Love this phone over the iPhone and Blackberry!
14 years ago
I have had the iPhone before. I had the iPhone 3GS, and then I went to a blackberry torch, to this phone. This phone is yes, just as "heavy" as the iPhone was, before the new iPhone 4/4S came out. Here are my following statements about the 3 phones that I have had in the past 2 years, about.
iPhone 3GS: Don't get me wrong, I love Apple products as much as the next, and the iPhone was awesome when I first had it! It was a nice "easy to operate" phone. Meaning, it was very easy to do, no "complications" were there. As in, it was just what you see, is what you get, no real customization, except to the change the background from different apps that provide you with different backgrounds. The Apple's Operation System(OS) was very good, nice speed and nice loading time when downloading multiple downloads. The only thing I didn't like about it was the battery life, and YES, YOU WILL HAVE BATTERY COMPLICATIONS BECAUSE... it depends how much you use it during the day, what you do, and it ALSO DEPENDS on how much battery power it needs for the operation system to rely on. Overall, I loved the iPhone, but got bored of it because it was very, "plain" for such a "high tech" phone.
Blackberry Torch: I got this phone to replace the iPhone 3GS, because I thought I liked the actual physical keyboard more then the touch screen, and to my surprise this phone had BOTH! I was amazed by it, and decided to go with it. To my surprise, it was an AWFUL phone. The texting on it was awesome, of course, but that was if you were using the actual keyboard, not the touch screen's keyboard. The phone was very gentle when you switched it from side to side to use it as a landscape. When texting on it's touch screen, it would have the auto-coorect on, but usually that doesn't annoy me, but this one did. The keys on it were too small, and while typing, it wouldn't suggest the right word, when obviously, I KNOW HOW TO SPELL! So, non the least, I got bored of it because it also didn't have interesting apps, and I would thought so. I missed my iPhone, but didn't want the iPhone. So, that's when I got the HTC Inspire!
HTC Inspire: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this phone! It is very customizable with how you want your layout to be on this phone. It comes with preloaded layouts for you to choose from, so you can never get board with just the one look. It also has ringtones for you to choose from, all from the HTC Hub. This has themes, ringtones (for not only the calling tone, but also for the text message ringtone, and other reminders), widgets for you to add onto your phone, like a calendar, a clock, note pads, etc! Besides the look, I would have to say that the operation system for the Android is just as good, or even better then the iPhone! The speed on this is really good! I have some lags every once in a while because of how much I use it, switching from app to app to the browser. The battery, yes, it dies easily, just like any other "high tech" phone would. Again, it's most likely from how much you use it, and how much power it needs for the operating system to run on, along with what apps you have running in the background. THE CAMERA of this phone, I can't get enough of! It takes amazing pictures, and if you want to "photoshop" the images with basic stuff, you can easily do that all on the phone, by editing the photo, and choosing the "photoshop" look you want. For example, if you want your image to be in Black and white, or high contrast in color, etc! WHAT'S GREAT ABOUT THIS PHONE... is that it is also a portable wifi system. I have tried it, and it works wonderfully! Just got to make sure it's off when your done, because that uses up your a lot of your data! Overall, if you feel like you want to get out of the box from Apple's "what you see is what you got, no glitz at all" kind of phone, then get this one!! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! PS: It took used to knowing where everything is, but once you know where everything is, YOU WILL LOVE IT!
PSS: If the volume isn't high enough for you, let's say you're watching a Youtube Video, and you can't hear it even if you have Youtube's volume all the way up, press up on your phone's volume adjuster, and it would make it louder for you!

starts out great, ends up bad
14 years ago
when I first got this phone I was in love. great display, great camera, lots of apps, and you can do a lot to personalize it. I've had it for 5 months now and I'm so fed up with it that I'm going to pay full price for a new phone. it freezes A LOT. games and apps and even messaging crash constantly. the battery life is awful. I've gone through 3 chargers thinking the charger was the reason the phone wouldn't charge but lo and behold, it's the phone. meessaging freezes more often than not and it sometimes takes up to 2 minutes to load a message. it will also fail to send/recieve text messages. there was a time period where I couldn't talk on the phone without it being on speaker, simply because the phone would not turn off of speaker. I've never dropped this phone, never had water damage, it's in mint condition. it just doesn't work well. I wouldn't reccommend it

Increasingly Tempermental
13 years ago
This was my first smart phone coming from an LG EnV2 so when I first got it I was pretty happy with it. But through the course of the 2 - 3 years I had it I was overall disappointed. It never performed at anything close to 4G speeds, and that was if I was lucky enough to have it actually turn on its data connection without having to restart the phone. Thankfully I am usually on wireless, but being out and about and running into the constant struggle anytime I wanted to toggle on the data connection was just ridiculous. It would randomly omit pictures/music from my gallery/media players so I had to depend on a 3rd party app [rescan media] to list everything. The startup on it is painfully slow.
Some pros about it though were the 8gig SD card that was included, which helped offset the limited internal storage. It always worked well on wi-fi and only froze on me a handful of times. Other than its quirks above it was mostly reliable. Never really had problems as far as making calls/dropped calls.
In the end though I wouldn't really recommend it. I just upgraded to a Sony Xperia LT and am just realizing just how clunky this thing really was in comparison, both in size/weight and performance. There are much better phones out there.

I honestly had this phone for 3 months and straight of you know that the battery is going to give you a hard time, but it runs pretty smooth. There are the occasional freezes that can only be undone be removing the battery, which is the hardest thing to do. but overall i love the phone. There are always the occasional power problems but the texting, watching a video, recording, calling, and photo taking experince is great.
Proscamera/video quality, speaker, Wi-Fi capable, good for texting

Amazing to begin with, Abysmal thereafter
13 years ago
I'd like to begin this review with the good news, and that is the fact that for the first three months I owned this phone, it was simply amazing. Everything worked well and I was in love. The only thing that I still enjoy about this phone is downloading paid apps for free off of various sharing sites. Eventually, however, the phone would stop sending my texts, stop receiving pictures, the phone would randomly shut off and have to restart, the phone would freeze MANY MANY MANY times per day, and all of this is still happening as I type. To be honest, I'd day that the phone is frozen, restarting, or struggling to send/receive a text, more than it is working. I have become incredibly aggravated with this phone, and CANNOT WAIT to upgrade to an iPhone 5 in a month. All I can say is this, HEED MY WARNING. The phone will work well for a few months and then it will plunge into the abyss of malfunctions. TERRIBLE PHONE.

This is a great phone for the value. I love the display, and the phone in general. The only drawback is the battery life. Other than that, the phone is great.
