My Review on Inspire 4G (still have it :P)

GhostPerk77 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

Hello people and this is my quick review on the astonishing and well done work of the phone Inspire 4G. To start off, lets go with the CONS. Battery, somehow sucks. So i suggest to NOT leave it with FULL brightness all day. Second, don't use it all day, like any smart phone, it overheats and thats not good for your phone. So if you like talk alot by the phone, get a Mic that you can plug in and talk, holding the phone with your left shoulder its not a good option while cooking in the kitchen. IT'S A SMARTPHONE for god f****** sakes. (That one is for the smart asses). Third, if your its rooted, and you want to Screen Record, it's not a good option becuase recording in HQ with that app will result lagginess.(only me or you guys too?) Finally, ROOTING IT ITS NOT A PROBLEM, what comes after is. That would be that your phone might have Audio problems. So, its up to you to fix it and do whatever you wan't to do with it.(Yes,there is way's to fix it :P) Now with the PROS. Every single thing i haven't say that it's about this phone, it's A BRILLIANT artwork from Da Vinci like the Mona Lisa. God damn what a phone !!! Simple for us, just like us :)

Must Have Phone..

JohnFredy has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

I have it for two weeks and has been excellent.

Everything described in the description of the phone is what I saw. An excellent phone, from applications to the release has been wonderful.I can do more with this phone than with a iPhone. This phone does it all - almost. a great screen large enough to show movies with great definition. the camera and video camera both are great. The programs and applications offered are just amazing. The programs and responsiveness are good. You don't have to wait forever for applications to load up. I recommend it.

I purchased it on Amazon : http://bit.ly/HTCInspire4G.

My best phone so far

Poorboymz3 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

Im rooted, and use a lot of hardware intensive roms so it can get laggy, but other then that its a great phone in every repect. Coming from a G1, when it first came out. Then I had a My touch3g slide, my last pone was a G2. I love HTC, all great phones, but this one outshines them all by miles, espeically the camera.

I really hate this phone :(

candykillz has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

Not sure if its just my inspire, but Ive had more problems with this phone then Ive ever had with any other phone. It freezes constantly where I have to take the battery out. I also get dead spots on the phone all the time, especially during texting. Apps run really slow and UI is laggy. The screen is really nice thouh and I love the look of it, its just missing the reliability I had with my iphone 4.

HTC Inspire (not) 4G

metalmilizia has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

To start, when I got the phone in May 2011 they told me that when 4G LTE was available, the phone would connect. This is not the case, the phone runs a HSPA+ radio and is now marketed as HTC Inspire 4G*. 4G is available in my area seeing as how my fiancees Atrix 2 4G connects to it.
The phone itself, when left stock, is a ok phone. The sense interface is bad. Battery life while all the stock apps are running in the background is poor. Task managers do not seem to help. I would not purchase again.
Since I rooted the phone and flashed a custom rom, the phone and been great. I flashed an ICS rom and my battery life has greatly improved and so did the reception. Rooting will void your warranty PERFORM AT OWN RISK!!!

Build quality 8/10 Solid Phone

Reception 6/10 Stock is iffy

Call quality 9/10 Excellent

Internet 4/10 WiFi radio seems poor

My Inspire is my baby.

elzzabeth has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I've had the inspire 4G for maybe... 7 to 10 months. I currently am on my second Inspire as my first one suffered a huge screen crack, and then was eventually dropped into a toilet (there's turning 21 for you). However, I've become addicted to my smartphone. I am a huge fan of HTC's products because of this phone. They simply make a good reliable phone. I won't lie, I first got this phone and it was kind of awkward. I mean, the huge screen you need to get used to, the camera lens that sticks out of the back (which i'd recommend getting a nice silicone cover, that thing is bound to get scratched up otherwise). But all in all I'm way too happy with this phone to complain. I'm gonna keep talking nice about HTC so long as this phone is still my baby, which at this rate it looks like it's gonna be for quite some time.

Build quality 10/10 I pretty much NEVER have mechanical problems with my Inspire.

Reception 9/10

Call quality 9/10

Internet 9/10 AT&T's 4G is spotty in my area, and usually I'm only getting their 3G speeds, but the phone processes quickly enough for me to surf the web easily. Only way I could love surfing on this phone more is if I could nab Verizon 4G speeds, but c'mon.

Multimedia 10/10

Camera 10/10 The 8mp camera on this phone is amazing! On the display, just about any picture I take has amazing quality. Also, love how easily I can take a picture and upload it to facebook literally in 3 quick taps.

