[Prostreetcrazy]

The best phone from HTC since the HD2

[WorbitJiminage]

@Prostreetcrazy Yeah, I'm upgrading from the HD2 :P

[qwerty19811]

Look at how it wobbles on the table when you touch the screen.

[ecartman12]

Does the htc sensation have that htc sense live wallpaper with all those different colored bubbles our did htc remove that from this handset?

[Savien808]

I just got my htc sensation a few hours ago and i love it! But its missing the widet "My Shelf". Can anybody help me?

[uuby23]

Can you turn off data and network usage

[TheBozoTv]

@uuby23 yeah in the quick settings you can just uncheck MobileNetwork on only leave wifi on, i have it and i love this phone!

[lllllllllll10]

@traster987

Funkoos Bear Organic Sleep Suit...

[jezzee123]

I love this phone :) it's much better than samsung. Camera, Sense and other stuff is just amazing!! <3

[raulsmadrid]

can you use the "weather" as wallpaper?

[SuperTV1935]

@raulsmadrid No, im pretty sure its just the lock screen

[jezzee123]

@raulsmadrid Yes..

[stomplunacy]

The carousel effect is quite cool.I don't hit the home button all the time now.Sense UI is the most easiest and user-friendly operating system.I love my HTC Sensation!

[silverrocket08]

i dont know if anyone else has this problem, but on my sensation lockscreen, i cant put the phone to quick launch. does anyone konw how to fix this.

[KrazyJumper1994]

is it possible to add a lyrics for your songs on the htc like on the iPhone???

[QBNZ]

8:50 LOL! 2 minutes GONE in a second, I wish that was the case at my uni hahaha :p

[reptaboy123]

I was waiting for the iphone 5 then they announced the 4s so i have decided to get this :)

[americanaman]

Very good review

[PrinceNino2010]

Fantastic review

[PrinceNino2010]

I had both the sensation and the samsung Galaxy S2; I personally prefer the sensation due to Sense UI.

[gurgezgirl]

You know the weather bit where it tells you the weather and its animated, does that use the internet to up date the weather each day??

[Jerz1983]

So basically, the Samsung Galaxy S 2 is the best phone in the world, and the sensation is the next best?

[guitargod1298]

i only have 75 widgets?

[flyingjoed]

@itstrentmichael, he say's at 15:20 it's a Vodafone phone. :-)

[itstrentmichael]

Someone please answer. Where did he get this factory unlocked? Hence it not having the T-Mobile logo. I want this phone on AT&T but I don't want that stupid T-Mobile look.

[BreakPics]

i'm getting this, this week! :)

[xTDWPx210x]

looks like you ended up going through all 81 of them d:

[pucidalucida12345]

Hey, I Have social clock n my Desire HD? =.="

[prathameshlabhade]

nothing about battery he says in the entire review

[aleksgaidin]

If i got a dollar for everytime I watched one of these vids before buying a new smartphone i could buy Google.

[alghool2014]

[Dihil1]

[bcarter3110]

Yes

[IvanFlores009]

does this phone run on flash?



[guilherm13w]

this is a awesome smartphone very nice job

[guilherm13w]

this is a awesome smartphone

[hamielgaming]

HTC Sense is the PLUS factor for, well, HTC. XD. HTC Sense 3.0 made me decide to get an HTC sensation rather than a Galaxy s 2

[emaxsolutions]

Best Sensation review I have seen so far, covers Sense 3.0 pretty well. Thanks.

[TheMuhammad08]

I'm selling a htc sensation for £420 it is new with a silicone case, 8 screen protectors and cleaning cloths and one official htc leather pouch .

Check out my video on my channel

Grab a bargain

[CityFlashLights]

@LinkinParkmania7 Sense, a lot better. Lol did the 3.0 and the 4.0 confuse u?

[shubhams95]

@pocketnowvideo : hey brain,did u have some touchscreen issues with the sensation,like the one @ 2:25

[coolnirdz]

Do u need a data plan to use wifi on this phone ( I live in Canada and one of the carriers doesn't require a data plan but I don't know will using wifi cost me

[moizaphenom]

@pocketnowvideo:hey brandon gr8 review can you please do a software review on iphone4 vs htc sensation really need to see them go head to head thanks!

[itech836101]

6 people have iphones!

[gaivoron]

@itech836101 10 the list is growing lol

[itech836101]

im getting this tomorow!

[motorruben]

@itech836101 ur enjoying ur htc? =P

[pucidalucida12345]

@motorruben Yes, I do :)

[motorruben]

@pucidalucida12345

if i had a phone like this.. damn .. lool would be nice! but, well to expensive for me yet :P im thinking about buying a samsung galaxy ace

[rasmussfodbold]

What about Games, can it handle all games in the Market?

