The photos of the heavily-rumored HTC Pyramid are beginning to surface, and they look beautiful!
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-pyramid-detailed-as-honeycomb-phone-20110315/#
MODS: I know that this is technically not the right section to post this, but a lot of MT4G users have been talking about this phone as the logical successor to the MT4G and will be interested to see these photos.
Phone looks badass!
It sure does! It reminds me of the best design elements of Nexus One and Desire HD.
The thing that threw me off is the fact that the leaked description mentioned a 1.2 gHz processor, but nothing about a dual core. Also, Honeycomb on a phone? Hmmmm.....
that looks really nice but it also kinda makes me mad to see our phone will be outdated within a few months...maybe i will craigslist my current one? (probably not but i will if development stops....
NOTE TO OP: how about a poll on who is switching?
Forget LGX2 I'm definitely waiting for this ..

Am I the only one around here that would rather have a slightly smaller screen? Looks like they've done everything they can to make the bezel as small as possible to make the overall phone smaller, but a 4" screen is a 4" screen.
I would've rathered physical keys at the bottom. If the black area on the back is rubber, I can see it attracting a lot of lint, but if its something like the back of the mt4g, then thats great. I hope the camera lense is more inverted tho, this way when I place the phone down the lense don't get scuffed. I also hope the back corners arent that rounded like the ipod touch, I don't mind the curves on the side corners but keep the back staight and not slanted in to the corners.
Just my .02
I am so switching over. I can not wait. I have another upgrade waiting so I'll use that and get the Pyramid. I can NOT wait! I hope it comes out within 2 months. I am really getting bored of the myTouch and hate the design of it.
Sexyyy, the back that is lol (dont even know if thats funny but it sounds weird when i say it so...)
The front is kinda plain but more ugly. guess they couldnt really do much with it. Think im sticking with my MT4G. in no real need to "upgrade". i more just like the big screen and camera. honeycomb is ehh right now but it might change. I probably need more reasons to change. either way still pretty happy with my MT
Looks pretty slick, but can't really tell till I can feel it in the hands.
Ill probably make the switch, kinda bored with the mytouch. May trade for the g2 , or hold off for the pyramid.

The poll is up!
I don't think that the MT4G will be outdated when the Pyramid is released. Unless app devs begin developing exclusively for phones whose specs are better than those of the MT4G, it'll stick around for a while.
I hope not neither but still the development for this phone is still slow. About to go on to a Windows 7 phone, been playing with one at Bestbuy and it looks pretty smooth and nice.
I'm definitely getting this bad boy if it comes to tmo

This thing is ugly, I do not like the look of this silver-brown mashup... And the "photos" pretty much look like photoshopped..
I think this is where I will draw the line with my Nexus S
Think the only thing that would stop me from getting this is if that 4.3 made it bigger over all then my mytouch and if it's not going to be on t mobile.

I thought it was supposed to have a dual-core cpu?
Don't expect HTC to come out with dual core. By years end quad core will be out. HTC should most likely go for that. Some article I read in the sense gingerbread leak they found traces of the omap processor which is most likely the omap5 which pretty much is beast compared to the a5.

Why do they keep saying Honeycomb? Honeycomb + Gingerbread = IceCream, Duh...
Google even said so.
But I think I'll wait for IceCream to hit my Glacier.

So I have a G2x sitting in my shopping cart on tmo(not upgrading paying outright so no contract extenstion) and I'm faced with a huge choice. Do I buy the LG now or wait for the sensation? Like sense but always run cm for speed so every phone that I had that came with sense stock always was replaced with cm. There are pros and cons to both phones
htc sensation:better display and bigger(I actually like smaller screens)
g2x: more internal memory but less ram
htc is 1.2ghx and the g2x is 1.
It's such a hard choice to make. So my question is for those of you who got the g2x why did you get it instead of waiting for the sensation? What reasons did you have on going with the g2x as opposed to waiting for the htc? I really dont know if I should get the g2x or wait it out a bit. I am itching to hit that "complete order" button on the g2x though
I'd be coming from a mytouch 4g

