HTC Inspire, AT&T's first 4G phone

The HTC Inspire 4G, available from AT&T for $100 with a two-year contract and after rebates, is that carrier's first foray into the murky waters of 4G technology, which promises the fastest downloads over a cellular network.

As with T-Mobile, the "4G" technology AT&T currently deploys is actually HSDPA+, which is essentially a fast lane on the carriers' existing network.Besides 4G network capability, the phone has a gargantuan 4.3-inch, high-resolution touch-screen display; an 8-megapixel camera with HD-recording capability; a 1-GHz Snapdragon processor; and access to some new HTC services.
