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?

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.

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.
sorry my english

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.
I have a sensation I'm thinking of trading for nexus. Which would u guys rather?

I've had the Nexus S 4G since launch and at this point, it's going to take a lot to pry this phone out of my hands.. It is still easily the best god damn phone I've ever owned and with ICS coming there is really no end in sight for exchanging it for something else.
In ur case, EVO 3d?

Speaking only for myself, not a chance. I love this phone.
I think you really will enjoy the Nexus. Its a great phone. I hope to always keep a Nexus in the stable.
I feel the same way, I will most likely always have a Nexus variant if not collect each one.
I wouldn't trade my nexus for anything other than the galaxy nexus. I got mine on the launch day last year and still loving it.
You should definitely trade. I have both and except for the dev support and screen, the sensation is better in everyway. And sense 3.5 on it is BADASS. ONLY carrier overlay that is worth a **** IMO.
I have both the Nexus S AND the Sensation. I like them both almost equally. Although, I do like the way the Sensation feels in my hand a little better. But....YMMV.
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
I wouldn't, it's a marginal hardware update, and then there's sense, which in all of its variations I just don't like. I follow there cm7 though, looking fairly stable at this point. That's a plus if there's one. This is just my opinion, not trying to start a flame war or anything

PM me. I'm actually considering.

So true, I'll never buy another bloatware-laden locked down phone evar!!!!
I broke my HTC Desire HD, and as I had to buy a new device, the best and cheapest choice was the Nexus S (LCD here in France, far better than amoled picture wise).
There is only two thing the Nexus S is better than the DHD, its screen with better colors and backlight, and the useless but funny toy: nfc chip. Ah, another one : easy device unlock and rooting !
If I could afford it, I'll buy a Sensation or Incredible S, or even Desire HD any time.
Better alu case, better overall feeling with HTC devices, better camera... More Ram, and so on...
Maybe worse in benchmarks, but overall use experience much smoother and less laggy.
Now HTC devices are again unlocked, so MIUI is again available on theses rigs, so if you have to choose between a Sensation or a Nexus S, I'll choose the the HTC every time!
As you already own a Sensation, from my point of view, you are going a step down, maybe two...
But it is only my opinion.

Agreed, I hate all those custom UI's, AOSP FTW!
i think i would swap
but im waiting for the next nexus if i can hold out. i realize i need dual cores. i multitask way to much.
i also want a rock steady gps and the nexus s is flaky at times
i also need a better camera. after the epic i have been spoiled
i might not find the camera portion in the new nexus. i will hold out for the gs3 if i have to get it shipped.
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.

480x800 is so 2009
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.
This thread might seem unnecessary but I'm making it anyway.
I recently acquired a sensation and it had the touchscreen lockup issue that had to be solved by returning it to HTC. Ofcoursre HTC had to be a **** and charge me 160 to fix the ****ty phone saying warranty seal was broken. So simple. I went with it. Haven't gotten it back yet.
Whatever the point is this mytouch 4g has served me the longest without any issues whatsoever for the past 6 months. I dropped this phone on the subway six times now without any noticeable damage and I don't use a case. The build quality is exceptional and I can't thank HTC enough to design the metal ring around the screen.
I'm grateful to this community and HTC. But this sensation will be the last HTC I own. And this mytouch 4g, I'm never gonna sell it. Ever. Its the best phone I ever had. People who has problems usually speak up like this so I thought this would be a nice addition.

I adore my MyTouch 4g. This is my first Android phone and I've compared to many other models that I have seen and continue to. I have to say that I have yet to find another phone that I would hands down say is superior. The cpu is amazing. The amount of RAM is more than I have ever needed. The size of the phone is perfect for me. And development has been phenomenal.
Are the front and rear cameras off center? You bet. Does that affect their operation or in any way slow this beast down? Nope.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Will this be considered an upgrade?
Only you guys know how is the dev section with the sensation (i love roms, so want a phone that gives me flexibility on that)
Thanks
If you want good dev support, I say get a nexus s. (Or stay with the g2x, idk what the scene is like on that particular device) I got one for that very reason and I haven't looked back since. What it really comes down to is whether you like sense or not. If you have even the slightest disdain for it, I say don't get the sensation. Most of the best roms are sense based and IMO the aosp rooms are pretty lacking as of right now. If sense is your thing, go for it. Though, I will warn you, the screen on the sensation is of considerably lower quality than the g2x. Don't let the resolution fool you, the pixel densities of the two screens are pretty similar. And the sensation has a low quality tn panel while the g2x has a decent ips panel.

If aesthetics means anything to you id get me a sensation for sure. It feels much nicer than g2x and think it handles and Looks nicer and anytime I can get extra ram I. Go. For. it. But... G2x isn't bad if it's gonna cost ya more than $50 difference I wouldn't worry about it...

I actually miss my G2x, it wasn't a bad phone just bad software I would not consider changing to the sensation, get a better phone like nexus or wait 1 month to get a really awsome phone that we dunno the name of yeat I mean that we are inbetween generation switches right now so don't wait 2 month but 1 is alright.
