Inspire or Atrix?

This is the big question for me. On the one hand I love HTC devices and the screen size (i am a long time HD2 user until I flashed it to death ). On the other hand, it seems like its a rehash of 1 year old technology, with that terrible battery and camera (im using a Captivate and the quality diffefence compared to any HTC device I have used is massive), and the Atrix looks incredible on paper (battery, dual core, peripherals, screen resolution etc). Trouble is, whenever I get a non HTC device, I spend days tryimg to get it to have the look and feel of an HTC device!

Im the same way. I have a captivated know and will be getting an Inspire. Im really not a fan of Motorola phones. I want either the Inspire or the Infuse. Leaning toward the Inspire in big way tho.

Yea, I'm going with HTC, they just seem better built and like you said, with my other Android phones I try to make my non HTC to look like htc, lol!

I love HTC devices too. Even with the older tech and a little bit less in the way of specs, I'd choose the Inspire any day. I'm not a fan of Motorola phones regardless which carrier they've been on. I just haven't had a good one dating all the way back past the razr and up to the first droid. Next, because of the bootloader stuff they did with the Droid X, I imagine they'll try to lock the Atrix down even if they say they're going to work with devs. I love my Aria, no problems at all and it's been a great phone. I kinda see the inspire as a big brother to the Aria which is why I'm going for it as soon as I can.

The Inspire does have its shortcoming but I like AT&T and I like HTC. I'm willing to sacrifice on a few features (battery, CPU, front camera) in order to get what I think is better quality and user experience of an HTC phone. I'm currently still on a Tilt 2 and I will be able to upgrade in May. If at MWC this month nothing better that would hit AT&T this year from HTC is shown then I'll just go with the Inspire.
I'm thinking since the Inspire is being introduced at a lower price than the Atrix then perhaps a purchase at full price for the Inspire with no contract might be worth it in order to save the upgrade credit for something later that might come out toward the end of the year.

I had both in my hand this week, including the Atrix laptop dock. Very nice.
But I think the Inspire seemed more...quality. New Sense interface, great camera controls and efx, 8mp camera with VERY bright dual LED flash. And half the price.
Atrix + Laptop bundle will be $500 on contract. Atrix alone $199
Inspire is $99 on contract.
I'm leaning Inspire

I've had the HTC Inspire 4G in my hands for three days now (be sure to check out some of the videos and blogs posts I've written up already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940312) and I can say that you will not be disappointed with the Inspire. The unibody aluminum case makes the phone feel solid. I played around with the Atrix at CES last month and was not particularly impressed with the handset's external hardware. Also, the higher resolution screen looked a bit off with the home screen UI and many applications.
I don't know why people keep referring to the Inspire and Thunderbolt as being phones with rehashed technology from last year. Yes, the second generation Snapdragon processor did come out last year, but the first phones to use them only started showing up in late fall. If that's your standard for calling something old, the first devices powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 2 surfaced right around the same time.
The processor in this phone performs nearly 50% better than the 1GHz processor found in the EVO and Nexus One (first generation Snapdragon processors).
The Inspire is a well rounded handset with a good camera, decent batter life, and solid benchmark numbers. No, it will not outperform the Atrix or any other phone with a Tegra 2 processor, but at least you can trust the HTC quality and know that it'll probably get an official Android update somewhere down the road.

I originally wanted the Inspire, then once I saw the specs--I thought about the Atrix as my next phone. But now, I think I'll want the Inspire again.
Honestly, I really like the phone. Specs-wise, next the the Atrix, well--old tech.
Next to the Captivate I have now--more of the same. But I'd pick the Inspire over my Captivate any day of the week.
I'm just waiting until it comes out so I can ring warranty and have them send me one to fiddle around with.

Cyanogen. Enough said. HTC inspire is quality work. Yes not the best internal spec. Atrix looks impressive on paper. But for those of us who live on xda atrix will not do it for us. Inspire has many devs already working on roms themes and kernels. Ands its hspa+ it will be a upgrade from my N1.

I think flash happy people with Captivates should and will lean to the Inspire. Seeing as how hard it has been for the Dev community to cook something up rather than spliced together samsung roms. HTC devices just seem so much easier to dev. I am afraid that if I go to Motorola I will have the same issues. I don't know if it is just more Devs on HTC devices or that they are just that much easier to crack. Seems like the other devices are just harder to get anything good on them.

