Well I just realized that it's time for me to upgrade the phone. Will likely give this one to the gf who's moving over to AT&T. So if there's one phone on AT&T I should upgrade to which one would you guys and gals suggest?

I was considering it, but does it make sense to get it if I already have an 7-inch HTC Flyer?
Sent from GrandAdmiral's phone using Tapatalk.
Personally, see no reason you should spend your upgrade at this time.
Ask yourself;
Is the phone still running Android? Or is the upgrade to android better then you have now?
Is the phone capable of doing anything further than you are capable of doing with it now?
What does upgrading provide you that you currently can not get/do?
If you can answer these questions with a yes and truely you get "upgraded" then using the upgrade is awesome.
But I just looked at the phones availble. You aren't really getting much of an upgrade and you'll likely spend 100+ on it.
I'd wait.
Just my two cents.
Personally I see no reason why you are posting this on the forum. There are other threads like this already and this forum is not even the place for questions like this. Can you not go to ATT.com or your local store and see the few phones available or read one of the other threads just like this.

Because it's a forum (the general at that) and being an Inspire owner, I thought it would be nice to get the opinion of other Inspire owners who might be in a similar position.
Sorry you disapprove. Kindly ignore this thread, or if you're that offended, click the report button.

Yeah no need to be rude.
To expand further on the Gnote though, I'd say it will be an extremely worthwhile upgrade. Screen size alone will make the device seem like a true "upgrade". Check out some video reviews of the device.
Or better yet, here's a good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBhEiiMd3qU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Great battery life (2500 mah)
720p display on a huge screen
S-pen ( which I hear works tons better than the HTC flyer stylus)
Lte
Just a few reasons why the device is so great.

I would love to see if the Edge makes it way to AT&T, but time may not be on my side. Gf wants to move over from Sprint to AT&T no later than March. I really live my Inspire, but I've rather get me a new phone than to give it to an Android rookie.

my thoughts exactly, that phone should be a beast.
I would wait for the Galaxy S III.
See 2 problems with the One X. First, no micro sd slot. Better plan on limiting what you put on the phone. Second, battery is embedded. No way to pull or easily replace it. Bad battery means replacing the phone. Also, how do you deal with a bootloop?
Looks like it's coming out after all.

skyrocket with 4.65" and 1280x720 is much better than skyrocket at 4.5 and 800x480.

there is always ebay to sell your current phone to get back some money!

I don't think a vast majority of people would consider .15 more inches of screen, and a higher resolution on an already excellent screen worth using an upgrade/600 bucks.
Not saying it isn't an improvement, it's just not "fap fap fap - must have" material.
The HD screen will be a PenTile display. (insert vomit smiley)
I left the Atrix because of that crap and I have no desire to go back to it.
Ehh who cares the moment that skyrocket HD gets ics, we ALL have it.

I don't get why anyone who already owns a Skyrocket would bother getting a Skyrocket HD, knowing the SIII is coming? It's like getting a Blackberry 9900 knowing it's a dead end, with BB10 devices coming.

true.. But im sure tired of getting a nice device only to have it replaced 6 months later with a shiny newer version.
not to mention having to wait a year later after said device is released just for an update, lol
but i agree the skyrocket still is an awesome phone. but alas that hd screen sure is nice,, after using my int galaxy note. though its hard to come back to such a small screen lol 4.5 inches is like looking and an ip4 now. after using a note.
Hahaha, you guys are outta control with having to get new devices all the time. I keep my phones for 2 or 3 years before I replace them. I'm very happy with the skyrocket and as long as it doesn't explode or fall into a puddle I'll be keeping it for years just like my other phones.
Dammit, whens this thing coming out?!?! I needs it!!! Any new info.? Anyone herd anything recently?

I guess no one cares about it. I don't because I don't get new devices every few months so I don't care much about this type of stuff.

It's my opinion on the matter, compared to sammy
I've had 2 htc phones prior to getting my skyrocket. Things to note about htc:
Build quality = 7-8
Design = 8+
quality of materials = 9
Overall experience = 8
That being said... The one x looks and seems to be a great phone. Super fast, nice screen, great design, and cutting edge specs. The camera is supposed to be very nice, but htc doesn't use the known amoled display. Colors may be less vibrant but at 1280 x 720, you may not even notice. Would I ditch the skyrocket for one.... Maybe if I get to hold the phone and am impressed by it. Truth be told, you should stick with what you got and possibly get the next gen handset when it becomes available. One thing to note.... HTC usually give timely updates where they see fit. As where Samsung (in my experience) take their sweet time. All of this has been based on my own experiences and personal opinions.

