I'm getting either this, or SGS2 as my replacement for HTC Desire

Any truth to this statement?

Is HTC losing its edge or it's just under-hyped compare to Samsung Galaxy S2?

Sure, its spec is not as good as SGS2 in some aspects (RAM, Storage, screen) but I think Sensation still has its appeal such as the much anticipated Sense 3.0, qHD resolution and better built quality.

I am still undecided between the two, and main factors will be:
- Maxis pricing and plan
- Reviews
- Hands-on to check out look & feel, if possible

It's a personal opinion, but I don't usually get too excited over spec, and focus more on user experience (and I think Sensation 3.0 is better than TouchWiz 4.0), and also HTC tends to provide updates faster than Samsung. Besides that, I think design wise HTC Sensation is more attractive (SGS2 is rather bland). Hardware wise, I don't know why everyone is thinking that Exynos is superior over Snapdragon the 3rd although it's not proven, and even Exynos is superior I think the difference wont be big

I will at least wait for Sensation to come before finally getting the SGS2

u won't be surprised for 95% of the users (which is outside of LYN), they don't give a damn about locked bootloader and they are not interested in rooting at all. So don't rule out HTC Sensation from being a commercial success just yet

1. I'm pretty sure you haven't used this phone, but you just base on your past experience
2. If you want good battery life, i recommend you to get Nokia dumb phone

I think it will be unlocked.

HTC doesn't want to risk releasing a phone that can't sell. Maybe it's too late for the release but perhaps it will come in as a patch

That's fairly expensive. I'm sure it will drop after 2 months of launch

Mind telling your source of news? 10 June's rather early, earlier than Samsung Galaxy S II official launch

Means Sensation is being shipped with unlocked bootloaders? That's something to cheer, definitely

But the RRP of 2.4k - 2.6k is really high, compare to SGS2 RRP

In term of build quality HTC Sensation has the premium feel compare to SGS2

pluginbaby - mini (or major) review please!

cyberic: give the owners some time. The battery usage in the first few days won't be accurate anyway:
- Battery is not fully calibrated (takes few full charges)
- As it's new phone, usage sure super-duper high (hardly considered moderate)

Can anyone confirm this?

No unibody as it turns out?

No big deal to me... as long as the construction is solid I'm happy

Just a bit of confusion as I also remember seeing somewhere that Sensation has unibody

I hope Digi is launching this instead of Maxis

Had a look at this model at Cubic @ The Gardens (the one near Sony & Nokia)

Not overly impressed... the Sense interface is good but maybe I've been using it since ori Desire so there's not much of surprise (and somehow I prefer ori Android now). Screen contrast is, as said, not as good as Incredible. However, on the good side, the navigation is snappy, the build quality is top-notch, if that's what you're looking for.

p/s: the seller also said that Telco launch is not likely, as otherwise telco will get to launch it first - but not sure about the credibility
