HTC Sensation 4G vs Galaxy Nexus - HTC Sensation

I have found a great deal on a like new Galaxy Nexus, and I would like to know your thoughts and opinions. Is it time to jump ship for this device which I have had for a year to a phone still receiving continuous updates, or should I save my money and stick with the Sensation?

If your looking for official support then nexus, but here on xda it's doesn't matter if it's a good deal I would get the nexus. But if you want to save money and wait for a better phone keep your sensation.

Should I get a new SGS2 or refund?

Ok. Quick question. Should I get a replacement for my defective SGS2 or get a refund and switch from AT&T to T-Mobile and get the HTC Sensation. I am coming from the IPhone 3GS with a Grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan.
hmm they may force u to get another data plan.. and theres also the new SAMSUNG Hercules coming out...
get a refund
I'd be signing a new contract with T-Mobile so I know that I'd have to get a new Data Plan. How is T-Mobile? Also, how does the Sensation compare to the Samsung Galaxy S2?
Don't do anything till ICS comes out unless you really can't wait

Would wait , I'm probably going to sell the sensation and buy a cheap phone and wait till New nexus rolls out or iPhone 5 if it's compatible with tmobile

Sgs2 rocks dude better than sensation
Have gone through too many phones, buying , selling ,trading to newest phone. Been through almost all tmobile phones. Guess never satisfied with them, nexus one was probably kept the longest . IPhone is solid, used a 3gs for over a year and it was excellent. Just waiting for it to have tmobile bands to use on local carrier

Refund. Stay away from any recent NVIDIA hardware. I'm pretty sure the sgs2 uses it. Might be wrong tho. Besides that the sensation will decimate all once cm7 is released.

Galaxy Nexus.
One X
Avoid One series, had mine for 2 days, very disappointed.
I would go with the Nexus range.
Regards.
Is the nexus worth the trade of a sensation or should I ask for cash?

More like you'll be offering cash to them.

Depends on which "nexus S" you are speaking of.
The galaxy s II is an upgrade from the sensation. The original nexus S would be a few steps down as far as specs go.

That's cute.
The Nexus outweighs the Sensation in price. Google is selling it unlocked for $400. Great price.

Nexus S? That's not a good trade. I thought you meant a Galaxy Nexus.

I don't really know about the "nexus generations" so I just looked up nexus for tmobile and that came up. So that's the one I compared.

I loved my Sensation, but i got bored like I always do.
Right now, if you have your warranty active on your phone, t-mobile has several alternate exchanges for the Sensation.
They had:
Mytouch by LG
Mytouch Q by LG
HTC Radar
Galaxy S II
I swapped mine for an S2 just saying it wouldn't turn on.
No idea how long this is going on for, I called in on the 24th and it was still going on.

It's good if you like Windows 7. No removable battery or SD card though.
If your Sensation is less than a year old, you still have your manufacturers warranty and they'll exchange it with that. It's just a 20 dollar fee and you have to wait for ground shipping, or pay $20 more for express shipping.

next phone

hey there, i'm looking for a new phone, i only want to spend in between €100/€210, are there any good smartphones in that price range, i was thinking about the HTC HD2, but i dont know if thats a good choice, and i have the galaxy s1.
thanks for your time

What do you want in the phone?
Camera, front facing? CPU? Screen size? Good development? Etc...
Mainly, I'm also wondering off contract or on contract... and new or used?
The HD2 is not a bump specs wise from your Galaxy S, but it has amazing development. It can run WM6.5, WP7, Android 4.0, MeeGo, and something else too I forgot.

i want something that has a bigger screen, and camera doenst bother me that much, i never take picrures
i really want a faster phone with more ram, or a dual core. the reason for the HD2 was the big screen and the huge development for it

Ok then I'll warn you, the HD2 is not that much faster.
I still need to know if you mind buying a used phone, and what country you live in.

i live in the netherlands, and i dont mind buying a used phone, if it works and everything is fine, its good , do you have any more suggestions?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
OK well... I don't know much about availability of phones in countries outside the US... but there are definitely some worthy upgrades in that range (in USD its 122-250).
I can offer a big list of used phones in that price range, but I don't know if the sellers on eBay ship to the Netherlands. Hmm.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
there are loads of phones here, but not second handed, so theyre all really expensive, and i could get one from ebay :3
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Here are the phones in that price range, used on eBay. The problem is, I don't know about availability in the Netherlands.
Motorola Atrix 4G
Motorola Atrix 2
Samsung Captivate Glide
LG Thrill 4G
LG G2X (Optimus 2X)
LG Nitro HD
HTC Sensation
HTC Mytouch 4G Slide
And the single core phones that are upgrades from the Galaxy S
HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD)
Samsung Infuse 4G
I also went onto the eBay app using the Netherlands country code, and I found some used GS2s slightly above €210, but they still had an hour or so on them so they were bound to go higher.

The HTC HD2 is great if you are interested in ROMs, dual booting, modding, etc. Otherwise, the Sensation is the best overall in that price range. The HTC HD2 will last at least a year due to the huge dev community but the Sensation is vastly better on specs.
Get the galaxy s3. It is an amazing phone. I loved my gs2. And this is like a hdtv compared to a b&w white one. I love all the features and the screen size. Check it out when u have time

S4, Note II, or HTC One?

Hey guys,
So I had my Skyrocket now for some time (still love it), AT&T just came out with an offer where you can get pretty much any of their phones $199 and below for 50% off. So S4, Note2 and HTC One are only $100, not bad right?!?!
Now the question is if you guys could pick which one would you guys for and why? I like all 3, size is not an issue. Hope I could get some feedback to make a choice. Thanks.
Probably should have stuck this in the next phone thread but wouldn't the note2 be 150 since its 300? Unless it dropped in price. Personally tho, I'd say s4. I'm sure spitfire will stop in and say get the One because its the most amazing phone in the world . But really, go with what suits your needs. Or if you still dig the rocket and it does what you need, save your money.

HTC One
Design that never fails to excite me, kind of excitement that I get when buy a brand new phone.
Sent from my HTC One
Totally sorry, did not see the next phone thread.
The Note 2 is $199 on AT&T. So it will be $100. The only thing I really like about the Note 2 is the battery life.
So it's basically between the HTC One and S4.
I would be getting it as a bday gift, so I'm lucky in this situation.

HTC one. Soon it will have the ge edition come out and you can flash that and have the best software on the best hardware.

If it's gonna be the same software, why would you go with plastic over aluminum? Plus ours will be cross-flashable with sense and vanilla and the s4 wont be.

Why would you want a 4 Megapixel camera that is no longer software optimized for it (by HTC's proprietary software)? That said, the S4 does feel pretty flimsy and fragile, in my limited experience with it.
Man, I called that.. Lol

HTC is gonna utilize the "ultrapixels" in the Google edition. Also it's gonna have beats.

Do us a favor and stay in the HTC forums.

At the end of the day Samsung's always have a better Dev following, how important that is is up to u.
I will again greatly endorse the S4, especially Dev edition if u can spring for it.
Yeah, I really like the HTC One A LOT! The only thing is that I know the Devs for Samsung are amazing, just look at our Skyrockets still being able to stick around with the S3/4. I dont know how the HTC One Devs will be, I havent really gone around their Forums yet.
However, I'm sure they have to be a few great Devs there working on it, esp with vanilla Android coming out for the HTC One coming out.
Thank you guys for your inputs, helped me think of some important factors that I missed out on.
The devs are great over there. They love the device and there is a nice selection of good roms over there.