I don't own a G2X, only played with one alongside my NS for a bit. I don't really know that you're going to notice a huge difference in speed coming from your Glacier on CM7 at 1.5ghz ...it's a really fast phone. Are there some other features you feel like your missing with the Glacier that you could get from the G2X?
Edit: I don't have a G2x in my cart, but I'm itching too as well...!
I was waiting for the Sensation....but I only made it 4 hours on the 15th before giving in and ordering online.
Only thing I like better about the sensation is the qHD display...but the G2X screen is still nice.
I also didnt want a huge screen phone that hardly fits in your pocket, the G2X size is good.
Well, I guess I'll just list my reasons out.
1. I, like you, don't like 4.3" screens, 4" is perfect for me and the display on the G2X is fantastic, even at 800x480 resolution.
2. I figured the .2 difference in ghz wasn't a big deal considering the resolution difference in the phones, 960x480 vs 800x480. As we've all seen, the G2X smokes the Atrix because of resolution alone, despite the 512mb ram difference.
3. Ram isn't going to make the phone run any better as we've already seen in Atrix vs G2X. It will help if your running tons of intensive apps at once, but it shouldn't be making much a difference 90% of the time.
4. A lot of devs are on the fence on supporting the sensation due to locked bootloaders. Even Cyanogen has said that they may not be supporting because of that very issue. And dev support is VERY important to me.
5. HDMI Mirroring on the G2X. This feature may also be on the sensation, but I haven't heard of it yet.
In all, I'm very happy I got the G2X. It runs like a champ and that's on Froyo. I can't wait till Cyanogen7 comes out.
P.S. The Optimus 2X has already been overclocked to 1.3 and 1.4 ghz if that means anything to you.
Hope this helps man. Good luck with whatever you get.
I never want a phone that has Sense on it.
Simple choice.
Well I got it because I'm a phone junkie. And I will be getting the sensation as soon as it drops. The G2x is a great phone much better than the vibrant and when it get GB it will be better than the nexus s.

Thanks for that man! Is that true that Cyanogen really might not support the sensation? Dev support is also very important to me. I never rely on carriers, always the community. I too am iffy about a 4.3 inch screen. I think my screen on my mt4g is pretty big enough for me especially since I have two android tablets for when I need a bigger screen android experience

Every sense phone I have had has only had sense on it for a first few minutes out of the box. I love sense for it's eye candy but it's such a resource hog. So I always replace sense with CM
Overall you guys are happy with the g2x? build quality is solid? any issues like bad displays or any nonsense like that?
Im in the same boat. im kinda leaning towards waiting though. The g2x is an awesome device but the larger and higher res screen on the sensation is enough to make me hold off.

if this is indeed true then i would get the g2x also. higher res screen (960x540) is nice but not as important as dev support. Btw, where did you read that cyanogen might not support it?
I'm still going back and forth if I'm going to order it or wait.. part of me really wants to just click that order button.. god I think I've made much more important decisions quicker than this one..

He said it on his Twitter. HTC already announced it will have a locked boot loader. Most devs aren't going to deal with that ****. Poor decision on HTC's part because Samsung has already announced there Galaxy S II will be wide open.

Honestly the g2x is an amazing device and couldn't see myself using the sensation for the sole reason of just sense. I had a mytouch 4g for about 2 days and returned it for the g2 all because of sense. Now from the g2 I'm on the g2x and couldn't be happier. It's a choice you have to make but to completely honest it will be one you won't regret
Sent from my G2x using XDA Premium App
So all these hours that I've been deciding... I decided to do it. It was in stock when I first put it in my cart, when I went to check out it said it wasnt available for immediate shipment. I looked at the main site and sure enough, it was out of stock Guess I will be calling the closest store in the AM seeing if they have any in stock. After looking at some vids of the sensation I think it's just too big for me. I think the biggest I would go is 4" Hope I can pick one up tomorrow
Hopefully! I'll tell you now my store was pretty well stocked and I was there about 2 hours after they opened. Funny thing is the sametime I was going in I counted about 5 or 6 other people going in for the same thing...good luck! =P

I have a mt4g and I love it. I havent had sense on it....ever. lol The first thing I did when I got it was take it out of the box, root it, installed cwr and then flashed cm 7. I really do like the eye candy of sense but I like my device to be snappy and sense doesnt usually run snappy

I'm personally waiting on the sensation I have a g2x its a nice phone I only use it for HDMI mirroring only use for me. I'm not scared of lock bootloader just be harder to crack. People said the g2 was unhackable and look at it now. Motorola signs thiers and uses encryption. The thunderbolt was hacked as well. If their is enough support it will be broken. Alot of developers are going still get this phone. The evo3d will be hacked as well once either phone is hacked well have an opening.

