What's in the Box
HTC Inspire 4G handset, rechargeable battery, charger, 8 GB SD card, USB cable, quick start guide
This phone runs on AT&T's dual-band 850/1900 MHz 4G network (UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+), and with HSPA+ you'll experience mobile data speeds up to 4x faster than ordinary mobile broadband--up to approximately 6 Mbps (download). AT&T has deployed HSPA+ to virtually 100 percent of its mobile broadband network, which enables 4G speeds when combined with enhanced backhaul (via Ethernet or fiber).
Backhaul is one of the major pieces of a telecommunications network. Think of it as the limbs connecting AT&T's cell towers with AT&T's backbone network that provides access to the Internet.
Coming later in 2011, AT&T will deliver a second layer of 4G network called LTE (Long Term Evolution) that is even faster than HSPA+ speeds.
In areas where either AT&T's 3G or 4G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways.
Note: AT&T's 4G mobile broadband coverage is not available in all areas. 4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul; availability increasing with ongoing backhaul deployment.
March through your day with confidence by keeping the HTC Inspire 4G Unlocked GSM Cell Phone by your side. Make an endless number of phone calls and access emails, text messages and more with one or two clicks via the larger-than-life 4.3-inch touchscreen display. With an 8-megapixel integrated camera, you’ll be able to capture such stunning pictures that will leave everybody speechless at its infinite high-quality capability. Enjoy fun camera features like the dual-LED flash and Face Detection to help you get that perfect shot!
