  • dammit lisa grow a pair!

  • I got it a while ago. It's OK. No front can, its quick tho. But not the quickest. All in all, its cheap and good, but If I could do it again, I wouldn't get it.

  • @2012Scooters its an excellent phone. It only has one core which is kinda outdated but it is still rly fast. It's also very thin and pocketable and has a huge display. I would recommend it

  • @RSRproject Lisa, can I buy this phone unlocked and plug in a Straight Talk sim card and the phone will work fine? Please reply.

  • Does it work with the latest Android updates? Does skype work on it?

  • which do you prefer? Samsung Infuse 4G or HTC Inspire 4G??

  • I might be getting this phone.. Is it worth getting it? Is it a good phone to have?

  • how does it compare to the EVO (love that phone), i hate that att doesn't offer unlimited data anymore

  • lisa my phone (HTC inspire 4g) screen is completly black and if i try to turn it on it vibrates 5 times and wont turn on and when i tired to hard reset it but it does the same thing , I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or whats wrong with my phone !

  • @granto425 yes it does.

  • does this model use the software where it snows on screen if it is snowing outside?

  • @MobileTechReview whats your daily driver if you dont mind me asking

  • Hey Lisa I know your probably not supposed to condone rooting but do you root any of your devices

  • @superpiff420 Nobody tells us to condemn rooting, and I root devices that don't do the things I want without rooting. That said, most do meet my needs without rooting.

  • Mine is rooted and its pretty fast!

  • does this use lte?

  • @Mr41090 No, it works on AT&T's HSPA+ network.

  • I've had my HTC inspire 4g for about 10 months now

  • I have the lg marquee and have a front facing camera facetime

  • 4:36 EVen You can't do this...

    Girls..

  • * got

  • It has hot the same Design as my HTC Desire HD

  • Yes that is true about the battery

  • I have its been glitching and freezing :C

  • only bad thing about this phone is that it has a really fast dying battery. have to charge every night, and sometimes earlier

  • I love this phone but my only complaint is that it doesn't have the front facing camera

  • I have this phone,I love it but,the touch screen is to sensative!

  • arnt you my fuking chemistry teacher?

  • @radnev007 Holy shit man. She's probably mine too. LOL.

  • A mobiletechreview video within a mobiletechreview @08:05 Mobiletechreviewception???

  • I got this phone today.

  • @MobileTechReview, How Come no Front Cam, No Video Calling and Video Chatting !!!

  • @arifathaar actually u can but u have to use the back cam and only with skype or oovoo lol

  • lol you pulled the sim card protecter out just about the hardest way possible

  • ummm is there like an ipod installed or mp3 player

  • @kpop4eversuju13 yes. a music player.

  • holy fuck is there free toast ?

  • the battery is a friggin pain to get to if you dont have nails......and even then...enjoy breaking them.

    other than that the phone is great! froze on me twice, dont know what that was about....but so far, the inspire worked without any problems. 4G is fast, the camera and vid cam are great.

  • this or the htc vivid?

  • I was able to catch this one during a sales event at radio shack and I didn't have to pay a penny for the phone itself. Just had to pay the deposit and sign up for the contract and I was ready to go, it has been a great phone so far. I love the fact that it can connect to the internet via WiFi. So many great things about the phone, and the display is just absolutely awesome.

  • Sorry, meant to make the response to @RSRproject

  • i need help iv got a sim card iv had this phone for abit now but now the phones saying theres no sim card in there :(

  • How do you put a text signiture on this phone??

  • do you have to have a data plan to use this phone?

  • @RSRproject Yes.

  • Just got mine. Never freezes, and has Android 2.3.5

  • man i love this phone

  • I have this phone and it is great the only problems is that once in a full moon flames came out of the speaker. Jk but the only problem that I have with it is that it freezes but other then that its a great phone

  • how does this phone compare to the droid incredible 2?

  • if i did get this phone do i have 2 pay for the wifi and also if i did get it do i have 2 pay for the internet

  • it does not do 4g trsut me ... root and rom miui and maybe

  • just asking, what's better? the new htc vivid or htc inspire? i'm about to get a new phone soon but i can't decide on which.

  • @main1323 yes, it should be no problem as long as its an at&t sim card and you have a data plan.

  • This looks like the desire hd

  • I'm really, really stupid :) Is this a Windows phone?

