I'm thinking to make sensation as my 2nd phone just to play around (tweak,rom,kernel,etc.) with it. But i confuse, can sensation be like sensation xe? oc'ed to 1.5ghz and beats audio? Means its software can be exactly like XE? the hardware for sure cannot like the red thingy.
Is both phone can use exact same rom? I read at 1st page, need to s-off 1st to root,etc. Which for sure aboid the warranty. But what if something happens and i want to claim warranty. Can i s-on it back? will htc know that i already s-off and cannot accept my warranty claim?
Lastly, which one i should go? sensation or sensation xe? Please enlighten me!
Thank you so much!

Pasting my answer so people can refer and correct me if I am wrong.

Hello, I'd prefer if you post this in the forum rather than PMing me. That way, you can have opinions from other experts. As for my answer, Yes, mine is the normal HTC Sensation running on 1.6Ghz Dual Core and still going on stable. Sorry, but you cannot get the beats audio. It's basically a Sensation XE hardware difference than the Sensation.
When you S-Off to get rooted, you are voiding your warranty. As far as I know that is. That is why I suggest you copy paste this back in the forum so people can give you their opinion. Yes you can S-On your phone back. But I don't guarantee you can re-void your warranty. If you're buying between Sensation or Sensation XE, get XE.
What is your budget? If you have a high budget list, and not too interested in customizing, I'd suggest you straight away go for the new HTC One X. A lot better. Or you can wait later when a new developer comes out with customs for One X.
P/S: Do re-post this back on the forum, my advice. And you're most welcome.
