The Glacier is my secondary phone as you can see in my signature. The HTC Sensation is the Future now. MT4G is getting a little old my friend, not saying anything bad about the MT4G I still have one for now.

True on some points. The mytouch 4g can do anything the sensation can do.

Meh... waste of money IMHO. Gonna wait for the next nexus or quad cores, if the nexus isn't one, when they come out in Jan or Feb.
Sent from my Google Nexus 12! yup I'm from the future

When the Quad Cores come out I will have one of those as well. You only have one life... Why not live it to its Fullest Potential. I have 2 MT4G's, but they are in the drawer, why because the Sensation is Superior to the Glacier Hands Down. I am NOT saying the Glacier is bad at ALL it is also a great device. Peace...

When htc delivers a phone that gives more then 1gb of storage space for apps/games they might have me looking their way, sensation might be slightly better then mt4g in some aspects but not to upgrade from. Nothings set in stone yet but it looks like samsung is in the lead to make the prime, tho im hoping htc gives us that 28nm 1.8ghz cpu and at least 16 gb storage space if samsung doesn't make the next nexus.

Meh... Ill hang on to the Glacier for a bit longer, the Sensation is nice but i had an EVO 3D and as awesome as it is, htc always seems to always be one step behind the competition in one way or another; washed out screens, greedy internal storage, poor camera, underperforming CPU/GPU compared to competition, imo the second gen Snapdragon was their best one, their dual core pales in comparison to exynos and tegra 2 in real world use, never mind how it looks on paper (async was a bad idea imo)
Glacier as of today has the best balance of everything i currently need (solid build, good cpu/gpu, 4G, dedicated camera button and flash, FFC) so i can wait till Q4 to see if the GS2, Hercules or maybe even a good WP7 Mango device can woo me to switch
Best of luck to all (sorry to ramble so much)

Gs4g is alright but you will run out of app storage if you like alot of apps, only has 344 MB free out of the box. That's like 700 MB less then sensation. And the gs4g screen does have a good screen but sensation is way better. The difference is darker colors are richer on gs4g, gs4g not dial core, gs4g is laggy even rooted with a custom rom, big step down from sensation I have to say. Personally I wouldn't trade. Sensation is a better phone and get a 8,16, or 32 gb SD card and throw ur music on it and that takes place of itouch. But its up to you.

wtf...

The galaxy has an amoled display that is pretty much far superior to the one we have. The sensation just has a higher resolution. Although the amoled has a weird bluish tint to it. As far as software goes, the galaxy s ain't nothing unless you root it and throw ... Cm7 for example, on it. The graphics rendering is faster on galaxy as well. Sesation has better battery life and build quality.
As far as processor goes, people just got to stop buying into the while 1.5 ghz or 1.8ghz bs. Our sensation wouldn't be $h*t without faux's kernel. Plus, our phones being dual core and all don't mean much as well until android is written to fully take advantage of two cores. Hopefully android ice cream sandwich will do the trick.
Samsung has the worse software support on the planet, I came from an epic 4G, I know trust me. The sensation is better because of the awesome software our devs put out. Still a long way to go, but it gets better every day. I just can't wait for cm7 on this bad boy

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

trade for the g2x if u get a 100 bucks, its a faster phone w/ better graphics
but if u like sense and htc's build quality stick with your phone
(i switched to the sensation from a g2x but if someone were to offer me a g2x and 100 bucks w/ no issues i'd trade in a heartbeat)
GS4 is a waste stay away!

galaxy s2

Is it worth getting. I never owned a Samsung phone but I'm considering it. I'm tied of htc and the craps quality jobs they do with their phones. The dust, the reception, death grip, sense slowing down the phone and also keeps reloading everytime I hit the hone screen.

no dont do it!! now the prime that might be something that could draw your interest

If you have the sensation getting the s2 is a downgrade.

My two previous sensations weren't but with this dust issue I have had to keep getting them replaced and now I'm stuck with this one which is slow. I wish we had gotten that 1gig of ram like the Evo 3d did

No it's not.
Going from the Sensation to the Galaxy S II is in fact a huge upgrade.
I'm not saying the Sensation is bad, i'm just pointing out that the Galaxy S II is pretty much better than the Sensation in almost everything.

its a super amoled plus screen, 1gig of ram,, 2mega pixel front facing camera, 1.5 dual core, i dont much about the phone im just going by the specs on the site but so far it seems to have better specs then the sensation.

What to get next??

