I own a Desire, and after seeing my cousins new one of these today, I know what my next phone is going to be.
sexy voice sexy accent
I prefer the smoke signal operating system to Android or Ios.
Except on windy days when its hard to light the fire and the messages get blown out.
thats the best phone evveerrrr! (the one he's recording with XD )
@gooddream77
You came at me comparing the GS2 to the Sensation first, you inbred idiot. (Again, this is insulting inbred people because they're actually smarter than you) I was merely giving you my two cents until you started acting like some ass who got his feelings hurt because I wanted one over the other. Again, if you don't like it, don't fucking get it. Get the Samdung GS2. If you want to be talked to in a civil manner, I suggest you start doing so, too.
@gooddream77 It's amazing how you STILL think I'm anti-Samsung. You must possess the understanding of hogshit. Actually, that's insulting the hogshit because not even that is as stupid as you are. I think the GS2 is great device. But it's lacking because : Software sucks ass. TW is a piece of shit UI designed for wannabe iPhone users. And also because the hardware design is ass. I don't give a shit if someone sells more than another. By that logic, Iphone is better than both Galaxy S/S2. Dumbass
@gooddream77 You don't have an argument, moron. We're agreeing to stick w/our respective preferences, but you're being a butthurt fanboy and acting hard about it. That's ridiculous. Why the fuck should this be an Android VS Android discussion, when there are other people (i.e. iPhone fanboys) who are more annoying? We're on the same side of the smartphone war. Don't bicker. I like the Sensation and Sense. I like the GS2 – I just HATE Touch Wiz. (Root it when you get it, btw)
@gooddream77 First of all, don't use what I write back at me. I call you a crapple fagphone user. You call me one. I say you're butthurt and you reply I am. I say you're selling a phone.. you reply and say I am. That's lame. Second, I'm not stressed. I'm merely pointing out that you're acting like a complete moron. I say I prefer Sensation but still acknowledged that the GS2 was good phone. Somehow you interpreted as "critical" which means you're butthurt because I prefer one over the other.
@gooddream77 Oh NOOO! Not the zooming in and out! You're right. I prefer Sensation. You prefer GS2. Period. OH WAIT A MINUTE. I've been saying the same fucking thing several posts ago! Captain Obvious to the Rescue!
@gooddream77 And btw, you're right. The lawsuit is pretty ridiculous, I agree. However, that being said, can you REALLY deny that TW looks more like iPhone than any other phone out there? No. So, while Apple is dumb as shit for sueing SS for something so trivial as a grid of icons, Samsung could have done a lot better than making TW such an obvious ripoff. Lawsuit or not, it's stupid. Bottom line: If you don't like Sensation, don't fucking get it. And don't try selling a GS on an HTC video.
@gooddream77
Dude, what the fuck is your deal? I said the GS2 was a great phone. I also said that it had better SPECS. The ONLY reason I prefer the Sensation is because I'm a Sense user. That being said, the GS2 has a shitty hardware design. Plastic feels like crap. But, whatever. That's the trade off for being lighter/thinner. You need to stop acting like such a fucking butthurt Samsung fanboy. YOU'RE the one bitching about another phone on an HTC SENSATION VIDEO. Shut the fuck up already.
when will the HTC Sensation be out in the UK? How much will it be? Looks like an amazing phone love the animations massive even compared to my old, obselete desire! Good on ya HTC!
@gooddream77
Actually, Apple did sue Samsung over the fact that TW and hardware design is such an iPhone ripoff. You're right. It's impossible for any UI to be totally original, but in Samsung's case, the ripoff is so blatant, you can't ignore it. Same grid design. Same dialer. Same call feature interface. It's embarrassing. Also, HTC was the first to get Froyo, whereas, it took Samsung several months to get it. So the software argument goes both ways.
@gooddream77 Dude , chill the fuck out. If you like the GS2, go for it. The reason why I prefer the Sensation/Evo 3D isn't so much for the specs, but because I just like the software better. I can't stand that shitty TW UI. Even though I can always switch to LP, TW still lingers. Samdung does a craptastic job at making software. And yeah, the hardware feels like cheap shit, too. But aside from that, it's still a great phone. We're all Android fans. Stop acting like a crapple fagphone user.
@gooddream77 I prefer to have a larger resolution. 800×400 is 2 years old. It's time to move on. Still, Super AMOLED plus is definitely badass on it's own. Apples and oranges.
Sense has better, more intuitive widgets. And it's overall UI is more original. Touch wiz is a glorified iphone ripoff. HTC had gingerbread leaks for a while. Never official, but once rooted, you had access to plenty of user ROMs with Gingerbread.
@toshikazza666s
Depends, really. Hardware-wise, GS2 is better. However, HTC has the better resolution, which is a big plus. I also think HTC Sense is better than Samsung's Touch wiz, which sucks. HTC also tends to release updates faster so you gotta consider that, too. But both phones look great. I just like HTC's interface more is all, raelly.
i like the galaxy s2 better in my opinion
did you record this video by using another htc sensation?
@cirkusarena It's coming out next month. They always use that pre release software excuse.
@derfnoslen Like he said – this is pre release software.
@NYCbrownflavor How do you compare something with "the next", can only compare to the current..
is it an android phone?
@NYCbrownflavor
The original Evo, Galaxy S line and Droid X/2 were all better than the iphone 4, which came out around the same time. What's your point? Like last generation, the HTC Sensation/Evo 3D and Galaxy S 2 will demolish iPhone.
@uyeop Ditto what the hell is up with HTC, get rid of sense or something but lag on this type of hardware is just mind blowing.
@NYCbrownflavor
Super AMOLED is better than retina. And people can't even distinguish between a retina display and something else unless they stick their faces closer to the phone. So, really, having the best resolution is pointless. What does matter is having a bigger screen for better viewing, browsing and room. I understand people bitch that 4.3 is "too big" but seriously? Grow a pair of balls. Girls use an Evo and they're fine with it. Unless you have Barbie hands, size doesn't matter.
I'm a huge HTC fan but I really think its not gonna outdue the G2x..T-Mobile really gets the shaft when it comes to HTC phone..I mean the G2 really?!
@uyeop To be fair, it isn't even the final build yet. And between Samsung's Touch Wiz and HTC's Sense UI, I'd take Sense all day, every day. But you're right. Cyanogen Mod is the shit. I hope he develops for Sensation/Evo 3D.
Heck, even for the Samsung Galaxy S2.
I can't believe that its so fkin laggy despite of its dual core 1.2GHz processor.. HTC's sense is a total junk.. better wait for cyanogen mod.. shame on you HTC
the Widget display page screen could have been better…it looks so cramped up…
HTC Evo 3D Without 3d
I have the Desire. Worked great for 4 months then updates bricked my wifi and now causes the device to restart constantly . Searching the forums this is affecting alot of people. HTC seems to be silent on the matter. I will buy the sensation in June and if that screws up , it will be my last HTC phone.
really shocked by the Sun in MAnchester
@ThisLadChanny I'll keep it simple here.
iOS : Better battery life, great resolution, prettier and better apps/games, supported by major developers (Namco, Capcom, etc etc), easy to use, best camera (but I haven't used the GS2 yet), Cooking Mama.
Android : Widgets, skins, mods, user interfaces, better GPS, wifi-syncing, better call quality (AT&T), better multitasking, customizations, Launcher Pro (which deserves its own slot)
This is purely stock, Not JB or rooted.
