Tho I might get it just so I can do my own review. I have been thinking about getting into the gadget reviewing business lately. Posting videos on youtube or making my own blog. We will see :) And then I would just send the phone back or resell it and use the loss as a tax write off for business purposes.

Locked/signed bootloader= no buy. Ever.

Unlocked/hackable bootloader= insta buy.

Ill get a SGS2 if the sensation is signed. Or a G2x I suppose.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
+1 got g2 on launchday. Returned cause of hinge.

Got mytouch 4g after 2days it was released. Just to find out that half of the device comes with washed out screen.

Came back to g2 after going thru few phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] asj2583:
Same here. Ill be picking one up and passing the g2 to my wife. Not sure if she'll want it since she has an evo right now and this would be a downgrade to her. I'm coming from a samsung epic 4g and after waiting forever for samsung to update the epic to froyo I was done. I'm staying the hell away from samsung.

Edit: just found out htc won't be locking bootloaders! Check it out. http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-a...mpaign=Feed:+androidcentral+(Android+Central)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Richard1510:
I will keep my G2. BTW asj2583. You read the story wrong. HTC will not be locking bootloaders anymore. The phones will be unlocked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] carsenj:
Meh. It's just another 4" touchscreen phone. Most people have the G2 because it has a dedicated HW keyboard. I tried the whole touchscreen thing with the MYT4G and the HD2 with hardspl and droid and I hated every minute of it. Can't wait to see what the G3 will have in store for us.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chris2busy:
Locked bootloader.....Checkmate

Nothing to see here, move along.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Htc is going to unlock the bootloaders.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chris2busy:
NONONONONONO...

If that was the case, i migh have actually considered the device..they changed their FUTURE policy..evo 3d,sensation,desire s,incredible s are screwed...nothing confirmed yet..and we all know what that means.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/26/htc-officially-dissolves-locked-bootlader-policy/
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Not what I've read.

You should check the sensation forums.

And stop being so over dramatic "NONONONONONO...."
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
So if its gonna affect the EVO 3D, it probably a safe bet its gonna affect the Sensation and the others, maybe an OTA update with and unlocked bootloader.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LikeaG2root:
With all the great roms and numerous developing available for the G2 why switch now? The G2's ability to "keep up" gives us plenty of time to wait for for the next version of G2 or another superphone that includes every option and developing that we could want.

Why rush to buy a phone with many questions? At the fast rate these phones are being launched why spend so much $ when you already have a quality product in hand? Unless you have money to burn...try and enjoy your current G2 until its abilities are "severely" outdated or through your contracts. You will save time and money :)

Still buying one....:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] leikamkei:
I wouldn't mind getting it, considering it's a spec bump from the G2.. But I'm a happy camper with my G2 for the moment. Plus I'm too broke to be shelling out $500(Is that right?) since I'm under contract :p

[G2 and Desire Z General] Beagan:

[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
I will probably get the Sensation but will be keeping my G2 also. I would like the larger higher resolution screen.

I am very happy with my G2 and for the first time in years am not dying for a new phone. If the Sensation impresses me I'll get one, otherwise I'll stick with the G2 until something does. My store just got the dummy in and I like the size of the sensation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kevinmac2049:
i had a G2 after 6 months of release before that i had the Samsung Vibrant , i sold the G2 for the Sidekick 4G (BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!) i missed the roms and kernels that i sold the Sidekick , then i got the MT4G but i needed a keyboard so now im back to the G2

most likely i am going to get the sensation looks good and i really like the sense 3.0 but no when it comes out ima wait it out a bit

G2x or sensation.. great phones by the looks of it. But I just can't live without a physical keyboard..
[G2 and Desire Z General] Richard1510:
I feel the same way. I like a lot of different phones but just need a physical keyboard. When I use the on screen keyboard it's like using my forehead to type.
[G2 and Desire Z General] more.then.fiction:
Very good point. Why change something that's worked so well for so long? I'm a flashaholic. No doubt about it. So my thinking is that every flashy new smartphone is going to pull our wonderful devs away. Without their efforts I think we'd all have moved on already. That said I'm not gonna start looking for my next phone till my contract is up in November or my favorite Rom is abandoned. Even if the Sensation is what I want it'll save me from paying premium price.

banging on fools from my HTC Troll
[G2 and Desire Z General] zanson:
I don't see a point in switching to another phone since I just got this one... works better then expected, and from what I have see the g2x is having some fun issues. Actually glad I didn't wait to get one and have this phone.

