The HTC Inspire!

I’ve been playing the HTC Inspired 4G (AT&T) phone [Affiliate Link] for the past week and I must say, I am really impressed with what you can do with it!  The phone that uses is Android 2.3.3 (Froyo).  if I Root the device, I might just be able to put Ice Cream sandwich on it but I am unsure if it will work at all!  I’m simply loving touch interface that comes along with the HTC Inspire.   It has been nothing but flawless.   Before I go any furthur, let’s at least get the System Specs out of the way.

Software Specs:

  • Android 2.2 operating system (Froyo) with over-the-air upgrade capability for future OS releases
  • eReader app with access to over 2 million book titles
  • BLOCKBUSTER app enables you to discover and download the latest movie rentals on the go.
  • DLNA capabilities enables you to share your photo albums, videos and movies wirelessly with a compatible HDTV or other DLNA device
  • Easy access to social networking via HTC Sense including updates from Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr.
  • Full messaging capabilities including SMS text, MMS picture/video and IM instant messaging (via popular services including AOL, Yahoo!, Windows Live Messenger, and Google Talk)
  • Access to personal and corporate e-mail (including support for Exchange and push Gmail)
  • HTML Web browser (WebKit-based) with support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for accessing Flash-enabled websites, watching video and playing games.

The Lowdown!

You can stream Netflix, and Youtube on the phone.   Although, I am not going through AT&T because I am using a NO contract phone! I’ve pretty much decided that I will keep the no contract option and see if I couldn’t get a SIM card from Straight Talk to work with this phone.  I have no doubt once I either get this phone unlocked or just Root the Phone and bypass the locking software.   I haven’t decided how I will be doing this but I suspect I can still keep using AT&T and my network provider but not pay as much!  I can also use another network to use Android on when you are using Straight Talk.   

Once I have done more research and find out which Android O/S is best, you will be the first to know about it!