Bye. My touch 4g, it's been almost a year, we had an awesome run, and your still one of my favorites, but Ive moved on to the g2x, and I haven't had any of the problems other are experiencing , this is a pretty awesome phone and I don't regret it, but if a new mytouch from HTC comes out ill be sure to go with that, until then ill be rocking the g2x.

That is one of the phones I am contemplating jumping ship for, how is LGs UI? You'll have to give a small review if you don't mind. Not sure if I want to go G2X or Sensation. Never owned an LG but I loooove HTC. Either way, good luck with the new phone.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Thanks guys, as for the phone itself its awesome I'm running bionix2, so I didn't really get accustomed to the stock UI, the screen itself is larger so typing is easier, and the colors seem allot deeper, I do miss my led notification light but that can be replaced with mods to the capasitive buttons (someone will come up with that), and the sensation is actually running a older processor arm a8 clocked at 1.2ghz vs the g2x arm a9 processer at 1ghz, so its actually better to get the g2x, I haven't had any problems and the update will fix any bugs, and by the time the sensation comes out the update will be released so either way I'm good.

I've been thinking of doing the same. I'm so fed up with HTC's lack of quality control that I've been looking at picking up a used Vibrant.
I love this device but after 7 phones, FINALLY getting a perfect phone and now a few months later having dust under the screen the romance is gone.
Let us know how it goes with the g2x. Maybe when the sensation comes out I'll give HTC another chance.

I feel EXACTLY the same way. Took my 5 phones to get to my perfect good screen then one month later dust under the top left corner of my screen.... And it's just getting worse. I love HTC but they quality control is horrendous. I don't care what people say about Samsung and their quality, but they make damn god phone's whether it's plastic or not. I've been trying to trade my phone for a Nexus S just because of this.
No problems here...
This is very interesting to read the users on this forum have exchanged their MT4G seven times. I have had absolutely no problems with my phone and I purchased it when it was released.

I got mine when it came out and it has the crap screen, but that was the only problem. But a few weeks ago i got a deal on one i couldn't pass on,with the good screen. I might sell that one, but i got a bad habit of keeping all my phones. Lol
I agree with the OP too, don't get the sensation. The CPU in it is actually outdated and QualComm already has a Quad-Core CPU in the works. Go with a Mali device or Tegra 2/3 .
G2x is quality control isn't that good either. My G2x has the worst LCD I've ever seen. It bleeds from all 4 corners and the battery only last 8 hours. I am running my own aosp rom.

So definitely no Samsung products for you, since they make more differentiating products than any manufacturer. The G2x is having problems, just go look at their forums, but a patch is coming out soon that should alleviate the problems, except for the LCD bleeding.
I have to say, a ton of LG Optimus Ts get sold I have never had to do troubleshooting on one. I would say most calls are about HTC or Motorola products. In my own personal experience of troubleshooting, I'd say the manufacturers that make many different products seem to have the least problem phones, when compared to the phone only manufacturers.

You are correct. I would not own a samsung phone either...they should stick with televisions. Also, look at the time the G2X came out. To think that it was worth upgrading from the glacier with the next wave of great phones coming out shortly is just silly.

The people with a good G2x, which is most, absolutely love their phone and the patch should fix the rest. Remember HTC made the HD2 and Motorola made the Cliq & Cliq XT. I cringe when I hear someone having a problem and I know exactly which line has the problem because one of the 3 phones above are the culprit. 1
Even with the G2x issues, LG and Samsung have a better track record than Motorola and HTC is problems with phones.
That may be true, they may love their phones. But to buy the G2X when the next big wave is about to come out makes no sense to me whatsoever. It is like purchasing a 2010 Ferrari a month before the 2011 comes out. (I use that example because smart phones are usually the same price, and that is a car where the price is not an issue). And as for the quality issue, I have never had an issue whatsoever with an HTC phone. I am a firm believer that 99% of the issues are user related. Like the guy who had 7 Mt4G's that wouldn't wake up on the stock ROM..c'mon now..
I loved HTC until recently. Had a flawless mt3g for almost a year and sold it for exactly what I paid for it. Here's the history with my glaciers.
1. Dust under screen.
2. Mushy power button and bad screen.
3. Bad screen.
4. Loud click from bottom.
5. Less loud click.
6. Keeper.
Three months later I have massive dust under screen.
7. Bad screen.
8. Mushy power button, scuffed up, bad emmc chip.
9. Bad screen.
At this point I gave up. I'm staying with #6 and shopping for a used Vibrant.

