I'm not going to make that decision until a few weeks after the Sensation drops. I'll wait to see reviews on...build quality...how fast it is...dev support etc...
I'm really happy with the g2x though...so, I won't be going anywhere unless the Sensation is clearly very superior. And I don't anticipate that...

I believe, even though they are saying they will not continue with locked bootloaders, that the Sensation's bootloader is indeed locked.
So it's going to come down to waiting for someone to unlock the bootloader, or waiting for HTC to do so, if they will do it for the device.
Personally, I won't be changing as I am not a fan of HTC devices at all.

Yeah I don't think the sensation will be unlocked and from what I have read it wont stand up to our g2xs but future htcs such as doubleshot and more will be unlocked bootloaders which kinda makes me have hope once again in HTC although I've always been a fan. Until the locked loaders and was very annoyed with the hd7 HTC lost points for that

dont buy a phone based on ****ED apps claiming to benchmark all phones the same (cuz they dont)
dont buy a phone because everyone is getting it
buy a phone that you will like and meets your standards
otherwise buy a iphone cuz the reasons you stated why you will wait are like me stating a phone is better when its a fu*king opinion

Ummm...someone is off their meds...
So, we need an English lesson...let's review...there are many definitions, but this is the one I was primarily using.
Review: (noun) An inspection or examination for the purpose of evaluation.
Reviews of real usage from real users are indispensable. The type you might find in the XDA forums....where issues like screen bleed, random reboots, locked bootloaders, etc... are reviewed and discussed. Spending $500 on anything without reviewing the subject is just...stupid.
If you need clarification as to what I'm talking about, next time ask before you open your ass and start with the insults.
As for an Iphone...I wouldn't touch one with your slimy green weenie.
Oh, and Locked Bootloader = Not Buying....Thanks for reviewing that issue for me Dameon.

ha ha! Aren't you glad he's gone? He was taking all the fun out of this forum...

Sensation is auto fail because of the screen tech. I can see my g2x in direct sunlight.
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel

Sensation most likely
Im outside of my 30 day buyers remorse period, however I have had it with the constant freezing and rebooting of the phone. I understand new devices come with bugs but seriously when its happening daily I dont consider it a bug I consider it broken. Tmo is giving me the run around about getting the phone returned but in the end the customer usually always wins.
Ill go back to my N1 until the Sensation comes out, who knows maybe the Sensation will suck and I can hold off until the SGS II is released. This all hinders on me actually staying with Tmo at this point. Verizon is looking better and better every day.

Htc is my favorite manufacturer. it's going to be near impossible to not be sitting at t-mobile when the store opens june 8th. If the Sensation becomes available before then online, I'll but it then, especially since htc announced their bootloaders will be unlocked.

Imo, the mt4g is one of the beast single core phones out. It's not really fair to compare it to a dual core. The hd2 is a best of a phone, especially considering it's age. Samsung phones feel cheap, and plasticy in my hands. I prefer to feel the weight of a phone.

It would be impossible for me to say what phone I would be getting next without using it. It's interesting how many people fall in love with devices based on specs and online reviews. Each handset comes with hidden features and bugs that usually make or break whether they are for you.
I am fortunate enough that I get my hands on most devices and get to take them for a spin for a few days, root them and try flashing some goodness. Most of my friends are tech junkies with more $ than common sense or skills so they just buy whatever is the latest and greatest, try to sell me on how awesome it is before they ever touch it, and then hand it off to me to root and install CWM or whatever is available for them. After purchasing my Vibrant I used at least 6 other handsets that were supposed to be better but had some sort of tradeoff I was unwilling to accept. Finally came the G2X and even though the tradeoff was getting rid of the amazing SAMOLED screen, which I still miss, the benefits were finally great enough to move on.
Now comes the Sensation, which looks great on paper (except for the internal storage), but is it really THAT much better than the G2X? I will reserve judgement until I get a crack at it, but it very much comforts me to know that some of the best developers on the net have a G2X, it is very easy to flash new roms as well as restore to stock condition, and because it launched with a vanilla OS it will/should receive updates sooner and more frequently. These last things mean a whole lot more to me than an extra LED for flash, .3" of screen, and .2Ghz. I also suspect that the Tegra II chipset will receive more love from the gaming community.

Why isn't there a Touchwiz port for the NS?

It can't be done?

Cause not many want it?

I do. I love the framework from my old epic, especially the camera w 720p recording. Its mostly why I chose this very close keyboardless version (epics bulk was embarressing). Being a stock dev phone is cool, but the more options the merrier.

Yes. The only exception was the N1 that added 720p but it was capped at 30 FPS i believe? Not sure.
But the NS is missing a hardware piece that allows 720p recording.
Edit:
Considering one of the lead Android devs said on his twitter that 720p recording is not available on the Nexus S due to hardware bandwidth limitation, I tend to believe him.