[superdude4380]

@rasmussfodbold actually looks to have problems with compatibility, but should be sufficiently powerful.

[CityFlashLights]

@rasmussfodbold No problems with compatability. Every app listed on the market should work exceptionally on this phone

[rasmussfodbold]

@CityFlashLights TY :)



[TheGuilanvi]

why weather? is it that importante?

[CityFlashLights]

@TheGuilanvi what?

[CFaye09]

I'm posting this from my sensation and I love it! camera is not fucking poor mine don't lag and I have not had the death grip so and battery life is awesome that is all

[darkshadows3]

pretty sure that sense causes the phone to lag..

[eeqrock]

@LinkinParkmania7 what are you so confused about? of course sense v3.0 it's better.. but you can see, that samsung galaxy sII is almost never lag, and sensation is a little bit behind.. plus galaxy sII browser can play 1080 video on youtube effortlessly.. if that doesn't bother you, then go for sensation..

[CityFlashLights]

@eeqrock sensation can also shoot and playback 1080p videos

[eeqrock]

@CityFlashLights well if it can't then the processor is such a waste.. btw, so is galaxy sII and a couple of other dual core smartphone..

[pucidalucida12345]

@eeqrock They may buy this phone for gaming, iPhone 5 also will have dual core, it's marketing strategy boy, they ask you to buy something that you don't need to buy :)

[eeqrock]

@pucidalucida12345 i don't why the hell this conversation lead to marketing strategy stuff. all i'm saying at my first comment is sensation can't play 1080 video ON YOUTUBE. i never said it can't SHOOT 1080 video or play 1080 video in the phone storage. but i don't know maybe a software update will enable this.

@pucidalucida: if you read my comment carefully you may know that it is not my point that dual core is a waste.. i'm saying it WILL be a waste IF it can't shoot and playback 1080 video.

[pucidalucida12345]

@eeqrock Really? I jut think Sensation able to play it ~.~

Yeah, sorry, I didn't read your previous comments #toomuchofthem

BTW nice info, thx :)

[eeqrock]

@pucidalucida12345 i'm referring to my comment that you replied.. it's not my opinion that sensation can't play 1080 vid on youtube, i read that on gsmarena.. but feel free to see for yourself.. :)

[TalentCool24]

@LinkinParkmania7 Htc sense all the way!!

[Vicasc07]

Sense 3.0 is the better Android customization... much more than Touchwiz (Samsung) and MotoBlur (Motorola)!!!

[r3v4n23]

Those that adore HTC Sense obviously haven't tried stock Android yet. 

[Gurksallad10]

@r3v4n23 HAHAHAHA are you kidding? have you even watched the video?

[CityFlashLights]

@r3v4n23 Youre a joke

[MrSammyesparza]

Getting pretty bored with touchwiz. Time to try sense :-)

[ushahossain]

to all of those who r saying they prefer the sense!!! why is ur sense so slow? :P

[onyxjr17]

im not really a fan of htc sense at all (period).

[AlexMangekyo]

Yea yea...HTC Sense here HTC Sense there, but Sensation has a poor camera, and if you care about the camera it's terrible.

[CityFlashLights]

@AlexMangekyo It does not have a poor camera. it is better at taking still pictures that the GSII

[AlexMangekyo]

@CityFlashLights YES my friend, HTC Sensation has poor sound quality, a 1080 pixels image quality CAN'T just can't have a poor AUDIO quality, or can it? Because if it CAN'T , then it can't be HD but only HQ and HTC makes mistakes.I'm only realistic....and it's my opinion then....^^

[CityFlashLights]

@AlexMangekyo Then you say the Sensation has poor audio quality, not a poor camera, the two are in no way the same thing.

[AlexMangekyo]

@CityFlashLights Yes....

[pucidalucida12345]

@AlexMangekyo I'm also realistic, those things aren't important for me,, the UI, feature (including built in Wifi Portbl Hotspot), customization, built quality, and price is the + point bro :)

[ShojenVampward14]

I love the weather app. <3 That's what first hooked me to HTC. I love them.

[justinnv00]

Your voice Is almost annoying as the weather sound thing lol

[CCsWorld1]

Hey Brandon, what type of camcorder/camera are you using for your videos?

[vasilijejerotic]

does htc sensation have a bluetooth?

[agent00klc]

@vasilijejerotic

yes...

[vasilijejerotic]

@agent00klc thanks :D

[daliaalameen]

simply I LOVE HTC

[steph2k10]

i dont understand how you can show someone IOS and HTC Sence and they still pick IOS .... i work in a mobile shop and i get it everyday ... its unbearable

[draconisxz]

@steph2k10 because of all the bugs and not having all the cool IOS Apps. I have HTC desire and i want to throw in the wall 2 times a day. Low memory for installing apps, various bugs and stuff, low battery and so on.

