im torn between what phone should i choose. can you guys help out? its between the sensation or mytouch 4g slide. i really like the sensation because of the big screen, apart from that the slide is very similar to the sensation other than the camera. what should i choose? i like the slide because of the better camera and a plus because of the keyboard (but i dont really mind the keyboard)
The Sensation has a bigger and higher res screen, it's dual core and has a 8mp camera compared to the single core and 5mp camera on the mytouch 4G.
In the end it's all down to personal preference, and if you ask it on the Sensation section everyone will just say buy a Sensation.
Also here's a comparison of them http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/HTC-Sensation-4G,T-Mobile-myTouch-4G/phones/5188,4942

Hi, I have the sensation while my mom has the MT4GS and if you like good cameras get the slide, honestly its amazing but I'm more of a screen real estate kinda guy
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Aside from the obvious differences (physical keyboard, qHD screen, and camera), the MT4G Slide has some UI tweaks which some may dislike compared to Sense 3.0 on the Sensation. Also, the MT4G Slide removes the search button for the Genius button.
For me I would prefer the larger screen and unadulterated Sense 3.0 experience over a slightly better camera and physical keyboard.
Are you able to visit a T-Mobile store to try out each phone? That would probably make your decision easier.
my wife has a slide 4g and i really think my sensation takes better pics and video
I was just like you, i was debating on the sensation or mytouch 4g slide. Just decided to go with the sensation and im glad i did.

Reviews of the EVO 3D say it lacks the lag that the Sensation has but battery life, like all WiMax and LTE phones up til this point, is completely lackluster.

damn straight! the evo 3D sticks to HTC almost-tablet styling, where as the sensation has sleek curves is is significantly lighter.
3D is 100% a gimmick thanks to movies like avatar and dark knight, the nintendo 3DS is proof of that!
I think your right looks wise the sensation wins thanks
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
not only that, but for the price/hardware/capabilities, i think the sensation wins all categories...pending unlock :/ and from everything ive read lately (A LOT, bored working midnights ) the evo3D will recieve bootloader unlock first (considering it was supposed to be BUIB [Bootloader Unlocked In Box]), but when the sensation gets it...whooo boy, watch out!
As for lag on the sensation, i have barely noticed any. Installed launcher pro heaps of Homescreen widgets and its still slick as you like. Multitasking is a dream!
Zero dust either!

Lucky! i have dust, but im on the fence about returning cuz i just sold my HD2 and have no replacement :/ i still use sense 3.0, loving the 3D UI since it was ported to the HD2, and it isnt slow at all, just dont load you homescreens with every htc widget available!
The absence of lag on the EVO 3D is a good thing for the Sensation! I don't believe that it is caused by better hardware but by software optimization! This means that we have to expect the same performance on our sensation when it gets future updates!
The difference is basically more RAM/better FFC on the EVO and a better rear facing camera/1080p video recording on the Sensation. The Sensation also has an aluminum unibody while the EVO is mainly plastic. In the end, it's up to the user to decide which features are more important.

The EVO 3D has 1GB of RAM versus 768MB in the Sensation. That certainly contributes to a lag-free experience.
EDIT: aNYthing24 beat me to it.
Hold both phones in my hand side by side the EVO 3D doesn't feel nearly as good in your hand. Amazing what a few fractions of a MM make, and the way the bodies curve the Sensation feels about 1/2 the thickness of the EVO. The Sensation just dissapears when you put it in your pocket. You can feel the big slab of plastic of the EVO in your pocket. Function wise they perform about the same for me. More RAM is always welcome.
quit making a big deal about ram! yes more is always better but if you owned a hd2 and seen how smooth it ran android then you would know that the ram that the sensation has is more then enough. unlock bootloader and stock android, or an OTA updates is going to do this phone justice! i would stick with the sensation as its just a nicer looking phone!

I bought an EVo 3d a few days ago, and the 3D features were cool, but not cool enough that I'd make it my full-time phone. One advantage it has is it always has 200-250 mb or more of available memory, whereas the Sensation normally has around 100mb.

