I love this phone

I just came from the Atrix. I thought that I would be OK running the atrix without mods(locked bootloader), but i think i went through with-drawls from CM. Motorola blows goats with their locked blootloaders. Ther stock price is down 10%
Design Gears bricked his phone, that was the final straw. I will never by a Motorola phone again

Loving it too!
Coming from Leo I have found it very similar just with more mpx and RAM/ROM
Bye physical buttons as well.
So far so good (2 days with it)

some testings have showed that browsing speed of Atrix is not faster than Inspire. Proud to own an Inspire.

I agree, it is a great phone. Had it for a week now, it was a nice upgrade from my HTC Aria.

Love this phone too. Coming from 4 years of every iPhone - finally got bored and made the jump.
At first it was like a really bad break up - thought about the iPhone 4 every single day, missed it when I would hold or caress another phone, and wanted many of the features/memories back. Now after about two months, rooting, flashing to MIUI (following weekly builds), cattleprod's Cyan04.7 Kernel, and other tweaks and mods, I'm wholeheartedly fulfilled and more ways then before. Can't imagine going back to that terrible world I was in before.
Don't get me wrong, I have an iPad 2 and wouldn't give that up for the world (or any other Android tablet) though. Apples vs oranges though.

Upgraded from a cheap quick messaging phone

Great!

Came from Iphone 4 and I'll never go back. Been with apple for past few years with 3g, 3gs, 4 and never again. The customization of Android makes it all worth the transition 100 times over.
So yes needless to say I love my Inspire 4g! In fact trying to talk buddy of mine into buying one instead of the Infuse. I prefer HTC.

The infuse has about 1/2 the RAM and only 200 MHz more CPU (easily in the stable OC range)
Also, the only bad thing about moving from the iPhone was the apps I had bought. It was SO easy to sync my contacts to Gmail.

I love his phone also. After rooting, custom Roms etc... this phone is even better. I switched from being and Iphone user and will not go back. I am waiting to get my wife one for her upgrade so she can get rid of the Iphone also.

Count me in on the Inspire love. I've had mine for a couple months now and find it still to be an exceptional smartphone. I haven't rooted mine but I do use custom launchers. Currently using GO Launcher EX with the GoContacts/GoDialer and continue to be amazed by this Inspire.
I can't take screenshots on my Inspire but this is exactly what it looks like from these screenshots of my HD2. The only difference is the taskbar.

Somebody talk me into keeping this phone, I'm starting to get bored with it.

Hey guys. I love my Inspire, but like always, it's starting to get a little old to me and I'm getting the itch for something different. I've flashed everything from CM7 to the new Sense 3.0 port... but it's starting to get "same-ole, same-ole". Someone offer a fellow Inspire owner some words of wisdom on why this device is worth holding on to, because quite frankly I "want" to keep it.

Get a Captivate, find out how bad the OS system is, and switch back to the Inspire...
HTC and Apple phones are the best for ATT IMO out of the box...

Or you could go buy a basic go phone with no internet access. Very quickly you will realize that your android isn't as boring as you thought.

Funny you should mention the keyboard... after 6 months, it was the only part of my former crapflip that didn't turn to ****.
The aluminum body on the Inspire is so much more robust than most of the dainty plastic phones it competes with.
IMO, HTC is at the top of their game. Every major US carrier has at least one great HTC.
Quality always bests quantity in my book, though HTC has managed equal parts of both in spades.

This is the honest answer. Once you get used to a phone OS and are able to work your way around pretty much all aspects of it, it becomes boring.
The only options are to either stick with it (maybe due to there not being a better OS in your opinion, maybe due to the app market, maybe due to some kind of hope that something revolutionary will come along that can be done on your device, etc.) or to go try a new OS (Windows Phone VII and iOS still exist)

Dude the reason its so boring is cuz your not utilizing the options. Like me. If I'm at work ill pop on YouTube or a movie and Watch it to speed up the time being or even Pandora. Then on lunch breaks,ill pull out modern warfare and kill some online ass. Then when I go to my classes at 9pm,pull out quickoffice and take notes the easy way. Then email them to myself and start all over. Yell the Andy calculators help Me in my college algebra 2 class. Facebook,flash player,mp3 player,graphical calculators(which run like $100+ from TI) POINT IS....Android rules it all. If u get bored,go onto ustream and stream something live and enjoy it. Ufc or something. IPhone sucks imo,owned that trashed that. And with HTC,updates will be here in no time. Like they said SGS will keep u busy fixing it,rather than enjoying. Reason I posted this is to give example of how to enjoy ur phone,for more than mere entertainment.