HTC do make great phones, but Samsung's phones are overall better made for the android consumer imo. Samsung doesn't waste time with bs aspects such as 3d (which no one ever used anyway). Before the one series, they were all clunky, heavy, and had a hard time lasting 8 hours on a single charge. Don't get me wrong, i've owned both htc and samsung devices, but I just think Samsung has it together, atleast more than HTC right now.
One X
I would wait, the one x and the s3 are just gonna be warm up phones for what's coming for holiday season. You will have serious buyers remorse at that time.

Personally, I'm hoping against hope that the skyrocket HD is released next weekend as well since Spirit is getting its G-Nexus.
I like the specs on the One X, and would consider getting it, BUT what the f*ck is up with only 16 GB and no micro SD support?!?! Really??? Only 16GB!! Such a deal breaker. Hell I have almost 8gb of music & after a nandroid backup or two, there ain't nothing left.
Sure, SGS III is a no brainer, but I'm not waiting another 6 months for it to make its way to US carriers... which you know it will, even if it does get release world wide this summer.
Come on AT&T, give me a f*cking release date on the skyrocket HD already!!!

Hello,
Which one I should buy? and why? I can't decide,
HTC Evo 3D http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_3d-3901.php
HTC MyTouch 4G Slide http://www.gsmarena.com/t_mobile_mytouch_4g_slide-4018.php
Samsung Galaxy Nexus http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus-4219.php
Guys please, 107 views and not even one answer, or vote
Any one? please
In order of what I would choose:
Galaxy Nexus, Evo 3D, MyTouch 4G Slide.
What do you want?
If you NEED a physical keyboard, go with the Slide. Other than that, easily the GNex - 3d on a phone is more of a gimmick than anything else.
Thank you so much Mephikun, for your replay my friend
Why do you think the nexus better than other devices?

Thank you so much for your replay, and yes I was kinda thinking the same about the Evo 3D, I mean even the display resolution not that much comparing it with GNex, I really love the physical keyboard but in the same time GNex kinda got better specifications than mytouch 4g slide
Personally I like the Galaxy Nexus, as it will be first for the JellyBean update.

Well if cost is a factor for you, the HTC EVO 3D is available used for pretty cheap, then you dont have to resign any contracts and can wait it out to see if something better come along in the next few months, then upgrade to that and sell the 3D.
Check out cowboom for the 3D used.

After almost two years with my Inspire, I'm very sad to have lost it, up til the end on jellytime was awesome and it was a new era.
Now I need to get a new phone, and the market seems overwhelming. I saw the developer RandomBlame from Jellytime being pretty happy with the nexus 4, but I'm not so sure I can live without a SD card slot.
I'm interested in reading about experiences from other people who for one reason or another have migrated from an Inspire/DHD to something else.
You guys who used to love you're Inspire/DHD, what phone made you equally or more happy? What phone do you regret going for thinking it would compensate for the ACE you had?
Happy New Year, D.

HTC Inspire to HTC One X. Many friends of mine did this transition and are very happy with their switch!
I dont know if you can wait for a while and how you feel about BB, but the Z10 has amazing specs. I currently use the Inspire 4g and will give BB a look when its come out. Thats if it comes to ATT, which I think it would.

That sucks that you lost it. When looking I had my list narrowed down to three phones: HTC One X, Samsung Note 2, and Samsung Galaxy SIII. All three have good specs but it is up to you what you prefer more. I decided the Note series was just too big. I would have to use two hands to operate it and figured if I was going to do that I would buy a tablet first. Loved the HTC but the killer for me was the lack of SD card expansion and the lack of changing out the battery. Ultimately the S3 was my final choice. Love it so far. Had it rooted by the second day and have been cruising along with it for over a month now.
I'm hearing that there will be an SGS4 coming in April 2013.

I love my inspire as well, however even using the cyanogrnmod 10.1 unofficial sporting android 4.2.1 isn't enough to compensate for poor battery performance. I have had the phone around a year. I think I am sold on getting the Galaxy Note 2. With its huge battery and juggernaut hardware specs I could get two or three years use out of it. Not to mention it has an SD card slot which I too love.

Agreed battery is garbage. I'm not quite sold on the note 2. More sold on og note. Mainly cause I don't think my wife would be happy if I blew 600 bucks on a phone. Also I really like not being in a contract we have been contract free for about a year.
