Looking to get a new phone - HTC Sensation

Hey, I was lookin to get a new phone after my samsung vibrant got broken, I was thinking of getting the sensation at the 549.99 price from a tmobile store, but was also considering talking to my mom about getting an iPhone 4 at the 199.99 price and using the extra ~$400 to help pay for service on the new network (don't want to get it on tmobile because I couldn't live with edge all the time lol..) I was using my sisters iPod for the time being and it runs smooth and such and I'm liking the speed of it even though it's only the 2g one so I know the iPhone 4 would be much faster. What would you consder I do, I had the vibrant for about a year so I'm use to android but all my friends have iPhones and play there iPhone games together lol just looking for opionions on the matter.
Tl;dr - htc sensation or iPhone 4

Join your friends, get a iPhone 4

Dude,
I just got rid of my iPhone 4. And am SOOO FREAKIN HAPPY.
I had iPhones since the original roll out. While it may seem all cool and sexy be prepared to enter Apple's iron fist. Even jailbroken you ALWAYS have to be ready for Apple to update the firmware and if you aren't careful you end up in the same boat. Un-jailbroken with a phone that Apple wants not what you want. I'm using the G2x. And while there are some.flaws with the stock phone they can be overcome.
I also switched to simple mobile for my carrier. $60.00 monthly for unlimited everything. You wont touch that with att.
Say no to Apple my friend.

Ya I was thinking about that i've always been against apple and there bland phones (Android has more eye candy IMO) and actually convinced my sister and her boyfriend to get androd tablets (galaxt tab 10.1 and moto xoom respecetivly,so I'm prly gonna end up getting the sensation.
Bit ot from the op but how might I bargain down the price/get free assecorys fr the tmo reps?

I was going to go with the G2x, it has quality control issues. Then it was the sensation, it has the locked bootloader nonsense.
Depending on if HTC unlocks the bootloader shortly, or devs find a way, will be the deciding factor on the sensation. And I mean in the next couple weeks. If not, then I'm waiting on the next Nexus phone that's coming this holiday season with ice cream sandwich. It's going to be a MONSTER. Actually, I think I'll just wait..

Inspire for a NON geek.

My wife is due for a new phone and is moving to ATT with me, she wants a smart phone but not an iPhone because it's not in the budget right now. I love my inspire but I like to tinker with everything. Does anyone out there have a significant other, not geek type with an Inspire? Do they like it?
Her expertise with smartphones isn't great but she does ok to use my ipad and iPod touch. I'm considering the Inspire or a *gasp* Windows 7 phone.
Thoughts?
I would say an inspire is fine as long as she can live with the battery life. If not windows mobile.. My wife has a captivate, and refuses to let me root it and flash a custom rom. She likes my inspire a lot stock and rooted with core droid. Its an awesome little phone.
What I usually do to decide is just go to an ATT store where they have working models and just play around with a phone and decide if I like it or not.
That's our plan this week.

Why is used iPhone not an option? You'll still have to pay for data anyway and since she's comfortable with IOS seems like a no-brainer to me?
Because she doesn't want to spend that much. Inspire can be had for as little as 69 bucks.

My wife is as non-tech as can be. She used to have an iPhone 3GS. I got the her the Inspire and she is loving it. Get the phone for your wife, she will love it. Just be tender guiding her through the features.

Inspire can be had at Costco for free on a new or added line, and $20 for upgrades. So at the worst you can get a year's Costco membership ($50) and an Inspire for the same money.
That being said, you'll be buying a data package of at least $15 or $360 over 2 years or $600 for the 2GB plan. If you're paying that much for a data package, why cheap out up front so she can settle for something she doesn't want? Everyone here knows that stock has some serious issues, so your options are to root it and be your wife's phone IT support for ever, or get her an iPhone and let her visit the Apple store in the mall if she has any trouble. Domestic harmony is how I justify paying the Apple tax on my wife's iPhone and Mac habit, which smooths things over for my hackable gadget habit.
I would not be surprised if Captivates drop very quickly now with the Atrix and Inspire out on AT&T. I still enjoy playing with both of my Captivates as they are very forgiving and still have an awesome display.....