+1 guys, thank's for some great (and some not-so-great, haha) responses. I know that if I hop over to another WP 7 or iOS device i will realize why I liked Android so much in the first place, just because of what it can do that they cannot.
I am on the same page, as I believe Android is the dominant mobile OS. I think it's like being married...eh.. and there is that blonde co-ed down the hall. Yeah, it could be nice, but you will always go back to the wife you married... well, maybe.
I suppose I'm just looking over at the other side of the fence, and even though I like what I see, I know when I get over there, I will more than likely want to come back.

Well like I said bud just do other things ya know? The thunderbolt,inspire,even the optimus G2X, all are the same. Just with different UI's. And of course ffc or higher LTE and 4g speeds.

Trying out SG S 4G

Hello guys, I am trying out a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. In your opinion, is this phone worth it? Is there a good selection of custom ROMs for it?

The phone is in itself not too bad for when it was made. It compares well to some of the newer phones. Performance wise I feel it is better than my sensation. However the dev support is very limited. They are great devs that deliver outstanding work but there are only about four devs and a handful of roms. In my opinion if you can hold out for a more current or more popular phone go that route. But if you go with the sgs4g you shouldn't be dissatisfied.

Really? U would choose a sensation over this phone? My sensation kicked the **** outta this phone. You need to root ur sensation so you can really feel the power of the DUAL-CORE processore... I can point you to a damn good rom if you'd like. I guarantee you wont say this one is better.
Back to the question, its really according to your budget, but personally, this is how I would put the tmo phones n order, 1.sgs2-2.sensation-3.amaze-4.mt4g(HTC)-5.sgs4g.

Should I get the Atrix 2?

Based on feature set, availability and price my reasearch has led me to this phone with the RAZR as a second choice(pentile screen, waker battery, no FM). The RAZR has better development though(incl kexec). I'm hoping to run ICS as a daily driver in the very near future and JB/CM10 down the line. What do you think?

Price-wise it's the best phone you can get. I myself owned a HTC magic and then a nexus one and can confirm that the build quality is solid. Webtop is also a great feature.
Rom-wise we've stock/modded ICS and soon ported CM10. But don't expect to unlock the bootloader. If you can live with it, buy it
Sent from my MB865 using xda app-developers app

Keep in mind, this is one persons opinion, but personally, I love this phone. We have 2 ICS Leaks, and CM10 is right around the corner.
It's mainly your preference, but i'd say just to be sure you want this phone, read all that you can from this forum.

Bootmenu is great man. With it, you can essentially dual boot so to speak. Check the thread out, it tells you ALMOST everything you need to know. Something's you can read around the forums and find answers to. I've become pretty familiar with it, so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me.
Also others are here to help too

Thread Move in progress.
Oh, BTW, threw a couple thanks to you 2 for great advice to the new people. Way to go!

If you can live with a locked bootloader I don't see why not, the specs are decent, screen size is pretty good and overall quality is nice. We have ICS (leak), a few custom roms, and CM10 is being worked on (I believe camera isn't working just yet). Mine is currently softbricked because I got into a bootloop and my battery is low , but that's easy to fix once I can charge the battery, which I'm being patient with and not doing anything risky and potentially harmful to the battery or phone. In conclusion, if the price is right, it's a pretty decent phone, with a locked bootloader (Always a catch)

Hmm. How about making a bounty or making a collection for a donor device to a dev? Just thinking out loud...
The only feature I'm missing that a custom kernel might solve is 2-way call recording. I think...

You won't be disappointed. This is only the second phone I've owned in 16 years that I haven't wanted to destroy after a couple months of use.
Is the lack of support from Motorola annoying? Sure, but the amount of support from the developers and everyone in this community is all you will need. Whether you stay on Gingerbread or upgrade to the ICS leak, there are plenty of amazing ROMS and mods to play with.
Just make sure you read through the forums (especially the stickies) and familiarize yourself with phone and the community.

I've been really happy with mine as well. To be honest this is the longest I have ever owned a modern smartphone. My previous phones would last 6-8 months before I got bored.
As much as I want the One... I honestly wouldn't mind skipping a generation and hanging onto this until it dies.
With s off and development getting even better the one xl is pretty fun.
With my setup the battery life is very much improved! JB Sense roms rock.
I am thinking of changing the housing to the one x+ housing since mine is getting beat up. It's going to feel like a brand new phone
