HTC Inspire 4G
The HTC Inspire 4G's massive 800 x 480-pixel 4.3-inch WVGA screen engulfs a majority of real estate up front, assaulting the user with ample capacitive goodness. The Inspire 4G's screen is so sleek that we felt as if we were swiping on fresh silk. Four haptic feedback buttons (Home, Menu, Back, and Search) reside along a minute strip on the bottom of the screen in order to preserve maximum viewing space. It became obvious early on that it was bred for high quality entertainment. Just like the HTC Surround, the HTC Inspire 4G is equipped with Dolby Surround and SRS WOW sound playback, which made movie screenings with headphones a highly enjoyable experience.
The back of the phone gave us hope for the future of monotonous and uninspiring smartphone designs that seem to be strewn about the market these days. HTC crafted the rear of the Inspire 4G using Terminator blueprints, infusing rubberized removable panels in place of one solid removable phone back plate. This way, we could access the included 8GB MicroSD card and SIM card by sliding the bottom panel off, and the battery could be popped out with ease by removing the side panel. The large 8-megapixel camera lens featured its own rubberized panel with the dual LED flash located next door. It's also worth noting that the HTC Inspire 4G has 4GB of built-in storage and its Micro SD card can house up to 32GB.
External controls are significantly minimized on the HTC Inspire 4G, which suggests that HTC wants users to focus on a touchscreen-oriented experience. We do get a Volume control, Power/Lock button, 3.5mm Audio jack, and USB terminal. We would have liked a camera button, but the phone's touch focus and large virtual shutter button did the trick. The HTC Inspire 4G may not provide an HDMI terminal, front-facing camera, or kickstand, but the phone can still hang with the HTC EVO 4G and Motorola Droid X when it comes down to design and interface.