Like I said, you may be right. Maybe I just got lucky to get a good phone. I have had absolutely no issues. Good screen, good emmc chip, no dust under screen. I just associate LG with crappy products. I still would have waited for the Sensation.

What phones are coming out that outdo it? The G2x will get 2.3 very soon and has a tegra 2 processor that won't be outdone by the Sensation's chip. It may be faster processing speed(200Mhz) but many think the Tegra 2 processor is still faster than the Qualcomm.
You'll choose the Sensation if you want a 4.3" screen and the G2x if you want a 4" screen. They're made for different people, with speed and abilities being pretty well equal. The next jump won't happen until this fall with the quad-core processors.
this vid is the same experience i had with the sensation and thats why i got rid of it! watch the video , and man talk about screen bleed! check out 1:42 i am glad to own a g2x i love this device, there is too much complaining going on. this phone is definitely the baddest

I agree, there were too many people whining about the screen bleed that was never noticeable in normal use. Sensation has no screen bleed but like I said when it first came out, the screen looked washed out to me and this video just confirms it. I never gave up on my g2x and I am glad I stuck it out.

All the whining was half the reason I got a sensation, but three sensations later I was begging for my g2x back..
I'll admit there is a bad batch, but its worth exchanging till you get a good one..
This phone should hold me over till quad core although getting the sgs2 probably, but I still see this being my main phone.
This phone is a ****ing beast for sure..

I feel like a troll but your comment makes no sense, how would other people's whining make you get rid of something that you liked? Sorry it bugs me when people complain about people whining when this phone has proven to be very inconsistent. Other people's issues should have had zero effect on your decision to keep your phone.

Lmfaoooo g2x ftmfwwwww for real though, I tried to like the sensation but damn I needed wifi lol and fast swypes...
My wife hasthe sensation and while I think its one of the better phones I am glad I stuck with my G2x also. Screen bleed is pretty bad and battery life is way worse than the G2X. My main problem is how flemsy it feels. The back of the phone comes all the way off to get to the battery which leaves a bunch of hollow space between the top cover and screen. So when making screen solection the phone smooshes like a sponge and creeks lol. The [email protected] feels like a much firmer phone imo.

My main problem is how flemsy it feels. The back of the phone comes all the way off to get to the battery which leaves a bunch of hollow space between the top cover and screen. So when making screen solection the phone smooshes like a sponge and creeks lol. The [email protected] feels like a much firmer phone imo.

Unibody designs are a terable idea and contribute to its poor WiFi performance. Both HTC and LG have been added to my list of manufacturers I will not buy from for atleast a year. Neither one of them know how to optimize or create drivers for their devices. To give you a little hint of how much Sense brings down the hardware on the Sensation.....After deleting Sense and the rest of the bloatware and running a custom ROM, my Quadrant score jumped to a score over 3000. Really the only manufacture UI that doesn't lag a phone out is Touch Wiz. I give props to Samsung for that.

Yea I agree I mean I like where HTC is going with there style, but with bad software or should I say software that's not optimized they wont sell, Samsung on the other hand was in the same boat a year ago maybe a little longer, and look at them now.....I absolutely can't wait to get my hands on the Hercules
I had the sensation for 2 days before realizing what a waste of time it was... I've never been more satisfied with a device then I am with my g2x....

I went to my local Tmo store fully intending to purchase the Sensation off contract. I wanted the larger screen and higher resolution. The crappy screen quality was a major turn off. I visited four different stores and the result was the same. Washed out blacks and poor color. Combined with all the other major issues the Sensation has, why would anyone switch? It is slower and the quality flat out sucks. Doing a little reading on Sensation forum tells me HTC is outsourcing their screens to the cheapest, crappiest manufactures available. HTC screwed up big time by going cheap on the screen quality.
HTC Sensation = fail
I hope they get it together because I loved my HD2 and expected better from HTC.
Isn't it a qhd screen? I came from att and an atrix which had a qhd screen...while the resolution was a lil better it was a crappy screen. Washed out. Color reproduction was terrible. Yellow looked brown. Coming from a super amoled it was very disappointing. I would have to say I think the ISP display is the way to go. It has a good balance of color and brightness. Black levels are not as good as amoled but at least whites are white and not yellow

