My Contract with AT&T ended on the 14th. They will upgrade me to the Inpsire for 69 bones with another 2 yr Commitment. I looked and the only other phones they have right now that I am interested in are the Atrix @ 199 and the Iphone 4 @ 99 for a refurb...
I have scoured these forums for the choices I have, and Inspire seems like the best. With that said tho, should I wait? Is there anything worthy coming out that I am missing? I do not see anything anywhere slated, but Two years is a long time and I will be stuck with my choice. Would make me a sad Panda if something great comes out in two months that I could have waited on.
I Just want to make the best decision, I am upgrading from a iphone 3g. ..Like I said, two years is a long time...
There won't be anything of interest for at least a couple months, likely longer. As for being stuck with your choice you can always sell your inspire and buy a different phone later on. The only other thing I would consider is holding onto your upgrade (maybe for iPhone5 to resell when it comes out) and just buying the inspire on here from someone with one for sale. Probably be about 340 for one.

In my opinion, it's taking AT&T this long to offer a brilliant phone like the Inspire 4G. You may be waiting a long time till something better comes out. And the Atrix is a joke. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
There's just so much choice as far as customization goes and with the right set up...an Inspire 4G is as fast as any dual core processor out there.
But it also depends on your personal choice. If a Front Facing Camera is important to you. Then the Inspire isn't for you.
mmmm *hugs my inspire* I am glad I bought you out of contract.
I was in the "should've waited two more months to use my upgrade" situation, myself, with the captivate->inspire, so I understand your concern.
However, spending an upgrade on an inspire is a lot less likely to give you "used my upgrade remorse" than if you had done it with a captivate, only to have the inspire come out a couple months later.
This is a solid phone that will make you wonder how you managed to get it for that low of a price.
And that's coming from someone who paid full, Off-contract price, even.
Inevitably, though, a new phone will come out. You may want to consider, as mentioned, grabbing one Off-contract, and save your upgrade for when the new phone does come out.
(By the time that happens, I'll personally be up for another upgrade, and I know I will be much more discriminating in how I choose to spend it, this time around.)

Hmmm, Thanks guys. I just looked at ebay and I can get 200 - 250 for my 3g unlocked. It broke 2 months ago and Apple gave me new one so this one is in perfect shape. Looks like I can get an inspire out of contract for 300-350 bones. That might just be the best solution for me.
Maybe i should go in and try it out for 25 days or so and ensure I like it. I need it to mostly stream Sirius XM at work. But as my 3g does that I am sure this will have no issues.
I was without a contract for a good long while, so I replaced my Tilt with an Inspire. Now that there is a model of the Evo with a REAL keyboard, I'm starting to wish I had waited longer, for the possibility of an Inspire with a REAL keyboard.
I get REALLY REALLY tired of having to retype everything 2-3 times on the fake keyboard phones.
I am happy with the on screen keyboards. But I don't use my phone for texting. Sometimes I'll reply to the wife. Most times I don't even do that. Lol
I need/want Siruis XM and a Book reader. Truthfully I could prolly just stay on my 3g. Its slow, but both of those things work perfectly. Stanza Reader is amazing.......I would just like a new shiney.
I had a tilt, I loved it, flashed a rom every other day and then made my own. Which is another reason I am looking at this phone. I was completely addicted to customizing when I could.
I have an Evo and the Inspire is basically an Evo with better specs, so yes definitely take the Inspire. DO NOT TAKE THE ATRIX. You can't do much with it in terms of rooting, etc. The whole phone screams GIMMICK. Either get the Inspire, or:
1. Get iPhone 4
2. Sell iPhone 4 for $400-$500
3. Get Inspire 4G
4. ???
5. PROFIT!
Ha, that buying reselling thing aint my bag.
Go for the inspire. I compare it with my mom iphone and my phone KILLS it. Once it gets the speed it deserves you wrong be disappointed

Get inspire 4g after what people say on this forum they will have an atrix and go back to inspire...
Thanks for the feedback! I'm in the same situation (have a 3GS and currently out of contract). Actually had a Captivate for a week when they first released and took it back due to all the issues. I think I'll actually grab the Inspire now.
Yeah thanks peeps. I have been inspired to leave apple. I'll try it for 25 days and if I like I will keep.
Hard not to just get the iphone4 for 99 bux tho.......