When i rooted my epic and used Simply AOSP ROM i didn't have a complaint besides the phones bulk. I wish it were as easy as ripping off the keyboard underneath
but yeah, the nexus is a much more fluid device all around, but the camera blows

I have had an Epic and now NS4G and i would not go back. TW framework made the Epic slow and the battery was atrocious in comparison to the NS. To each their own, but you aint takin me back there....IM NOT GOING BACK!!!!
Nexus may not be the best at any one thing, but the total package beats almost every other Android set on the market.

id say the nexus is a decent and very stable device. It excels at getting the job done without hesitation and i really do like that.
thinking about the 720p camera from the epic compared to this standard camera, i've come to conclude the nexus is a DEV phone and not ALL android phones are high-end with high-def capture ability. When you have a dev phone, you want to develop and test on it and be assured what you have created will work on virtually ALL android devices... so it makes sense why they would have done that. I just miss having amazingly detailed pictures a lil

Pretty much. I toy with my phone too much to care much for all the OEM overlay stuff. I had my Epic for three months and now my wife has it. It is a great phone and the pictures are very nice, but I do not take a ton of pics and normally have a point and shoot on me anyway, which does 720p and has great quality pics, so my phone is always the last resort.
I like the hassle free goodness of the Nexus and the abilty to "just get the update now". I am an impatient SOB more than a camera phone snob.

More than likely...One of the benefits of having four lines on my Sprint account is annual upgrades...I was offered a free upgrade to the EVO3D and am turning it down, because I want a dev phone. I will wait on Nexus 3.

I don't miss the buggyness of TW but you have to admit the added functionality it offers. I sold my SGS because I was so frustrated with the limitations and now that I have the NS I have to admit, this is the fastest phone I've ever used period. Even out of the box! I was a bit hesitant thinking it would be a re badged SGS but I am amazed what good software can do with hardware. Nothing like the SGS at all.

Is the Sensation Worth Getting?

I have the HD2 right now. Is the Sensation worth the upgrade? There is obviously not the HUGE dev community behind the Sensation in comparison to the HD2...

Easily worth the upgrade due to the much, much newer architecture. Even locked it has *AWESOME* written all over it.
There's no development on Sensation right now, as the means to unlock it has yet to be released.
This is (along with the Evo3D) HTC's new flagship, so it's bound to have proper development in time.

I would suggest you go for the Samsung galaxy s2 unless you are a die hard htc fan
I had a hero and HD7 and thought I d jump ship and see how samsung phones work
Quiet happy , won't say its all goody but you can easily update to new firmware without the need to root via a software called ODIN
Already on 2.3.4 and never been happy..
Also I think the camera is slightly better than sensation
Just my thoughts
If possible go in a store and play with them both, you may get a bit of any idea of which one you fall in love with

TMobile USA doesn't have the S II yet unfortunately, and to be honest, I'm not sure if they're even getting it. I could get it off NewEgg or eBay but from what I hear, all I will get is Edge, not 4G.

In a few months this phone will have a lot of roms. No need to change.

I don't have HD2 or owned one, so i don't know if it's big upgrade. Maybe someone else can answer that. But the Sensation and the EVO3D are the 2 new flagships of HTC. So there is a good chance there will be a huge community, and a lot of roms and other stuff for both of them.

Im not sure about the GSII but everyone knows about the Hercules. It might have a 4,5 inch display and a different chipset but nobody is really sure yet. Its actually rumored to have the Adreno 220 which will probably be a lot faster than it is on the Sensation due to the ****ty HTC drivers and not having a UI with useless eye candy.

Maybe so, but it all depends on how u use the phone. If all the apps and games are still running good, why upgrade. That would be my thought. It's all personal.
But if you want to upgrade, because you want to download stuff a second faster or load apps/games a second faster, or whatever reason, this phone will be a nice upgrade.

Yeah, I mean the HD2 supports 7 meg HSDPA, but I usually get about 2...The thing that attracts me, is the better camera, and dual core CPU.

I was using an Android flashed HD2 up until I dropped it last week and shattered the screen. I had ordered a new digitizer from fleabay but when it arrived it was damaged so I got impatient and ordered a new Sensation instead. I just got it today and, even though I was more than happy with the HD2 and had no plans to upgrade, I have to say I'm very glad I did. The HD2 was is a very awesome phone but after using the Sensation it now feels like it was v rough around the edges. The Sensation is silky smooth - and that's while we're still running on stock!!
I say upgrade. You'll not regret it.

Thanks for the input. And with TMobile planning to upgrade nationwide network speeds, maybe it's not a bad idea. Part of me still wants to wait to see if I can get the Galaxy S II...
Decisions decisions....

