Wow. Is this a qwerty phone? Who is getting it?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Its more than likely going to be just like the EVO 3D without the 3D part.
Hopefully it keeps the qHD screen tho.

I thought it would be the phone for me but its CPU is not as good as the Tegra 2 chips =/
I thinks the pics i saw were from a Prototyp so i think It will get muuchh better ...like the playstation phone did ...but its a candidate for my next phone

judging by the looks of it, i think it's a bar phone.
I thought the Pyramid was going to be a keyboard-less phone.
My next phone is going to be the 3D version of the G2. I want keyboard, 3D and HTC. No other options up to now.

Its not worth getting any of these new phones yet. Wait until dual core is the norm ie every phone will have one, then wait for one with a hw keyboard to pop up. That's when ill jump all over it like white on rice

Totally agree, I like to wait and see what phones rise to the top of the dev chain too, I only got my DZ because I read up on it here and found it to be unlockable,rootable,everything. plus the overclocking. I learned my lesson when I bought my sony x10 at launch and waited a year for 2.1...... so now I wait and read don't get caught up on new releases, wait and see how the phone actually works and if its locked down like a sony!

Not to mention how the battery life will be. Will all those features, its bound to suck down the juice.
press release from t-mobile http://blog.t-mobile.com/2011/04/12/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unveils-its-most-powerful-handset/
I went through its details, its out as HTC sensation aka pyramid.
I'm getting desire S. Not pyramid.
The dual core won't make a difference to a user like me atleast. What are the other improvements? 8mp and desire S has 5mp.
Works for me. Pyramid is a huge ass phone. But its good, if it was 3D I would get it. I wish the evo 3D comes in gsm.

WTF!? How come the Htc pyramid thread is in Xperia Play General section?
by that time there will be quad core phones but touchscreen only so you will wait even longer, my point is just get the phone you want now or wait for something that is coming in a month or two
what you want hasn't been confirmed by.....anyone yet
edit - my original reason for commenting, why is this discussion in the xperia play section anywayz?
wrong move?
Moved to proper forum!
quick question i am on at&t right now but i want to get new phone and i am thinking about getting htc sensation unlocked..will it work for at&t the way its working for t mobile..like connection,battery,faster or etc...if not then i will get htc desire hd....reply quick will be buying in next few hours....
It will work but you wont have 3g or 4g. You will be stuck on edge which kinda sucks. Everything else is the same.
If you really want the sensation, its an amazing phone, try getting it from bell canada because itsbon the same bands as att. Hope this helps.

Bad move that's an old phone. Sensation is a dual core at 1.2Ghz imo you should of gotten the sensation.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
not nessessarily. There is no doubt the sensation is a superior phone in all possible aspects but having a phone that is stuck on edge in this times sucks.
Getting the bell sensation is an option but importing is going to cost quite a lot more than the desire HD.
Whycdont you try the galaxy s2 it actually runs like it has a dual core proccessor, nice design and is made of good quality. I had a sensation and within 3 hours it crapped out on me. Also don't forget that amoled screen. Sorry for my bad spelling in a rush.

just because you had a bad experience with the device, it does not mean the device is crap. People need to stop generalizing because it does no body good. Now I bet there are enough threads here about sensation vs sammy g 2 and about how the sensation is crap or how its the greatest phone in the world. It is not what this thread is about and this thread could pretty much be closed.
However I would like to say that I am very happy with my sensation. Design is to me better than the SG2 and I prefer QHD to a AMOLED with fewer pixels. It is however all preference and both phones are great. The OP ended up with the desire HD which is also a great phone
the reason i didn't bought htc sensation its because i don't want to stuck with edge...thats why i bought htc desire hd...and i don't like samsung phones because they look cheap....
sensation rocks
Guys I am planning to buy a new phone. I want your suggestions about choosing the right one. I am relying on good battery life and phone which has a good amount of development going on (custom roms, kernels, miui, cyanogenmod, ics etc.) coz I love to fiddle with devices a lot. My current choices are :
Samsung galaxy R
Samsung galaxy S plus
HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S
These are my options but senior members can suggest me phone in range of 23000 INR ($475).
Thanks in advance guys

Isn't Galaxy Nexus coming to India soon? It definitely has those things (though battery life preferred with custom kernel) and is probably of choice (until the new quadcores come out in a few months anyway) for tinkering. But I'm not sure you can get it for $475, unless they offer it more cheaply there. I got mine for $550ish, and that's considered cheap here.

Yup. But $550 is costly for me. Already pushing my limits for my said price range
Sent from my MIUI powered I9003 via Tapatalk
Umm.. If you look for design and Sense UI, go for HTC. But if you want a performance device then I would suggest Samsung R or S Plus.
Thought for 23k you can even get Optimus 2x or Optimus 3D.
But if your just gonna stick with Samsung and HTC. I would suggest Samsung for the performance. No wonder HTC's Sense UI is far better than any other device out there but its just your decision whether wanna go with Design and Looks or Performance and Built Quality!
have a look at the new Htc series One,
HTC One X, HTC One S and HTC One V

2 years ago, I prefer 3.7" phones to 4.3" phones. But now, 3.7" and 4.3" seem too small for me. Just try it first and you'll like it and even want a bigger one. Anyway, the 4.8" screen was rumoured to have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

I see. For that price, you might consider the HTC Sensation. I think the HTC Rezound occasionally gets that low (say with special promotions), but I can't find any at this moment.
I'm not familiar with any of the "cheaper" manufacturers (Huawei or the like) but it might be something to look into.
If your not in a hurry to get a phone. I would suggest you too wait for like till April or May. There are like 20+ phones getting launched by then.
HTC's One series are gonna be available globally by April. Even LG, Samsung, Sony has launched some new phones and they all comes with ICS 4.
So you may wait for sometime and I bet its worth waiting for.

