It's been great for me. I'm actually surprised at how smooth it is. If I didn't see all the beautiful sense widgets I would think I was using iOS. When I put the phone down to charge I grabbed my iPhone and my first reaction was to squint. The screen on this thing is big and it looks great. I'm happier than I thought I would be.

Came from an HTC Droid Incredible and so far so good - The new HTC sense 2.0 is smoother than what I had on my Incredible. The battery door is a PITA like everyone has already stated and I'm on my 2nd charge of the battery already 
Screen size is great and the phone feels good (balanced) and easy to use when texting or surfing the web. I haven't used the camera as of yet.
Just ran a quadrant benchmark and it pulled a 1776

Yea this phone is awesome.

So you climbed out of bed with your phone long enough to post 1 sentence. Hehe.
I have always had blackberry. ATT is the best coverage in my area. Never liked apple. Anyway, I got so sick of blackberry that last summer I kept visiting the verizon store and drooling over the Droid X. This manager ended up basically giving me 400 bucks and a free personal cell tower to switch. Verizon's service was so bad that I had to switch back. But to get back on track, my feeling was that the X was very laggy. This phone is not at all. It really is amazing. And I didn't have it with the X, but swiftkey is the best keyboard I have ever used. Rhapsody works perfectly on it. And I don't think the battery is bad at all. I could not be happier.

Battery door isn't bad for me, I just put my finger nail in the slot and pry it apart, must be all those years of precesion sheet metal!
The screen is actually nice, not as bright as a samoled, I have the captivate and focus and those screens are brighter, but this screen seems smoother, like it's not trying to burn your retina! It's lightning fast and smooth scrolling, nothing like a wp7, but I believe those use hardware acceleration. Call quality is fine, its not absolutely fantastic but it's not bad either.
Build quality is fantastic. That bottom part doesn't feel slopy at all, it fits snug. You can definitely tell the phone is made of a solid metal machined all in one. It does feel slightly heavy but nothing terribly bad.
Apps look absolutley wonderful on the large screen. Market place loads great, no lag. browser works fine, no lag. Haven't really tested too much things such as flash or played any games, like dungeon defender or anything but I do have them downloaded.
Really only complaint I have, speaker is not that loud, I mean you can hear it. But put it next to a samsung focus and you will definitely tell the difference!
Overall impression is, the phone is absolutely fantastic!!!!
AND:
THE GPS WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sucks man. Just playing around. Also I'm jealous because I can't get the phone until March.

I'm really interested to hear what former iPhone owners have to say. I'm a big Apple fan (and Mac owner), but I might be ready to move on from my 3GS. I was at an AT&T store today and played with the Inspire, but I just couldn't pull the trigger. It was quite impressive, but something about the feel of the browser just didn't seem as fluid as my 3GS.

I love this phone, I was getting it to just hold me over until the atrix arrived, but I think I will keep this phone for a while, it does everything I need it to do..good graphics, very responsive and fast, best phone I have ever owned..Im comming over from a Iphone 3G, This blows iphone away..IMO
So judging by your lack of posts and MarcMaiden's silence I should assume this phone isn't awesome enough to get me out of work.
I had to register for this forum just to post in this thread...
Can any of you guys give a review of AT&T's HSPA+ service so far if you have it?? AT&T and Verizon both have excellent coverage here but I have some issues getting a decent signal in the building I work in for streaming music during the day. My coworkers on Verizon have no problems at all--I was hoping the enhanced back haul service might make up for that.

I'm coming from an iphone 3gs and all I can say is Wow. This phone is amazing. It blows the iphone away in my opinion. I was the first person to buy one from the store today according to the salesman.
Rewd, I've only been playing with it for a little while now but the service seems great. I've had great reception all day.

I am big Apple fan, name a Apple device and I own it if not more than one. I picked up a Inspire 4G to replace my iPhone 4 32GB only because I've owned every iPhone model since it was released and thought it was just time for a change. This device lives up to all my expectations in responsiveness, ease of use and build quality just to name a few. Some of the simple things I'm really enjoying include Live Wallpaper (Matrix code themed), and ability to customize my home screens.
Over the next few days I plan on writing up a detailed review. I hope this provides you a perspective from the point of view of another person who has embraced the dream of Apple and it products.
Free feel to ask any question you have.

this phone = tits. One of the best feeling devices I've ever owned. the entire thing just feels like quality.
It feels slimmer, lighter and sturdier than anything I've ever used, despite that not being the case. This is a complete testament to how well it has been built. Combine that with it's awesome screen size and there is no way you can have anything not to love.
