Nothing definite on the battery values yet because everyone seems to vary, but stock ROM, moderate usage with manual brightness and properly adjusted data/wi-fi/bluetooth etc will last you till the evening assuming you unplugged full charge at 7am in the morning.

But it may die on you in 4 hours depending on your setup (like mine). Really, it's a unique thing =D

thanks for that response so it seems the battery life is like SGS II.

But for average use like minor internet , more on phone calls and sms which do u recommend?

I don't really know a lot about SGSII to advise you on that, and these 2 phones have very similar specifications as well.

BUT!, based on build quality and material alone I would say go for the Sensation, Aluminium Unibody build, feels very solid and secure.

And to be honest, design of the SGSII is a bit bland too, and it does look abit like Iphone 4 from far, no wonder apple is suing them. Although Sensation is thicker than SGSII, it will seem thinner and slimmer due to the curved build of the phone, so points for illusion!

bro, when comes to mobile internet there is 2 major things that comes into my concern - screen size and resolution. due to same screen size where both sgs2 and sensation is running on 4.3", what differs is the screen technology and resolution. you might want to have hands on experience to check which phone suits you better. as for phone call and sms, this isnt major issue if you dont like htc sense or touchwiz, you can always use 3rd party launcher / sms application to override the stock application.

i personally havent check sgs2 so far, i read from forum that the over-saturated screen, pink camera spot and plastic feel built is common feedback found, where sensation is the creeking back cover, over-rated death grip, unresponsive touch screen are the common issues.

good luck mate for the phone hunting.

i got the sensation mainly because of HTC sense..it is so beautiful

@lcs87: high 5!

from aria to sensation, i couldnt give up on htc sense for 3rd party launcher. just love the mail widget, calender, location and music widget.

BTW, here's my quick update on 1st charge cycle running on ARHD V.1.1.7:
100% to 20% in 13 hrs 52 mins - 1 hr 55 mins screen up time, 3 mins voice calls, 1 hr 59 mins wifi, 3 mins maps, +-30 mins mobile data /browsing, 15 mins music playing. manual syncing of exchange mail, gmail, weather.

have u or anyone here tried spb shell 3d launcher? any comment?
yesterday i was using spb but after reboot, the spb is uninstall on its own

the *ahem* version that i download didnt work on my aria last time, so i didnt manage to try it out. it works pretty cool from their video posted by the developer. never think of trying with my sensation thou, unless i found a better mail and music widget.

i think it happen bcos of ahem version also which i get it from my fren..he's the one who suggest the spb since sensastion is dual core and he's using incredible(laggy), he so semangat want to see spb shell 3d launcher in live action lol.

semangat = buy app

use ahem app = not really semangat =/

Coz u r using the "ahem" version ...... SPB 3D is a nice launcher for around RM40+ but not for HTC when HTC Sense 3D is almost identical yet with so much more u can customize on it . Choice is yours but IMO , save your money , stick with what u have unless u have some other non Sense devices

I hardly reach my monthly RM30 for phone plan(voice + sms)..even though it call rate is RM0.20 per minit..
this Value First package is not for them who talk a lot

haha yeah, was in europe for 2 weeks lol

i cant wait for unlocked bootloader, gonna install android revolution hd. it seems the best for my usage.

what illusion? I just pay RM999, and get the phone..no upfront what so ever..
I'm already in my Value First plan(that RM30)..then just add up RM78 monthly for the 3Gb data plan..need that data plan coz it would be not making SENSE not to have to..

cheapest? I think it is..

ps: just make sure you don't hit that 3Gb limit mark..3G Watchdog works?

NICE ADVERT FROM SGS2!!! omg fingertut! http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=...248622&comments

I hv a friend on Maxis Iphone 3Gb plan that seem having unlimited data package..emmm..must be that Maxis business package..

hmm, the minimum rm30 and 78 per month with additional charges if exceed quota doesn't sit well with me >_< owh well, thats just me, lol.

I used to use 3G watchdog, but i noticed it kinda drained my battery because it was always running in the background?, uninstalled it. Try Data Counter Widget.

Would like to ask, Is your Sensation have dust in the screen after 1 week of using it?

well mine does. It is getting worse. some of my friend said it is fungus... but it looks like dust to me...

i guess i need to take it back to Digi to change it or warranty or whatever they want to do with it.
So disappointed.

alot of dust? mine gt like 1 speck lol..but i ignore it coz it is hard to notice anyway

if it batt life is like SGS2, than the SGS2 must be sucking the juice more than Sensation..Sensation only having 1520 mAh standard batt while SGS2 is hving 1650 mAh..

to extend batt life is to get higher capacity batt..for Sensation, there's Mugen Power 1800 mAh and Anker 1900 mAh to choose from...