I can attest to this. I have had the captivate since a couple weeks after launch and have been yearning for some cyanogenmod love as well as any ui other than touchwiz. It seems like the devs for the captivate have a really hard time doing anything besides splicing cappy leaks together and while I have run some ready quick and efficient roms, I am always checking the htc forums with envy. I am going to get the infuse pending a better htc device coming out at MWD.

The Inspire is definitely the headsup winner.
Honestly who is really going to use that FrontFacingCamera anyways if it even had it other than make some real time video pron, hahaha
The only question Im asking myself is if there are any 1400mAh or 1500mAh aftermarket batteries that I can swap out after buying it.
1230 mAh is low in comparison to other phones with similar specs

Inspire 4G FTW!

Inspire all the way Atrix is full of hype and no promise. Locked boot, dual cores wont be utilized fully and motoblur is crap

I'm debating between the two as well.
I think what is keeping me from choosing is:
A) continued support from HTC and AT&T, as well as dev support if I wanted it (most likely would, I jailbroke my iphone about two months after I got it)
B) a huge part of the Atrix IS it's docks. I was never interested in them in the first place, just it's specs. So I'd almost be buying half a product
C) build quality! My plastic iphone 3G is literally about to split in half, right where the white plastic and bezel meet. I'm tired of plastic phones.
the Atrix is looking like this: higher res, biometric lock, dual core, RAM, battery
Inspire: Build quality, support, camera (debatable, but still more Megs)

it's not old tech, take a look at the comparisons of the Inspire and the Evo 4G, it's clearly a new device in a similar casing
http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/comparision,htc-inspire-4g-vs-htc-evo-4g-black-sprint.html
I for one look forward to getting mine on (next) Monday. I love my captivate, but I love HTC more.

I have also been wondering if I should leave the captivate and jump to the Atrix or Inspire. I am always one for the latest and greatest so I was leaning towards the Atrix or holding out for another 2 core phone. After reading a lot and browsing these pages I just about want to go for the inspire. Man do I hate decisions!!

After having a Nexus One I'm sold on HTC hardware. I'm going to get the Inspire and love it...at least until HTC releases something better.
However, since I think it will be months before HTC releases another compelling phone on AT&T, I'll be alright with that. The minute you buy technology it's already outdated, and either you can get used to that idea or you can spend exorbitant amounts of money trying to keep up.
I'll get the Inspire for $99 and use the money I save on it (plus the money I get from flipping my Nexus One) to get a tablet this spring. Can't wait for the first HTC Honeycomb tablet!

If Sony Ericsson is saying the Arc is their top tier phone well then the Inspire 4G is really not all that outdated and irrelevant.
Sure its not a dual-core behemoth but from what the early reviewers have said is with the specs it will have when its released, the smartphone is fast and responsive.
Check out my other thread on the similarties to the Arc and other Snapdragon phones and will see that with overclocking, bootloader and rom support this can potentially turn into a dual core beast performace wise.
What can you buy nowadays for $99 anyways, not even a burnt out everyday iPhone or extremely outdated Blackberry.
At least with the Inspire you know right away that potentially all the hard work and Devlopment from the Desire HD thread can be carried over to us.
The Inspire 4G will stay active for a good while in my opinion, I can atest to HTC quality since I still own the phone that started it all the HTC Dream / G1.
This phone has been dropped on concrete, slammed againt walls, thrown around like a bad habit and is still going strong and even have a fast/ stable version of Froyo 2.2.1 with apps2sd enabled and running with zero issues. This phone was only offically updated til 1.6 Donut from HTC and T-Mobile yet the incredible xda community has kept it going and left all who own it satisfied.
That to me is a prime example of what HTC quality, xda support and those out there with the potential to make a good phone great in the Months and Years ahead.
Check out the Samsung and Sony forums those guys are truly regretting their purchases from barely a few months ago while I'm still content from a phone from 2008.
Proof positive that this purchase will be a smart one from whomever takes a chance on it when its released to the public.

Captivate to Inspire 4G

This question is mainly for the former Captivate owners...
I am considering going from the Captivate to the Inspire. I am well aware of the hardware and software differences, so I need not to be schooled there. However, I would like to hear opinions as far as personal experiences go when going from the captivate to the inspire. Also, from a development point of view, the captivate is great because of the high competition and many choices of different custom roms...how promising is the inspire as far as develoment goes? Thanks.

seen your post in the captivate or iphone4 thread earlier, just go get the inspire dude, hands down without doing anything to it is way faster and wya more enjoyable, havent felt like that about a phone since droid x, had captivate 6 months sold on craigslist and got the inspire and not one regret at all. way more polished then cappy for sure. and im pretty sure devolpment is alot bigger then cappys, because inspire is basically desire hd.