UI speed 9/10 The 1GHz processor is insane on this phone. On rare occasion I can notice it getting a little sketchy, but I've never had problems with the phone freezing up.

Everyday usage 10/10 This phone is literally always on me. I use it for everything.

Text input 8/10 Thank God for the amazing auto-correct for the spelling on this thing, because it's really easy to put in the wrong words on this thing. Considering it's all touch screen, though, it flows really nicely.

Display 10/10 4.3... that's all that needs to be said. This phone is a beast.

Battery 9/10 Can easily make this last me a whole day.

Pros

• the 4.3" display
• fast processor
• awesome camera
• easy to do anything

Cons

• fun trying to type a long text

My First HTC Android Smartphone! =)

yt6nin has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

It has been 5+ months owning this phone, but I totally love this phone ever since upgrading. When I got this red smartphone, it was quite cheap, ($30 @ Radio Shack), and I managed to get it. I love the Sense UI, but now Sense 3.5 is what I dearly want. I have read reviews and heard stories of how bad some aspects of this phone are, such as, mentioned by other owners, that the battery life is quite short (HTC Android's tend to not last as long as we want them too...) and especially the battery cover problem. The guy at Radio Shack selling me the phone along with another employee who owned one had so much trouble just popping open the battery cover. Indeed, it is quite troublesome, and not thought out well, but with some practice, one can get the task done. I love the red, aluminum body design, and the large 4.3" screen, but the glare from sunlight is a problem for me. My friend has a Samsung smartphone and he easily was able to proceed on with his tasks on his phone under direct sunlight while I was either trying to find shade and continue with my tasks or squint my eyes to see what I was staring at. Reception, call quality, typing (texting inclusive), camera/camcorder use, were great in my opinion, with a few things to complain about in each category, but they may be variable, and may be minor to the other things to point out.

Reception, call quality, typing (texting inclusive), camera/camcorder use, were great in my opinion, with a few things to complain about in each category, but they may be variable, and may be minor to the other things to point out. For Internet, I absolutely despised the stock browser, since it was both slow and way to minimalistic, skipping out on a few major features to have on a browser, like the EXIT feature, and closed-history browsing to name a few. I immediately went to the market for a replacement for web-browsing and found Dolphin Browser HD, which is in my opinion, the best browser in the market. Not only does it have both the features I wanted, mentioned above, but also, it has the tabs to view when browsing. Music player on the phone is quite nice, but I personally prefer PowerAmp in the market. For me, using either or results in trade-off, but oh well, we can't have just about everything or the best of both worlds can we. Just have to settle with what we have and can get. For everyday usage, I can't imagine myself without this phone or any similar smartphone as a matter of fact. This phone has made my life easier, especially on college campus, being able to socially connect with my friends with from my phone, surf the web, and talk simultaneously, check emails without having to be in front of a computer, and going on with multitasking and other things. In general, and in summation, this phone to me was a great entry smartphone into the Android world, making me quite pleased with the options and possibilities on such a sexy looking, bad@$$ smartphone at a really low, great price. I only wish that HTC can work on having smartphones with a more prolonged battery life, and at least have anti-glare with sunlight.

Build quality 10/10 I absolutely love the metal body, especially holding the phone in my hands with a plastic or rubber case. I have yet to drop the phone without a case (I think), and I would not like to in the near future, unless I'm due for an upgrade. The red body color is also nice, something different from black, brown, and white exterior colors, often found in the market.

Reception 10/10 When there are bars, the reception is just wonderful. Right now, living in the dorm on campus, I still get around 2~3 bars max, rarely 4, when in the room, but sometimes I can't seem to receive calls, while other times they come through. Outside on the campus, 5 bars everywhere, and I wish it's just like that within the rooms.

Call quality 10/10 I have been using the headphones with mic ever since having this phone, that I can't really comment on call quality without it. From what I recall (those very few times using the phone without the headphones), the call quality was great even inside the dorm room.

