[Q] Questions About Phone Choice

[BrokenWall]

I am allowed to switch my phone to a phone that has Wi-Fi calling, since where I am living now doesn't have a cell signal. I am allowed to pick any phone I want.

I am choosing between the G2X and the HTC Sensation 4G.

For you sensation guys I have a few questions.

Switching out the rom is very important for me, as I perfer light pure android (why I currently have a Nexus S) though I am about to loose my beautiful SAMOLED screen.

Wi-Fi Calling as well is very important and I would like to make sure I can use this on other roms like CM7 and any of the other roms available.

Now how long do we have to wait for new kernels for the HTC phones, since I am currently only use to the Nexus S, it gets everything very quick as well as kernel updates for AOSP.

But I like the look and feel of both phones, but for me Wifi calling so I can be reached at my new location in the meantime. So do the other ROMs come with this built in, or is an app that is available for me to download and install.

Also how far along has CWM Recovery or other recoveries come along with this phone.

I thought we had roms since there are some listed in the development section. But siince the boot loader is still locked then we can't do a recovery or install new roms you mean?

Nothing for now. And FYI, the G2X constanly reboots for no reason, so that option isn't a good one either (unless they fixed it since I sold mine).

My Nexus S use to have the Random reboot issue, almost daily, now its down to about 1 random reboot a month or less.

I feel like I want the sensation cause of the new cpu (tegra 2 is a bit dated) and the screen is higher resolution. So as soon as we get root and the unlocked bootloader as HTC has promised, then things will change greatly correct?

Oh hell yea things will change!!! Once you can root the Sensation it will be unstoppable! Go with the Sensation for sure. I have had every phone know to man, and this one has topped them all.

This should answer most of your questions about the Sensation:

As I am thinking about it more and more I it looks like I will be getting a Sensation 4G.

Though I am thinking about how much I will miss my SuperAMOLED Screen, Voodoo Sound, though to me the sound is more important cause I use my phone for music at least 3 hours a day while riding to work and back on my motorcycle.