That's actually a good point. Old phones usually take a price dip when their successor comes out. The HTC Rezound is sure to take one when the One X comes out, for instance, similarly for the Samsung Galaxy S2 when the S3 comes out.
So if you can wait, I'm going to speculate that those phones might dip down into your (OP's) price range. (But you should allow for a margin of error ).
If I were you, I would check the forum on what phone has the most development ... That way, you can have a lot of Rom choices hehehe

I'd like to know why too.
I've got my HTC desire for ~two years and never had any problems. + there are a lot of roms for the device.
Among your choices I'd go for the HTC Desire S.
I still haven't had the chance to upgrade. I been wanting a galaxy nexus, but haven't found a price that suits me. Even my tmobiles contract is about to be up in October. Now htc one x plus is around the corner. How many of you guys are waiting for the one x plus.
Im definitely gonna check it out, but Im not loving the rumored specs tbh
My next phone will be either the next HTC flagship for TMo or the new Nexus device.
A leak shows it has att LTE network on it, maybe tmobile won't get it Idk
actually for me i'll stay to my lovely sensation surely for one year more
i'm not switching devices so frequently

Pretty much. I have no contract so I just buy my phones used (got this one for 200 six months ago) or full price, and I'm probably going to wait another generation for the next Nexus phone. Until my Sensation can't do something serious, there's no reason to upgrade other than to get something new.
I will, however, be considering a tablet with a keyboard like the new Surface that Microsoft is releasing. That is, once I see the price.

Same here, my next phone definitely won't be HTC though. Because of the lack of updates and such. I'm going to getting the nexus when it is released. Already have saved up for it. Just waiting for a release date.

HTC One X+ was actually going to be my next device (due for an upgrade in October as well), but now Im thinking I might hold off. I havent seen too much about the One X+, specs look OK but still have yet to see an official pic of the phone. not a fan of Sense either, but I actually do like HTC's build quality (minus the speaker on the Sensation). its a toss up between the One X+ or Nexus' next device
Well guys I gave in and got the galaxy S3. I'm running paranoid android ROM and its been sweet. Getting sick battery life and not missing sense as of yet.

He's right contracts suck. I'm also waiting for the nexus 5, but if you're not a patient person get a dev or AOSP One. The SGS line died with the S4.

I like the Galaxy's for 2 reasons, black blacks, (very nice on aosp for everything to be black instead of gray), and the software features like the pausing and all of that. But I like sense. I would also like to have the next Google phone. Too many choices.

I have never liked the screens on the galaxy phones. Look close in person and compare. Regardless of all other factors, the devs will make a speedy Rom with that hardware, and the build quality will be great on both.
The screen will be what you will look at more than anything else. Make sure you won't regret it. Pentile is irritating, even at hi res IMHO.
Black blacks and impressive contrast ratios are good, but seeing gaps between my pixels just ticks me off. That's just me.

Well then please make it HTC lol.
Apple is good at choosing hardware and writing software that is a bit behind the times, and consequently everything works and is smooth all the time.
That being said, I find iOS totally boring. My work bought me an iPad mini, which is cool, but I just can't get interested.

you can buy the vanilla htc one from the play store without contracts, also htc sells an unlocked edition on his site. The nexus are way cheaper, though.

I would wait on the X phone and Nexus 5. IOS is good if you want your money's worth. My iPad 2 is still running silky smooth and my wife's iPhone 5 resells for $380! That's insane!
I have been a Samsung guy for the past couple of years and still am for the most part (waiting for the note 3) but to me the HTC one is much better than the galaxy s4. Two weeks ago I had my first HTC one, loved it but I had to get the S4 so i sold the One and got the s4. It's a good phone but it stutters A LOT, you cannot use the phone for a full minute without the phone stuttering and I'm not exaggerating. Also even though I always liked touchwiz, it's getting really old and needs an ui revamp badly. At the end of the day it's a matter of preference but to me the HTC one is a much more polish device. The s4 features are cool for the first 30 minutes but after a little while they just get in the way and become more annoying than anything. (Except multi window and air view ). The one display is beyond amazing (the one x display is the best 720p display and this puts it to shame), the speakers are incredible and I find myself liking blinkfeed a lot. Less features but way more useful. To each his own
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
As far as I'm concerned Samsung is in my ****list. How they can release such poor build quality at such high prices is beyond me. HTC time and time again is a perfect combination of power, features and build quality. And ew ew ew touchwiz. Also, would much rather have a phone and a tablet then a cross between the two. Having a smart phone you can't operate with one hand seems a bit useless to me but that's just my two cents. Also +1 on the nexus line of phones if for no other reason than having the latest software asap.
