Can someone please suggest me If i shoud purchase HTC Incredible S or should i wait for HTC Sensation. I have heard of all the talk stating HTC Sensation being loaded with Sense 3.0 while Incredible S may get a limited update to Sense 3.0.
I would also like to know if Skype is available for download on HTC incredible S?
Thanks..would really appreciate the help

I have Skype on mine (though there is no video calling).
Personally I would wait for the Sensation now, if you're willing to pay the extra. Which isn't to say that the IS isn't a good phone, because it is, but you might as well get the latest and greatest if you have the choice. The Sensation will have more fancy animations and such.

I would go with the Samsung Galaxy S II instead of the Sensation. HTC is locking the bootloader on the Sensation and who knows how long it'll take someone to crack it. I also like how the Galaxy S II has 16GB of internal storage already as well as more RAM.
Doctorsax,
There is no video calling? then y does it have a front cam? isnt that for video calling? jeez!..i thought it had video calling...but then i guess u r right..its betta to wait for Sensation...hopefully that wud be out soon..Thanks for ur reply
Doctorsax,
Hey can u plz explain me whats bootloader? and isnt Samsung Galaxy S2 too huge in size? i mean does it fit in ur pocket? ...and i read that the battery life of samsung galaxy s2 isnt good..but once again different ppl different opinions....
Well price is not that big of a difference, so sensation would be a nice choice if you really want HTC. As Someone else sais, Samsung galaxy s2 is deffinatly worth watching at too!
dont buy a sensation! im pretty sure the battery of sensation would be really bad. its a tradition of HTC from winmo -> android in last 10 years. the first piece of any hardware change got bad battery. a recent example would be inc S battery gets 2X using time than battery on DHD.
Wait to get a HTC Sensation 2, I bet you sensation2 would be a masterpiece.
Well sensation 2.0 would take sooo long to come..and by then we might have other phones lined up and i will end up waiting for them too ..hehehe
I guess samsung galaxy S2 is really good? but i hope it fits in the pocket..lollll..any idea bout battery life on that one?? n i guess the price wud be so much!
Also been considering 3 devices mentioned - SII, IS & Sensation....
- Samsung is pro with the battery, unlocked Bootloader...design is a bit plastic...but it depends
- IS is for the ones that want to use phone purely as is....with minimal customization environment provides
- Sensation Battery worries me, however in case it will be updated to latest 2.4 with Dual Core optimizations etc might stand a chance. When will this happed though ?
Sad thing is locked bootloader on both HTC, didn't know that is wide spreaded ...but in case you are within reasonable demands user - this is the optimal choice....

i would sell my IS if sensation comes out..but sadly..i dont like 4.3" screen...it is too big for me..
rooting? i own a xtc clip..so i pretty much don't care.
You think a 4.3" screen wud fit into our pockets? hehe

Sense 3.0 ports for single core devices are looking promising!
but if you are going to be on stock for awhile and want some power, i suggest holding out for the sensation.. or by then, the IS price will fall and it can help you make your mind up
Do not buy a Incredible S, it sucks! Is just a scrap phone for a lot of money! It sucks in ALL!
hmmm really????
can someone plz explain me what does root by xtc clip mean?
First, HTC said they will not lock bootloader hereafter. However, they never said when they will unlock current phones. Fingers crossed.
For video call, you can always install Tango from market. Personally, I prefer Tango over Skype.
In turn, the mentioned reasons shouldn't affect choosing Inc S or Sensation, or other brand phones.

My Incredible S sucks ! I also have an HD2 with Android inside which is a lot better, more powerful and more compatible with many applications. I'm a bit disappointed because for example I cannot use Skype and Sip applications. Trying to call via this phone with these kind of applications is impossible. Battery consumption is a lot faster than the HD2. And sound reception call quality is pretty bad. Sometimes, it seems I'm talking in a conduit or a tunnel. Many echos ...
Hi there I have just been offered a trade for a samsung galaxy nexus for my Incredible s and 170 quid???
However, I love sense especially now I applied the htc sensation xl rom from Nik and clocked the phone to 1.45ghz and I am achieving antutu 3467!!
What do you guys think?
I think it is a good trade and it will help with keeping up with the Joneses
Nexus s or the new galaxy nexus?

keep yours, i've owned a galaxy nexus, don't get me wrong, it's a nice bit of kit, but its not as big an upgrade as you'd think. I'd rather have a nexus s tbh. Put it this way, I had the nexus and the inc s at the same time and got rid of the nexus and kept the inc s.