Internet 10/10 I absolutely hate the stock browser and it should just die. Instead, I use Dolphin Browser HD, which is absolutely my favorite, must-have apps on the phone. Made the internet experience so much better, filling in those holes made by having used the stock browser, "Internet"... -_-

Multimedia 10/10 I like the stock music player, but doesn't have flac compatibility, so I had to install PowerAmp and use that instead (I have some music that happens to be flac...) PowerAmp actually made the music experience on the phone even better, where I can take more control of the music with my headphones. I have the Skullcandy 50/50 headphones and as some people may know, the track control besides play and pause were useless (i.e., previous and next). The volume control capabilities on the headphones are

Camera 9/10 Only negative feedback with the camera is that the images look pix-elated on the screen, before taking, and even so after taking pictures. The ambient light sensor does a great job recognizing the environment I'm in, as from what I experienced, and the pictures overall look nice (despite the pixels, and not-the-clearest pictures). As for the camcorder, they did a great job on this part. I feel like the videos recorded are quite magnificent, despite being 720p. Overall, the user interface for bot

UI speed 10/10 I personally feel that the phone is quite responsive, the sliding of screens from side-to-side is smooth, but still a little choppy, but love the pinch on any launcher screen to display all 7 screens, then be able to rearrange the screens or even select any of them from there. But going back to the question, the UI speed is pretty impressive for what it can do.

Everyday usage 10/10 Being my first Android and HTC smartphone, it makes my everyday task, if not most of my tasks easier to accomplish, having apps for voice control, better web-browsing capabilities than my previous phone, times for gaming, it's indeed a small, computer-like device, satisfying or even spoiling my needs. I can pretty much do a lot of things, that without such a phone, I will feel really behind and left with a huge hole, that only another smartphone will be able to fill.

Text input 10/10 Problems that would be with texting, would be with my fingers, being a little too big even for the landscape typing, often inputting the letter around the one I wanted to press. The screen is large enough to accommodate most fingers, would be more content if my fingers were a little bit smaller, otherwise I would have to awkwardly press the letters. Nothing wrong with the phone.

Display 9/10 only problem with the large 4.3" is the difficulty to view under direct light, or even sunlight, due to glare. That's where Samsung attracts me, to there Super AMOLED displays.

Battery 8/10 The battery on the phone, obviously depending on the amount of use (light, medium, or heavy) can change how often one would need to have it charging, but for me, even under medium use, I would definitely need to charge the phone, at times in the evening, and it will finish charging around midnight, or a little later when I go to sleep. Uses for web-browsing mostly with Wi-Fi (don't have unlimited data plan and I live on campus with a lot of places with Wi-Fi), listening to music and, some textin

Pros

• Large screen
• Responsive
• Fast H+ Speed/Connectivity
• Sense UI
• THE FACT THAT IT'S AN ANDROID
• Multitasking
• Talk&Surf (Yes, this phone can, I did it once and even looked it up for proof, iPhone aren't the only smartphones on AT&T w/such convenience)

Cons

• Battery Life
• No Front-facing camera
• The volume rocker and the power buttons can be sticking out a little bit more...
• Glare under especially under sunlight...
• The Annoying-MUST-PAY-2-USE AT&T Bloatware

Love This Phone! Its serves it's purpose as a smartphone plus more. I have no complaints. The battery life is the only weakness that the phone has. Oh! One more thing....lacks a front facing camera, but that's a VERY minor issue! Everything else is GREAT! I would recommend this phone to buy!

My first smartphone

James J G has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

For the most part this has been a very pleasant experience. My biggest complaint is I have to charge it every night, but I do use it pretty extensively. Other than that there's the whole deal about AT&T blocking 3rd party apps and not letting you uninstall their crap, but it hasn't been bugging me much.

Inspire vs Atrix...Winner is the Inspire

Jeradiah3 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I chose the inspire over the Atrix because of screen size, FM Radio, and everyday use.

Since i have the AT&T 2GB data plan, I know that if i had the Atrix, I would be using the phone alot more which means that I'd go over the limit every month. Plus I wanted the Atrix as a computer replacement, but the labtop dock is over $300 and I can get a regular labtop for that price

The screen was another reason to go with the Inspire because im a big man (6'7" 235lbs) and I need a bigger phone for internet, video and gaming (BIG Angry birds player lol)

Despite the battery, I like what the phone has to offer and i like HTC as a company. They make good phones and they stand behind their product. After installing Swype on my phone and the fact that the FM radio doesnt go against the data plan, its even more versatile than the day i bought it. AT&T has released 3rd party apps which makes this phone as noticeable as its counterparts (EVO 4G and Thunderbolt)

If you are looking for a good 4G smartphone starter phone, the inspire is the way to go

The phone that beat the iphone......