I've gone from HD2 > Sensation. Got the HD2 as soon as it came out.
The Sensation is fantastic...a huge leap from the HD2...obviously much faster/slicker...much nice to look at and hold, screen is so much better than the HD2 it's not funny.
Development will come soon

HTC sensation is one ****ty phone

I thought this would be a good upgrade from my Samsung galaxy S, but boy was I wrong.
1. it's heavier than SGS
2. it's thicker than SGS
3. the back cover is so difficulty to take off. WTF?
4. it's got a crappier screen, esp the black, and horrible viewing angle. Backlit is too bright, horrible LCD panel.
5. large pixels during video playback, WTF? Even my single core SGS can render video much better.
6. laggy as hell, my SGS is so much smoother.
7. horrible battery life, less than half of that of my SGS.
8. runs much hotter than SGS.
9. UI is so ****, can't even delete blank home screen pages, WFT seriously?
10. and cost twice as my SGS.
11. No internal storage, my SGS has 16GB. WTF?
Should have gone with SGS2, what was I thinking.
Will never get another HTC again.

Should have gone with SGS2, what was I thinking.
Will never get another HTC again.

obviosuly not the device for you then - guess that's why there are so many manufacturers and models.
you clearly didn't do much homework before your purchase though did you?
apart from battery life/and 'hotness', you would have discovered all the things you don't like by playing with one for 10 minutes.

This sucks for us.

How will development for our HOX be then? This phone looks to be a beast.

Most likely different processors.

Supposed to be tegra 3 based.

Oh, hey look, another HTC i-device. What are they gonna lock down on this one, date and time changes? Widget locations on the home screen? Contact pictures?
I love my HOX, but HTC's pussification by bowing to AT&T to lock down the device is absurd, and goes against everything their CEO promised the modding/dev community. This very well may be the last time I buy from HTC.

OP how does this suck for us exactly? This is how it goes. Either way, it looks like replacement for intl hox, not ours.

If this had a quad core s4 I'd be mad. However it doesn't.. so I'm not. :thumbup:

Are people seriously expecting upcoming phones to remain the same or.. be slower? Of course they will be faster and better than what we already have. It will have been at least 1/2 a year by the time this C2 comes out. Deal with it!

To be honest according to those specs I'd still prefer this version simply because of the battery sipping s4. I think tegra3 will shine in tablets.

That's what I was thinking international... But then I remembered the T-mobile rumor.
http://m.techcrunch.com/2012/07/25/htc-one-x-rumored-to-launch-on-t-mobile-come-september/
Still were divided into Tegra and Snapdragon camps anyway. Personally I prefer the battery life on the dual core platform especially considering how close in performance it can be. At this point I'm ready for any good news for HTC as they've been taking a beating in market share from Samsung lately.

It only sucks for people who NEED to be on the bleeding edge of technology. That was me a few years back until i realized i didn't have the resources to fund my expensive habit. So i tend to stay happy with the device i have now
But it does seem like HTC isn't staying so true to their word that they were gonna slow down the amount of devices. But this year is better than last year that's for sure.

I would totally buy that, except this is my last HTC device.

I'm in the same boat. I would love to unleash my inner tech whore and plunk down money like there's no tomorrow on phones but honestly there's not a damn thing wrong with my one X. It's got great build quality, a great camera, awesome battery life and AOKP. Pretty much all I can ask for in a phone. I figure it will last me at least a year and a half which is more than I can say for pretty much every other phone I've ever owned. Only phone to last me over a year was my old nokia e71 (which I keep as a backup) and that was before I was exposed to the wonderful world of Android on my nexus one.

Same thing happens every time a new device comes out.
I don't get it. You think they should hold off bringing out a new phone until you've had enough of yours?
Is called progression...

I think ( tho could be wrong ) the op meant it sucks in terms of support.
I do understand....I bought 2 Evo 3d's paid over a grand for them 6 months later the phone is dropped for the 4G and I did well to sell one for 175 bucks, where as had I bought iphones I would have not lost so much.
So here we have the hox currently one hot phone, you bring out the "rumored" phone and now the hox turns in to ugly friend that nobody wants to date. So value drops, development drops, and support drops.
So yeah I see how it sucks.

Funny how you bring up the iPhone thing. I always think the same.. I switched to ATT the day the HOX came out. And now while I love the phone I don't want to be stuck with a phone that won't have development. With what little devs we have we are doing great, but what incentive do they have to stay when better phones are popping up? And now were stuck with this phone hardly anybody wants to buy after f____ing ATT dropped the price to a measly 100 dollars. That was a damn quick price drop.

The linked article does not mention LTE. And I think Tegra chipsets with LTE are not coming until late this year, or even 2013? Without LTE, AT&T is not going to pick up this phone.
Looks to be an upgrade for international carriers, or a flagship for T-Mobile. Either way, that wouldn't affect our development much, if at all.