Well, not my significant other, but my mom just got one, after me talking it up, and she's been using an iTouch, so an iPhone would've been the natural choice, but she insists on having any new gadget she gets being brand new, so a used iPhone was not an option.
Given the price of the inspire on contract at Costco, compared to that of an iPhone, not to mention my recommendation of the inspire, the choice was easy.
It'll take her some time to 'convert', but with my help she'll be ok.
She likes the phone, she's just overwhelmed by the newness of Android. I keep telling her that since she's already familiar with the touch screen type of device, she's got more of a head start on learning the new phone than she realizes.

the inspire can be as user friendly as you want it to be. modders and devs don't like sense because its bloated and doesn't let you control a lot of things...but it does (generally) provide for a pretty smooth user experience. i know my wife was pretty interested in the htc weather widget screen animations and live wallpapers and other things like that.
that being said, maybe something as small as an aria would be a good idea...less of a powerhouse, better battery life and whatnot.
My wife used an Aria for about 8 months, her very first smart phone, and she was very comfortable using it. She describes Android as intuitive and easy to use, and it gave her plenty of options to customize her usage. 60% phone calls, 20% text, 20% weather/maps/internet search & games. I got an Inspire on day 1, and she was jealous from that moment on. We just go an Inspire last week for her, and now she even has a Google account.
Gunny, you may be the developer in the house, but your wife may surprise you and start tinkering when you put the right phone in your hand!
Just returned from the store. 2 INSPIRES in the house now

Advice if you don't mind

I'm debating on gettin rid of my jailbroken iPhone 4 for a inspire.
Should I hold off on the inspire for something better coming out?
I enjoy my iPhone Alot and my battery life lol but I can't make my mind up.
User there is some dev support already for the inspire which is a huge plus for me, but I'm getting tired of the small size of the iPhone and it's limits to customizing.
What do you guys think?
Also I came from a rooted Aria and Captivate before I went to the iPhone

Hi, make sure get a dual core cpu on next acquisition. Apple or no apple to be fair. Android is fun.

this is definitely a great phone. you may want to hold off until a better htc phone comes out with either of the two: dual-core 1ghz or better, front facing camera. If the inspire had both of those, this would be the most beastly phone on the market. if you're okay without both of those, then the inspire is for you. sense is awesome - lots of custom roms with and without - all are quick too! i got used to the size of the phone quickly after getting it and i LOVE LOVE LOVE this phone now. hope you make the right choice for yourself
Coming from the POC Captivate, this phone is awesome!
I do wish it had a front camera though, but not sure when I'd use it...it's plenty speedy though in stock form, much faster than the Captivate.
Dual core would be nice, but I had the Atrix and it didn't seem faster. I think it's all about coding and what you want it to do.
A co-worker of mine is an iPhone to Android user now.. he is happy overall,but does complain about the battery..
I am stock and easily get 2 days of normal usage. Not sure how long the iPhone lasts compared to the Inspire, but I think you'll be happy with this phone. I too came from the Captivate, and am much happier with HTC. Gps is flawless, screen size is perfect for my man hands, build quality is great (except for the darn battery cover )
I say go into a corp ATT store and play with the Inspire for 15 min.. awesome phone IMO.

Stupid question I know but if I were to trade my iPhone for the inspire would I have to go to Att and ask for a 4g sim card?
And also would the data plan remain the same or is it different for "4g" devices?

If I'm not mistaking the sim card for a iPhone is a micro one so you will need to go get a new one and the plans I THINK are the same but you will just have to move to the smartphone plan not the iPhone plan

HTC has no plans for a upcoming phone for at&t. My inspire runs super fast and games and video streaming is beautiful. So a dual core is mainly for speed. Y need more speed if the HTC is super fast? And I would never use the front facing camera. I mean really. I got a Mac for that.

I'd say hold off and see the infuse4g. I'm leery about samsung after the craptivate fiasco but the infuse is getting great reviews from engadget (while they aren't perfect I do find them to be pretty good overall) and I dont know about you but the extra .2" of screen might actually make a big difference, I know the .3" of screen between captivate and inspire were super nice. I will tell you while the captivate had more metal parts the HTC feels better built (except that damn battery cover everyone keeps mentioning, really HTC, what were you thinking?!)
There's no wrong answer when you switch from iphone to android, it's like going from a mud pie to filet mignon, even if it's bad filet mignon it's better than what you had!
And may wanna see what to see if bootloader is locked

Well if you are ATT only I would either stay with the iphone 4 or get the inspire.
This dual core thing is not proven yet. I have not seen one phone that is dual core that is awesome. I am sure I and everyone else will want one in 6 months to a year but right now there is nothing impresive about them. Att only has one other dual core that I have read about coming and its an LG....No Thanks...
Just got done Playing with one at the store, the size would take getting used to.
Seemed sluggish here and there but it's a store phone..and the fact it didn't have any Internet connectivity sucked.
And the captivate next to it was running 2.2 what a pos haha.
Overall it seems really nice, well constructed, pretty smooth as far as animation went.
Now here's the hard part, I can easily find an Inspire on CL to trade my i4 for, but how much cash do I want?

The demo phone didn't have a SIM with a data connection? Ridiculous. They should've at least had it connected to wi-fi.
BTW, Best Buy has the Inspire for cheaper than AT&T. It is $79 there (w/ 2 year contract of course).

