HTC sensation 4G

What would you consider to be an amazing phone then? Or is this just coming down to a AMD vs. Intel kinda crap? lol

Boot loader just got officially unlocked on the Sensation, didn't it? Once the community makes up some roms, I think the Sensation will be a strong phone too.
 
It's your average HTC phone. They make an almost exact copy for each carrier and make a few changes every few months and release under a new name
 
i was starting to hate the phone due to lag and the death grip, but the recent 2.3.4 OTA fixed all my issues. runs 2x better. nothing average about this phone. its awesome
 
Running a Sensation ROM on my Inspire 4G. Upgrade? Hah. 🙂

I do like the ROM. Sense 3.0... very smooth.

I don't think you know what average means...

I'm enjoying my sensation a lot. can't go back to the wvga nexus one after a few days of using this screen. patiently waiting for cyanogenmod nightlies to come out...that will be awesome.
 
The only complaint I have about this phone is the battery life. I've set everything to a bare minimum (turn off everything except wireless, brightness to 20%, turn off all running apps, etc), it doesn't seem to compare to the battery life of iphone 4. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears. Also how much would an extra battery pack cost?

uncheck 'Always on mobile data'
wireless & networks > mobile networks

are u on 2.3.4? battery life somewhat improved.

also, visit these forums:

if you want 14% more battery capacity, get an OEM evo 3d battery pack. it's a tiny bit thicker, has 210mah more, and fits in the regular sensation back.

on the stock battery i'd get around 16 hours (~2hrs screen on time)

every 2011 flagship phone is dual core, nice screen, LTE or HSPA+, etc. it's all ARM based CPU's, the same few screens and one or two models of radio chips being used on all phones. even the iphone
 
I want one but none of my phones are due for upgrades for at least 6 months. So I am stuck on my vibrant for a bit.

so I guess a Ferrari is an average car, right?

I saw a bit about HTC releasing a special edition Beats version of the phone...pretty dumb, except that they will be including the evo3d battery as standard.

a ferrari is a ferrari every year

a flagship phone one year is old crap the next year in the clearance bin

i suppose you are looking at the bigger picture/over time. The pace of progress in the mobile market is so fast that it is really difficult to be anything other than "average" by your definition.

i've been following tech since the mid 1990's. things get old very fast and i learned not to drool over it or fall in love with it.
