Amdroid users can I please get some help with getting a phone..

Ok so I get to choose a new Android work phone and I don't know what phone to choose. My choices are the Motorola Atrix 4g or the HTC Inspire 4g. I like the HTC but I know that the Atrix will have a the words fastest smart phone for a week or two lol, but I really like the size of the HTC. So Android people what phone would u pic? Keep in ming it's my work pone and I get a new one about every 4 months but I just want to choose the correct one

I'd go with the Motorola Atrix 4G. With the Lapdock and dual-core's it has a few features no other phone has. Plus the HTC Inspire 4G looks like the EVO and just about every other HTC phone out or coming out. I'd want something different from others.

I will never use the laptop dock so that's not a selling point for me. I have a work laptop card with a computer so I don't need to carry around the android thing also lol. but I do like how it is a true dual core!! thats bad ***!!

My vote goes to the Atrix. The laptop/webtop dock thing doesn't really sell the Atrix for me either...it's cool, but I wouldn't use it. But it does have the better screen, and I'd like the 4.0" better than the 4.3: Inspire, personally. Dual core is pretty awesome too. Motoblur is generally uglier than HTC Sense...but that can be fixed easily enough. Gotta say though, you're gonna be constantly plugging it in with 4G and dual core processing eating the battery.

So...HTC if you really want Sense and 4.3", Atrix otherwise.

Atrix or Why not Nexus s? the developers at XDA developers forums have great aftermarket support for that phone and the samsung galaxy s series. the nexus S is the true google experience with gingerbread! and guaranteed to get the fastest updates!

If it's a work phone, more than likely you won't be allowed to root it or put on a custom rom, etc.

I'd probably go with the Atrix since it's the "best" for the next month or so, and you're not paying for it anyway.

Even without a dock, I'd say the Atrix. It's dual-core, bigger battery, and better security with the fingerprint scanner. The only downside to the Atrix is being on AT&T. Like many of the 4g networks, the coverage is going to be spotty, and you're going to be on the 3g network most of the time.

I'd love to see the Atrix come to T-Mobile, but that's just a dream.
