The 1 You Been Looking For.
I know there were several same threads about this, but what a hell I opened a new one :D

I have now Desire Bravo with new "Gingerbread" and it sucks I mean that GB phone is super and I really don't want to sell him but he is getting old and have that little internal memory. I didn't root him becouse I still don't know how to do that and he still under warranty so I don't want to lose that If I sell him. I was planing to buy myself new device, Sensation really look nice and what I see software is really cool but when I read the review alot of users are not that satisfied with device I bumped on this clip on youtube and alot of peoples are having the same problem and saying that device is restarting by it self often, so can you peoples tell me do you have same issues with your Sensation and would you suggest me to buy it, or should I buy some other device.

im kind of in the same boat as yourself my desire works well and is a amoled version im sure there will be plenty of people that will say it is worth the upgrade.

However after following this forum for a while ive decided to hold of , seems the build quality of the sensation is just not that great , problems noticed on threads

wifi death grip , unresponsive screen , poor display (ghosting) viewing angles after image lag , noticed this one first hand in shop lets not forget the dust under screen.

No way am i risking getting lumbered with a phone like this for 18 mnths that has so many issues so im going to wait for newer revisions like what happened with our desire(s) ie hd and s version or skip this phone altogether.

TBH although i like sense im not to keen on sense 3 either seems kinda shoddy , i mean low battery on this new sense is now a block in middle of screen which is the same for music player. On previous version low battery was in background and the music player was intergrated into the lock screen very nicely. It seems in some areas sense 3 has evolved nicely and in others its gone backwards.

Just my 2 cents :D

My Desire bravo is amoled two and I bought 16Gb class 10 memory and he was in gel mask from the first day and screenprotector was on from the first day two, no scratches or anything, he looks like he was bought this second. So I really like him and HTC really **** it up with that "GB" acctualy it's just a number 2.3.3 there is no G from Gingerbread sadly. So I was thinking of selling him + add some money and buy Sensation but he have alot of bugs as I saw and as I hear here and on other mobile forum and places, so I am not sure now if I wait for another revision or another phone, price of my Desire will go lower and lower so I would have to add more and more money when + money of my desire, if you understand.

defintly , the desire is still going for a great price second hand and providing you can get a sensation without bugs i imagine u should be very happy :)

I did think of selling mine to fund upgrade but its been such a great phone that id like to keep when i do upgrade.