Markem has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

This phone has everything a person who likes to personalize their phone wants. The display is immaculate, and the touch response is superb. But the deal maker for this one is the price. $99.00 for a two year contract from att easily makes this the best bang for your buck from any cell phone carrier. The phone is easy to use for new android users and has yet to disappoint. The battery isn't as bad as people are saying, it just drains if you are on the phone constantly watching media or the internet. Overall a great phone. Thank you HTC

Overall this phone is great. From the display, to the performance it is quite flawless. The call clarity is crystal clear, and the speed of the phone has yet to be matched. But the thing that makes this phone is HTCs user interface, and the display. The screen is big, beautiful and you just can't get enough of it. Overall a great phone.

Awesome Phone!

Billy D. Singh has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I got this to replace my Captivate. I really didn't think it would so easy to transition to a larger screen, (4.3") but now I cannot imagine going back to a 4". The Inspire 4G runs Android 2.2.1, which is Froyo. The software is super snappy and responsive, and runs on HTC's Sense platform, which is loads better than TouchWiz on the Samsung.

I cannot say much about AT&T 4G network, as 4G is really more of a marketing gimmick, but the internet does seem a tad faster and syncing taking slightly less time to do. Yes, the Inspire does come with some AT&T bloatware, but it seems less than the Samsung; HTC also has a ton of apps preloaded, but most are actually useful. For example, HTC has a store of sorts where you can download ringtones and wallpapers; reminds me of the old AT&T Medianet.

The Inspire also has a notification LED next to the speaker grill, which is a nice touch; very Blackberry-esque. The charging port is on the bottom and is unrestricted, so any microUSB cable should work. All in all, this is a great phone and one of the best Android phones on AT&T right now.

Lots of smart, not much phone

in2geo has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

This is a great little computer. When you have to actually make a phone call, this "phone" sucks. Nobody can hear me when I'm talking to them. It's extremely frustrating. The sound volume doesn't seem to have a high enough setting and the speaker sucks on this "phone". I just switched from Verizon and I'm not too thrilled at this point. The rest of my family is on AT&T so I am kinda stuck.

Just Might Make the Cut

KeepItMovin has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

The phone is exceptional. I did have network problems within my first 7 days, but the device and new calling plan may keep me on. The design is very nice, ATT made it their own and it does not look like another carrier's copy cat phone. This may be the smallest footprint of a 4.3 inch display. It's thin and sleek, but durable feeling. The reception has been nice, the internet has been nice, although speeds have not been that of VZW's new 4G.

great phone, bargin price

nyamo has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

its a solid little phone that has pretty good reception in my area. though that may be a network issue more than hardware for my location. the camera is pretty good. somewhat poor in low light, and i don't like how it sticks out so far when laying flat on a surface (but a case does help if you can find one) for the short while i did use sense UI it was quick and snappy with no fc issues. t9 is pretty good at fixing errors and the screen makes it easy to text even if you have spongebob square fingers. display is nice but kills your battery. though easily solved by turning the display settings down.
over all i did like this phone, though it had too many restrictions through ATT. just root and flash and i haven't had a single thing to comlain about since. also the H+ is misleading since i am not even in a HSUPA area

HTC Inspire is an awesome device!!!

JDroid11 has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

This is definitely one of the better android handsets on the At&t network. I upgraded to the Inspire from a Samsung Captivate. I must say that the HTC Inspire outdoes the Captivate in every way possible. The device is extremely fast. The UI is very customizable as all devices running sense usually are. Call quality is excellent on the Inspire. I have not had any issues with dropped calls or anything of that nature. Surprisingly, for a 1200 mAh battery, the device holds a pretty decent charge. I am usually able to go a full day on a single charge, and I am a moderate to heavy user. The build quality is also outstanding. You can definitely tell that this phone is designed well, and made with premium materials. It is also on the heavier side, which I prefer. Overall, this is one of the best devices that I have had the pleasure of owning. If you are looking to upgrade to a new phone, I would keep this one in mind.

HTC Inspire is the best

Sam has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I have had a HTC Inspire and a Motorola Atrix but I sold the Motorola Atrix and kept the HTC Inspire. The HTC Inspire was just better than it is an amazing phone and I love i so much. If you can marry phones I would marry the HTC Inspire. The camera is amazing, the build quality is great, the battery life is good , multimedia is amazing, call quality is spectacular, internet is perfect, display is beautiful, the text input, the UI speed is fast, I get reception in pretty much everywhere I go, it is good for everyday usage, and the 4g is amazing. I dont think there will be a phone better phone than this for a while.

