My wife is looking for a smartphone, it will really be her first and while i love my inspire and she seems to enjoy it im wondering if waiting a few months to wait for the LG Thrill or a newer HTC product.
I think the size of the device might be an issue, i would want to put a case on it cause shes kinda tough on electronics, however if u had a nice case to the Inspire i could see her complaining about the size.
What would you recommend?
Since she is tough on electronics, I would recommended ordering a Case-Mate Tough Case or an Otterbox. I have a Tough Case on my Inspire, and it has fallen 3 times since I've had it. The biggest fall it had, I was walking out of Wally-World and was taking it out of my pocket, it slipped and fell on the ground. Since it was in the Tough Case at the time, it didn't make any marks on it or crack the screen, as it did hit on the side a couple times. I paid 32 dollars with free shipping since I ordered it from the ATT Online store. Well worth the price I paid. From what I've read, an Otterbox would be just as effective protecting it from that fall. It however, is over 40 dollars from Otterbox. I would also recommend buying the Smartphone Experts Screen Protectors from the Android Central Store. The protectors are custom cut for our screen, while maintaining the screens clarity, and it is easy to slide your fingers on the screen after installing. Those are just my recommendations for her if you get her an Inspire. My wife won't stop taking my phone to play my Angry Birds. Lmao
EDIT: The LG Thrill is just as big as the Inspire, and a newer HTC phone won't appear on ATT for another couple months. Just depends on whether you, or her, are big on 3D mostly. I say stick with an Inspire until we have at least official confirmation of the Holiday. Which should be anytime in the next couple of months, as it is a rumored LTE launch device, and they are looking to get LTE going later this summer. Not to mention, we should be getting our official gingerbread update later this summer as well. Hope she enjoys whatever phone you decide to get, or give, her.

^Of course it wont, its hard as well, but is it reallly absorbing the shock?not as much....
The Inspire is definitely the best phone AT&T has currently. I paid the in store price for screen protectors, and they are pretty nice. They give the screen a matte look, but still allow nice tactile response, and it comes in a 2 pack (pro-tip: the matte piece is the screen protector, not the clear piece). I got a nice silicon skin for it off ebay for $3 shipped, from a US seller even. The silicon skin does add considerable bulk, and makes it more difficult to get in and especially out of a belt holster, but it allowed my phone to survive a fall from chest level (upper chest, and I'm 5'11") to concrete on the corner pf the phone with only a slight nick to the aluminum (it hit _HARD_).
If this is going to be your wifes first smartphone you can not go wrong with the Inspire. There are so many deals on it its sick. Anywhere from free to $40, or $99 at an AT&T retail store.
My wife loves hers with everything stock.
From one husband to another unless your wife asks for it or is computer savy and can put up with bugs. DO NOT ROOT HER PHONE!

I'd be willing to give Best Buy an extra $20 if they promised to keep that horrid Lady Gaga CD.
The Shack has the Inspire in red, if she's into that. Mine regular Inspire is making everyone at work jealous. Even the iPhonies.
AFAIK, Inspires are free at Amazon Wireless (well, 1 cent, what have you) if you're etiher adding an account/getting a family line.
i was tryibng to find a cheap battery cover for the HTC evo 4g
I think best buy has some.
Hey guys i have a mytouch 4g slide and would like to know if anyone would consider a trade the only thing wrong with the slide is that the screen is raised a little so you can see a slit between the kb and screen i have 3 cases to this device and 2 screen protectors i want a sensation 4g with at least one case and in good condition.....i mean my device isnt in the best condition but this bundle is good but yea the sensation has to have little to no scratches on the screen and no scratches on the hardware what so ever.
Why is your screen raised? What did you do to your phone? Lol. Anyways, I would recommend sensation forums, and craigslist...

I am getting an EVO Shift 4G, but I want to know if I can purchase a EVO 4G case and it will fit PERFECTLY (Like made for the phone) on the Shift 4G? Is there any difference in sizes between them.
Thanks a million advanced

I had an Otter box for my shift last year. While Otter Boxes are great, the one for the Shift has 2 main parts that clip on to the phone rather weakly. I dropped the phone at one point and broke one of the little clips that hold the screen protector on and it was useless after that. I wouldn't buy another one. Unless it was super cheap any way.

Yeah just about every case out there is a two peice because the slide out keyboard its hard to find a good one that actually works. I've triied them all and my last resort was the otterbox, well worth my 30 dollars.

the price is too expensive, and i don't know the quality for this price, last year i was cheated by a Chinese store on Amazon. i never buy products from this Chinese store .
You don't know the Quality of an OtterBox Product? It says shipped from, and sold by Amazon.com . As for the price that's up to the individual. Speaking for myself I find it reasonable for what your getting.
I've bought cheap Chinese cases from Amazon resellers, and the front piece constantly breaks. I've broken 3 or 4 so far, so you may be better off getting the Otterbox. They always feel huge to me though.

I've had nothing but luck with OtterBox Product. I've had them on my OG EVO 4G, and the Shift. Both times I've destroyed at least one. Called them up, and they sent me a replacement no questions asked.
It looks like Otterbox does not have a belt holster for the FVO Shift.
I have currently adapted the Seido holster from my old Samsung Epic 4G. but the phone does not fit very well. Not too bad for "free", though.
Another option is to buy the Case & Holster directly from Sprint. Store by me had them marked down 50% off. Ended up being like $20 for the Case & Holster Combo.
I just bought a htc inspire 4g with a cracked digitizer from ebay for 76$
the thing is,I live in Romania,and we don't have inspire 4g here so I can't find a replacement for the screen
but I can find digitizers for the Desire HD around 25$
but would the digitizer be compatible 100%?
i need to be sure
thanks
Most likely not. If you were able to find the inspire on eBay there is no reason why you can't find the digitizer for it there as well.

that's why I asked this
cause some of the items names were like htc desire " hd/inspire 4g difitizer "
someone who knows for sure pelase answer
I recently purchased a digitizer for my inspire from ebay(I live in America, not sure if there is any difference in Ebays). It said desire HD/Inspire 4g (same phones built for different markets). Unfortunately when I got it the connector wire was cut too short, so make sure you read user reviews better than I did. I ended up buying both the screen and the digitizer together after that since in my frustration I broke my old LCD screen.
If you do end up switching out the screen be careful it is easy to mess up and keep the screws separated from each other because they aren't interchangeable.
I'd like to know the answer to this as well. I just bought and replaced the lcd/digi for my phone. Went to start it up and the digitizer wouldn't recognize my finger. Thank god for androidscreencast or I would have been screwed until the new phone showed up. (Ended up just buying a new Inspire)
Anyways, it would be nice to know if they sent me a faulty unit or if the digitizer isn't compatible.
graresf.... if you do go forth on this swap out, be careful. It really is easy to mess things up on this phone. Horror stories are all over the comments of videos on youtube that show how to do it.
Oh... and when it shows you separating the frame from the screen. Be careful not to mess that plastic trim peice up that is attached to the frame. I did and now you can see a silver rim around the edge of the screen and things dont mesh up quite as nicely as they used to...
same thing
The inspire4g is just a variant of the htc desire series! now the desire HD and the inspire4g are the same phone (hd)europe (4g)america. i just replaced my digitizer via eBay and yes the sellers item description said "Htc desireHd,Inspire4g digitizer replacement. but you also need the adhesive and don't forget about the light tubes on the old digitizer or your utility buttons on the bottom will NOT glow. good luck.. have patience!