I work for an AT&T Dealer ... I strongly discourage you from buying anything refurb from AT&T/Apple.
You will do much better scouring your local craigslist for a gently used iPhone 4 and buying a $2.00 microSIM adapter off amazon then doing your upgrade to the inspire and enjoying the freedom to come and go as you please from the confines of the apple OS.
I might also suggest you research the Samsung Captivate. Lots of outlets have it on clearance right now for as little as $.01. You will find much more customization options for it and better battery life.
Then again, love my Inspire ... thats why I have two phones, one for work and one for play.
Good luck!
Not sure I feel ya on that referb stuff man. I bought my current Iphone from ATT referbished they replaced it a year and 7 months after when I dropped it and broke it... For free. Not underwarranty, had no insurance...They just hooked me up.
A phone is nothing but a toy for me. Spending money on a used Iphone and then also on an inspire is out. That is just to much money on somethin I use to read books and listen to stern at work on. I think getting the inspire and still having my 3g will be plenty. If after 25 days I still use my 3g more, well, then I'll take the inspire back and get the iphone 4. ../Shrug.
I've had a HTC Tilt 2 for the last year and its starting to get less desirable than it used to when i got it. I love the phone is just that it is now to the point that i have to push the reset button at least 3 times a day...minimum. used to have to hit maybe once a week. it also sucks that there is a minimal amount of decent apps for it. so I can decide if i want to upgrade to the Inspire or the Iphone 3gs(can't afford an Iphone 4). My only big problem with either is that neither has a slide out keyboard like my Tilt does which i love because I can poke out messages real well on the virtual...i would probably get better if i was forced to though and that the battery life is kind of crappy on the Inspire. Can anybody out there help me out? Let me know if yall need more information from me to help any.
Battery life is manageable if you intend to MOD your Inspire. Stock ROM battery life is poor, trade off for the screen size.
If price is really an issue, look for a Captivate. Some retailers offer it for free and it is a BLAST once it is flashed (so is the Inspire).
Whatever you choose though, I can only advise you avoid the 3GS and don't fall into the trap of purchasing the LG Quantum or Moto Flipout just because they have real keyboards. You will just be SAD and BORED.
The iPhone is so last week ...
Just traded my Tilt2 in for the Inspire, and I love it. I too loved my keyboard and thought I would miss it but I don't. Yeah the battery is just okay but my Tilt wasn't any better and if you wark like I do I always have a USB close. I also ordered an extra battery, like I do for all my phones. Go for it, you won't be sorry and around here, it's 99 bucks.
I came from a T2 as well and haven't looked back. I don miss the keyboard at all. If anything I can type faster with the Inspire. In landscape the keys are much bigger & if you don't like the stock one there are dozens more to try in the market.
The community is much better here too. Dev's respond frequently to questions in general as well as Rom topics and there is a much better sense of humor around here.
Take the plunge. You won't look back either. After a day or 2 when you finally put the T2 in a drawer it will feel tiny.

Year ago I went from the Tilt2 to Captivate. Night and Day Difference in Operating systems. I had stuck with WM even coming from the days of IpaQ's. I sold the Captivate which you can one on Craigslist and Bought the Inspire. I really enjoyed the Captivate but The Inspire is a solid device. You will not go wrong with either choice. Do not get caught up in the subsidized price search around and you will find good deals on devices.
I switched too.
I went from the Tilt2 to the Inspire also, and I LOVE it I was a die hard windows guy, but microsoft lost me with mobile ver7. if you really want a T2 i still have my old one with extended battery and already hard spl'd
Once you get used to not using a stylus it's not that hard, i did find it is easier if i calibrate the keyboard after i flash a new rom, might just be a mental thing
Just say no to apple!! get the Inspire!!
God there's a lot of tilt 2 users in this forum. As for me i will buying the inspire near the summer. I still have hopes in the XDANDROID project, hopefully we'll have BT working.
the only reason i am slightly worried about price is because i am in a two year contract with ATT and i am to the point that i can stand the locking up anymore and I'm willing to pay 115 bucks to get out. as far as changing the roms on the Inspire are they easy to change? only im i changed the rom on my T2 was because that new stock rom with sense came out and i had been wanting to get it. on the inspire is there away to get a lot of the apps on the store for free?
i have noticed that amazon wireless has the inspire for like 70 bucks but i have to be ready for an upgrade. i wonder if i call att and pay them the money to end my contract if i will in turn be able to go straight to amazon wireless and buy the phone? what do yall think?
I've heard of some long time at&t customers calling customer service and getting an upgrade early, especially if the topic of switching carriers comes up. I recall this being brought up here in Inspire General, do some searching.
As far as switching roms goes, it couldn't be easier. If you backup your apps with google using a gmail account & and your contacts using the multitude of options available everything but your widgets, home screen layout and side loaded apps gets restored very shortly after 1st boot.
This process makes windows mobile look like a joke. No need for scrips like UC to get everything back the way it was.
I upgraded from Tilt2 mid February.while still half way through my contract. Called & asked how much was my early termination fee coz i was thinking of switching to Verizon (been with ATT for 4+ yrs). They asked why and told them I was looking at iPhone 4 or Thunderbolt. Also told them I was interested with inspire only if i could get an early upgrade. They said ok for 199. I told them I saw an upgrade offer for $69 @ Walmart.com & radioshack. I think I saw it somewhere recently for 49 bucks.
Long story short, they honored the price & I got the phone in 2 days with an early term fee of 350 if i cancelled within 2 yrs. Unlimited plan grandfathered.
Maybe I shudda waited for the Thunderbolt or Sensation from T-MO but I'm happy with this phone even without the front facing cam for now.
Still enjoying stock ROM.
Never had any problems with the Tilt2 with energy ROM. I stuck with the version shown below my signature. Didn't flash to any updated versions as it was stable for my usage.
The only thing I miss is outlook task syncing. Calendar is ok but i dont get appointment & tasks notifications anymore. Something I should research when i get a chance.
Hope that helps.
Sorry for the long response.

