I just wanted to thank all of this forum's great people and dev's.
This is one of the most friendly forums I've ever visited.
I bought a white Sony Xperia S (not to be confused with the Arc S) and therefore will not be visiting this forum anymore.
My Desire S was great, but I had poor build quality and the wifi deathgrip was simply too annoying for me (I use the phone in landscape 60% of the time).
The one thing I'll miss most will most certainly be Sense, but Sony's interface is nice as well .
So thank you all once more!

good luck.
Take a look at the one series...was Lucky enough as HTC guys visited our office with The almighty one x , one s and one v.....the best looking phone was one s....he scratched the phone up and down back and front with a coin....nothing...no cover or case required....when u hold the phone in hand it feels its made out of one piece..cam was superb...just thinking to buy the one s....one x is out of budget....anyway all the best and glad I got the opportunity to meet the one series....

I know they're awesome, but the problem is they don't have a screen that fits my needs.
You see, the One X has 1280x720, but 4.7" is simply too huge.
The One S however, has the perfect size of 4.3", but only 540x960
My new Xperia S has a 4.3" screen with 1280x720, giving it a whopping 342ppi.
That was simply my main reason of purchase, since I watch a lot of movies and animé on my phone.
I think htc is much better than any brand that produce android phone.
Might their hardware is better, but at last their android is just android with som new icon. All of them is these changes.
But in htc you see the complete system with sense & widget
For example at last, many android phone have accuweather app, but just htc have beautifull widget and in sense 3.5 with beautifull movie , ...
All over, i like htc any way

i got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.
The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).
It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that
thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....
Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.
Incredible S!
well HTC now is one of most popular brand, i think same like the others,HTC Incredible S

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.
@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread
I would buy Incerdible S absolutly
thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....
Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!
Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

Get a little more cash and buy the samsung galaxy s2.

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.
+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)
Hi guys, I want to buy a phone, now am wandering about the incredible s and desire s
which one do you think is better?
Desire S choosen
Hi,
I had the same situation, finaly I've bought the Desire S and I'm happy with it. It is a litte big smaler then the Incredible but exept the camera as far as I know everything is the same.
The Desire S for me personaly looks much more noble then the Incrdible S and is fitting in every pocket.
I've had the HD2 before with WIN6.5 and Andoird (Desire HD Rom) for mails/Inet etc. and an additional smaler phone to make calls. Now after everything will be set up I'll be only the Desire S.
Cheers
Mike

It comes down to two things, how big a phone do you want to carry around in your pocket? and which one feels best in your hands....
I'd suggest you go to a shop and try out both dummies....whichever feels best should leave in your pocket (and I don't mean nick the dummy!).
I personally like a smaller size, The D HD is way too big IMHO (I've come from HTC Diamond2 which was also 3.7" screen)
The phones are very similar spec wise, I rarely use a camera...so mega pixels don't matter to me!
They both have the same signed problems when it comes to custom ROMS and root.
Good luck.
Thank u. it will be my first android, in considering ur words, i think maybe the desire s will suit me.
Desire s fits perfectly in hands..i'll choose desire s as a replacement for my hero

Depends on what you looking for. I find both really cool. The desire is big, and the defy is small. htc sense is way better than motorollas overlay. The desire screen is simply better in terms of clarity and color. gsmarena.com is a good site to help you decide, it does nice comparisons. check it out.
Desire : strong community, hundreds of custom ROMs, easier to root, Sense.
Defy : water+dust resistant, Blur.
Yours to decide.
BTW: I have a Desire not a Defy.
Android was born from the union of Google and HTC
I have a Desire, but also Desire HD it's beautiful.
HTC with Android forever !
HTC with Windows Phone anymore !
DEFY is a good choice.
last year i want to buy defy, i like its water and dust resistant. but my friend suggest me desire. and finally, i buy HTC, the screen look better than defy. PS: what i buy is desire s, but i know desire is good, 'coz the friend i just said use it.
Hi all,
first i'm new to this forum and i seize the opportunity to say hello to everyone!
I'm planning to buy a new smartphone and i'm undecided about what phone between Samsung Galaxy S2 and the htc Sensation.
I really Like the Htc Sense and the sensation cut and I'm oriented to buy this one!
On the other hands GSII is more powerfull, more capacious but IHMO less handsome! It has also a more resistant and lightfull screen than the sensation!
Please XDA USERS answer to this poll, and explain me the PROS & CONS!
Well judging from the enormous HTC fanbase on xda, the sensation is more likely the one to win the poll. However I'm still going to go out and say the sgs 2 is the best in efficiency (obvious from the fact that little ram is used and the fluidity of the UI) for android. Any other android device out there that can play a 1080p youtube video?
However it really depends on what you want, eye candy or efficiency.
The myTouch 4G Slide plays 1080p like its 360p... So smooth. But, GS2 for sure...
Yes,i totally agree with Kailkti...I've pesonally used the SGS2 and i was an owner of the 1st so i have to say i was blown away with it's speed!It's VERY fast and quite smooth but also simple to use and quite elegant actually...plus there are lots of custom roms and kernels to use to modify the device as you like!Even overclock the cpu/gpu plus more...
I think sensation is no match for SGS2...
another important aspect that i would deal with is also the battery lasting!
I really stress my current phone (my old dear nokia n95 8 gb)! I send like 100 sms per day! Are those devices able to live all the day long?
Im not you so I can't speak for you. However for me this can last two days for me. If you are spend a day sending sms it might last. Granted your screen isn't on for more than 8-10hrs.
my friend own a sgs2 and my brother is using htc / my phones are in my sig i personally used both but htc leads the game
Samsung SGS2 = poor build quality in every 4 months u will need to buy new acc for it ..... / not that good with small hands / powerfull but do we really need that
HTC Sensation = Good build quality / good battery timing with data on / looks beautiful in all sized hands / every upcoming apps / games / new os supported
Htc the best ...
I really do not know what of those 2 smartphones buy!
SGS2 Is more powerfull and the battery lasts more than the htc! But The sensation IS SO COOL!!! Damn!