If it's not software related can you explain to me why the sense 3.0 port on the DHD runs smoother than on Sensation and EVO 3D ????
I love the design of the sensation but i feel they could have made it so much better by copying the evo 3d a little.
I personally love a dedicated camera button so seeing that on the evo 3d and not the sensation was a little disappointing.
The placement of the charging port is a little more than frustrating when trying to text or even play with the sensation with 2 hands, i like how the evo 3d is located at the top instead of the bottom.
Another little annoyance is the over 200mAh difference in batteries between the two devices. Im sure like stated before they decided to go with a bigger one on the evo due the the battery drain of sprints 4g phones
Obviously these LITTLE things arnt that big of a deal as i would still choose the sensation over the evo 3d again and again

It's no gimmick. It's actually a pretty damn cool feature. I thought it was a gimmick too but HTC really did a good job making the first stereoscopic device. The green hornet in 3d looked pretty sweet.
edit: the big difference to me is the size. The E3D is huge...I mean heavy as in Thunderbolt heavy. To some that's a good thing to others its a negative.
I did the same thing. EVO 3D is IMO head over heels faster than the Sensation when i first tried it out. The 3D i thought i was gonna ignore it because i thought it was a gimmick too, but i ended up freaking loving it and taking 3D pics left and right. The front frame is also made of metal so it feels like a tank and i feel better knowing i have more ram also to help with the futureproofing.
What i do miss are the data speeds, Sprint sucks at this since i dont have wimax where i live and 3G speeds are embarrasing. But my bill is chraper so whatever lol

Yeah, need a new phone, but should it be the Sensation or the Evo3D? Gonna root the sh*t out of it, so I will keep that in mind
What do u prefer a 3D-screen or Full-HD camcorder?
I would say both phones are almost the same ... let the dice decide

I would agree with this, ultimately you're getting the same device under the hood. The Evo 3D does have 1GB of RAM, where the Sensation has HTC's favorite, 768 MB of RAM. Dual 5MP cameras to one 8MP cam. Both qHD, both 4.3 in screens, blah blah blah. Evo's battery life is worse than the Sensation's IIRC.
I have an Sensation on AT&T here in the states, and I'm extremely happy with it. But messing around with the Evo 3D at the Sprint stores makes me want one of those too lol. Both awesome phones, you can't go wrong really.
They are almost the same phone. You should ask yourself if you prefer Sprint or T-Mobile.
HTC Sensation. Period.
If you want Sense 3.0.. Then for sure Evo 3D Due to higher ram..
I assume Evo 3D is better. But its also more expensive.. But seems that sensation have more system support
.. evo 3D has 1GB of ram .. is the "more" really noticable ? i dont think so!
sensation will be better
Well I can keep my sensation or spend 529$ and get a GS2 Tuesday from tmobile I had to return the test units I used 2 weeks ago but now im asking myself do I keep my sensation or sale it for 300$ and add 250$ on top and get the Gs2 is it worth it im on Cm7 and yes im a power user.

Although the SGS2 is a fantastic device, it's not all that much better than the Sensation. The only real selling points it has over the Sensation is the SAMOLED+ display tech, the onboard storage, and the Exynos CPU. It's also thinner and lighter. The Sensation though, has a higher density screen so even though it's LCD, it's nicer to look at (IMO). The size/weight issue is a personal thing - I had the original SGS and thought it felt too cheap and light to be such expensive device. To me, the extra heft of the Sensation makes it feel a nicer device, but whatever.
If you were upgrading from an older device, it'd be a tough choice as it is. If I were you though, I'd stay with the Sensation because you just won't notice $530 (or even $250) worth of difference
EDIT: as a side note, I did upgrade to the Sensation from a similar device - the LG Optimus 2X. I had multiple issues with that device though, and the Sensation feels like a dream in comparison.
I've just had the SGS2 and got rid of it for the Sensation. I don't regret it. What I will say is this : whichever one you have you will want the other!! But I can tell you that the Sensation is worth keeping. Find a rom that you like and personalise & tweak it. Personally, I'm using xl DI GIT AL lx "digitalized" ics themed rom. Very quick.
The phone is more of a premium handset in other's eyes as well.