  • @juliaxkayseexkaylee Nope, this is an Android/Google phone. You can tell by the software of the phone.

  • @juliaxkayseexkaylee Look up the HTC Titan for an example of a recent Windows phone.

  • I was curious.. will it cost money if you download apps?

  • Which do u guys prefer? htc vivid or inspire?

  • @ecwfan93 well on paper, the htc vivid is faster. it has a 1.2ghz dual core (vivid) vs the 1ghz single core (inspire), also the vivid has a larger screen (4.5) vs the inspire (4.3) and a higher resolution screen (960x540) vs (480x800) on the inspire. the inspire is without a doubt a really, really good phone and i absolutely love it, but since the vivid is newer, its a better future proof purchase. though as far as a hacking/porting community, the inspire obviously has a larger base. my 2cents.

  • i traded this phone for my iphone 4 today fuck yeah :D

  • can you use Itunes on it?

  • Awesome review, I'm seriously considering getting this phone. But, I was wondering if you are able to upload music onto it?

  • @emehly9356 Yes, you can.

  • @emehly9356 Get it. I love this phone(had it for about 2 months) It feels and is very impressive. Very strong. Keep in mind if you are a young lady who likes to keep you phone in your back pocket, this may be a bit large though

  • @emehly9356 My AT&T phone was due for an upgrade a while back so I chose a refurbished HTC Inspire. I didn't have a data plan before and I don't now, and the phone works fine with my old SIM card. I only use WiFi. I don't think you necessarily need a data plan to use this phone.

  • this dosent hve a frontt camera?

  • @zekedude17dlf No, it doesn't.

  • @zekedude17dlf Well some of them do. The 4g does i thinkkk

  • it's free!! on best buy!! I'll buy this htc inspire 4g at february

  • Hey I know that the HTC Inspire is an absolute amazing phone but I was wondering if the iphone 4s would be better for me and im 16? I love the design and the screen on this phone but i was wondering if the iphone had special features that the HTC didnt? thank you.

  • @RRaider6 the 4s out dates the Inspire. You will get faster speeds, better pictures, a front facing camera, and more; keep in mind that the 4S is more expensive. If i am correct, At&t offers the inspire for free with a 2 yer warranty.....that is a deal! I own the Inspire and I love it, but it does have a few flaws. The screen is hard to see when in the sun, the battery is a little weak, but will get you through a full day. Some people hate the speaker, but i think its fine. good luck!

  • @whipmanjak Thank you a lot and I ended up getting the Inspire and I really like it!

  • Has any one here paid the $125 deductible if so why must it be paid

  • @TheJunior2541 lo i paid $500 just to get it plus the $99 also

  • I have this phone and it's amazing, I love it. It's my first android phone, and it's easy and just perfect. The only bad thing about it is that it doesn't have a physical QWERTY keyboard, and for that reason I'm gonna get an HTC G2. But seriously, this phone rocks. I HIGHLY recommend it.

  • This will be a major upgrade from my Motorola droid 2

  • This phone is not good on charge the phone is not bad but I would say its not a really good phone

  • I need this phone SO BAD

  • HEY ATT IF YOUR READING THIS. MAKE REFURBISHED RED $50.00 COPIES!

  • can someone explain to me At&t data plans.

    I have an Unlimited texting plan. does this count for data?

    I don't want to have to pay for internet just to have a smartphone. It's a waste of money. But if i HAVE to, then that cuts away a bunch of phones I am looking at to purchase. Including this one

  • @staind420 For AT&T, you need to get a data plan. Messaging plans are separate without any special deals or bundles.

  • @staind420 But these phones also come with built in wifi. So while you still have to get a data plan, you can just get their cheapest one (200 MB for only $15 extra a month) and just use wifi. When you're on wifi you can get online all you want and it won't count on your data plan. Except for when you send or receive multimedia texts. Those have to use the mobile internet.

  • @staind420 Ya i know. But i have an ipod touch. So i just use that for wifi. I know 15 dollars is cheap. But really it is just a waste of money. Wifi is everywhere now. These cell phone companies know that, but they are milking people for all its worth.

