[HTC Sensation] Habbit:
Since technology advances so quickly, if we think of technological developments in dog years, then one year of a device's lifespan is comparable to quite a few years technologically. Regardless of system build or user interface, a device released today should not need an excuse like the one you've made to justify its similar performance to one that was released two years ago, and is running a hacked version of the operating system.

And since we're discussing invalidated claims, I disregarded yours simply because, again, referencing the previous Youtube uploads, the Galaxy S2 doesn't need an excuse to operate better than both the Sensation or a HD2 loaded with CyanogenMod. Regardless of the circumstances... I'm cheap, and there's no way in hell I'm spending money on the HTC Sensation if it can perform slightly better than a two year old phone.

Why are you talking about the Galaxy S? Maybe it was a ****ty product... I wouldn't know, I've never owned one, nor do I care enough about it to research the problems it possessed. I do know that Samsung has shown appreciable effort in the past month, quickly addressing issues with the Galaxy S2, opposite of their attitude with the phone's little brother. In a couple of months we'll be able to discern whether or not the product is a true lemon, but to claim the Galaxy S2 will suffer from the same or similar problems as the Galaxy S simply because it's of the Galaxy S series is eerily reminiscent of the same feverish fanboyism you earlier accused me of.

But regardless, Samsung has released updates fixing some of the obscure issues plaguing the Galaxy S2, while (from what most are saying) HTC will need to release updates to improve lousy browser performance, annoying user interface interactions, sub-par photographical capabilities, among other things. The thing is... I'm cheap, and there's no way in hell I'm spending money on the HTC Sensation if it possesses the same simpleretardfuck problems HTC phones have had for the past two years.

So much past tense.

Valid, which is why my previous smartphone purchases have been HTC phones. Your loyalism to the company rather than the product is where you're making the mistake; you're blinded by the 'golden era' of HTC phones. That period is over... Technology changes rapidly and 'empires' don't last as long as they used to.

HTC is content with releasing the same phone in a new box every half a year and they're completely fine not resolving the same problems almost all their previous phones possess, such as ridiculously short battery life, poor camera performance, and mediocre implementation of the Sense user interface. Instead, they're content with sprinkling some 3D animations over the top and designing a movie application that, for the most part, is unneeded in light of the annoyances of their user interface.

But I'm not gonna lie, that lockscreen goes hard.

Anyway, if the phone performed as admirably as the Galaxy S2 (not an uncalled for expectation) other than having a cuter interface and slightly more appealing design, I'd forgive HTC for purposely crippling the hardware. And unless future updates address my concerns... I'm cheap, and there's no way in hell I'm spending money on HTC's circumcised version of the EVO 3D.

For all your claims of my Samsung ****-riding, unless the phone comes to Magenta, I won't be purchasing it. I have no loyalty to companies or brands, just phones that work as I want them to. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the sustainability of the HD2 but... I'm cheap, and I won't be buying the HTC Sensation if there is a vastly superior alternative on T-Mobile's horizon.