This person is right.
Why anyone would get a device that's about to get outdated really, really soon makes no sense to me.
Id stick with the Sensation as well. Once it has ICS, it will be on the same level as the Prime anyways. Not as good, but on the same level.

I was waiting for the SGS2 to come out as well but now that it is out I actually don't think it is any better than the Sensation. I went to tmobile store to try it out and found that my Sensation feels better because of Sense. The SGS2 was not thinner than the Sensation imo. it feels bulkier in my pocket. I'm glad i went with the sensation instead of waiting forever for the SGS2
I'd stick with the Sensation and just load ICS when it get's released.
why bother with the SGSII at this point? especially considering Tmous version uses the same Snapdragon processor?
if you really feel the need to upgrade just wait out a few more months for the newer phones in the pipeline... at the very least until Nov. for the Nexus.

I would definitely go with the SGSII... Well I did, it's the better phone hands down. Longer battery life, not laggy like sensation as far as stock goes, it's been out two weeks and it's already rooted ( like a week ago) it already has a couple of ROMs and the super AMOLED plus display is stunning. Personally I like having a light device, it may be plastic but I'm sure it has better chances of surviving a drop than the sensation. Now on the other hand the sensation has a great resolution, very sharp and lots of ROMs and devs behind it so if you're into ROMs and customizing and all that than it should be good too. But comparing both phone stock, no contest, the SGSII is the better phone.
people should stop comparing SGS2 stock with Sensation stock!
Sense ROMs will always be slower then stock Android.
Main point of HTC phones are Sense. If you dislike Sense then SGS2 is the way to go.
I would also stich with sensation
Go to a shop and take a SGS2 and turn it on. Take your sensation and turn it on. Place the two displays in front of you.
At this point you will just have noticed the low res of the sgs2 and the blueish display of the samsung, and you will turn it off and return to the shelf.
Problem solved.
I have a chance to trade my 6 month old sensation with extra back cover and battery for a BNIB mt4g slide. Should I do it?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
My girlfriend has the slide. It's pretty much the same hardware as the senny. It's heavy. If you like a keyboard and don't care about dev support go for it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I had a mt4g slide and traded it for a new sensation. no regrets whatsoever
Take a look at the MT4GS development boards. The devs for that phone are really trying, but honestly there isn't a whole lot going on over there.
So if you want to stay relatively stock and want the hardware keyboard... I say go for it.
sensation it an awesome phone i suggest you keep it. unless you are eager about the keyboard, sensation is a better phone.
I would say keep the Sensation
*It has a higher resolution screen
*It has a bigger screen
*ICS is just around the corner. Who knows when the slide might get it and T-Mobile takes a long time to push out updates.
i have both, the sensation has better screen,desing,etc..but the MT4GS has better signal reception, better camera and battery life.
i do prefer the sensation...its up to you.

Hey, all!
Just picked up an amaze for a good price. Any users that made the jump? Is it worth it?

actually i just made the switch from the Amaze to the Sensation, overall i love the sensation way more, the amaze has some minor hardware issues...
capacitive button bleed effect, camera flash bleed effect with dark pics, no s-off yet which means there is hardly any major development
i traded the amaze for a sensation plus $150 so it was not just for the above issues but also for the money, yes the amaze does look and feel better, but hardware specs are negligible due to rom tweaks and hardware acceleration
the only thing i miss with the amaze honestly is the battery life, and that's about it... lol
Girlfriend has an amaze, I have the sensation. Hands down I would go with the sensation.
Other than the camera the sensation is better in almost every way. Also there is no s-off on the amaze. You have to use HTC dev and kernels and radios are a pain to flash. Development is slow with the amaze also. Xboarder isnt there anymore and he was the driving force behind the amaze.
If the amaze was s-off and had some development it would be slightly better.
