Quick hands on @ Three UK shop

[eddiewawa]

Hey guys, as i know we're all itching for the full review and your representative hands on but i wondered into the Three store in Castleford asking if they had 'one' to play with (weyyyy) and amazingly yes they did have 'one' (weyyyyyyyyyyyy)

so i played with the white version and it looks fab, no really it does. the 2 tone black and white contrast looks great and stands out. the screen is gorgeous, next to my dhd, beats it hands down, slcd2 looks more natural against my missus SG2, under a lamp with auto brightness set, it displays way better than my dhd.I dont see an issue with the screen size, i dont have like massive hands but it barely bigger than my dhd, slightly 'longer' but its just as thin and defo feels lighter. what i love about the screen was it had the feel of the Nokia Lumia 800 around the sides, just feels NICE and smooth as. only concerns is white plastic, err...its so gonna get dirty, and how would you clean the beggar??

Sense 4.0 is smooth but didnt get much chance to play with all the widgets, but transitions with ICS is butter smooth - sorry i cant mention more on this , i did only have 5mins with the thing before the guy in the store had to shuffle it away...

the camera: well its certainly snappy, tried the taking pics when its filming and the quality is not "amazing" but its an impressive step up and certainly giving that xperia s a run for its money...i am however..kinda like disappointed it doesn't have a dedicated camera button. but the snaps were quick! couldnt test how quick it goes from lock screen as it was a demo model and locked with that 3 lock screen overlay

tested the speakers, and yeah was ok, better than the dhd but thats not alot is it now? lol nor could i test call quality, no sim inside.

oh apparently the guys in store confirmed it WILL come with beats earphones, which is interesting after seeing the latest unboxings so i wont trust this till some one has ACTuALLY got one.

internal apps: errr...its like anything else but everything feels much snappier of course, the screen makes everything better anyways lol nothing lagged at all, forgot to play back any vids besides the recorder, so cant say anymore on that.

i might pop back for another gander on Monday...but to be honest, im waiting for this or the SG3, but first impressions is i love it!

I wouldn't get my hopes up with the beats headphones as most employee have no idea on what there talking about on products! Unless they have a special bundle!

The majority of handsets with beats audio released over here have came with beats headphones (albeit cheaper ones), so there's a high possibility the guy in the store was right.

Ok, then that's good! At least you get something...here in the states we only get wish or get lucky!?

well this was what i thought, sensation xe & xl comes with beats buds, to NOT come with htc's flagships would be criminal since apparently u cant use the beats enhancements without one...

The HTC Rezound includes the Beats headset.