I had the nexus s but its screen gets scratched really easily and the pen tile format is really bad. You can see all the pixals in everything
Take the phone. Go look at the dev forum for it than tell me you don't want it. You can't not do it.
Sent from my Incredible S
Well I did the deal as I thought it was a reasonable trade and the screen is very very good.
So the swap for a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for my HTC Incredible S and 170 quid did seem very tempting especially when the likelihood of me selling the incredible s would attract about 150 quid???? Even though I know it is definitely worth more.
Oh quid..... So like 300 cdn? Still a great deal.
Get over to the galaxy nexus forum and root that *****.
Hi all,
1- What's better after u have used XL.....buy XL or XE ?
2- and if XL better, i heard some problems about screen + screen protector ..so is it true ? and will it happen ? and how to avoid it ?
3- how about the Camera performance ?
Thanks, waiting for ur replays as fast as possible cause i am buying one after tomorrow
Hi there personally I prefer the sensation xl.it is what I have.havnt had a problem with the screen and the camera is great.my best mate has the sensation xe and there isn't much difference between the phones.the main difference is xl bigger screen and no sd card slot.the xe has dual core processor and xl has one.but don't let this put u off.it handles multi tasking fine.but the choice is yours ?

Well if U have to choose between those 2, I would say the XL, better camera (my opinion), better design, the performance is not bad.
About the screen problem, well yes, there are few people who reported about scratches or cracks, but, it's quite easy to avoid it: Buy good screen protector, don't put it in skinny jeans all the times, when U have to put it there, try not to run, jump or activities makes your legs/hips work to hard. Follow that, U'll be fine
Camera? Well, what can I say, Stunning! The best I've ever use apart from the One Series
***However, If U don't have to choose between XE or XL, get yourself an HTC One X, much much better to be honest***
Thanks for replaying fast guys..
About the HTC one X, i have tried the camera isn't that good comparing to XE or XL..
So there's no problem with 720P video record and single core ?
Nope it don't have any problems

It annoys me when people say dual core is better than single core both the XE and XL have a clockspeed of 1.5ghz. The extra core in the XE does not magically make it more powerfull. In theory the XE should be better at multitasking. But by that logic. It will be much slower with applications that support only a single thread, as it can only utilize one 750mhz core.

Buy xl , in my opinion it looks better than xe, but if you like new sense 4.0 i mean full sense 4.0 not lite version ,then rather buy xe
Thanks, and as i can see by time the XL will get Full sense 4...already now Beta ver
and not worth it to buy one-X right ? as i can see there is Auto restart and heat up problems with one x
Every phone has it's own flaws. When you start comparing you would never buy one. I kinda was disappointed at first, of all oppinions about dual/single core but at the end you get a phone not wife So go see them in the store, scroll the menu and you will decide
doovd
XL is better than XE in my opinion it does not matter that is single core it is smooth and fast....it has bigger screen aswell and the battery life is much longer than any dual core phone but the speed is the same U can't tell the difference I think.... but thats only my thinking
Thanks for ur feedback all, i am getting XL after tomorrow

Exactly. I am holding off getting the one x because frankly my sensation xl feels smoother and more responsive in general operations as well as browsing the web. Despite the quad core multitasking is much worse on the one x. You can't switch between apps smoothly like on the xl without having to reload. Oh and battery is much better on the sensation xl than the one x.
If you're into custom ROM development, go for the XE

XE.
XL is 1.5 GHz single core
XE is 1.5 GHz dual core. That is 2 cores at 1.5 GHz each not 750 mhz each
The deciding factor should be screen size. XE will beat XL in performance any day...
Swyped from my Desire S waiting for Kernel 3, WAKE UP HTC
Sorry for the swypos....

