don't matter to you too much then go for the sensation. As posted before, amaze development is virtually nonexistent.

Yeah and after looking up tons of reviews about the Sensation from Engadget, Pocketnow, MobileTechReview, etc etc they all seem to really approve the phone. I honestly only wanted the Amaze just because it was newer and faster and that is one thing everyone said about the phone. The sensation with GB and sense 3.0 lagged and was slower in the Quadrants compared to other DC phones like the G2X and Atrix SG2. The Amaze is quick but pays the price with battery life. And yeah development on here from what i've seen is "SENSATIONAL" if I may say. And im sure the awesome dev's on here have turned this phone into one to be reckoned with!!

Amaze isn't actually faster. It's just clocked at 1.5Ghz whereas the Sensation is underclocked at 1.2Ghz. Once you've rooted and whatnot, you can overclock or flash a new kernel. Either way, the Sensation can match the Amaze.

Yeah true and both phones are basically the same, just both has their own different design style. I am quite looking forward to seeing the difference in QHD verses my Super Amoled also. 960x540 on a 4.3" should look very good!!
I'm using a Bell Sensation on AT&T right now. Over the past few months I've been cycling through phones and though I 'stalk' the marketplace, I simply can't find a reason to let go of my Sensation.
Developer support is great - you have your choice of so many ROMs that there is something that works for everyone's tastes. The only thing that the Sensation 'lacks' is RAM - 1GB would be nice and it was something I was worried about when I bought it, but it hasn't been a problem at all. Expandable storage and removable battery are a must for me so the One Series is out of the question for me at this point. Great display quality as well. Go with the Sensation - you won't be disappointed.
The T-Mobile variant is very reasonably priced as well.
Go for the sensation. The specs doesn't really go far from the amaze virtually plus the development community is great. A lot of variety to choose from.

Get the sensation flash the newest OrDroid rom and you will be satisfied for months. I find it funny how we kind of have the same story ! I too had sprint and my mom simple mobile. She would get 7mbps down while i was lucky to even see 400kbps down on my Epic 4g Touch(galaxy s2). I Finally made the switch to simple mobile and got the sensation ! I am very pleased. Oh and btw if you have a t-mobile phone (sensation) it doesn't need to be unlocked to work on simple mobile. Just pop in the sim card set the apn and you're ready to go.
