#CES2011 HTC Inspire 4G, the Desire HD we’ve been waiting for in the US

HTC announced three new models this year at CES, and in a private event we got our grubby little mits on all three. This one is the Inspire 4G heading to AT&T later this year on their recently renamed 4G network. The Insipre 4G is a rebadged Desire HD with all of the same features we’ve seen before. There is no doubt this evo 4G like device is nice and it feels solid in your hand. Unfortunately, the model we played with was missing the battery so we couldn’t see it in action but being familiar with the software from playing with the Thunderbolt 4G, there wouldn’t be much else to report.

I absolutely love the time and effort HTC puts into making quality products that stand out and it really shows in this model. One interesting bit of info on this device is not only does the battery load in the side by removing a side cover, but the bottom cover is also removable to access the SD card slot. It’s nice to see AT&T finally getting some high end Android devices and it will be interesting to see if they lock the device down as they are known to do.

I love what Android brings to the table as far as customization and flashing custom built roms.
