I don't change phones often. Before the smartphones I used to drop my phones and they would never last. I would end up getting something else. But I had got a Motorola Q right before the smartphones started getting popular. Even when it was time to upgrade I didn't want to because I didn't want to get into another contract. Well, I ended up wasting powerade on it and it worked for a little while. Then it started pushing buttons by itsself and I had to get me a new phone. I ended up getting a HTC Inspire the week after it came out. I wanted to hold off until that Motorola Atrix came out but I couldn't. I got the Inspire February of last year and it was the best phone I have ever had. Now that the battery is old and busted I'm constantly charging it and it's not so bad since I have a charger at home, at work, and in the car.
I was about to order another battery for it but since it is not a 4G LTE phone and since I didn't have 4G LTE in my area, I didn't see a reason to upgrade. Well, now they have about a month ago upgraded to 4G LTE and now I will upgrade to a new phone. The one I want is that Samsung Note 2. Now unless HTC comes out with something that is comparable to the Note 2, I'm pretty much dead set on getting it. But aside from the battery life the HTC Inspire was a good phone to me. I may just get another battery and give it to my 8 year-old daughter.
