Kinda scared to post this in NSG... But anyways. I have at&t and im looking for a new phone the runs on a android os. ive been looking at reviews and its really tough to decide. inspire seems to be really easy to use but has no battery life. the infuse is big. really big. but seems pretty good but expensive. the atrix seems a little more complex but not too bad. has a cool fingerprint scanner but it doesnt really matter. its a tough call for sure.

any insight? experiences? anything?

I have an atrix and think its fantastic. I can film in high def then plug it in to my tv through hdmi. I also find it really easy to use, The battery life on all the super phones is pretty poor but thats mostly because of the programs that run in the background so if you turn them off you can get up to 2 days. Cant speak about the other 2 phones though

I find it really easy to keep organized and to understand but that could be just me I suggest trying it out first. The motoblur thing is useful and not very confusing all it does (that i care about) is ask you about your email Facebook twitter, etc. then it just keeps you up to date on what is happening by live streaming it on to your home screen.

it's so hard to be up to date on these things, a droid is so og now, yet i just got one. battery is a pain, i have to constantly go to appkiller to close all the apps that just start running by themselves

i just picked up the htc inspire a few weeks ago, and its mad nice. super easy to use too. And ive just made it a habit to charge everynight when i go to bed, even though it usually still has 70% battery life

I'm Canadian so I've only been able to play around with the Atrix so far, but I'd definitely swing for it out of the three you mentioned. Dual Core processor, gorilla glass screen and 960x540 resolution.. The thing is a beast. If motoblur bothers you then you'd fucking hate TouchWiz on the Samsung.

I'm not sure if the Nexus S is still available with AT&T but I'd highly recommend it. It's not as much of a powerhouse as any of the above, but due to it being backed by Google it gets updates first and a clean version of the Android OS.

Well between those two the Atrix is better hardware wise, but Motorola is pretty shitty about getting new updates on their handsets. HTC sense is a much better system and the screen on the inspire is beautiful + HTC has a much better track record of providing their customers with updates fast.

So basically if you don't need the faster processor in the Atrix then get the Inspire.

Hands down the best phone right now is Samsung Galaxy S2, it's coming to America pretty soon. I'd wait for that.

a bit smaller screen than the infuse but has a dual-core processor like the atrix. suppose to be the best-of-the-best for smartphones out there right now

Just got an atrix, it's pretty cool. The fingerprint scanner is really useful for unlocking the screen, you swipe a finger on the back instead of tapping a password. Fucking dig being able to torrent on it.