  • Thanks Lisa, a nice general looksee. I did have a few areas of curiosity left unquenched. The 720p video capture, Geocoding, 802.11n connect, codecs for video recording and playback, barcode tag reading, print to networked printer. On my trusty if not crusty Kaiser, I have TomTom. Does that sort of stuff work with these? My first thought Is that it will not due to an OS conflict with winmobile vs android.

    I see HTC does have gingerbread for download.

  • @RWRamo We covered more info in our full written review. Check that out. There are GPS navigation and maps on Android. Google's own navigation and maps are free, but there is also TeleNav, CoPilot, Navigon, etc. for Android. I don't believe TomTom does, they offer a fleet management software for businesses on Android.

  • @MobileTechReview Thanks for the lightspeed feedback, checked the review. That cut back the list of things to answer, and added a few. I notice a few bits on this thread with concerns over battery life. I have been using a Kai100 (att 8925) for some time now. It had a 12k battry that started to get a bit short on poop. A $4 replacement which dimentionaly is the same size is a 15k something battery. And does last a lot longer. Although my use is plugged mostly in car lighter or home AC

  • This may be a strange question but can you put a pass code on it for when you unlock it? I know most android run phones have it but im just curious if the HTC has it.

  • I have this phone with my 3g sim card but the phone gives me an option to use wifi only for everything if i dont have a data plan. will at&t make me use a data plan anyways? i'm afraid theyre gonna upgrade my plan without telling me. i dont want to be the next dude on tv with 586473600000 dollars to pay for over use

  • i dont know whether to get the  LGthrill or the HTC inspire... which one is better??

  • @Sadie8D

    Get the Inspire...I had the thrill, and the battery life SUCKS!!!!!!!! I promise you don't want the Thrill, you'll be SO disappointed!

  • @NavBrat97 i heard the inspires battery life was horrible too://

  • does it have a front camera?

  • I don't get why everyone who tries to take off the back tries to grab it the way they do. it comes off fairly easy if you grab it from the ends of the phone rather than trying to push it down on the larger surface. hard to describe but i hope you get what i mean. The battery one is indeed hard to get off though.

  • isnt this the htc desire hd?

  • this is a great phone and all cause at 6:57 time went by :D

  • im stuck between this and the iphone, what should i get??

  • @LittleVato33 If you turn the phone over, there is a piece on the right hand side that slides off. It's on there pretty well, but I assure you it comes off! :D

  • Question: How do you slide the battery OUT?

  • the phone is pretty much amazing, I don't have any problems with it at all best phone on the market

  • how long does the battery last if i only use for normal use like calls and and to check the time??

  • i have this phone its great!:) i was wondering is it gonna get icecreamsandwich or what ever android 2.4 called mines has 2.3

  • Please do yourself a favor and don't buy it. I have had one since July 2nd-it is currently October-and it...well, it sucks. The battery life is awful, HTC Sense crashes at least twice a month, messaging is slow, reception is awful, it lags like a motherfucker, music playback has gone from alright to terrible (it deleted all my playlists, it randomly stops music, etc.) WiFi reception is a piece of shit, and the whole phone isn't worth it. But the camera. The camera is amazing.

  • hmm should i get this or iphone 4, or something else, anybody have some ideas?

  • my only qualm is the battery life

  • It's way better than the iPhone I own both

  • Is it Better than the iPhone 4s>?

  • @AutumnDemon Of course not, iPhone 4S is the best phone ever created.

  • @Roger5970 Lol apple fanboy GTFO it is not the best phone created as of right now that is Samsung Galaxy s2 Droid > Apple

  • @TaKKtiiKZz Uh lets see.. First off Im not an apple fan boy, I don't even own one of their products. And yes, the iPhone 4S is the best mobile phone to hit the market. So before you start trolling on YouTube, why dont your start reviewing the iPhone 4S.

  • @Roger5970 Lol learn your shit s2 has a 1.2 dual core iphone has 1.0ghz and a bigger screen more customization lol your dumb.

  • @TaKKtiiKZz The frequency of a processor does't matter, cache does. iDevice's IOS Operating system is easily jailbroken to be personalized anyway you like it. Stop making your retarded MW2 videos and get a girlfriend or even better, a life.

  • @Roger5970 Wanna know the funny thing? EVEN W/O ROOTING AN ANDROID YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE IT MORE THAN A JAILBREAK IPHONE and who cares if I make MW2 videos that wasn't part of our discussion which proves you are an idiot looking for a way out NICE TRY ASSHOLE.