It will beat it, if you are hacking in to FBI and CIA. Why should we bring up always the "beat" word. What is there to beat? If you buy a car you don't go to race the s*it out of that engine, right? There will be always something better. We are just talking about the advantages. There are flaws of course but it is still a nice phone....
I support Chaki with this
i have bought the sensation XL i realy like it and i didn't find any problem with it ...until now
Cool. I wish you lot of fun with it. And hopefully you never expirience any problems with the BIG BOSS
EDIT: It takes lot of courage to purchase one of that unit from HTC. For that price you can get Note, S2, Nexus etc, etc.
But hey, we have b*lls and we can be different LOL

Hello guys! I'm gonna get the XL for 400€ (I just love the design and the big screen) but I'm not confident in performace (XL < XE & Galaxy S2) and battery life.
I hate lags of any type (while typing, scrolling, web browsing..) so... how does the phone feel with custom ROM + kernel? How can I customize it? I get some relief from stock? Is it worth 400€?
Thanks!
I've used both the XL & XE and i found the XL to be much smoother, especially when using sense. I assume that is because although the XE is dual core, sense 3 - 3.6 does not support multi threading, so only one core can be utilized anyway. Also battery life on single core devices is much better than dual cores

In my opinion, I reckon that the SXL overall, is a great phone. This is my 1st HTC phone and I have been use it for the last 4 months. So far, I am very happy with it and I would only change it for the new HTC One X
It has got a great screen size (perfect for watching movies or live TV), the screen resolution is very good, soundwise it's perfect, fast enough for scrolling and web browsing.
Already tried different custom rooms, rooted and unrooted it couple of times and did not have any issues whatsover. The only down side for me is the battery life, either with stock or custom rooms, if I am on wifi or 3G mode for few hours a day, I probably have to charge the phone twice a day. Apart of that, everything else is great
in my opinion is not worth it.....I have a XL and it is not bad phone but not big support even if u are rooted....today just went to get a new phone and I got Galaxy S3 and is hundred even thousands times smoother and better but it is your choise....It is good phone but all depends for what you gonna use it...if you want roms not worth it....

Yup. If you wanna jump from Rom to Rom the XL is not your choice. But it is a rare phone coz not everyone has bought it due to singlecore which everyone thinks is a bad thing.
Beside that it is a nice phone. It has his flaws.
I have bought it even after i read that it has singlecore and the XE has dual. When i was in the store and touched the two i was thrilled by the XL.
You got to make up your mind
hi i have an htc desire x which is dualcore i know that the sensation has 1.5 ghz single core is it worth to change it for that phone i like because it has big screen and its cheap
Sv: is it worth to get sensation xl
Maybe but it doesnt have mant custom roms. I will sell mine because it seems that its not verry popular here

Well, the Sensation XL is my first smartphone i ever had.
I wouldn't buy me another one. In my opinion other phones are better than this one. If someone has other opinion please tell them to me, i have the phone now for ~1 year and in the last 2 months i am not "good" with this phone. (Sorry for that bad expression don't know how to write it in english actually).
Well there are a lot of awesome Developers for this phone, sorry i am too lazy to list them up here . But the amount of custom roms isn't that high as the poster in over me posted.
I wouldn't buy another one of it, because of some reasons:
- Not many Dev's
- This is my 3rd battery in 1 Year (this is not a reason against the phone, but its a reason for me).
- There are better phones for this price (I can't list some, but i think so).
Hope i could help you

It is only your decision! If you are up for more gaming and ROM flashing then it isn´t a choice at all.
But then again, i love mine it still serves me well. After a year i still got the original battery and it keeps me warm more then a day :laugh:

I've also have used my sensation XL for a year , also still stuck battery. We are still devving for it , and the best part is that it is hard to kill unless flashing something from a different device on it. The last week mine sensation XL is mounted to my Linux laptop because we are trying to compile cm10.1 for it, so instead of flashing again and again and again I temporary using my sensation if you can get it to the right price then go for it