I agree. I bought the Captivate back in August. I kept it stock for months and I was disappointed by the was Samsung treated us. Eventually I put Andromeda 1.2 and that made the phone much more enjoyable.
I am much more happy with my Inspire than I ever was with my Captivate. That includes the hard work and great job Team Komin did to make the phone good.

The captivate was nice but nothing like the Inspire.
I got sick of loading new Roms each week just to have it perform.
About the only Rom that worked for me was the cognition, everything else f k ed something up.
You will not be disappointed, this works right out of the box.

I hope I enjoy my inspire as much as you guys do. I should be getting it mon, or tue. Can't wait to give it a try.

Just bought the inspire a few days ago, off contract even, after pissing off my upgrade on a captivate last November.
This phone blows the captivate out of the water.
The difference is just...stunning.

Agreed. Went from Iphone 3gs to HTC Aria, to Iphone 4, to captivate (it's sad when a low/mid phone pulls someone away from iOS to Android) to streak to inspire (all since this time last year. yeah i'm a phone whore). Inspire is by far my fav

Inspire runs circles around Captivate, even in stock form.
Sent from a telegraph station somewhere in northern Russia.

I went from a Samsung Captivate to a Motorola Atrix (for a few days) to the Inspire. Samsung Captivate frustrated me to no end, and the Motorola Atrix build quality was just terrible. The Inspire is a great phone with superb build quality, and it's quite snappy to boot. I say go for it!

No offense to the OP, but I think it is time to start discouraging the over abundance of these " what kind of phone should I get " or " what is your opinion of the Inspire, compared to ..........." Again, no offense to anyone, but there are already a ton of these threads. Let's just search or bump one of those and make a Hugh effort to keep this forum uncluttered

Captivate to Inspire is like going from a Mitsubishi Eclipse to a Porsche. HTC is the most developer friendly phone manufacturer on the Android Platform. This phone has been out less than a month and we already have lots of ROM options out there including CM7.
On paper the Captivate is a great phone and it has some specs that are a little better than the Inspire, but the proof isn't on paper it's in actual phone use.
The Inspire is a solid phone with great hardware and a a thriving developer community. Make the move you won't be sorry.

None taken, however I created this thread for a very specific purpose. I am aware of other posts about "what phone should I get." I did look for a thread specifically for this topic and didn't find one. I wanted to see what other captivate owners had to say about going from the captivate to the inspire because an opinion from somebody coming from an iPhone or something else is not going to help.
Anyways, I finally decided to head down to the ATT store and picked one up. Needless to say I am very impressed with the inspire. The salesmen tried to get me to buy the atrix. He said the inspire was not only selling like hotcakes, but it outselling the atrix and said that the atrix isn't selling as good as they thought it would. I told him the deal breaker for me for the atrix was that it has a smaller screen, motoblur UI which I don't like and its not development friendly.

I can tell you this, you will not regret your decision. I can't believe the night and day difference over the Captivate. It is a whole new world.

I loved my Captivate. I love my inspire even more. It's definitely a step up. I'm not one to load roms and such, but I've seen a plethora of custom roms available for it, as well as, heard others speaking of roms.

I just got mine three days ago. I cant go back to the cappy now. Harder to root but once done easier to flash roms, and battery life sucks but blows the cappy away lol

I went from a Captivate to an Inspire and have liked it so far minus one major flaw, ROM space. On the Captivate I had loaded TONS of applications, so much so my wife constantly complained that I had too much junk on my phone. But I was testing, playing with new programs and seeing what worked for me. The Inspire has so much less space that when I initially set it up and the market tried to reload all my applications I ran out of space. I had to purge a ton of applications from my list. But since I never used many of these applications it wasn't a major issue.
That being said, I would make this trade every time, this phone is so much nicer and everything just works, including the GPS. I am very happy with the new phone and within a week of getting it I have rooted it, put on a couple tests ROMs, played with them then went back to a rooted stock ROM. So it seems development here is very lively, at least for what I do with my phone which is replace a ROM once in a blue moon. Now I have a captivate to play with as my toy phone and this phone as my work phone. Two phones for only $80 isn't bad (the original Captivate I got in August was essentially free after they rebated me $200 over the months for all the trouble then I upgraded a family line with the Inspire for $80).