  • @TaKKtiiKZz Uhh, lets see. 1st off when you jailbreak a IOS device, you can do alot more than just personalize. You can get free games, apps, etc. And well, I just made it a part of our conversation, didn't I?

  • @Roger5970 Easily jailbroken, yes. But I remember reading an article a while back about Apple trying to patent a device that will allow them to remotely disable detected jailbroken iPhones. Not saying iPhones aren't great phones, but I just want something that allows me to do whatever I want, even if doing so may compromise the performance of the phone. If the iPhone would give me options, like using flash, I would buy one.

  • @bgoodrick That will never happen. Jailbreaking iPhones isn't legal. And apple cannot track them as it would be illegal.

    Jailbreaking: Consumer Rights

    Unlawful Tracking: Invasion of Privacy

  • do you have to use the internet when you get the apps? can you get the apps for free?

  • @waad451 If you use free WiFi to access the Internet and download apps, it's free. If you use carrier's data network, then you pay for their data service. As for the apps, some are free some are paid for.

  • Can I use a regular SIM with prepaid credit? Thank you for the reviews, I'm considering buying this!

  • no front facing camera?

  • Hey There, May I Ask The HTC Inspire's Current Price as of Now and How Many Touch Points can it Support. Thank you

  • i know this a dumb question but do i pay for wifi?

  • @5216l fuck no

  • @5216l No, you don't.

  • @5216l That would depend on how you count the beans. You pay for internet access, and probably your connect device is a modem with some ethernet ports and a wifi radio built in. Exampled by the 2wire 2700 "home portal" that comes with ATT ADSL. It is a modem+ethernet router+802.11g WiFi access point. Some Malls, Restaurants, shops have an access point such as Mac you know who. Some hotels, gas stations, restaurants sell a day use for a couple of bucks.

  • This is such a cool looking phone. I was all set to get it and looked at a few user forums. A lotta folks unhappy with the battery life, the sound quality and the signal strength. I'm not sure why this couldn't receive a signal when other phones could in the same place, but enough folks mentioned it to be aware of this. Might still get it if the bugs are worked out.

  • I can't wait to get this phone

  • Even tho I dont have the phone yet which I will be doing soon. I think that the battery cover is on tight for a reason and I think the reason is that im a person that loves to drop my phone and every single time I do, my battery falls out. So thats why i think its on there tight. but why would you wonna take the battery out anyways? :/

  • Dude,I had this phone,it was ok,till it started lagging and bugging. Now I love my Atrix.

  • does this do hdmi out ?

    

  • infuse 4G of inspire 4g??!?!!? i dont know which one to pick! someone pease help me choose

  • We really have come a long way.. To where 12 seconds is considered a long load time lol

  • @SwagCollegeKid I just bought mine last Sunday and i ordered a refubished one for 19.99 and It is going to get here tomorrow.

  • @MrSimpleTUTS wtf u mean only 20 dollars???? whats the catch?

  • @Trancaholic07 no catch. I had to buy it online at ATT.com

    It's a refurbished one. I already got it and it's awesome. You can watch some of my YouTube videos over it.

  • @MrSimpleTUTS im gettin' it in 240$ and its used... 

  • @Trancaholic07 that's a terrible deal. You can buy one BRAND NEW for only $100.

    You're getting ripped off

  • @MrSimpleTUTS nah man thats its real value to get it unlocked.... in my country carriers dont provide awesome deals like where u guys are, u guys r lucky! we buy it in the real price.... n im getting it from ebay 240$ which is a good deal for me as over here its around 360$ if not more...

  • @Trancaholic07 you can get it for 20 dollars online refurbished true but your stuck with a 2 year contract and if you actually pay the 400 dollars or less if used your not stuck with the 2 year contract. ~True~

  • @SwagCollegeKid are you for reals or are you lying ?

  • @jrhaggerty20

    First, I see that Andriod 2.3.3 is now available to update this phone. One of the listed features for 2.3.3 is better battery life, presumeably thru power management. There are also some driod apps that extend battery life. Just search the andriod marketplace. Finally, the HTC comes with something like a 1230 mah battery. If you look on Ebay, you can get an 1800 mah battery pretty cheap.

  • Does this have the Swipe Text feature?