So I'm looking for my next phone.
I was all set to buy the One S but no expansion and removable battery.
The One X is too big.
So where do I go.
I want the One S but 12GB isn't going to cut it.
Whats coming and I am considering non HTC as I;m not big on the current direction.
Current favourite is Sony Xperia S but not completly convinced on this one is there anything coming soon worth waiting for?

Nothing in the very near future which would represent a noticeable upgrade from the sensation. Personally I'm waiting a bit longer.
Sent from the hell that is modern life.

Just hang on longer to the Sensation if you can't find anything. Mayne the SGS3?
If not, just keep the Sensaion and wait for better phones in Q3. Sensation is still a powerful piece of hardware

Nope, nothing worth upgrading to just yet.

Nothing on the horizon yet...I'm still enjoying the S4G & Xda development section!

Im looking at the samsung galaxy s3 depending how quad core is handled with battery life, the one s was my next choice too until the no sd card and removable battery. One x is too big so im left with samsung s3.

What do you mean by the One X being too big? Physically, storage space, or price?

Physically I think
Storage is never big enough for ANYONE
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

I was thinking one S as well but like you said the low amount of storage has put me off it. I mean, the non-removable battery I could live with but only 16 gb's of storage....HTC, what are you thinking???

One X isn't a phone it doesn't fit in many pockets easily far a start.
Nice screen for movies and browsing but a little too impracticable for everyday life.
I go into the highlands in Scotland a lot what use is 25GB of dropbox if you can't access it.
A mobile device is for when your out and about we don't all live in London with permanent 3G and WiFi hotspots around every corner and that's when you want to access the content.
Have you tried streaming on a train or down the motorway in my experience you get crap connection speeds when moving at speed.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

I absolutely agree with you. My concerns are the same. Everyone around me was impressed about this 25GB of storage with dropbox and I know for instance Three UK offer "all you can eat data" plan but they are the only one (as far as I know) and other carriers have their limit. And not to talk about still having gprs and edge connection in many area what I can't even use to fart on it... Anyway, brilliant phone is the One X but I still love my sensation and I'm sure I will sit on this phone till something similar will be released...

LG optimus 4X. Removable battery and an SD card. Hahahaha.

After seeing the specs of the EVO LTE and the European ONE X I was greatly displeased and turned off by the ONE S. EVERY nextgen flagship phone coming out seems to crush it spec wise.
given the fact that i have had multiple HTC phones I have no faith in their ability to make a battery that is sufficient for the phone it supports. So to embed a paltry battery like the one in the ONE S was an immediate deal killer. Then to find out about the memory too...it was not even a second thought.
As for blaming HTC, I have seen the light. The new EVO will be a beast. There is an on board 16 gig memory PLUS its expandable for an additional 32 gig. There is also a 2000 Ma battery if I am not mistaken. HTC "can" make a desireable phone, but T-mo has not required nor demanded a game-changer or a true flagship from them which is sad. Until t-mo stops slacking we will have to sit out cycles (like now) or switch to other brands.

I think I will be sticking with my Sensation until Q3 or Q4. So I won't regret any purchase because by that time all of the flasghip from every manufacturer has already been released. The sensation is still too powerful anyway.

Sell off senny for amaze

I was thinking of selling off my sensation for an amaze 4g. I wouldn't lose any dollar in the process. But do you think its worth the better camera back and front and whatever else is better at? Is the amaze screen brighter? Anything you guys can share about this will be helpful

Add a poll to this thread. It will make your decision easier.

I was also thinking about this before, the amaze has a better camera, 1GB RAM, and 16 GB internal memory. The only reason I kept my sensation is the bigger community and developer support. The amaze still has great support but the sensation's community is just bigger. If the 3 things above is enough of a reason for you to upgrade and don't mind having a wide variety of ROMs, go for it.

apperently the amaze also has deathgrip problems.
it has light leaking problems which isnt a big deal if you dont mind turning off the capacitive button light
but the worst of it all is that it has a terrible community
just go over to the amaze subforum and see what im talking about..
however, the benefits: bit more ram, wide-angle camera lens, bit louder loudspeaker.. i think thats it really..

I had that choice , I choose sensation. Glad I did because this community is awesome! Besides I love my sensation! Good luck in whatever your decision !
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

I would say go with the amaze if the community was like this but seeing how its not just makes the phone suck. After all you can have the best phone ever but if it doesn't have a lot of support what's the point unless your a experienced developer.
