HTC Sensation experience & ownership

[eko24v]

Hello community !

I'm interested in getting a HTC Sensation (I can get it very very very cheap) and i need your help tbh. What is it like to live with it everyday, is it a soft phone, how does a sense compare with touchwiz and what are BAD points about it. I'm really interested about bad points, since i really can get annoyed


Thanks,

If you can get it very very very cheap, who cares what Sense is like, you'll get used to it and it's miles more powerful than a Galaxy Ace

Sense is designed to be quite user friendly, lots of widgets and eye candy etc.

Bad points are it's another layer on top of Android, so it takes up some system resources (no different to Touchwiz) but the phone has the power to cope. Personally I use CM9 and have none of Sense left on my phone at all

My advice is don't hesitate - buy it. Having owned 2 HTC phones before (Touch Diamond & Hero) I bought it because of Sense, which has grown into a very good GUI over the years. Yes it takes resources, but I have never had any problem in that respect and would not be without it.

I would not be without my Sensation - I use it for all sorts of things I never thought I would. So much so that I have deliberately not update to ICS in case it causes problems!

Thank you on your replies !

Well i like Sense 10x more than TouchWiz personaly even though i haven't owned HTC. resources shouldn't be that big issue for me though Probably it will feel to me like heaven after Ace since even on paper it's miles away i guess.