The great thing is that with Froyo from the factory, you can use app2sd with no trouble and have quite a bit more apps than you otherwise could with ROM space.

[Q] Should I get it?

Hello XDA,
I currently have the HTC Aria (Rooted) and I was wondering if I should get the HTC Inspire 4G. I have been considering it for a while and my upgrade date is in a few months and I was wondering, is this a great phone?

In my opinion yes the Inspire is a great phone but if you still have to wait a few months; HTC has some new stuff coming down the pipe Dual core, 4.5" screens, Ect... Although by the time you upgrade the Inspire will more than likely be free while your other options will not. As for what AT&T has out there right now I would still pick the Inspire. Even if they would have not screwed up my change from Alltel and gave them to me for free to keep me happy.

I had the Aria and now have the Inspire. The difference in size and weight took some gettting used to, but the Inspire is a great phone with a much better selection of ROMs. I have no regrets whatsoever.

I agree with tmcfarland. I came from an aria and I love it. Plus there have been no problems getting used to it other then the size difference. Just be sure if you root to read everything through it is a little more involved than the aria but still very doable.

This is the best phone eva! Now seriously it is a pretty beastly phone, speeds are great, screen quality is great, data speeds are the best your going to get until LTE and the build quality is amazing along with DEV support. Thats all you need to know

my favorite phone so far! although my second best is the blackjack 2 so this is really in a different world.
camera is amazing too...
like its been said waiting will offer a newer htc phone but its prolly gonna cost you where as this inspire might be a free phone when your due

Thanks guys, I went to an At&t store in my area to check the phone out, it seems pretty cool. And does anyone suggest a specific ROM, I have been looking at some extremely great ones.

I'm going against the grain here and not recommend this phone. I'm on my third phone. Im not hard on them at all. The speakerphone and freezing problems is why I returned the first one. The second one the screen totally went out. Both were stock. My current version is rooted and custom and so far no problems. It does drop calls but that may just be the service although never had q problem with my previous device. The battery is puny and you will need a charger with you at all times. I give the phone a 6 out of 10.

Hey, I'm almost always around a charger and my battery on my Aria isn't so great either, so do you see me complaining?

When will you have the phone? For now I would recommend trying something like miui, very much like iPhone and completely different from the other inspire roms.
Definitely try gingerbeast, super fast.

Wait. I have the aria and 2 inspires and would tell you to wait. The phone has issues, but I will say I still love it. Looks like the sensation is coming to ATT and lord willing maybe the sgs2 . If you think battery life on the aria is bad your really in for a bad surprise with the inspire. They have the same size battery.
Performance wise the inspire is rock solid, on par with the dual core beasts. I can run the tegra and gameloft games without a hitch. But the cell signal, WiFi, and definetly Bluetooth performance is sub par. It is a phone afterall. The speaker is bad, unusable for videos without the volume apk. I honestly think the metal body is what hinders the radio. Most have issues with the screen, my two included. Hell a case can kill Bluetooth as can your Hand covering the side.
Not trying to poop all over our beloved gadget, just telling it like it is. Go into any if the forum here and ask the opinion of that phone. I promise you it will be 90% positive, except the atrix. Lol

Help with sprint upgrade what to choose?

I currently have a trusty hero on sprint I'm looking to upgrade soon but idk what I want I do not want a Samsung phone because of past experience so is thr a phone coming up I should wait for or should I just grab the evolution 3d for 99.99?

Get the Motorola Photon 4G, trust me you will not be disappointed.
I initially really wanted the Galaxy SII since at the time I had an evo 4G and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and loved them. I was also following the rumors of the next google nexus (codename Nexus Prime at the time) possibly coming to sprint in in Q4 and then I really really wanted that but my evo had finally given out. I wanted a new phone so I went to sprint planning to get the galaxy s2 but wasn't do for another month or two. I was going to grab an evo 3d as a place holder till the galaxy came out but, they were out of stock or not do for another week too and saw the Photon. I decided to get it as sort of a place holder till the Evo3d was available then after a month with that the galaxy would've come out and I would have been able to exchange it within the 30 day window . I've never been a motorola fan whatsoever (was strictly HTC kind of guy and liking samsung cause of the tab) and was actually kind of bummed that I had to walk out with a Motorola phone. After having it for about a week I had completely fallen in love with it, so much so that I didn't even want an evo 3d, when the Galaxy SII came out I was like fk that'll be a downgrade from the photon and couldn't find any reason what so ever to switch phones. When the Galaxy Nexus initially came out, (even though I know it's not on sprint) I also couldn't find a good enough reason to want to upgrade when It does get released on sprint.
I absolutely love my Photon and can see myself actually holding onto this for the next 2 years which I've never even considered with past phones. It's got Great consistent signal, the longest battery life of ANY smartphone I've owned and haven had a single problem with it. Even on the stock rom, I didn't have the need to flash custom roms just to get it to work correctly or get better battery life or to make it faster, it was just all that straight out of the box. I only rooted Initially to use a few root apps that I always use. I recently started flashing custom roms but only because I WANTED to, not because I NEEDED TO.
Just take a look at the the other phones forums and then the photon section and you'll see barely any complaints or bytching about the photon we all just love it. You will not be disappointed, I promise you that.

