| 1216120 | 2011-07-11 12:19:00 | Hi, I think it has been said that the Galaxy S 2 is a great phone. How does the HTC Sensation stack up against it. Putting price, plans, and provider to one side for a moment which is the phone of choice at the present moment. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks |

| 1216121 | 2011-07-11 22:14:00 | Interesting (for me) that you should post this today - just yesterday I made arrangements to obtain the Sensation from Telecom under their 'freebie' offer. Hoping to receive it tomorrow. This is to replace my Nexus One, which I love, but over time, I have become less and less enamoured of the active app management I am forced to do, due to the fact that it only has 512MB of internal memory. I found I was having to pick and choose which apps I could install to try out (despite my reliance on the Apps2SD app). Also, I was constantly having to clear cache, to free up space. I went with the Sensation over the Samsung variants, partly because of the price (free phone plus $110 a month for 300 anytime minutes, 2500 texts and 2GB of data - against what I was paying - $150 a month for 180 anytime minutes, 5000 texts and 2GB data) ut mainly because I like the build quality of the HTC kit. I have played with both the Galaxy SII and the Sensation (at the launch day) and was much more impressed with the Sensation. |

| 1216125 | 2011-07-12 04:33:00 | That's quite a good deal actually, might just get the phone on a 24month plan and sell it. Then chuck the sim card in my SGSII. :D | xyz823 (13649) | ||
| 1216126 | 2011-07-15 03:21:00 | I've now had my shiny new HTC Sensation for two whole days. Love it - even more than my Nexus One! Just waiting impatiently now for the Gelli Case to arrive - in the meantime I have to be extra careful with it... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1216127 | 2011-07-18 07:59:00 | Thank you for your input. I have now had a chance to check out both phones that I mentioned. Whilst they are both great and I really would have liked to get one or the other they had one problem that has turned me off making a purchase. They are both too big. I got a smaller one that I have been using for a couple of days. Another thing i have learned and that I wasn't told about is that one doesn't go on a plan with a smartphone that only has 50mb of data per month. The phone will use that much in a day just by being on, very scary. Still making up my mind whether I have done the right thing or not, it's been a bit of a steep learning curve so far. :stare: |

The phone will use that much in a day just by being on, very scary.They don't use anything like that much data - if you're going through it that fast, you must have either installed a very hungry app, be using very hungry settings, or be consuming a lot of content (e.g. Youtube, web browsing, Facebook etc). To put it in perspective, Mum also has an Android smartphone, and goes through around 20mb per month. :pf1mobmini: |
