For people unsure whether to buy!

---

Ok....pro-tip for you guys unsure whether the sensation is the right device for you:

I was like you once...not many days ago....constantly on here, waiting for reviews....being very critical of what people had to say about it....then i just figure

Vodafone have a 7 day returns policy.....completely free...as is the insurance (incase you lose it)...so take advantage of it!

I bought mine on Tuesday with the sole purpose of knowing i had a 7 day test phase.

I'm happy with the device, Vodafone have been alright, signal is on par if not better than t-mobile.

I'm not as picky as some people on here that expect 0% lag....guys...it's going to lag for whatever reason at some point. It's not everytime though and tbh...complaining about lag on the sensation is being very anal as it doesn't do it enough to annoy.

The cameras good, Internal memory is more than enough (a big one for people that think it's not good enough, seriously...


Here's my app brain details

Device:
HTC Sensation Z710e(last sync 32 sec ago)

Apps:
150 total, 125 free (83%), 25 paid (16%)

Total Size:
364MB

Total price (currently):
$77.56

After moving what i need to to th SD card with Apps2sd i still have 858mb left of internal memory.....not bad....pretty sure i wont have any problems with a few more apps (or another 200 perhaps)



Anyway, just my opinion on a few things

I am getting the sensation but I am waiting for the sim free handsets to be released. Probably will also have an upgraded roms with few bug fixes when those comes out

Just for info the vodafone handsets in the uk are sim free but do have vodafone branding although it is minimal and until they are unlocked, if ever, then you will be tied to vodafone rom updates.

I've had mine nearly a week and I'm pretty impressed. Admittedly not quite as blown away as I was expecting, but am very satisfied.

I think the build quality is good and I really like the design. I appreciate the slightly longer narrower style; it feels smaller than the HD2 in my hand, and is easier to use one handed.

I am using Launcher Pro (I like the space for extra shortcuts in the dock), which is silky smooth, and goes nicely in combination with the HTC lock screen and HTC notifications bar.

Battery life is pretty good - regularly getting two days, including browsing/gaming/music on the train, and with exchange push enabled.

Have no complaints about signal quality, and GPS fix is very fast (faster that my dedicated car GPS).

The Vodafone branding is minimal, I just hope they are quick in releasing updates when HTC release them.

All in all, very happy with my purchase.

2 days battery? what games are you playing, 'touch the blank screen'?


If i knew how to take a screen shot of my battery stats i would, but at the moment i'm sitting at 15% 9h 15m 54s, wifi on constantly with heavy usage (most of the day, been in a non wifi place though)

I dont want any branding on my phone or any pre-installed voda apps

the Dutch versions are all unbranded !!!

Are these the same bands as the ones in the US? I'm trying to find a Sensation that'll work with Bell Mobility Canada.

Where can I buy a dutch sensation online?

Im still unsure if I buy this or wait for next one.
I really love the new Sense 3.0 but still after watching videos and so on I also want to test it before I buy.
What worries me is the battery life and size of the phone.

Also next phone will be my first HTC.
Im sure that I want one with the new Sense on it.