[casperinmd]

@steph2k10 Tell then Sense is from Apple, they will then pick Sense over the real iOS. Do the test...see what they say.

[pucidalucida12345]

@steph2k10 Yes, because they can't use complex OS like android, most people are comfortable to use something easy like iOS, except for gadget freak I guess :)

[zbox720]

@steph2k10 I agree in terms of the OS, but what almost sways me every time is the apps on iPhone. In the end I prefer Android's flexibility, but I will always say iOS has Android beat for apps, which is a shame

[hellokevinrice]

@steph2k10 Cause iOS is a huge factor.

[conmancleall0]

@steph2k10 Why the fuck would you care? If you work in a mobile shop you work on commission if anything you want as many people as possible to buy iPhones....

[steph2k10]

@conmancleall0 what commission an iphone sells its self

[conmancleall0]

@steph2k10 Well surely the more phones you sell the more money you get?

[tiralex]

@conmancleall0 It was just hes opinion...

[Smallie7]

is it true that this phone suffers from the death grip? if so is it common and really annoying?

[greenboarder89]

@Smallie7 Ive heard most people say that it does not have the death grip issue. If it does, Im sure the retailer will replace it for you.

[TheChy1225]

Sweet!

[Caseyissuperawesome]

but does it have a golden voice?

[tellmerockky]

does it have the helicopter view?

[chekorama1]

great review but gingerbread 2.3.3 isn't  the latest version of android the real latest version is 2.3.4

[backlashsid]

the keyboard looks a little diffrent...

[Reeyn92]

How responsive is the phone? Does it lag or slow-down?

[meSIRENA]

DOES IT PLAY NETFlix? that is the question

[arofluv]

@meSIRENA Yep, it should.

[travisjow]

i'm from singapore and i wonder if i can use the movie application in my country..i'm afraid of licensing rights and stuff and not allowing me to use that application at all.. you guys have any idea if my location is going to be a problem for me using the phone to it's full potential?

[lilwilly77584]

It is annoying.. Great phone..

[dablackpimp]

i reckon the htc OS is way bettr, than the SGS2's, touchwiz os... by farr!!

[electrba]

This phone is cool 

[AlbertVonGrimm]

great, ads won't load so I can't watch the review..

[greenboarder89]

@AlbertVonGrimm adblock plus ftw

[H0n24x]

Wow...so many jerks measuring their dicks, almost like Win vs. Mac :D

[Supernova1295]

I like sense but i still went with the SGS2.

Now i'm using ADW ex / launcher pro plus and i think its MUCH better than sense 3.0.

So the sgs2 beastly hardware + awesome launcher softwares = a pure godly phone.

i admit physically the sensation bests the galaxy s2 but i am using a really good case so i don't really care about that either.

[aalexmiller]

Fantastic video, I love the depth you have gone into, don't worry about it being too long because we can jump around.

[DiogoBailao]

Very good review!!!

[archaicalbeast]

love my DHD with 3.0 sensation can wait ;)

[MelvinSF]

One thing I dislike about Sense is its 'dock bar' with the giant phone button and personalization button. I don't need or want those there. It's also just a little..too much, in terms of design. I'd rather keep it simple. I like the look of stock Gingerbread better.

But it has its qualities, for sure. The new lock screen is genius.

[rich64bit]

Woot, Brian you rock the HTC!

[kimimclaren9058]

This phone really lives up to its name! 

[loadstone007]

I don't like the UI... HTC tends to annoy me with their Sense. I won't make the same mistake I made buying a HTC device.

[Janis91]

Great phone, great review.

[obefiend]

Brian Miniman is the best phone reviewer ever...... keep up the good job Pocketnow. Loving all your videos

[obefiend]

hi this is brian minenenenenemen

[mtube1990]

The application tray and quick settings are not new to Sense 3.0. They've been there since Sense 2.1. So has the social stream clock widget.

[MrDonnie54]

Phones without sense make no sense

[AudiBoison]

@MrDonnie54 HTC fanboy :)

[AdamiXko]

@AudiBoison I am so HTC fanboy, as i am fanboy of Samsung and another brands ;) (Apple included)

[CrazedTeenz]

@MrDonnie54 copyer

[WildDanHibiki]

htc's ui is by far the most polished of any android phone. if this phone had the sweet amoled screen that samsung had it'd be a killer and an instant buy from me!

[Jerz1983]

The galaxy s2 beats this phone in three areas. Memory, free memory and speed. s2 comes with the option of 16g or 32g. It also has 500mb of free memory, the sensation only has 189m. And the s2 is the fastest phone period

[trekest]

@Jerz1983 You forgot to mention it has more memory. Why must all S2 owners over compensate themselves when it comes to this phone? Are you really feeling intimidated?