It was connected to wifi but kept telling me no connection.
I went to bestbuy afterwards and did notice the price difference but I didn't even waste my time asking anyone of them for help, whereas they complete idiots.
And every phone they had on display was a dummy, what's the deal with that?

Sent from my Calculator with Android.
I've just recently moved from AT&T back in August and jumped in on the free online offer for the G2X for both my wife and I. So far both phones have been running perfectly stock without issue. I know a lot of attention is being placed on the new Samsung offering but the pure Android experience is awesome. There is not much if any bloatware to complain about and the phone is very well constructed physically.
With anything in the technology industry this phone will be surpassed in speed but it's still a contender, even against the SGII and some of the newer HTC models. When I switched carriers this was the fastest phone available with the best features. I love T-Mobiles free WiFi calling and the Android unlimited data plan (20 Bucks) which goes along way for military users since I travel a lot.
Give the phone a shot, if not the SGSII is here and the HTC MG4G slide also offers specs near to that of the G2X.

No, it's not worth an upgrade from a mt4g to a g2x. I also came from a mt4g only reason i got the g2x was because i found one on craigslist for a steal and it didn't cost me my upgrade(waiting for the Hercules for that).
I would wait for either the Hercules or HTC Amaze 4g, but if none of those caught your attention... might as well wait for the s4 line of chips and or quad core early next year. The G2x is a beast of a phone, but so is that mt4g you got, it can still hang with most phones out today.

Absolutely I plan on getting it, the Sensation will be the LAST non stock (Sense, Touchwiz, Crap In A Bucket, etc.) Android phone I ever buy. Hopefully it comes to Tmobile soon, since I cant stand dealing with the Sensation (on my third now) any longer.
Galaxy Nexus looks delicious. But if I actually changed phones every time I wanted to, my wife would have my head. Especially since I'm the one who pried her away from her silly iPhone world to go Android.
Definitely keeping an eye on this device though.
No plans yet, but will keep an eye on reviews ...
The way it's looking right now, I'll be leaving T-Mobile for Verizon and getting the Nexus Prime. It's been over 2 months since the data speeds in my area have dropped to EDGE. T-Mobile stated that they need to replace the T1 cables, and that there is no ETA on the completion of this work. It seems that T-Mobile's quality of service has taken a dive over the past few months, so I'd rather pay a few bucks more and actually get what I pay for.
The Sensation has been a great phone. It's the service that's lacking. At least I'll be able to cover the ETF by selling the Sensation.
nice! so many complainers btw.
Only thing that sucks is that 299 price tag. Apparently there are two models the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon Exclusive) and then there is the Samsung Nexus Prime that will be coming to t-mobile, sprint, at&t. Why wouldnt the Nexus, of all phones NOT come to tmobile since they debuted Android and carried the Nexus one and Nexus S? I'm assuming t-mobile won't be selling the device directly but we should be able to use a upgrade you have through t-mobile to get the device on contract correct? this is the first time i'm gonna attempt to get a nexus phone.

With 32 GB's of storage, i highly doubt there will be a SDslot. But the only thing i'm actually concerned about with this phone is porting roms to the device. With a resolution its supposed to come with, we wont be seeing MIUI for a while. also i never see it but hell even porting the ice cream sandwich version of HTC sense. as much as i don't like it, i do like flashing to get a different feel from AOSP for a while. Anyone concerned about that?
Ive thought long and hard about this phone...I was all ready to sell the sensation and go for the Prime but....
1-Once that thing is out, the sensation value is going to plummet.
2-Id have to buy it outright since I used my upgrade for the sensation. (Made worse by 1, above)
3-Once I go through all the trouble of getting it, a whole new species of phone will likely be on its way (not just a memory upgrade, but a whole new tech worth having, like some crazy quadcore phone or something).
4-Once ICS is out, the sensation will likely show its true inner beast and thus still be a contender with the Prime.
If I am going to spend big $$$ to get a phone, it better be revolutionary! If I find that the sensation only falls a short distance behind the Prime once the sensation is "fixed", then I would be pissed.
Id rather "suffer" with a fully optimized sensation and wait for next upgrade's SOB phone.

They are announcing the device tomorrow night. I'll be watching and thats when ill make my final decision on selling my sensation. I've never had a nexus device so i really want to try one, and i don't think this phone will disappoint since i know they want to try and fix their mistake they have with that fail Nexus S. im actually concerned now about the price. If its SUBSIDIZED at 299 for Verizon, and there is no guarantee that it will be subsidized for other carriers (if it even comes to other carriers) what will the price be. I'm not going to get it if i'm forced to pay full retail price which i know will be expensive, i have a upgrade which i'd like to use to get the device.
Now, what does this have to do with the sensation?

