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.

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.

From the Sensation preview vid I saw, dual core, Official Sense 3.0 and GB

Holiday.
Though that nexus could be interesting. I don't know how much I like the idea of the separate menu buttons being made software-based, though. 5mp camera, though they say its "advanced 5mp" is still 5mp. Resolution of images will still be that of a 5mp camera, no matter how "advanced" it is otherwise.
Samsung = FAIL. Never again.

I was going for the Sensation over the GSII because I hate the physical home button. But with all the U.S. carriers likely having their own slightly tweaked version, it very well could be without it . In this case, I'm going with the GSII (I like the extra ram it has vs. the Sensation). If AT&T's version looks like the current version that everyone has, I'm going with the Sensation (an unlocked one from Canada or something - for use with AT&T's bands).

Oh, me too. If the op question had been "which of these phones are you going to dump your inspire for and pay off contract," I'd have answered just as you did.
By the time my full upgrade comes around, there'll be some new bomb-ass HTC phone on ATT. But this time, I have a phone that will keep me going until that upgrade comes...
Unlike the circumstances that brought me to this inspire...
Blew my upgrade on a captivate 2 months before the inspire came out.

I got an upgrade available in December, the day after Christmas. I'm watching for the HTC Holiday.
EDIT: Paid off-contract price for this on Feb 27th. This phone will definitely hold me over til my upgrade, and then hello Holiday!

[Q] any one else heard of the HTC Superphone?

I dropped by my local att stores to see if they had heard anything about the inspire HD or the holiday. They told me they usually get email updates and such and haven't heard anything about them.
Though both stores told me they recently got an email about an upcoming HTC phone code named "super phone." I think its kind of a gay name; never the less, I couldn't find any leaked info on it.
Just though I would see if anyone else as heard about it or has found any information.

Maybe they are referring to the Sensation?

That is what I am thinking as well. Unless they are pushing out a quad core (I highly doubt it since tablets are supposedly going quad core sometime next year), it wouldn't make sense to push two dual core phones out right about the same time.
Though they had no idea what the holiday or inspire hd was, but then again "most" sales rep's don't have any idea what they are talking about..

I agree entirely. Sales reps are generally kept out of the loop on new phones until release is emminent. I don't think quad cores will be ready until November or December, at the earliest, as that is when we see Ice Cream Sandwich start to roll out. Seeing as how ICS will blend gingerbread and honeycomb into one unified Android OS.

This actually wouldn't surprise me, seeing as the Inspire was pretty much a rebranded dhd.
But it would be nice to have a completely new offering, instead of a rehash.

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 don't know much about the Slide 4G but from what I've seen I would trade it for a Sensation in a heartbeat. I despise slide out keyboards. I know lots of people like them but I can't stand the way they make a phone feel in my hand. Because the Sensation's screen is larger I don't have any issues with typing on the touchpad. The Sensation feels like such a premium device. The camera from the Amaze has been ported to the Sensation so it's not like the Slide has that advantage, really. I would make the trade but I don't know a ton about the Slide. Anyone else out there that does?

Only thing is that the MT4GS has a better camera with f2 and other stuff, compared to the Sensation's 8MP. But, it's true that Devs have no interest in the MT4GS or Tmobile's "SGSII"(most likely due to CPU?). These phones have very poor support and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone wanting ROMs.
P.S. No offense to the Devs of the those phones

Only if it has been within 30 days...Otherwise this type of switch only happens when tmo if out of stock os slides then they offer a comparable phone. If the phone was broken under warranty they'll exchange it thru asurion and give you another phone. You could sell it in the XDA market place, ebay, or craiglist(dangerous!).