I wpild miss the kb anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pernellparents:
Not right now

The Htc sensation does look like a powerful phone, but the only reason that i would switch is because of the good looking screen, but in terms i would give up my hardware keyboard which i don't think i'll do. Plus with virtuous unity i'm running sense 3.0 on my g2 and its smooth enough for me for right now to stop me from spending hundreds of dollars on a new phone. Also, with our g2's being able to be overclocked all the way up too 1.5 i think g2's will be in the game for a loooong time
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackchad:
just played with a sensation in store a couple hours ago. thing is absolutely great. crazy to see the same rom im running sold as a brand new technology or whatever but i think im still gonna pick it up on wednesday. phone feels amazing and is snappy as hell. sucks to not have the keyboard but with swype/trace itll make up the difference. and also, when turned into landscape i cant help but think that the virtual keyboard will be bigger than our physical one just without the tactile response. excellent phone but if your not into jumping onto the newest and greatest thing i wouldnt ditch the G2. im gonna keep it around anyways because its been an amazing phone for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blackknightavalon:
If I see that the bootloader has really been unlocked and the phone rooted with Sense removed, I'll think about it. Until then, I'll stick with my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] -box-:
is the bootloaders already been unlock in the Sensation or in the future phones (released after the Sensation)? if yes, then Sensation would be a nice phone.. qHD in 4.3 is really tempting.. i myself rarely used the keyboard on the DZ and swype is quite fun already.. not to mention the trace keyboard..
[G2 and Desire Z General] Martin_F:
Sensation is really piece of art but I will wait till October. Maybe HTC will release some super great device with hardware keyboard for Christmas. Phone without keyboard is just like a chair without one leg.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daboy00isBack:
i might get it or something else, cuz the g2 hardware is getting outdated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] adamhlj:
I would recommend just waiting a month to find out where the majority of complaints come from. I have bought too many phones within a few days of launch day to make that mistake again. The sensation DOES look pretty rad, tho. However, I am concerned about the screwy wifi issue. But, then again, no phone is absolutely perfect in every way.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Among enthusiasts it might be quote on quote outdated, but I'm sure compared to all your "regular" friends you still have the nicest phone out of all of them. Us xda'ers like to act like a phone is old after a year. Look at the junk 95% of the population is using and tell me that line again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
I too played with a Sensation in the T-Mo store today and I was sooo damn impressed. If I could live without a keyboard, I would surely make the jump!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vicente fernandez:
Right now im using Sense 3.0. And im loving this rom!

It would look better on the sensation cause of the bigger screen and stuff.

I would actually love to change to the sensation but theres no keyboard but i had a phone without a keyboard so ill get used to it if i change.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Got my Sensation yesterday and loving it , wifey's got the G2 now , no buyers remorse here, was having some right when I bought it but after playing with it all day , no regrets. If you have the means I would really recommend getting one, still love the G2 and will keep the radio thread up to date.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Alucard400:
I probably will stick with the G2 also. The HTC Sensation will be great but I can put htc sense 3.0 on my G2 with the new roms on these forums.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bjb_nyj101:
All you people saying that you "can't live without a keyboard" etc. are pathetic. Are your brains really that dense that you can't adjust to a 4.3" software keyboard? And to the guy that said "a phone without a keyboard is like a chair with three legs... Righttttt. All the top selling phones are touch screen only. Galaxy S, GS II, Desire, DesireHD, Incredible, Evo 4G, iPhone, most of the Windows phones... the market is moving away from physical keyboards.

