HSPA+ Capable HTC Inspire 4G Hitting AT&T On February 13th For Just $99

AT&T has just announced that their Desire HD variant, the HTC Inspire 4G, will be available starting on February 13th. The most impressive part about this is that it'll cost just $99.99 on a 2-year contract. Of course, if you want HSPA+ speeds you're going to have to cough up quite a bit of money every month. If you're interested, this smartphone packs a 4.3-inch WVGA display, a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, an 8MP rear-facing camera, a unibody aluminum design, and Android 2.2.

AT&T To Release the HTC Inspire 4G On February 13th For $99?

There's a piece of unconfirmed news regarding AT&T's HTC Inspire 4G that will be hitting their line-up in the near future. According to one of PocketNow's sources, this HSPA+ capable Android handset will be launching on February 13th for $99.99 on a 2-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. If this is true then everyone should know why. It's because their biggest competitor, Verizon, will be getting the iPhone 4 a few days before they launch this one. For $99.99 I think the Inspire 4G on AT&T is a better buy than the Verizon iPhone 4 since it only has CDMA 3G connectivity - no LTE 4G.

AT&T Has 20 4G Devices and 12 Android Phones For 2011; LTE (4G) Capable iPhone Launching In 2012

AT&T's CEO Ralph de la Vega took the stage at CES today and mentioned a few important things. He officially introduced the Motorola Atrix 4G and the HTC Inspire 4G but also briefly mentioned that a 4G (LTE-capable) iPhone would be hitting their network next year (2012). That shatters all of the rumours about one launching this year but there could always be one with HSPA+ connectivity when Apple announces the next iPhone in June. Another highlight is that AT&T plans to launch twenty new 4G devices this year and this includes modems, mobile hotspots and, of course, phones. Check out what else BGR picked up below.

• AT&T is accelerating its LTE deployment — it will launch LTE later this year and complete its deployment by 2013
• HSPA+ provides “4G speeds,” and is already widely deployed
• 20 new 4G devices will be introduced this year including modems, mobile hotspots and phones
• De la Vega said AT&T will launch a 4G LTE-compatible Apple iPhone next year
• Motorola ATRIX 4G launches this year: 4G LTE, Android OS, 1GHz dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 1930 mAh battery, 10.9mm thick, HTML5 support
• The ATRIX 4G has a laptop dock that basically turns the phone into a full-sized laptop — very weird, very intriguing — and a home entertainment dock
• HTC Inspire 4G: new HTC Sense UI, HTCSense.com support, 4.3-inch display, Android 2.2 OS, physical location awareness (phone rings louder when in a pocket or bag, then quiets when taken out)

Update: According to Engadget, AT&T has officially mentioned that they are planning to launch twelve Android devices this year. We just heard about three of them, so that's only a quarter of what they have in store for us.

HTC Inspire 4G Gets Officially Announced For AT&T, Launching With HSPA+ -- Hitting Telus Too!

It looks like the HTC Inspire 4G that we heard about last night has just bit made official. This handset is sporting a 4.3-inch display and definitely looks like the Desire HD with Android along with the new and improved Sense UI. Specs are still pretty much unknown right now but it's set for AT&T in the USA with HSPA+ connectivity.

Update: Coming from Slash Gear is word that the Inspire 4G features a Super Clear LCD display, a 1GHz CPU, an 8MP rear-facing camera with HD video recording, an aluminum body, GPS, WiFi / Bluetooth support, and Android 2.2. This will be launching in Q1 which means a few weeks from now.

Update: According to Unwired View, this smartphone will also be hitting Telus in Canada! Looks like Rogers is the only one without a 4G phone now - probably because their network isn't ready yet.

Verizon and AT&T 4G Devices Shown Off In An Ad; Includes HTC Thunderbolt and Inspire 4G

Thanks to a full-page ad in the latest edition of the Rolling Stone we now know that the Verizon-bound HTC handset is confirmed to be the Thunderbolt. Of course, this will have 4G (LTE) capabilities and sports a design very similar to the Desire HD which is a great thing. This should be available soon.

That's not all though. The ad also shows off a 4G device for AT&T, the HTC Inspire 4G. This one is also clearly running Android along with the Sense UI. This is likely have just HSPA+ connectivity on-board so hopefully this hits Bell or Telus in Canada because they've had their HSPA+ network up and running for over a year now. Of course, this isn't true 4G, but T-Mobile USA is doing the same thing with their marketing. Specs are unknown for this one right now, but it could be similar to the Thunderbolt. You can look out for both devices to be announced in the very near future.
