Contemplated the iPhone, but I don't think i can put up with edge.
Sent from my Sensation

yeah, I was in the same boat.
I was greatly anticipating Iphone 5 but, it turned out it did...
if the 4s came out with a bigger screen and larger ram I might still have thought about the switch.
of course I would have jailbroken it as soon as I got it to liven it up a bit.
iOS as it is is a pretty much a snorefest.
but now with ICS coming, think I'm sticking with Android.
have too much invested in Google's products anyway.
anyway, good luck with it mate. come back and visit us.

wow.
iOS is so bland. I hate the boring blue UI.
its so 90s

OP - I see. I also owned iPhone before I moved to Android and must admit that iPhone has got it´s magic. But I personally can´t imagine moving from 4,3" to 3,5". I play with my colleague´s iPhone 4 and the display looks so tiny

No meaning , no message, no objective treat..useless i think! If OP asking for opinion choosen between ipone or senny, then i can accept..but now OP already make decision..so, where is this treat will lead us to???? Flame of cause...

We all need a good cry sometimes...Especially us guys! Makes me feel better when I get turned upside down and then break down into tears...As long as no one saw.
All the iphone has going for it is looks and ease of use. Nothing looks as nice as those iphones do, and nothing is as easy to use. That ease of use ALSO is what makes it boring. It spoon feeds you.

Guys... which is good Sensation or SAMSUNG Galaxy SII?

Guys I just want to know which is the best device to go for next? SGSII OR SENSATION? what say?
Sent from my device using Tapatalk

It would be more logical if you asked between the Amaze and the SGS2, since the Sensation is older. Anyways, I prefer the Amaze because of the higher pixel density. The SAMOLED+ is great, but a 4.5 inch screen with 480x800? Ill pass.

It honestly depends on what your looking for
If you like the sensation UI or Touchwiz UI, whether you want the extra horsepower or not, etc
I own a Galaxy S2, and I LOVE the thing to death!
It is EXTREMELY HARD to break it via flashing ROMS and Firmware, it has lots of support, it's powerful, has ICS support already, and has many benefits over the Sensation IMHO, the screen is better too, I played with a sensation and it felt laggy and slow at the Telstra store, even when I tweaked it a bit, everyone is going to have different opinions, but so far Samsung have won my vote
(I use to own a HTC Desire and HTC G1 (Dream))
and I prefer Samsung at the moment
I will be getting the Galaxy S III!

Honestly...none...
I would prefer htc one x..if you can wait more surely s3...:beer:

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

i own both sgs2 and a sensation, after using sensation for about a week i gave it to my wife and went back to s2. It's heavy and the screen is narrow and a few other things i didnt like about it. As far as sense goes i got over it in a week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710a using xda premium

Yeah I agree the screen on the Sensation is stupidly narrow...I just cannot type on this thing (I actually had to download a iPhone default keyboard so I can type).
But I think the Sensation becomes a much better phone than the GS2 with the official ICS. On GB, the GS2 destroys the Sensation is terms of speed and smoothness, but on ICS its more or less even.
I mean seriously, do you want to buy a phone from a company than makes washing machines...or do you want to buy a phone from a company that invented the first touch screen smartphone?
And the end of the day as long as its not an iPhone or WP7 buy what you wish!

Honestly, I just switched from the i9000 to the Sensation XE recently, and you'd be crazy to buy a Samsung. Nothing on the i9000 worked properly, and one thing I learnt from the experience is that because Samsung develops a wide range of electronics, they will select inhouse electronics which clearly aren't designed well, over competitors whenever possible. (Just a short list, it was incredibly laggy, GPS was useless, their OS used too much ram, and the system reserved too much ram, and there wasn't near enough to actually use the phone without it crashing, it would crash regularly when browsing, etc). Oh, and then my flash memory died (like every other i9000's, and the flash seems to be a Samsung component).
That isn't likely to change. I now own a Sensation XE, and the only problem is occasionally reception. Just remember that the main problems with the Galaxy i9000s weren't immediately evident. HTC might be the better choice, because, HTC isn't a hardware company, so isn't forced to use controllers which are crap (ie, ones designed possibly designed inhouse) simply to avoid embarrassment.
Honestly, with the i9000's, there should be a class action lawsuit. The only good thing about them is that they were unbreakable

I'd stick with a Sensation over a Amaze. Amaze has a 1.5 dual-core and worse battery life. Only differences. Get a Sensation.

check out my bench mark results.
I have the regular Sensation

I think comparing to battery life sensation is better ryt?

The Sensation and the GS 2 are the same generation phones! They were introduced in early 2011 (mwc) and released about 2 months later (in Europe the gs2 was released earlier than sensation)! So what are you talking about?