I don't mind the screen at all. I was one of the lucky ones who got the Sharp display and not the Acer display that most people are seeing. The Sharp display is much better. Although, I really could care less about contrast or color reproduction on my 4 inch display. Where I do care about contrast is my 55 inch LED TV. I care more about text clarity on my cell phone since there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not reading blogs, ebooks, email, SMS and websites. In fact, after looking at my Sensations display for a couple days, my G2X display appears blurry with jagged text.
The only thing I absolutely hate about this phone is Sense. Which is exactly why I deteleted it. However, even when Sense was there, the Sensation still loaded and interacted with apps faster than my G2X and the gamd I play on a regular basis looked better as well.
In the end, I chose to use the phone that I liked better. I tried liking the G2X since I spent money on it and got the Sensation for free but I just couldn't anymore.
I was about to go back to the G2X because the phones UI lagged with Sense but then it got S-Off and after Sense was removed, the phones UI became as fast as my G2X.

I might wait till I find someone who gets sick if it and wants to trade for MT sensation. Lol

HTC build quality is much better, plus I'm an HTC loyalist. HTC phones always feel more solid and sturdy than the plasticky samsung phones. They're too light weight almost and feel like I could break them with my bear hands. I like the aluminum frame of the Sensation. I'm very happy with my sensation. SAMOLED screens are better in most cases, but I had a friend who owned a vibrant and that screen had an annoying blue tinge, as do most of the samoled screens I think. The screen I have has very pure whites and surprisingly dark blacks, and is fine in sunlight, especially compared to my old phone. I can read texts just fine in bright daylight, this screen is very bright. Plus the resolution is higher. I love the qHD screen.

Please elaborate how it would "smoke" the sensation hardware wise.
Sgs2 is Samsung galaxy uhh woops. Its sg2 lol.
The sgs4g was the virbrant plus flash and 4g. Single core.
Sg2 is dual core.
I like sense and I have feeling sense will only.get faster with upcoming roms but if it doesn't seem to get much better I'm definetly going sg2.
I'm not saying sense roms are slow now. They are really fast. Just not lightening fast.

Why...
Are people on here so addicted to new tech that they will jump to another phone as soon as a new one comes out?
I got the phone I wanted on a 2yr contract knowing that in less than 6m it would be surpassed by something newer but not neccessarily better.
I like the Sensation and can't see me changing for the S2 espec as I would not be able to cover the cost of a sim-free version.
If I had wanted the S2 I would have got it and then lived with it for the life of my contract
The Sensation is not a perfect phone, but it's a darn good one (better than the iphone 3g) I came from.
I dont think the phone will be any faster than the sensation considering its not shipping with the exynos SOC/
So outta curiosity how truly good is cyanogenmod? Someone who really knows his stuff.
Cause I tried it on sensation just a bit ago and although yea it is quick it didn't blow me away. Went right back to sense.
Also deriving from what I mentikned up there I saw someone post something about a new nexus s being faster then cyanogenmod??
I mention this because one of my friends whose a girl and knows nkthig about phones had soooo much crap on the nexus s. It was the sprint version I believe. And with like three messaging apps all running, many different browsers, and seriusly a whole lotta crap the phone was sooooo fast.
I literally was stunned. It was stock and every single thing I did on it was instantaneous.
And u know when u see bunch of stuff in notification bar and u just kinda know it ll lag a bit. I felt that but was surprised with zero lag.
It sadly has me thinking...

The Sensation has a higher resolution screen, and that hits performance because the phone has to push data to more pixels; also the Sensation and SG2 have similar processors (as you pointed out) but the Sensation runs at 1.2 MHz and the SG2 runs at 1.5 MHz.
ROMs aside, the SG2 is faster on paper.

I agree with you I have always like the HTC build quality but performance wise they have been lacking and the debacle the caused with the so called Bootloader unlock then say screw you no warranty was the icing on the cake. I came from a Evo 4g to the Sensation to the Epic 4G Touch resolution not a problem for me. the performance and smoothness of the OS what's going to appeal to the OS faithful that may come running seeing that Apple decided to give them nothing. this year basically all this hype and they got what would be a 3GS to the 4g lol.