I got the TB first week of its release. I was its biggest fan, defending it, learning everything about it, rooting , roming, kerneling, tweaking. Everything like a normal flashaholic would do.
To set the Hate straight, I adore HTC because its rooted in my DNA and I support my countries products. But OMFG the Thunderbolt is a bust. I know our natural reaction is to defend it because most of us are locked up for 2 years, and maybe some even spent cash to buy this phone out of contract. God bless you.
But this phone has not lived up to the hype. not one bit. This is not the phone of my ****ing dreams. all i see is the potential for this phone to be great. While we are waiting for this potential to happen, other phones are slowly coming in and smashing our Dreams..
The sooner we can be honest with ourselves is when we can finally appreciate what this phone is. Its average, maybe its better then the older phones, maybe this was the next gen android, but this is the pre alpha next gen android.
If i was going to buy anything based on potential and speculation i would buy this phone for $100.. if i were to buy a phone of my dreams, then i would pay $250..
1st round BUST.
I like the TB but have three advantages over most people.
1. I didn't have any expectations going into the purchase. When I found out that Verizon was going to tiered pricing I just looked at the available phones and picked the TB. A colleague has one and he had good reviews. It replaced my ageing Droid Incredible and has done a fine job of doing that. Not having expectations makes a phone better. I didn't set the bar higher than the device could live up to.
2. I don't change ROMS. I'm happy with the stock phone based upon #1 above.
3. I'm in a situation where I don't have to worry about contract length. If I want to change in a few months, I will. It puts a lot less stress on me to make sure the phone performs. I'll probably have a different phone by the end of the year.
I love my Thunderbolt. Now that I'm running CM7 and a custom kernal it great. I had an Eris for 18 months, I know pain
Plus something better is always going to come along within months, it's the nature of the industry.
I have had my Tbolt since Launch and Im have been happy with it. I never experienced any of the issues that were reported around. Its done everything I could ask and running strong. I only rooted to have the wifi teather..
My only peeve with the bolt is that the screen won't turn off when I'm in a call.
other than that i am ok with it.
And i qualify for an upgrade within 6 months (didnt pay full price for the bolt either). hopefully vz will get a LTE nexus phone.

damn I've never been so happy with a phone before, does everything short of getting me off.
I love my TB. If u think its pre alpha or whatever u can wait. But in the end ur always going to be waiting cuz there is always going to be a phone thats better then the last one.
So far the pros have outweighed the cons. Not many smartphones will deliver 35+Mbps download speeds. I at times get data speeds that is faster than most peoples home wifi. Of course its not perfect. It also has things I don't like. But I intend to keep it until the next HTC with LTE is released.

Add me to the loving my TBolt since launch group. It's still the best LTE phone on VZW IMO. That could change when the Bionic drops, but by then I will have been enjoying this phone for 6 months. I'm a patient man, but not that patient.