NICE.....VERY NICE

NextMove has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

It's a very very nice phone with a quality build. The battery cover is LOUSY!!! If I'm not mistaken, it seems like it's the smallest footprint of a 4.3 Display, which is nice. THe call quality is extremely good, the UI is polished. The "4G" speeds don't match Tmobile's, but it seems to be more consistent in my area. I will know if a few days if I can live within a 2 GB data limit. I do like to new mobile to any mobile free minutes.

Battery 7/10 It's not bad considering it's "4G" and has a 4.3 inch display, I can roll for about 11 hours on it. I did some downloads and a lot of speed test comparisons. So much for my 2GIG limit for the month, huh?

Pros

• Call Quality
• Audio/Music Quality
• S-LCD Display
• Overall Size for a 4.3" Display

Cons

• Battery Door Cover Design
• Lack of Swype
• Battery Life
• Lack of Full 4G Speeds
• ATT Bloatware

Simply put, this phone works!

SameTodayAsYesterday has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

And it works well! It's fast, doesn't lag, does what I need it to do when I need it done. The newest version of Sense is great! It seems like they've taken a few things from NRGZ28 & Cookie with their Manilla mods from the earlier Sense days, that's a great thing. Now just slime down the main clock and we're GOLDEN! Although I miss a dedicated camera button, the large screen and HTCs latest tweaks made it very easy to adapt. My rate of use ranges from VERY HEAVY to moderate and the battery does lasts. Considering how small it is and how large the device is I'm surprised people continue to complain, simple phone physics lol. I usually have decent experiences with phones but this has been the best by far! Now if only AT&T would get their speed restrictions over and done with, I'll see what this thing can really do! Again, carrier network issues can't be considered a CON for the device itself. Do yourself a favor, give this phone a try, you'll like it.

Build quality 10/10 Looks & feels great, plus it's heavy enough to be used as theft deterrent lol. Just insure it first before you heave it at someone.

Reception 9/10 I've only been in a few spots where I can't get reception and that's been the case with every cellular phone I've owned (those spots) can't blame that on the phone.

Call quality 10/10 I can hear everyone clearly and vice versa, even in less than great areas it simply works.

Internet 10/10 Like a dream, who needs a tablet?

Multimedia 10/10 This phone handles everything I throw at it with ease, I'm a multimedia hound and I have yet to be disappointed. Some complain about the speaker but I find it serves me just well, and the enhancements with headphones makes it even better.

Camera 9/10 I do miss the dedicated camera button from my X10 but I've gotten used to it, auto-focus simply works! The different tweaks they've made, this is the best HTC camera yet.

UI speed 10/10 Never lags, does what I want when I want, occasionally even before I want it lol. I made it mine lol.

Everyday usage 10/10 HTC gets it right and keeps getting it better. The Sense overlay makes Froyo even better. Don't believe compare it to the Nexus S with vanilla android.

Text input 10/10 3 keyboards from the jump, I have large hands and the screen suits me just fine, rarely ever have input mishaps and when I do it's ONLY because I'm not paying attention. Haste makes waste lol.

Display 10/10 Superb, enough said.

Battery 8/10 Considering the small size of the battery and the large size of the screen/device it powers, it could be A LOT worse. I'm more than happen with it.

Pros

• Everything honestly

Cons

• Complaints are about AT&T; NONE about this device!

htc inspire 4g cant be beat

drummer_jb has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Hey viewers, just got my inspire about a week ago. I did a lot of research and comparing before choosing my inspire and I have to say, I chose well! Before, I was considering waiting for a good dual core or the iphone. But I didn't want to be like the retards out there and just buy an iPhone just because of the hype without making sure its the best. Well, it may have arguably been the best phone out last summer but now there are tons of new phones that kill the stupid Apple righteousness. The only thing iphones have that is unique is the retina display and itunes. Personally, I could give a damn about itunes, I've always had the worst experience with it. And most reviews on dual core phones right now say it is. Equally fast or slower than most single core processor phones out now. I figure its because they haven't developed everything to perfect the dual core yet and I should probably wait a year or so until all the kinks are worked out and it gets better. But here is why the inspire dominates: a huge 4.3" super lcd display makes the phone an instant eye-catcher, the 8mp cam means you can take a pic, view it and zoom in as much as you want and the image is still razor Sharp, the H+ connection is so fast, WiFi works amazingly with no buffering or jittery-ness while playing streaming high quality vids, the ability to personalize almost everything, and much more. Only thing I can complain about is there's no way to hide pics or files or like, require password to view certain pic