well i got play with the Amaze a couple days ago and i can tell you for a fact that the processor is definately snappier in stock form , i was getting 2700 quadrant scores with it stock , now with that said i think the SGS2 will be alot faster running a more vanilla android, I am planning on getting a SGS2 and i cant believe im even saying that ,reason being is that the sensation is falling apart on me , the glass coverig my camera lens fell out and that wasnt a big deal to me until the rocker on the volume button fell off , now i dont know if flashing three thousand times already has something to do with it but im a little dissapointed by that. all being said i just want a bigger screen and thats the main reason plus it gets the better processor and front camera
Not me
I wanted an SGS2 bad enough to almost buy one from overseas unlocked when they first hit the market. But since Samsung decided to release it here last, there are new phones coming out before the end of the year that by far surpass the SGS2. America is the largest consumer of High-end smart phones (yes, i researched it) mainly because we constantly upgrade to the newest and best. Samsung was stupid to release it here last. If someone gave me an SGS2 in trade i'd do it, but it's not worth sinking more cash into a new SGS2 when quad-core is literally right around the corner. Plus phones like the Sharp Aquas and the Note (can't remember which company is making it) will be out in a few months and they surpass the SGS2 in speed, display, screen size, etc. (and these aren't event quad-core as far as the specs ive seen, but still better than the SGS2).
Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I'll be waiting for a Quad-core device with Ice Cream Sandwich. Plus, the PS vita is quad-core and you can make calls from it Better than PS3 graphics in the palm of my hand! Talk about a gaming device! hahahahah
So, the Sensation has been out for a while and for me it has not lived up to my expectations. ICS is right around the corner for me but I'm sure it will make things somewhat more bearable until I do upgrade.
What is everyone planning on replacing their Sensation with?
Yesterday, I got to mess around with the Galaxy Note. All I have to say about that phone is that it is obscenely big. I love it. It's the only phone out now that is something truly different. Too bad it's AT&T.
The only other thing that is currently for sale is the Galaxy Nexus. Other than the fact that it's running ICS there isn't much to get excited about. I think I'm going to just keep my Sensation till the New Nexus phone is released and get on that one early.
I'm not a fan of Samsung's phones or touchwiz but I feel like HTC is just making phones while Samsung is experimenting with new forms and new ideas. If Cyanogemod 9 was out and if it were available on Tmo I'd be all over the Note.
What are you hoping to replace your Sensation with?
after so much Android, I'd like to try an iPhone or a WP7 device. then again I have my XE since one week only so I'm still in love
Replacing it now with Galaxy Nexus, ordered international version on dailysteals. I do not need the latest and greatest but want to have no skins and reliable software. I had custom ROMs since G1 but want to see how reliable is original Google software on hardware they test it with.
Sensation will go to DW who will replace her Vibrant.
Galaxy Note.
Or it's future WP7 equivalent because I can.
I'd go for the next iPhone only if it will have a 4" display. I really want to get myself an iPhone and see for myself what's all the fuss about.
But if Jellybean will be as innovative as ICS was when it launched I will definitely stay with Android and go for the next Nexus.

I really love the look of new Sony xperias....specially the bottom strip....but i think i need to sacrifice on performance and available rom options if i wanna go with Sony.
Im keeping my sensation for a good while the nexus doesn't worth it 3hours screen on time max bad reception camera isn't great however great display and i have ics on my phone so the gnex isnt so special ...
Will get xperia s once it comes out for canada

On the contrary! As someone else said, sony have become very dev friendly and seem committed to updates. Most xperia phones are getting CM builds too.
That being said I'm loyal to HTC for now - sense is the best skin IMO and AOSP also sick and I have the option of both! While the one series looks sick, I think the sensation will do me fine for at least another year. As of right now quad-core isn't a necessity for me... but we'll see

Wherever the developers go, and some of the best stick with HTC phones. Prolly gonna end up with the ATT One X if TMo doesn't get it.
I just got my sensation. To be honest, in my opinion, companies comes out with every new versions of everything. But all in all, they're all the same. I was gonna wait for the HTC One S, but I figured, .3 difference on speed, just a little better on screen res. and beats? Not much of a difference, the sensation alone is fast and snappy, there is no reason for me to get anything high end because the sensation itself is a good device that pretty much do all the work. That's just me though AND, the sensation has a lot of love from the DEVs.

My personal experience is contrary.
My colleagues at work have iphones 4s. They often take photos for documentation. Their pics are generally ok for a phone camera but nothing special.
From what I see on a nearly daily base in real world, iphone photos are in no way superior to the pics I took with my X10i or take with my Sensation, which I think look remarkably clear.
Iphones produce exactly the same amount of crap as other phone cameras do.
Be warned ;-)
