Exactly, this phone feels so solid. It's like you're holding a mini tablet. I hope the Atrix doesn't have a cheap feel to it.

Getting the Inspire and returning it for an Atrix later?

I agree.
When someone does this it impacts everyone, since you truly are abusing the system. Far too many people scam the carriers, then wonder why the price of service is high.
Let's be fair, not greedy.

I straight up asked at&t when I bought inspire if I could do this and they said sure, so I don't see how it is abusing the system. I will say if I like this phone and the atrix I may keep both. I am freaking awful. Especially since I am getting pre-ordering xoom on Thursday.

Just because something is allowed doesn't mean it's meant to be used like that...If you know you're going to return it, that's abusing the system. If you're not sure yet, then I guess that wouldn't be abusing it...:
I get your frustration but these guys talking about it might make them see how much they like the inspire
You're wrong buddy. I have a problem... I'm a phone whore
I switch phones way too often and got burned by Win7 Phone. (Never again)

We will see lol
I hope I'll stick with the Inspire for at least a year. Almost quite impossible with phones come out every month.

It's gonna take an epic HTC to make me swap this
Well like I said I did pick up the inspire and like many people here have stated I might have to rethink about getting the Atrix. This is a solid freaking phone even if it is running "last year's tech". I think the atrix will really have to blow me away for me to pick one up. Plus the fact that so many phones Are slated to come out in march.
Again, loving this phone so far!!

I do not think trying a phone for 30 days and then returning it if you do not like it is abusing the system. I came right out to the AT&T rep and said I just bought the Inspire but I am thinking about the Atrix. His exact words were- that's why you have a 30 return policy. If you try it and want another phone, by all means, get the other phone.
All they do is re-sell returned phones as a refurb. They lose money on these phones either way and make it up your first 6 months of your monthly fee, after that it is all gravy to them. They have no problem with people doing this and fully expect it.
That being said, I am seriously considering cancelling my Atrix pre-order and sticking with the Inspire. The Inspire is just one hell of a phone that I am really enjoying. And for $79 it has blown away any other phone (and I have had a lot of them) that have cost me more than double that in the past.
The Inspire is polished, fast, feels good in your hands, has a solid feel to it, is rock solid from a software standpoint (at least so far), has very good battery life (compared to my Captivate), and I am a HTC fan to boot. I have never owned a Motorola phone, so I cannot compare, but there are so many Motoblur haters out there that it makes me wonder if I will hate too. My one big complaint about the Inspire is the speakerphone, it is possibly one of the worst speakerphones I have come across in some time. I may have a lemon, but this thing is not nearly loud enough and is very very, tinny - and dont mean that in a good way. It is basically unusable for me, and I use my speakerphone a lot for confernce calls for work. I could always use my bluetooth, but having a earpiece in my ear for an hour or more at a time gets annoying to me.
I am still going to check out the Atrix at the store if I do cancel, but unless it blows me away, the Inspire may be the phone I use for the next 12 months or so.
