[Q] Few questions about the phone

[Axxess]

The Sensation looks like a grat phone .
A few questions remain :

Is it maybe plausible to have custom ROM on it ?

Is the screen (glass) durable ?

Isn't Sense eating away a bit amount of RAM ?

Why is this phone better than the Nexus S ?

No ROOT = No warez APKs ?

thanx for the help in advance

Custom roms, no not yet. Need bootloader hack

Glass, very durable. Has gorilla glass confirmed

Better than Nexus s cause it has dual core processor, more ram, newer (not sure if better yet) video chip

Dunno about sense and ram yet. As it is new 3.0 sense, no one done extensive testing yet

No root does mean no warez apps, but you should give credit where due for developers. Apps are usually only $1. Are you trying to tell me you can afford a new top shelf android phone but can't afford $1 for an app

Root won't be far away after its actually released. You do know its not out yet

Omgwarez is still attainable without root, not that im promoting it. As long as sideloading is enabled, any apk is installable. I beta test apps on a non rooted mytouch. Apks install with no prob.

Again, not promoting it.

I have no issues with paying for the apps but I don't have a Credit card.

Why is this phone better than the Nexus S ?

Because the nexus s is made of plastic

Because the nexus s is made of plastic

Ehm.. This can't be serious , can it ?
Means that the nexus s has no durability

Is it maybe plausible to have custom ROM on it ? Not yet, but it will probably will be in the future.

Is the screen (glass) durable ? The glass surface is curved at boundry's so that it won't touch the underground when you lay it down and won't scratch. Besides that it's made from gorilla glass.

Isn't Sense eating away a bit amount of RAM ? Yes a bit, but you get a lot of nice features in return. eg the new lock screen.

Why is this phone better than the Nexus S ? it's dual core!

No ROOT = No warez APKs ? You can install apps even if it's not rooted when you check the box Onbekende bronnen

It's not with the final product. The software is running on the Pyramid version, which is beta and doesn't make use of both cores.

thats looks like a vid from pre release Pyramid rom

from what i remember quandrant wasnt and i think still isnt optimized
for both cores, so im guessing that score is running on only one core. at very least
the pyramid rom not optimized for both cores

plus those benchmarks arent the end all tell of performance, people put too much faith in benchmarks.

wait for final release, real world performance before you write it off. thats when ill make my decision
