[INFO] Got to play with one!

[russbustah]

Was amazingly thin and really didn't seem big for a 4.3". Felt like I was holding a Nexus One. Was a test unit given to a regional rep, but it felt awesome in the hand.

Camera was great. I was informed that it was shipping with Android 2.3 and sense 3.0 by the rep as well.

Been using a G2X for two weeks and I seriously can't stand it, just switched back to my MT4G. Getting a Sensation when it comes out for sure.

Have you - by any chance - ever had a Desire HD so you can compare these two flagships? I'm really wondering if the Sensation is that much of an upgrade. Of course, better hardware, better battery (even though the wake-times on the htc-page are even lower thant the one of the DHD...), nice dual core..

Just wondering.

Great to hear that it has that Nexus One feel. Anyone who's held one knows what a wonderful presence in hand it has.

The G2x has the Tegra 2 going for it, and that's all. Many are having no problems, but many are, not to mention that it just didn't _feel_ right.

I'm looking forward to giving this a shot and hope it'll keep me from buying an SGSII.

thanks for the info and good news

Unfortunately I've never had the chance to handle a Desire HD, I used to own an HD2, and it felt a lot smaller than that.

The mobile gaming with the Tegra 2 is awesome, I'm fairly confident the 1.2ghz chip from Qualcomm will be comparable or perhaps even better, though in the graphics department that is debatable.

Oh well, after trying to use a few devices, I'm still happy with my MT4G, can't stand Galaxy S phones, might be the way they feel. And the G2X just wasn't good.

Good to hear!
I hope HTC upgraded the speaker power this time, DHD and N1 have too quiet volume output even with tweaks.
As for the screen contrast reaching the Arc level will be a very good surprise!
We need something to match super amoled + so qHD with high contrast will be better.

I can not wait for the Sensation! I will trade my truck for one right now! I played with a G2X in a Tmobile store and got ta say I was not impressed, the space from the bottom of the phone to the screen where the soft buttons are, are abnormally BIG!, Made the phone feel qerky! Just doesnt have that HTC feel (Quality)!

The G2x feels like a truck, and it really isn't what I was hoping for. My HTC experience spans quite a few years but the Nexus One has been so good that I'm looking for something like that again.

I get the feeling the Sensation is that phone.