I get bored with phones very easily but once i got my Inspire i wanted to keep it for more than a month or 2 (which was the shelf life for a phone to me for a long time) So i rooted it to keep me busy/interested, and when i get bored i dive deeper into the root to make it better.But im at a point now where i dont know enough to go much further, and the onlyfriends i have that are into phones like i am are through here. So its hard to actually be taught anything. So i really want a new phone but not sure which direction i should go, or if i should hold out till the new batch of phones is out. In short, why cant i be satisfied with a phone nfor more than a few months?

I've found the Inspire to be one of the best phones I've ever owned. I think I'd only put the G1 above it in terms of phones I loved owning. The Inspire has given me 0 problems, has tons of dev support and is still very fast/snappy to use.
Not tired of it at all. I do lust for the Galaxy Nexus or the Razr while laying in bed at night...but I feel bad about it in the morning.

Lol to this
Also, I do find myself getting bored with it easily. Definitely an amazing device, but damn that Galaxy Nexus is tempting. If only it had the 8MP camera!
I actually really like my Inspire still, It's still a very capable device. I am going to be due for an upgrade in the next few months and i am going to be holding on to this phone i think for a while. Till something really catches my eye, because i really want to get another HTC device. The galaxy nexus looks sweet but im not a fan of Samsung's use of so much plastic on their phones.
My inspire makes me pancakes for breakfast every morning. I'll probably keep it until I'm tired of pancakes or my pants don't fit anymore.

That's what's so great about Android and being rooted. Get bored, flash a new ROM. Voila, new phone
No way! I love my Inspire still, it's a great phone, everything is really smooth with it right now. I'll probably hang on to it for another 18 months till i have another upgrade.
I really like my Inspire. I can not find a reason to upgrade. Nothing else out does anything different. I need a new Experiance before I will upgrade again. (or my contract is up). I had a Windows phone and modded the hell out of it and then, I went Iphone and modded it to death, and then andriod. Modded to death. See my pattern, each was a new experience. I will need a reason to leave my phone before I will.
meh...
After having issues with the battery life, I'm ready to upgrade to something with a larger battery & better screen. I'm not really hating on the phone, just disappointed with it.
Next phone I buy will be at cost, since I picked it up for $100 with a new contract.
I'm not tired of it (took 2 months only) but maybe if a little disappointed, I was recently at a concert and record some songs but my disappointment came into play, pesimo sound seemed pfffff q was in a machine room, something my old iphone that never happened to me, but good either me every day I live concerts as he remains so until q together for my new iphone 4s.
I have to say I like it and can deal with the few minor probs like battery life until the edge is released or equal to it. Sense I buy all my phones at cost I am willing to wait and see the next Gen device and right now everything else is just too weak to justify upgrading yet
So far I'm lovin' it. While this IS my first smartphone, I'd have to say I'm impressed overall with the phone. One thing bugs me though. I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do, I like to not have to set my whitebalance to fluorescent every time I want to take a low light picture with my flash... I kinda wish the coders had implemented where if the camera sees low light, and decides to use the flash, to just set the whitebalance to fluorescent. Ahh the little things.
Overall I like the build quality, for ME it's been a solid phone, and I love modding it. Endless entertainment!
i've had mine for a couple months and it's the best phone i've ever owned and im happy with it but honestly im bored. Too many sense rom's are the same and CM7 just dosen't interest me anymore and i've been using MIUI for the last couple weeks but i'm getting to the point where i can't really expand it that much more. I'm going to try to convince my dad (im only 14) to kick my brother off of our family plan and make him go to a gophone plan as he's 19 and dosen't use his phone much and then pay the ETF and switch to verizon, with christmas coming up i think he'll do it but i'll just have to wait
Tired of it? Heck no! This is my fifth Android device and I love it. To me nothing else out at the moment is compelling enough to switch. I love the actual build quality of the phone. Too many other phones just have too much plastic on them and they feel cheap. This phone is solid. Its plenty fast and well supported in the community. My contract is up in August of 2012 so if it doesn't get bricked before then, that is what I will be using. I look forward to see the offerings then.
I've had the inspire since launch day and it has lived up to the billing so far. There's really nothing you can't do with this phone. I live in Houston which has LTE but I'm working in Odessa right now so there's no need for me to jump into an LTE device just yet. They barely have hspa+ rolled out down here. I'll probably wait until next year for the new slate of devices, when att broadens their LTE footprints.
For now I'm enjoying my inspire

I love my inspire but like others am bored of the same old roms. Wanted the vivid but with the tegra 3 quad core already in the new transformer 2 tablet I think I might wait. And Samsung I believe has a phone called the flex that is supposed to come out q2 2012 with a flexible screen and body I think there are too many better phones in the near future to justify using my upgrade now and waiting two more years to get something better. Girl I work with just ordered the vivid so i will just look at it when she gets it and go from there