You might as well make the switch now and enjoy a better phone. Do you really think in 5~10yrs that there will be plenty of options for high end phones w/ keyboards? AFAIK, there were 3 high end Android phones with keyboards (in the states at least) last year: G2, Epic 4G, and Droid 2. All got raped in sales by the MyTouch 4G, Evo 4G, and Droid X respectively. The only high end phone with a keyboard that we know about so far is the Droid 3. Rumor has it that Sprint's Galaxy S II won't have a keyboard. Who knows if the "G3" will have a keyboard, or whether it will even come out this year.

There's a reason the G2 got EOL'd so fast...
[G2 and Desire Z General] durps:
That's a bit harsh. It's all preference my friend. You might like Lambos, Aston Martins and such, some will prefer muscle cars, others might like soupped up tuners. It's all preference.

Regardless...I'm going baby, I'm going. I should have my Sensation by next week :DDDD
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blackman778g:
Three words; myTouch Slide 4G!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sleef:
My Sensation is coming in the mail right now. I've got no gripe with the G2 and I honestly think it's the best phone I've ever owned.

I simply like trying something new. The Sensation has some pretty sickening specs and, if I hate it, I can always sell it for a different phone.

Plus, my friend is buying my G2 and it'll be his first Android phone. I gave him a great deal on it and I can continue to satisfy my desire to tweak and modify the G2 since he's keen on mods but not up to snuff on how to do it. (He'll learn, I'm sure.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] killswitch11:
The Sensation is tempting, and once the bootloader is unlocked, it'll be almost irresistible. Plus, I can get a killer deal on one. But.. I'm staying G2. The only thing stopping me is T-Mobile's impending death and absorption by AT&T. The merger is unstoppable. Sucks. I'll be bailing as soon as the merger goes through and moving to Sprint. The EVO 3D looks good... or who knows what else will be out there by the time that happens.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DeoreDX:
I abandoned my G2 for the Sensation. I thought I would give you guys some feedback for those that are thinking of making the switch.

First off the I *LOVE* the sensation's form factor. Big 4.3" screen but the phone doesn't feel big and bulky in your hand at all. Feels more like a Vibrant as far as overall size. HTC did a great job at disguising the size. It makes the G2 feel like a bloated pig. The phone totally disappears when you put it in your pocket. Honestly forget that it's in my pocket sometimes.

I love the extra resolution and screen size. That's the major selling point for me. Makes a big difference IMHO with web pages.

But as far as day to day usability, speed, etc. Really not much difference. Battery Life is worse on my Sensation. 30-40 minutes with the GPS dropped me from 94% to 61% battery :eek: I don't use my phone much during the day and would leave work around 85% with the G2, with lots of syncing WiFi with great HSDPA+ coverage. With the Sensation I am under 70%. That's with a 300ah larger battery. OC'd to 1.2ghz with a good on demand governor my G2 actually feels more fluid navigating the UI most of the time. App launch times definitely go to the Sensation but in day to day navigating around the UI and using the phone I honestly can't tell any difference in speed.

Don't get a sensation if you are expecting something to totally smoke the G2 as far as Raw speed. Don't get it if you think the battery life in the G2 is unacceptable. But, the Sensation is a great feeling piece of hardware in your hand and if you want the form factor it's the best of the current 4.3" batch of phones out there IMHO. Feels slimmer and less bulky than all of HTC's current offerings including the EVO 3D. Of course this may totally change if/when the Sensation is rooted/S-off. As for now if you are debating and are very happy with your G2 I would stick with it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
If the sensation was merger-proof, I would really want it. But since it neither has the AT&T 3/4G bands nor is LTE capable for use after the merger, I wouldn't go for it. Too much risk for a phone that will go obsolete in 6 months.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
If the merger went through TOMORROW it would be AT LEAST a year if not two before that happened. Do you know anything about government/business? At the very MOST we would be able to use atts towers in addition to ours within a month or two.

