Overall Review

HTC Inspire is the first smartphone by HTC which is branded as 4G and is a variant of HTC Desire HD and shares almost the same design and specifications except that Inspire 4G provides support to 4G network via selected service providers. It is an affordable smartphone with a large display and HTC Sense UI which brings in amazing users' experience with the device and makes them to boast about their amazing handset. Following the footsteps of HTC Evo 4G and HTC HD7, this smartphone measures 122.9 mm x 68.1 mm x 11.7 mm and weighs 163.9 grams and like its siblings, HTC Inspire is mostly well built and feels solid in hand.