I've owned both in the past and to be honest I enjoyed the Sensation a lot more. It just feels so good in the hands and the UI is addiciting as candy (somewhat). I was planning on getting one a few weeks ago but held off since Bell was releasing the HTC Raider. Been using the new Bold for awhile but that died soooo I get a free replacement from Best Buy and with that I'm most likely gonna go with the raider.
Moves as a question
Sensation OWNERS let me know how long do your batterys live!!
Ps. Please submit the poll!
up message! I hope that it is not against the rules!
Former HD2 owner and a great phone it was too and i generally like HTC, however nothing can beat the SGSII in almost every aspect (ICS beta almost ready too)
HTC makes better phones but galaxy s 2 is better than sensation
double post! Sorry!
As an extremely heavy user (two phones, both dead in eight hours or less) my Sensation's battery doesn't last that long unless I use an Anker extended (1900Mah) and a powerskin case (another 1500Mah) but I'm not the norm either. I love my Sensation (and I'm living in a house with a Nexus S, Sensation, Rezound, Vivid, Nexus One and two Galaxy tabs (10.1))

The S2 is better as far as performance and screen quality goes but the build quality feels cheap and Touchwiz is gross. Sense is much better.
Both have their pros and cons I guess...

i am also in this dillema. curently owning an htc desire. wanted to go for the sensation but even if I expected nothing but good build quality from HTC i see hundreds of post on xda about dust under the screen, death grip and poor screen quality. so now i don't know wich to buy. btw htc sense is the only thing that keeps me near the sensation but i think that the sgs2 with a third party launcher would be even nicer. any suggestions?
Ok, it has virtually the same specs. Less RAM though??
Good news, we can get a ROM port from it and enjoy the new Sense 4.0
Will you say its a successor to our phone or not?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Advantages over Desire S
1) Actually, the One V has a better screen than us.
Ours is SLCD, this is SLCD2.
According to Paul obrien, it is so amazing, it makes his Galaxy Nexus look 10 years old!
Bloody hell, that says a lot!
2) it also has a better camera, it has a wider lens..
3) larger battery - 1500mah compared to our 1450mah.
Although, the SLCD2 May drain more battery

Definitly NOT, the ONE S is the successor of our DS.
The ONE V is just the ugly successor of the Legend.

Thanks for the input mate
Yeah, I think this is meant to be the successor to the Legend/Wildfire S.
It has near the same specs as us. This is considered a low-end phone. It will be priced around the same margin as the current Wildfire S. This means our phone is now low-end!!
Can you imagine, when the DHD was released, it was a top of thre range high end phone - ann android lovers dream, but now the specs of the DHD are in a low end phone!
IMO, it looks like a sexy device!

The One V will have Sense 3.6 and not Sense 4.0 as One X and One S. This is according to GSMArena.

This appears to be an error from GSMArena as specs from htc's own website for One V show Sense 4.0 on it http://www.htc.com/au/smartphones/htc-one-v/#specs
It also shows that the phone does have a microSD expansion slot as read reader comments from a review site being critical of the phone for not having one
Yes, its still Sense 4 but with less animations (imo not a bad thing).
From what Ive seen on the videos so far, the cube animation when switching homescreens and the new coverflow taskmanager("recent apps") are missing.
As said before, its very similar to our DS, i dont see a reason to upgrade (i will wait one more year).
it have some specs that are a little better (screen, camera), but other are worth (storage, ram, size,battery).
but we can port roms, and get better support for next year
about the new task manager, i liked it, sad it is missing
we have more ram. if we get kernel 3.0 then i say desire s is much better then this one.
What none of you seem to have noticed... is that the One V doesn't have a front facing camera! No 3G video calling on your One V sir!
Also, HTC seems to have dropped the Search key from the entire lineup of the "One" series phones (only three buttons now)... One of the reasons i like my phone is because of that damn button.. it's just too frigging convenient!
So the DS still kicks its ass.
But seriously... is HTC nuts? No front camera? Who does that in today's world man?!

Some things missing, but a direct WVGA port, with no resizing? Makes me smile inside.
Personally, the One S just went right to the top of my list, but still a long time away, when it drops price.

Thanks dan. But i think he just got the resolution part wrong, not the device. (wouldn't want to upgrade to a device without a front camera...)
No front camera then (One V)... so again, driver issues with that one (will have to kang it over from elsewhere).
And if he was talking about the One V, it is hardly worth considering as your next device. We have much more going for the DS... as i posted above. If considering an upgrade, at least think of the One S, or the One X (if you manage to rob a bank!!)
I meant that a direct port of the One V will be way easier than from the other models, due to the hardware similarity (apart from the non-existing FFC).
The One S went to the top of my to buy list, somewhere down the road.

Ahhh, there you go. Confusion cleared.
I'll wait till i can afford the One X though. Might as well splurge on the flagship (don't have any spare cash left anyway, after recently acquiring the Canon 550D, plus a new DS for the wife)

Read the post carefully.
The confusion was regarding the screen resolution on the One S.
I do not know you well enough to gauge your taste in devices, so cool it.