Take it easy buddy

Well I have Sensation XE and everything is stock and I absolutely love this phone, represents Android perfectly, not bashing Samsung here but touchwiz is a bit boring and too simple much like iOS (and I wonder why).
And as far as sense being a ram hog... Well good (better) things come at a cost so if you want something fun HTC is the way to go.
The aesthetics of the phone are amazing, feels like a proper phone in the hands and I absolutely love the back, the build quality is amazing as well. As far as death grip and issues of that sort go I haven't noticed much.
The display is amazing to and as far as the outside visibility goes I put my friends SGS2 along my XE and both were equally visible (same brightness). I'm not saying sAMOLED+ isn't a good display but there isn't much difference outdoors.

This is the longest I've ever owned a phone lol. If I can get a good deal I might jump to the One S in a few months for the camera and the body but i really love my Sensation

Awesome device...Get it before it's too late

And what about the problems
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA

I've had my Sensation since this past August and after many hours spent tinkering, trying out custom ROMs, the only problem I've ever had is that I don't see an icon when I get voicemails. I saw the notifications initially but after unlocking it at the end of that August I haven't seen the icon again.
If something happened to mine, I would consider another model but I'd probably try and scope out a good deal on another Sensation 4G. It's a great phone!

considering the low price it goes for on the used market its completely worth it!!!

Does it beat the EVO 3d?
Sent from my HTC One V using XDA

They're almost the same phones - Evo3D has dual cameras, 3D display and larger battery (can be bought for the Sensation as well) and 1 GB RAM (instead of 768).
Take your pick.

It's very worth, due to the lower price. I like my sensation

It's a good phone, you can get them quite cheap off eBay, mine cost very little (comparatively speaking).

Great phone, still loads of support from devs
I haven't experiences any problem like dust under the screen or the like. Everything works great, and sense4 functions well.

If you want a used and cheap phone get the sensation. But i advise you, if you're going to spend big then look for other phones like the Galaxy Nexus or wait for the GS3.

What problems? Before to buy Sensation I watched a lot of videos on Youtube, read a lot of fourms etc - haven't find any problems, and while using also there's no problems. And mine is rooted and Sense 4 is just great, no need for One S.
Sensation is way to go

so i just got myself a Sensation XE, exchanged my One V since that was a good performer yet still had many defects, and woahhhh i'm absolutely LOVING this XE!
Thnx to everybody for their replies! i'm completely happy with my choice and jus can't stop lookin at the big boy..

Yep. I thought it was a bugfest here too but since the price started to get really cheap last month I bought one and surprisingly it was well worth it. Very fast and responsive on ICS (specially when on Custom rom). Development is superb too. Only issue I have is the poor battery life but these can be solve by buying an aftermarket battery (something like anker or chichitec w/c has 1900 mah).
I bought mine for $250 last month

[Q] Should i get the Sensation, And for how much?

I have 500$ budget for a new phone and i had my eyes on the Sensation for some time now, I see it online for the range of 430$-420$ + 30$ for shipping to Cairo
So its close to the max of my budget considering i will pay tax for it in here, So my question is should i get the Sensation? Does it still worth it? and will it get any future updates? and it seems to be a bit slow on the CPU/GPU side is that true? and IF i should get it what is the right price and from where? If there's a good place selling the International version in Canada for good price i can get my family to get it for me from there, So what do you guys think?
BTW the Gnex is off limits due to its pentile screen and 5Mp camera

You can get one cheaper then that lol shop around or buy off here few people selling them

Hey bro, glad you've decided to get a HTC sensation. One question though, why not get an XE? its newer, bettery battery, plus it comes with awesome ibeats earbuds :-D I mean, in terms of whether or not it will get sense 4, probably not officially but developers here will soon get leaks from HTC to develop sense 4 on root devices. So i would say, yeah if its in your budget, if you're not willing to pay for the HTC one X or the One S, go for the sensation. If rooted, its capability is practically unmatched And yes i say this after owning an SGSII

A bitter farewell

Yesterday, I got myself an HTC Raider 4G LTE as I saw it on Craigslist for dirt cheap. I had to borrow money off of my parents as I do not want to touch my savings account. As a result, I needed to sell my Infuse... I know that this sounds as ridiculous, but I think the amount of flashing I have done with the Infuse has already been enough. And it is time for just a stock phone that can perform decently.
I still plan on getting an infuse sometime down the road as Wolfson DAC, development, and AWESOME FORUMS are just way too hard to bail out of. Plus the fact that people here are so much more friendly than any other forum I've seen. Completely unbiased statement.
Anyhow, I would just like to say thank you to the devs especially and everyone else that made my stay with the infuse a memorable one.
FLASH ON!