I honestly don't plan on upgrading any time soon, unless maybe the Photon 2 is released and even then, It would be an upgrade because I would want to, not because I would have to. I love my MoPho

Considering the spec sheet shows HSPA+ bands, it could very well be a T Mobile phone, also considering the other 3 major US carriers are in the process of or already have rolled out LTE networks.

I was hoping that something comparable would come to sprint after MWC

Go with the Galaxy SII.

And I am super happy with my GSII.

Just checking to see if anyone is selling there Sensation or any other phone to get the GSIII, or just might be buying one and keeping there old phone? I know I been thinking about getting one lately since mobile network is so slow and sometimes I have no signal either . Other than that, I love my Sensation just tired of the hassel with the signal sometimes. Don't know if Im selling my phone or not but I might get one from T-mobile on release date I guess (June 21,2012), haven't heard about the price yet only specs.

Nope i think my sensation will do until the end of my contract which is in february 2013 ... And then ill see the phones available at that time...

Anyways, I'm not selling my Sensation, I'll just do an upgrade on one of my lines.

Not buying til there's significant battery improvements

Not worth to change.

Keeping my Sensation... Not a big fan of Samsung!

Agree with some points - until there is not much improvement in battery life, I'll keep it.

Not just Yet
The Sammy is better phone than the Sensation, but it's not worth an upgrade, maybe if we got the quad core version. besides the HD screen, I'd be interested to see if anyone could name something the Sammy can do that the Sensation can't.

Just checking to see if anyone is selling there Sensation or any other phone to get the GSIII, or just might be buying one and keeping there old phone? I know I been thinking about getting one lately since mobile network is so slow and sometimes I have no signal either .

I'm not selling my Sensation, still happy with it and haven't started flashing it yet...waiting for a serious problem/delay/crash to start looking into better custom rom.

I love trying new phones an all, but will probably wait a little after release date. Wonder, will it be a major difference in performance compared to the dual version and the quad?

NOPE, keeping my sensation until it's paid off then seeing what Android is available at that time. I'm on payment plan so at least a year. Then I'll look into what's new at that time. I'm really happy with my sensation! Especially due to xda and custom Roms, operating system upgrades, and wonderful forum support! Why ruin a good thing?

I'm waiting on a Motorola nexus quad core. Til then will do!

Even though Google did buy Motorola I doubt that they will be making the hardware for it.
Google already said that they don't want to directly get into the hardware business.
Mainly they just wanted Motorola for their collection of patents.
Either way, (sadly phones are a expensive habbit for me lol), have a sensation, amaze, and one s. Due to the signal fluctuations and problems I have had with that phone I will be selling the one s and getting the GSIII. I will still probably keep the amaze and sensaiton. Mainly the sensation because I have alot of accessories and protection for it for when working on my cars and stuff which I haven't got for the Amaze which just has been a "good" not for work backup. Plus I flash the sensation too much to get rid of that phone.

They have a bunch of kick ass Verizon droid phones. It's only matter of time until they release a Motorola nexus, which at that point might be quad core. Companies tend to change their mind sooner or later! I had the amaze and in my opinion I enjoy the sensation more.

It's very possible, there are going to be 5 Nexus devices this year from different manufacturers

I would like to have a quad core handset. One X would have been my preferred choice (love sense) but I need a unit with a removable batt.
SGS3 is one option or maybe the new Huawei Ascend D Quad (http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_d_quad-4568.php) which is due to surface next month.
I have a feeling Huawei will soon become a major player. They are already a giant company in networking etc.

Nah I'm not a fan of quadcores full stop. My contract expires may next year and so I'm going to compare the octacore beasts there are roaming the jungle at the time. Probably a HTC but we never know maybe a s4 ( I say extremely hopefully ).