[AdamiXko]

@Jerz1983 And Sensation beats galaxy s2 because of HTC Sense. I don't care about phones without HTC Sense, because they don't have any sense and are unuseful for me. :)

[Jerz1983]

@AdamiXko Listen, Im trying to save u from making dumb decsion, based on misrepresentation. The s2 blows the sensation out of the water. U can down load app for sense on the s2, I saw it in the market. So now u dont specifically need HTC, to have a sense UI, there are apps for it

[AdamiXko]

@Jerz1983 I just want to say you, I don't care that samsung is little bit faster, but Sensation is easier to use. Firstly try to use some device with HTC Sense and WVGA+ screen. U can't download HTC Sense from market. HTC Sense is not only Homescreen and widgets

[Jerz1983]

@AdamiXko Again, u can download the sense UI. And actually, Touch Wiz on the Samsung galaxy IS WAY EASIER TO USE than Sense UI. But go ahead and waste ur money. But b4 u do, watch the galaxy s2 vs sensation vid, and u will c, that S2 is better overral

[AdamiXko]

@Jerz1983 Cau u pls post a link, where i can download HTS Sense for SGS2? Did u allready tested these 2 devices? No for 2 questions? So shut up

[Jerz1983]

@AdamiXko If u r really this stupid, to buy a phone, simply based on the UI, and not on the memory, free memory, front facing camera mp, speed, screen resolution, then u deserve what u get. U r gonna so many problems with that phone, that u aren't gonna have to worry about with the Galaxy s2. Like said, if u wanna waste ur money, then go ahead. But I dont know anyone dumb enough to buy a phone solely on th UI. Just cause it looks good, DOESN'T MEAN THE PHONE IS

[fCastle65]

@Jerz1983 Yeah, I wold like more internal memory on the Sensation. 1gb will do as I'm not planning on loading every app on the market in it. My 16gb micro sd will handle the rest quite nicely. Ok, the ffc on the sgs2 is higher res. Is that a deal breaker? Nope. Screen resolution? Come again? SAMOLED Plus has higher contrast but Sensation has higher resolution. 2 different devices for people with different taste.......NEXT!

[Jerz1983]

@fCastle65 lol I can tell u dont know anything about phones. Theres apps that go straight to ur phone that isn't movable to the SD, so u will run out of space with 1g. 2nd U can c ur screen in sunlight with the g2s because of the super amoled, NOT WITH SENSE UI PHONES. And since the vga on the sensation is only at .3 Ur vid chats are gonna be fuzzy, skipping and dropping. Not with 2mp with gs2. Every reviewer who has done a sensation and gs2 review, said GS2 IS BETTER, cause they know phones

[aiiishiba]

@Jerz1983 lol htc sensation has good hardware, what r u talking about. the good UI is just a really good bonus

[aiiishiba]

@Jerz1983 i will agree that the s2 is a -little bit- better than the sensation, but you need to relax, its not the end of the world having a sensation instead of the s2

[Jerz1983]

@aiiishiba No u need 2 relax. Im only responding 2 ppl who dont know phones. I can care less if u buy it or not. But ur gonna suffer from it in the long run anyway

[fCastle65]

@AdamiXko ...Agreed. Yeah, SGSII is a little faster but dropping the Sense UI over that B-O-R-I-N-G TouchWiz interface would most likely slow it down anyhow. So, if you care how your device looks, it just makes more SENSE to have the Sensation. :)

[AudiBoison]

@AdamiXko you're just a big HTC fanboy :)

[syedbb62]

@AdamiXko yeah...rite... from: pakistan

[CrazedTeenz]

@AdamiXko copier

[c510sony1]

no comments?!

[Runningdap]

beautiful

[TheFrozen1988]

I really Love ur Reviews well done :)

[AlexGP90]

Battery went from 100 to 95 in a matter of minutes, how`s the battery life overall?

[Zaudon95]

@AlexGP90 5% in about 15 mins of non-stop usage. by today's standards i think thats pretty good.

[kevinslee0103]

you really are the best reviewer... two thumbs up..

[toonygamer2004]

Excellent looking UI. I am impressed with the slight improvements. The use of the higher resolution is really great to see. I look forward to my purchase of this phone on T-Mobile.

Still kind of a bummer that it doesn't handle flash content in the web browser as well as Samsung's GSII does, but it still looks quite functional.

I shall test it for myself personally in store.

[Smallie7]

:)

[h3csc]

May I know how much RAM the Sensation has upon startup?

[sonnguyen69]

awesome phone! wanting this badly!