I've got no patience. I bought my TB on January and since I've bought a INC and OG Droid. I haven't even received the droid but I want a Droid 3 now. I'm actually thinking of selling my Glock for the Droid 3 but I know in 6 months I'll feel bad for doing it.
Edit: The Tbolt is a great phone I'm just bored already.
I got my Thunderbolt about a month after release and other than the battery life I have had no complaints. There will always be things that it owuld be nice to change on any phone.....(hence rooting). But even the things I can't change are still ok to me. I got in before the tiered plans started and when the bionic comes out I am seriously considering it but if I don't get that and I wait a bit longer these things I know for sure when I get a new phone.
1) It will be a 4G LTE phone. 4G is exceptional in the Spokane area and I am addicted to the download speeds. After playing with my sons phone and my wifes Droid X, I will happily stay with 4G
2) I want a same size screen. (Just cant imagine squinting my eyes to see my phone screen again
3) It will have to be a VZW phone because other than AT&T nobody else has as good a connection to me
4) I gotta be able to root it because crapware\bloatware sucks

Ok,Here me out I know this has been asked but I have a different situation and reall y need input as of right now I've read so many reviews and heard so many diff opinions I just want some help on here.
Ok so I bought the shift 11 days ago and realized while I have no problems with it I do want the most out of my upgrade, that being said I turned my attention towards the nexus S, also by the way I only wanted to spend 100 dollars no more than that or I would've gotten the Evo 3d or some other dual core awesome phone. Anyways, I know I would give up the hardware keyboard but feel this is inevitable and something I will eventually do. However the NS has a faster processor, better screen, bigger screen, no crap sprint apps you cant get rid of and a forward facing camera which is a big positive for me.
Heres the deal though I never go against reviews and all the stats say that the Shift wins by like a whole start on every review site. That being said a sprint tech said they have more returns on shifts than the NS and that he loves his NS. So I go in considering the trade and the salesman comforted me saying he wouldn't make the trade. I took his advice then got home and thought well of course the salesman said that it'd be cheaper and they'd have to refund me about 50 bucks and a hundred in the long run. Also I read it has bad wifi problems is that true? I'm sorry for the disorder of this post, I'm just extremely frustrated and don't have much time.
SO I know this has been long, but in eveyones opinion what would you do? i know the NS feels cheaper but I mean does that matter? With a nice case, a zag full body cover and insurance should that matter? Also, the 16gb no sd card thing doesn't bother me I don't think I'll ever and never have exceeded 4gb.
I only have 2 days to decide.
Thanks everyone in advance

Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I just read several times the forward cam is garbage do you know about this? I'm wondering all I want to use it for is skyping. Also another big selling point for me was the thought of Ice Cream Sandwich on it soon vs. the shift taking forever if ever getting it. I heard the NS ram is bad is this true?
Well i'm going to be bias in my opinion, but here goes. There's a reason thr Shift does better on almost every review you read. It's a better device ( IMO ) . Yes it doesn't have a foward facing camera. But if that's the only deciding factor, than just get an EVO4G. Way better than the Nexus S. Plus even though it's been put on EOL. It's still got a lot of life in it. I've had a lot of chances to use other devices, and compare them head to head with the Shift. In the end the Shift always wins. Just a better device than most out there, very underated. So I would say stick with the Shift. But what the Hell do I know .
I've owned a lot of phones and the Nexus is one of them. Few things of consideration..I'd say the WiFi on the Nexus bests the Shift, to answer that question. For me, the battery life on the Nexus is not as good as the Shift. Also, the radio in the Nexus has issues. Poor reception. At home, even roaming, I could barely send a text. This was my biggest reason to part with it and go back to HTC. Other than that I felt the Nexus was a nice phone. No issues with build quality and the Super Amoled kicks ass.
Also, if you are a big tweaker/flasher consider that there are a few rooted roms for the Nexus, but not much. And they are all plain AOSP so they are pretty much the same.
If the Nexus S was out when I got the shift I would have got the Nexus instead. Don't get me wrong I love the shift to death, but unless you want to keep the sense ui then get the Nexus. (I think they even ported HTC Sense to the Nexus S)
Yes the shift is fast-but the nexus is faster, has a better screen, and also a ffc.
Although if you stick with the shift its still an amazing phone
If you don't care about a physical keyboard, get the NS4G. I really want my next phone to have an AMOLED. Plus the support we get from HTC is non-existent for the shift.
Also, the Nexus phone should get the Ice Cream Sandwich update, where the Shift will need to go the AOSP/CM route (most likely, because of non-existent support mentioned above).
Tell ya what if you don't want to trade your shift for a nexus s then let me have the trade. you can have my shift all rooted and ready to go. I want that sleek curvy s in my hands.
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Ill tell ya cuz I'm doing this right now. I'm selling my shift Sunday and getting the NS4G Tuesday. I love my shift to death but I want a new toy. But since you can get a shift for the same price on eBay as a ns4g than go for it!

