Unfortunately, Sensation is cap at 16 mbps. I'm gonna be getting one of those phone but don't know which one it's gonna be a hard decision.

Also, before anyone asks, it's a hardware cap and there's not way to make it so the sensation can support the 42 mbps speed.

This is just semantics but.. 14.4 Mbps is the down cap. 5.7 Mbps on uploads.

I have personally used the a new tmous htc phone thats coming out, it was coined the 'ruby' at the time. I was told it had a 23 Mbps cap and it was pulling in speeds of around

6000 kbps vs my sensation which usually gets around 4500.

*edit* my 2 cents on those phones. Samsung makes a great product but the build quality on those galaxy phones is sub par imo. They are made of plastic! sure its a light device... i personally dont put a gel skin or anything on my phone (naked) so i would choose the htc in that case. Similar specs and a sleeker build quality! tho samsung screens are awesome... dont rack your brain over it, both phones will be awesome!
