Should I jump from my Atrix to the Sensation??

[Wond3r]

Is the Sensation an upgrade?

So I do like my Atrix but I have the chance to do a straight trade for a Sensation.

I love Sense and would like a better camera.

Atrix does have 16gb vs the Sensation and its 8gb card, but I hardly have any space used up on mine. Its just photos and apps that are taking space pretty much - maybe 4 songs.

I dont use webtop. I like knowing the Atrix has the HDMI out and for the sensation - it has the option to do it but you need to buy the adapter cable. As much as I like the thought of that feature, I havent even used it yet lol.

I know the battery life on the Atrix is obviously better. I would buy a spare battery for the Sensation though and just keep it in my wallet just in case, like I used to do with my Motorola Milestone. The battery isnt very big.

Both have the same resolution and qhd.

The ROM support on the Atrix is lacking, and it looks very populated on the Sensation.
My girlfriend has the Desire which I have ROM'ed for her and its ROM support is very active and up to date for a phone of that age - I can expect the same for the Sensation?

Anything about the Atrix that is worth keeping over the Sensation?

Anything about the Sensation that should warrant the trade to it?

Thanks guys


Also I am Very worried abou the dust under screen issue I keep reading all over the internet about with this phone!
Right now the Sensation is pretty much brand new and hardly used, with no dust yet.
I wouldnt know how to prevent the dust from getting under there.

edit : Im in Canada, so the US provider war doesnt apply either lol

What is funny is that I was thinking of selling my Sensation and getting a Atrix... but my co-worker asked me if I was insane.

He then pointed me to level of ROM work being done for Sensation, HD, EVO, Inspire and said the development environment for this HTC lineup is far superior to the MOTO lineup.

However... i'd wait off buying an Atrix until google does what it wants with Motorola Mobile and see if Google can make a kick ass phone with great support.

Any more feedback?

One word. One, word.
Yes.

I've had atrix, sgs2 and sensation. Sensation is the best by a country mile.

Any reason that the Sensation is better?

Is there dust on the inside of your screen?

See? It's all opinion. If you can, go play with the phones and quickly test them yourself, I would choose the SGS2 over my sensation if I could.

Make like a frog and leap to the S4G!

No dust underneath the screens of the two Sensation's I've owned.

I hope some of you guys are not just saying to take the leap because you own one haha

 

[infamousjax]

sensation is the better phone... the community support and superior HTC build quality makes it a no-brainer. Also, Sense is much better than *blur.

I live in Canada and I made the exact same trade. I really enjoyed my Atrix but the bigger screen (and nicer screen) and better build quality of the Sensation was enough of a bonus to sacrifice the extra internal storage and extra ram of the Atrix. I never used the hdmi port on the Atrix and the lapdock got old very quickly. I have found battery life to be quite similar between the two devices, with a slight edge going to the Atrix. The dev community is much bigger for the Sensation and I like Sense infinitely better than Blur, which was another reason why I justified making the trade. I should mention that I managed to get some dust underneath the screen of my Sensation, but I work in a very dusty environment so it was my own stupid fault for using it. All in all, I'm happy with my decision. Hope this helps.

I think I may be leaning towards the trade now. I do feel bad about my phone case though, I got a kiwi Ringke casefor the atrix that I love but they don't have them for the sensation yet.

No. Get the Amaze. More RAM, Better Camera, more memory and better front facing camera and same candy bar build.

The trade he's considering isn't an Amaze. It's sensation, or no trade. Your suggestion is irrelevant.
