Why would you Inspire people recommended the Inspire over the Atrix?

I'm kinda curious. I have seen the 1.8Ghz OC kernel, and Cyanogenmod 7 on the forums but haven't been able to find a video or anything. Can anyone compare this to the experience of a stock Atrix? I want to believe that a Inspire w/ CM7 @ 1.8Ghz would be scorchingly fast.

I'm sure the Atrix battery lasts nearly 2X the inspire overclocked like that, but I don't mind carrying around a 2nd battery for a phone. I always had 2 with my OG Droid
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
the fact that it doesn't have blurr should be the main reason. Alone the inspire is such a mod-able phone its not even funny. Performance wise from playing with a friends atrix and mine (not o.c.). Mine still ran smoother.

Its all about what the person wants. Specs or customization.

Not over clocked I get a good day day half of heavy use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
There have been a few devs who left the atrix for the inspire, the inspire has bigger dev community. As far as 1.8 goes, I don't think thats realistic for everyday performance. 1.5 is the performance sweet spot for most.

[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I had an inspire, got rid of it BC I was a noob with android and the battery wasn't working out. Bought an atrix, and was disgusted after about a week to the point that I didn't care if the battery OJ the inspire was small - I just wanted it back. Sold my atrix, bought a new inspire and never looked back. The phone is seriously just 100 better. L

The kicker is that with certain custom roms, cm7 being the best, the battery life is equal to that of the atrix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahblake:
yeah i bought the Galaxy S because of the "specs" Let's just say i learned my lesson on that... For me it's all about the Dev Support, and as you can see the Inspire 4G has LOTS!!!

On a side note.. I actually checked which phone was supported by CyanogenMod before purchasing..

I believe that HTC is the way Android is meant to be..

$199 - Atrix

Inspire vs Atrix

A stock Inspire runs very smoothly and very quickly. The Atrix is very fast because of the dual core processor, but that's pretty much it. Motoblur slows the phone down quite a bit and while it does seem to maintain it's responsiveness despite some lag, as I said it's still pretty laggy. HTC Sense isn't just an overlay on top of Froyo, it actually seems to enhance the experience of using an Android phone because everything seems to run so much smoother. Gaming on the Inspire isnt as good as it is on the Atrix because it's not dual core, but games for the most part run very smoothly (I've played quake 3 on mine with no issues). But yea, if you're just looking for speed, the Inspire is more than capable. It's already very fast underclocked, but its very fast overclocked as well.

This vid may help u decide if u should keep the Atrix or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmFKACFIu1s
[HTC Inspire 4G] glitzbd:
Atrix disappoints

I work at a Best Buy and a lot of people bought the Atrix on release day at my store. I, however, wanted to wait and see, plus being a huge HTC fan the Inspire was really desirable (pun intended). So yeah I got an Inspire while one of my co-workers in the Geek Squad has an Atrix, and we go back and forth. "My resolution is higher!" he says, "My screen is more vibrant and larger" I say... Then his phone lags and doesn't scroll smoothly and I laugh. Speed test side-by-side I blow him out of the water, it really ticked him off when I connected his Atrix to my 3G hotspot and Speed tested quicker than his Atrix alone. Plus with the Atrix you have to rely on Motorola to release updates, and there is no way to put CM7 or another custom ROM (as of now due to encrypted bootloader)... Not to mention the version of 2.2 on there doesn't utilize the second core (if I am incorrect let me know). Sure he can hook it up to a TV and play around, but that isn't useful...
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Get rid of the atrix. For a dual core phone that thing is a straight up embarrassment to Android. No ones kidding when they say the inspire is faster with no overclock. Doing side by side tests of inspire (stock) vs both atrixs I had, the inspire won EVERY speed test I gave it. With an overclock, its not even close.

And yes the atrix IS utilizing both cores with that version of froyo that's its shipped with, and with no possible way to ever flash a kernel, don't expect it to get much faster than it is right now

Edit- and my battery life actually isn't to bad at 1.8 surprisingly. It thought it was gonna be really bad, but it turned out to be pretty good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] plvaulter06:
Update:

Bought a brand new Inspire today!

Thanks for the input everyone!

PS. If anyone is interested in my Atrix it is for sale. $400
[HTC Inspire 4G] lonehawk2k4:
in terms of stock one of the reasons people prefer the inspire is because of the htc sense UI it gives a smoother and better experience with andriod

motorola's UI is lik a rip off of htc from wat ive seen of it at least
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
If it was even close to a rip off it would be passable.., but its far from it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
The Atrix is from Motorola, for the main reason. Blur is horrible and Motorola locks their phones down to where modding just isn't as plentiful as an HTC phone. On paper, the Atrix is a must-have device. But in reality, it is a buggy Motorola phone. The build quality of the Atrix seems to be excellent, though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Its not great build quality. It does have some heft to it, but the back creaks and it is entirely plastic. The only good thing is the whole back can be replaced. The fingerprint sensors also aren't aligned or centered... they look like they were thrown in there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wrxtcy379:
I had both the inspire and the artix

my atrix experience wasn't terrible but that might have been because of the fact i was rooted running gingerblur the best rom out right now for the atrix... i enjoyed the atrix's great battery life and fingerprint scanner but the build quality wasn't good and felt cheap to me

in my opinion if your running a stock atrix with no intention of flashing a rom to it your going to get annoyed and bored of blur..

that being said sense isn't much better for me im much more a fan of stock android or miui actually is pretty good to. I would personally get rid of the atrix and try the inspire the screen is bigger and brighter in my opinion and has a lot more of rom development the atrix
[HTC Inspire 4G] daveop:
QFT. I couldn't stand how badly my back cover creaked. Nothing about that phone screamed quality to me at all, software or hardware wise.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
locked bootloader= no reason to buy EVER. Even with the cool dual core you can't overclock or do any cool **** w/ roms. On top of that motoblur is a piece of junk.

