Epic winning. http://goo.gl/Hm49k

Yeah, all good any dandy except now I have a reason to be envious of people with the newer phones

Good news.... It won't be a hassle rooting future phones.

Unfortunately the first shipment of that phone will most likely still have a locked bootloader :-(
Maybe HTC will give us the key tho?¿?¿

HTC is now the manufacturer to beat. Who else provides such a great product all the while supporting the customer/development communities. HTC is going to have many Motorola and Samsung converts. The Sensation (maybe not first gen) is looking better and better.

I was an HTC fan from day one.. now I will never even THINK of buying another mfg's phone.

Inspire 4G to Atrix

Sold my Inspire not too long ago (I fell prey to the allure of the dual core Motorola Atrix).
Worst... decision... EVER!!!
Although it had the dual core it actually felt slower and more clunky overall than the Inspire. I was running GingerBlur which helped as it basically removed MotoBlur but itstill felt like a real step backwards. HDMI was kind of a novelty although I never used it. The only thing in Moto's favour was battery life. For me, I prefer quality over quantity .
Krisbo
If u read up on this matter, specifically other inspire owners doing the same thing, you would have an overwhelming amount of first hand accounts coming to the same conclusion... the atrix is a fail of a phone and its not worth it. Specs doesn't make the phone. It's the overall experience that does. Some people have to find out the hard way I guess. My advice... switch back to the inspire.

I just re-read my post, forgot to mention that I received an Inspire in the mail today . As soon as it booted it up I was much happier than I ever was with the Atrix.

Lmao Look at their source, pocketnow, who were the first show those specs along with the HTC Lead as well. Seriously though, I like what I see about the Holiday. Glad I still get my upgrade in Dec, since I went off-contract for this phone to get rid of the p.o.s. Crapsung a777. When Dec comes, hello Holiday, or whatever they will call it when they "officially" announce it.

Google buying Motorola

Wow
Does this increase the possibility of Motorola making the next Nexus phone after Prime?
not sure what the relevance to the HTC sensation this has to be fair...
I just read this on CNN.com. Although it doesn't really have anything to do with HTC, it's still a very interesting piece of tech news. We don't know how this will affect Motorola's practices, but it's likely that bootloaders will be unlocked and Google will release future reference phones (Nexus) through the Motorola brand.
I'll be keeping an eye on further developments. Could there be a Motorola in my future?
Quite sure that won't change much in relation to OEMs. It's a defensive move (17k patents).
As long as they don't shut Moto Down like apple did Lala... I dought they will anyway but u don't know

In all honesty,i don't even have a Sensation. I have the Evo 3d. I read it in the 3d general forum.
Because our phones are so similar I spend a lot of time reading about the awesome stuff your devs are doing. I was only trying to let you know whats up with Android.
Btw.. you all have a Beautiful work of art in your hands. The Sensation looks like a wonderful device. I hope the development guys go back and forth between the sensation and 3d . Maybe the answers to any flaws in the devices can be worked out together ..(ie touchscreen).

Contemplated the iPhone, but I don't think i can put up with edge.
Sent from my Sensation
yeah, I was in the same boat.
I was greatly anticipating Iphone 5 but, it turned out it did...
if the 4s came out with a bigger screen and larger ram I might still have thought about the switch.
of course I would have jailbroken it as soon as I got it to liven it up a bit.
iOS as it is is a pretty much a snorefest.
but now with ICS coming, think I'm sticking with Android.
have too much invested in Google's products anyway.
anyway, good luck with it mate. come back and visit us.
wow.
iOS is so bland. I hate the boring blue UI.
its so 90s

We all need a good cry sometimes...Especially us guys! Makes me feel better when I get turned upside down and then break down into tears...As long as no one saw.
All the iphone has going for it is looks and ease of use. Nothing looks as nice as those iphones do, and nothing is as easy to use. That ease of use ALSO is what makes it boring. It spoon feeds you.

Who's updating to htc one x plus

I still haven't had the chance to upgrade. I been wanting a galaxy nexus, but haven't found a price that suits me. Even my tmobiles contract is about to be up in October. Now htc one x plus is around the corner. How many of you guys are waiting for the one x plus.
Im definitely gonna check it out, but Im not loving the rumored specs tbh
My next phone will be either the next HTC flagship for TMo or the new Nexus device.
A leak shows it has att LTE network on it, maybe tmobile won't get it Idk
actually for me i'll stay to my lovely sensation surely for one year more
i'm not switching devices so frequently

Pretty much. I have no contract so I just buy my phones used (got this one for 200 six months ago) or full price, and I'm probably going to wait another generation for the next Nexus phone. Until my Sensation can't do something serious, there's no reason to upgrade other than to get something new.
I will, however, be considering a tablet with a keyboard like the new Surface that Microsoft is releasing. That is, once I see the price.

Same here, my next phone definitely won't be HTC though. Because of the lack of updates and such. I'm going to getting the nexus when it is released. Already have saved up for it. Just waiting for a release date.

HTC One X+ was actually going to be my next device (due for an upgrade in October as well), but now Im thinking I might hold off. I havent seen too much about the One X+, specs look OK but still have yet to see an official pic of the phone. not a fan of Sense either, but I actually do like HTC's build quality (minus the speaker on the Sensation). its a toss up between the One X+ or Nexus' next device
Well guys I gave in and got the galaxy S3. I'm running paranoid android ROM and its been sweet. Getting sick battery life and not missing sense as of yet.
Hell I'm not even missing my sensation.

HTC is literally paying for theirs mistakes

Here is an article from gsmarena "HTC sales continue to plummet in February"
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sales_continue_to_plummet_in_february-news-5654.php
I little disagree with the writers opinion that the drop is hardware related, as we all said several times before- it's only support related, or should i say "lack of support"?
HTC releases to many phones. HTC one x than one x+ than HTC one. All flagship devices in one year. They need to follow Samsung and apple. Release one great phone each year and support it for at least 2 to 4 years. What HTC does is release one phone and than 3 months later release a new one and drop the support for the old phone. That is why my next phone will not be the HTC any more.

Exactly! it's just nice to see their stocks and rates going down... not as fun as to see apple's stocks going down but still nice enough :victory:
Hi,
Samsung is also producing many new phones every year.
The problem with HTC had been their poor marketing and poor after sales support.
The 2012 One series have been poor marketed, with an awful wallpaper. Also quite overpriced compared with Samsung devices.
The performance of HTC devices has also not been the best. Our devices have always been shower than Samsung (in stock condition)
My next device will probably be a Nexus. I'm really tired of waiting forever for an update.
HTC should consider giving the option to buy a device running an AOSP Rom.
