I hadn't even paid attention to the Inspire at first. I was considering both the Atrix, and the Captivate (which is kind of old, I know). The Atrix blew me away when I saw the laptop dock etc, but apart from that and the semi-impressive hardware, I didn't really have any other reason that I had to have it. Once the price for the laptop dock was revealed, I had almost 100% decided to get a Captivate since A) I could get it right away (instant gratification ftw.) B) A coworker had one and i spent forever messing with it and was really impressed and C) it's cheaper.
The morning before I was going to get my new phone, I happened upon a review for the captivate and at the bottom it had a link to the Inspire, I read that, watched vids on the Inspire, and was blown away. The $99 price tag via ATT sealed the deal.
No regrets whatsoever here. The phone is amazing. I've had it for 1 day and I don't miss my iPhone a bit.