Is there any way to get rid of the blank corners of the screen as experienced on some ROMs?
[General Questions and Answers] jtpryan:
I have a Droid A855. The main problem with it is keeps giving me low memory errors. Now the specs claim that it has 256Mb internal memory.

The Droid X says:

TI OMAP 1GHz processor with Dedicated GPU

8GB Internal memory for emails, texts, and apps

2 GB microSD card pre–installed on–device — up to 32GB microSD supported

Is this 8Gb the same memory that the 256Mb of the 855 is? Is there really that much of a jump? This is the one I'm interested in.

But, the Samsung Fascinate is on a 1 day sale for the same price as a refurb Droid X - $99. It says:

1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird Processor

2GB Internal memory

16 GB microSD card pre–installed on–device — up to 32GB microSD supported

I am still leaning toward the Droid X even though a refurb. WWYD?

-Jim
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
Droid X - 8 GB internal memory + you can put a 32GB SDcard in it = 40 GB is the maximum you can get.

Samsung Fascinate - 2GB internal memory + you can put a 32GB SDcard in it = 34GB

What is internal memory?

Internal memory is used to store data that is used by the system at startup and to run various types of programs such as the operating system. Typically, internal memory is contained on small microchips that are either attached or connected to the computer's/phone's motherboard. Memory can range from a couple of megabytes to several gigabytes. On an Android device the internal memory will be used by the operating system and applications. You can move some apps to the SD-card, but it's always nice to have lots of internal memory. I have an HTC Desire HD with 1,5GB internal memory and i have about 1GB free space left after using it for six month :)
[General Questions and Answers] jtpryan:
Thank you. But what I'm after is how much memory the X offers for system processes. In other words, the A855 offers 256Mb, what does the X offer? I know it isn't the entire 8Gb, but some part of it.
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
I don't know. Someone with the X will have to give you the answer :) I recommend you ask in the general section in the Droid X forum.

has anyone used a power peg with an X10?

I have power peg, but when i press the charge button on the peg, the led on the X10 only lights for a few seconds before it stops. i remember reading somewhere that the X10 doesn't like 3rd party chargers, and that a few people fixed the problem by modding some of the pins on the charger. the power peg uses Igo interchangeable tips, so changing pins would be easy if that was the case.

Also, what about Twitters native apps for Android and Mac vs Tweetdeck?

[Vibrant General] gazelem37:
I'm not sure from your details which ROM you actually pushed. If you are looking for the stock build Froyo ROM from Tmo it should be a .tar file with a name of T959UVJFD.tar or something similar. From the some 30 ROMs I've flashed on my vibrant this issue has come up before and always gets resolved when I either reflash the ROM (meaning something may have gone wrong during the flash) or it was the ROM itself. These problems sound like your ROM may have been built for the Captivate, not the Vibrant. The drivers don't play well between the 2.

1. I can make phone calls... sometimes. Sometimes I can call and it works great, other times it says it is dialing but there is no dial sound and it never connects.

2. I can send SMS... sometimes. Sometimes it just sends and recieves, other times it times out.

3. My icon for data connectivity says it is Edge and never shows 3g.

When I pull down the status bar it says AT&T, this was a T-Mo Tab that I unlocked and am using my AT&T SIM from my iphone.

Do I need to re-flash the modem? or did I mess some other step?

I will try the switcher and see if setting it manually to 2g and Voice will make it more reliable.

T-Mobile was very smart here. Instead of playing a cat and mouse game with developers, they are embracing it. They probably realize the costs of locking down phones just to have them cracked anyway is not worth it. Instead, work alongside the development community and improve upon the phones.

1,000 brains are better than the few that work for them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peacekeeper05:
So we can assume HTC was lying when they said that it was the carriers that are pushing them to lock the bootloader. Cause if thats the case G2x too would have a locked bootloader cause the sensation and g2x are both on t-mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Why would HTC be lying? Companies (ie T-Mobile) pay the vendors to lock things down. I fail to see your logic here. T-mobile and other telcos were (and are) paying the phone manufacturers to lock the phones.

Even companies like Sony outsource security attempts. It is a frivolous and wasteful use of their funds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peacekeeper05:
Lol. My post above was just a mere speculation. No need to get angry and defensive. My logic is just simple, why lg w/ the same carrier(t-mo) has their phones unlocked and why htc with their sensation(also on t-mo) has a locked bootloader. Htc said t-mo pushed them to do it and they don't have any choice.

Not trying to sound angry or defensive. I just didn't see your point. I think that after Tmo's take on phones like the Nexus One and now the G2X, HTC and others might get in the ballgame with keeping the phones easily unlockable.

T-Mobile did push companies to lock em down for customer service related issues, but I think times are a changin'
