Aight guys, I was hoping to hear experiences or knowledge on the three phones im considering when i have an update this may.

The phones are:
1) HTC Inspire
2) Motorola Atrix
3) Samsung Galaxy S2

My thoughts are, I like the feel of the software in the HTC, and it has great quality feel to it. The other two feel more serious and business like but they offer more features and cool little doodads.

Help me out. Im hopeless with technical stuff. :no:

I don't have much advice to give since I have Verizon, but this may help out

I have heard nothing but amazing reviews on the Atrix if that helps any.

:D

I don't get my upgrade until Nov., but if I could do it now it would be the Atrix. It, and the Galaxy S2 are both dual core processor, and that's where everything is going... so I would count out the Inspire.

Yeah im kinda thinking the same thing. Plus the Inspire has what like a 1230ma battery, and under heavy use only lasts like 4 or 5 hours. I definitely want the speed of the dual core, but i almost feel like the atrix is only worth it if youre willing to buy and use the multiple (but baller nonetheless) accessories like the lapdock or multimedia extension. HDMI output is definitely sounding pretty neat, and also the 2mp front facing camera and the 1980(?)ma battery have got me leaning that way. but, The phone itself feels cold and businesslike, like using it would be like trying to fuck a broad who's jst lying there with her eyes clenched.

As far as the Galaxy s2, id need to go mess around with it. that samsung oled screen is definitely great, but again, i feel like unless you watching movies and play games all the time, its going to waste.

Bacon- ill check it out man, thanks.
EDIT: Go fuck yourself lol. I was just wanting to hear if anybody had any firsthand experience on here with any of them since i know some of the guys on here are phone whores.

I personally gave my iPhone4 up for the Android HTC Inspire. Love it, have no complaints.

I have a Droid X on Verizon and love it. I'm not a fan of AT&T but the Inspire and the Atrix are getting good reviews.

Its really no better or no worse than my Iphone 4 was. With only using it once in a while during the day for a phone call/text here and there I can almost go two days without a charge. If im seriously using it non stop, I can go about a whole day on one charge.

When you Google any reviews, try to find the ones done by CNet. They do great reviews.

...go Sprint and get a Nexus S 4G or an Evo 3D.

Otherwise, I would get Atrix and pray that an awesome Seidio makes an extended battery like the one for my Evo. I leave Wifi and 3G on constantly and don't have to charge for 2 days on average.

Or just buy a Nexus S. :D

lol itll probably come with plenty of headaches, but for anyone with a 4g phone, it should be a good feeling to very soon be under tmobile's network also.

Get the Atrix man, Dual core, got hardware, and its not made by samsung. I have the Vibrant for T-mo which is a galaxy S phone and like all other samsung phones, they took forever to send an update, and the update is buggy. But if ur into rooting and running different roms, i would get the S2.

Yeah, i think im just going to have to wait for the s2 and go play with it for a good long time. I happen to really like samsung phones.