Sorry if it seems I flipped on you but I have had it with all the fear mongering that is simply NOT TRUE.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
One, you did flip. And two, the lack of AT&T freqs is a problem because post-merger, it will still have spotty 3G coverage and no LTE. If I'm going to a new phone, it needs to have tmo and at&t freqs so I can take FULL advantage of what the network will look like after the merger. I generally hold on to phones for more than 2 years (my prior phone was a Palm Centro, which I only replaced 8 months ago) so I want to be able to get better than edge speeds when I retire the phone.

You're saying that the dismantling of tmo"s 3.5G network will take years. And it might. But that process will not take 2 years to *start*. And given that fact, it's likely that some people will lose 3G on tmo freqs in short order (6 months or so) after the merge.

This of course assumes that the merge goes through, but given how much money AT&T is throwing around to "encourage" people to speak in favor of the merge (dangling $ in front of various non-profits seems to be very effective in this economy), I think we can take that as a given.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

insulting my intelligence because I prefer a physical keyboard? cool.

I write ~100 emails a day from my phone, some of which are several paragraphs. I'm not about to punch all of that in on a touchscreen keyboard. it has absolutely nothing to do with my intellectual capacity or my ability to adapt. writing grammatically correct, properly formatted messages with the available touch keyboards is a nightmare at this point. if that changes, I have no problem using a touchscreen keyboard, but right now, for people like me, it's simply not an option.

several of our employees who have iPhones and other touch-only keyboards regularly send out messages riddled with typos and grammatical wtf's. sometimes what they've said is completely illegible. that's fine for personal matters, but for business, it's unacceptable... and for that reason, I will continue to use the physical keyboard on my G2 and will only be purchasing devices equipped with one until there is a more feasible touchscreen alternative.

and if you think that hardware keyboards will be phased out of the market completely, you're sadly mistaken. there are plenty of professionals like myself who like having a cool toy that doubles as a powerful business tool.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Dude when I said start I didn't mean them actually starting the transition, I meant for them to actually roll it out to consumers. They will *uck off so many people if they actually did it that quickly, and I doubt it would be legal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kjacksonmusic:
those whom did purchase the sensation are you happy with it? sense lag at all?
[G2 and Desire Z General] xtremev1:
Not a big fan of sense so no probably not
[G2 and Desire Z General] derRobin:
I think G2/DZ and Sensation are not very comparable, because the Sensation has no keyboard...

its more likely, that the majority will wait for an alternative with keyboard :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] fluxgfx:
Being kind of new to the scene I'm at a crossroad between keeping my DZ or moving over to Sensation or SGS2. Mind you I've never really been a fan of Samsung so to get this out of the way I'm thinking I'll stick with HTC.

I've owned my DZ since December 2010 and nothing wrong to report from it. In fact I just recently rooted it and installed Cyanogen MOD7.03. I'll give myself a pat on the back cause I f***** 2 twice before I got it loaded and rooted.

The sensation new hardware looks quite interesting and the slick design of the phone is cool. But like many I tend to use the actual keyboard often to type long emails and replies to people. The small screen keyboard just drives me up the wall, I have big thumbs so it's a bit impractical for me. I might consider waiting for the next keyboard phone flagship from HTC.

Some might say why not use it on a landscape side keyboard is bigger? well yes, but then you loose part of the screen with the information your replying/writing.

So this really comes down to a personal preference in the type of hardware/style your looking for.

Cheers mates!

My guess is that the op had the evo version running on his phone, and yea the evo version will run but you will have problems since you are essentially loading evo framework on your phone. You guys are better off asking the dev to port the theme to the tmobile theme changer app. That way it'll work for everyone that has the theme chooser app installed.

You are definitely right. I will use it once it is ported since I had issues using the EVO version.