I get bored with phones very easily but once i got my Inspire i wanted to keep it for more than a month or 2 (which was the shelf life for a phone to me for a long time) So i rooted it to keep me busy/interested, and when i get bored i dive deeper into the root to make it better.But im at a point now where i dont know enough to go much further, and the onlyfriends i have that are into phones like i am are through here. So its hard to actually be taught anything. So i really want a new phone but not sure which direction i should go, or if i should hold out till the new batch of phones is out. In short, why cant i be satisfied with a phone nfor more than a few months?
Nope i wanna stick around until a while. The inspire is a great device

I've found the Inspire to be one of the best phones I've ever owned. I think I'd only put the G1 above it in terms of phones I loved owning. The Inspire has given me 0 problems, has tons of dev support and is still very fast/snappy to use.
Not tired of it at all. I do lust for the Galaxy Nexus or the Razr while laying in bed at night...but I feel bad about it in the morning.

Also, I do find myself getting bored with it easily. Definitely an amazing device, but damn that Galaxy Nexus is tempting. If only it had the 8MP camera!
I actually really like my Inspire still, It's still a very capable device. I am going to be due for an upgrade in the next few months and i am going to be holding on to this phone i think for a while. Till something really catches my eye, because i really want to get another HTC device. The galaxy nexus looks sweet but im not a fan of Samsung's use of so much plastic on their phones.
My inspire makes me pancakes for breakfast every morning. I'll probably keep it until I'm tired of pancakes or my pants don't fit anymore.

That's what's so great about Android and being rooted. Get bored, flash a new ROM. Voila, new phone
No way! I love my Inspire still, it's a great phone, everything is really smooth with it right now. I'll probably hang on to it for another 18 months till i have another upgrade.
I really like my Inspire. I can not find a reason to upgrade. Nothing else out does anything different. I need a new Experiance before I will upgrade again. (or my contract is up). I had a Windows phone and modded the hell out of it and then, I went Iphone and modded it to death, and then andriod. Modded to death. See my pattern, each was a new experience. I will need a reason to leave my phone before I will.
meh...
After having issues with the battery life, I'm ready to upgrade to something with a larger battery & better screen. I'm not really hating on the phone, just disappointed with it.
Next phone I buy will be at cost, since I picked it up for $100 with a new contract.
I'm not tired of it (took 2 months only) but maybe if a little disappointed, I was recently at a concert and record some songs but my disappointment came into play, pesimo sound seemed pfffff q was in a machine room, something my old iphone that never happened to me, but good either me every day I live concerts as he remains so until q together for my new iphone 4s.
I have to say I like it and can deal with the few minor probs like battery life until the edge is released or equal to it. Sense I buy all my phones at cost I am willing to wait and see the next Gen device and right now everything else is just too weak to justify upgrading yet
So far I'm lovin' it. While this IS my first smartphone, I'd have to say I'm impressed overall with the phone. One thing bugs me though. I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do, I like to not have to set my whitebalance to fluorescent every time I want to take a low light picture with my flash... I kinda wish the coders had implemented where if the camera sees low light, and decides to use the flash, to just set the whitebalance to fluorescent. Ahh the little things.
Overall I like the build quality, for ME it's been a solid phone, and I love modding it. Endless entertainment!
i've had mine for a couple months and it's the best phone i've ever owned and im happy with it but honestly im bored. Too many sense rom's are the same and CM7 just dosen't interest me anymore and i've been using MIUI for the last couple weeks but i'm getting to the point where i can't really expand it that much more. I'm going to try to convince my dad (im only 14) to kick my brother off of our family plan and make him go to a gophone plan as he's 19 and dosen't use his phone much and then pay the ETF and switch to verizon, with christmas coming up i think he'll do it but i'll just have to wait
Tired of it? Heck no! This is my fifth Android device and I love it. To me nothing else out at the moment is compelling enough to switch. I love the actual build quality of the phone. Too many other phones just have too much plastic on them and they feel cheap. This phone is solid. Its plenty fast and well supported in the community. My contract is up in August of 2012 so if it doesn't get bricked before then, that is what I will be using. I look forward to see the offerings then.
I've had the inspire since launch day and it has lived up to the billing so far. There's really nothing you can't do with this phone. I live in Houston which has LTE but I'm working in Odessa right now so there's no need for me to jump into an LTE device just yet. They barely have hspa+ rolled out down here. I'll probably wait until next year for the new slate of devices, when att broadens their LTE footprints.
For now I'm enjoying my inspire

I love my inspire but like others am bored of the same old roms. Wanted the vivid but with the tegra 3 quad core already in the new transformer 2 tablet I think I might wait. And Samsung I believe has a phone called the flex that is supposed to come out q2 2012 with a flexible screen and body I think there are too many better phones in the near future to justify using my upgrade now and waiting two more years to get something better. Girl I work with just ordered the vivid so i will just look at it when she gets it and go from there
