Hey there fellow Canadians
I will NEVER buy another SE phone again after the whole X10 issue... (rogers customer)
I would suggest out of all of them go for the incredible S. Since all the phones your looking at are from different carriers I would also suggest look at the Desire HD.
The desire HD is my current phone. It is the same as the Incredible S, except a Metal Unibody design.
What I would say however..... Wait a few months if you can.
New Android powered devices will be out.
Expect Telus to get em first.
Edit: Stay away from the LG imo. The 2x is pretty laggy from the model I play'd around with. Go watch some reviews of it... pretty badly optimized rom. Rather wait for HTCs new models.
Cause incredible s is coming to bell April 4th and nexus s around 14 April and arc is coming 21st both with Rogers. How you like your dhd?

I've narrowed my choices down to the same 3 phones (rogers customer)
I'm leaning towards the NS. With the incredible second and almost out of the picture.
Waiting to handle all three in person before making my final decision
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I believe the Nexus S is the way to go on this one. The incredible S from what I hear isn't shipping with 2.3 which is really not as important as the hardware specs but even in that area I might go with the NS. The only thing I really like about the IS is the 8meg cam but overall I'd go with the NS.
Xperia arc sounds promising even my first choice is nexus I think. And incredible s is running 2.2 don't think it would have much dev support on xda.

Hi, I might be out of the line here, but i sold my nexus s to get incredible s, the reason is good build quality & solid user experience, i first used HTC sense when i used hero, that was also very tightly controlled by HTC, but they have done very good job with it, i am holding on to my incredible s & i feel relieved that i got rid of my nexus s, believe me i had gone for nexus s for updates, but that phone is so badly made( according to my standards> u may find it Ok) ( dont make any decision on my comment see for yourself and decide)
but i am happy now

yes you are right absolutely no support, nobody could even root the phone not even Paul (Modaco.com) AFAIK, but that is added part for me, i am not going to reflash & reflash, i want stable experience.
The Xperia Arc has a pathetic internal memory of only 300+ MB. Note that still a majority of apps doesn't support installation on SD cards. It also lacks a notification LED light and Front-facing cam, not that it's important, but this phone should be future proof.
Plus, I love the overall experience and tweaks of the Sense UI.
As we all can see ... I choose the IS
Why? First of all htc's quality is far better than samsung's ... Hardware wise ... Also sense ... Well sense is just unbeatable ... And for those who care about shipping with 2.2 ... Who cares ... we are getting an update to 2.3.3 in q2 that is this month right ?
So over all the IS is the best choice sense and 2.3.3 are goind to be a crazy combo ...

Q2 is anytime between April till June, so we could be waiting till pretty much the start of the summer for Gingerbread
Worth the wait for Gingerbread, you did a wise choice in getting the IS.

could you please repost the link!!
I am about to buy a used nexus s (going to sell my sensation after I get it). I hate sense and I really want some of that ics action (I know kmobs is working on it, but the nexus will have support from google + a TON of great devs, not just the 3 working on the sensation cm team).
The reason why I'm posting this is to give you guys a chance to convince me to stay with my sensation. The nexus s seems like the better phone to me, but if one of you guys can convince me otherwise, please do.
P.S. Not trying to hate on the devs over here, it just seems like all of them are so focused on sense, very few aosp roms.
Hello, gonintendo. Can you please provide 5 reasons of why we should convince you to stay. Thank you.
I had the nexus one and nexus s. I took development for granted. Now I'm selling my sensation and waiting for my galaxy nexus to arrive. Not liking what Verizon is doing to the galaxy nexus.

Because you (I assume) love your sensation and the community built around it here on xda? I have convinced myself that I want a nexus s, which doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best phone for me, confirmation bias is a *****. Perhaps there is something huge that I am overlooking that would make it worth my while to stick with my sensation.
Had it before this phone. Main reason I never picked it up again is the screen. Its terrible.
Kinda wish I'd kept it for development though. O well
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Assuming you know the specs, but anyways...
Dual core
8mp camera with 1080p
larger screen with higher resolution
Option to run sense or not
ICS will come, and with that many more AOSP type ROMs
Plus tbh... I think this phone will run much better once it has ics support... It doesn't yet and the nexus s is smooth... But if you want simile specs minus quite as much dev support just get a vibrant probably for half price of the nexus...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
Nexus s is a great phone. Awesome audio chip, camera rocks despite lower pixels. I loved it. I bought tgis phone for the bigger screen.
I had a Nexus S for a week,talk about a **** build, I hated it, plastic kills me. I couldn't use it. Too vanilla for my taste and THAT plastic.

Just get the nexus. You'll probably be happier.
If this phone isn't doing it for you, you should sell it and get what will satisfy your needs. Don't concern yourself with what others think.

I'm never happy with any phone, I have ocd lol. Thanks for the advice guys, I think I'm going to go for it.
Screw the Sensation, it has so many buggs it makes me sick. I regret buying it
What is this, a forum filled with angsty teenagers, threatening to switch their phones? Nobody cares if you switch, go ahead and do it if you're not happy with it! This isn't a religious group, it's a dev forum.
Seems like the new HTC models have pissed off people who simply must have the latest technology....

I think that pretty much sums up your justification, provided that the cost to change phones is a non-issue.
one thing I see is "I hate sense". I say sell it why own an htc device knowing your getting sense..

I had never used sense prior to buying the sensation. I had played with sense 2.x on a buddy's thunderbolt and I actually liked it quite a bit. I don't know what they were thinking when they put 3.0 together. Everything about it is slower, uglier and less usable than the previous version imo.
Seems like a massive downgrade to me. Maybe I am wrong... but... I doubt it
Hello. I am here all the way from the forums belonging your phones sister (the Wildfire S) we have pretty much the same specs as this phone but with a 600mhz processor and no Facebook button. This would make it fairly easy to port roms from the wildfire s to the salsa.
I do not own a salsa and probably never will but I was wondering is there life out there? Are there any devs with a salsa? Does anybody even go to this forum anymore?
What I'm trying to get at is that IF I HAVE SPARE TIME and IF I WANT TO then I will port some Wildfire S roms to the salsa along but ONLY IF SOMEBODY IS OUT THERE! I NEED DEVS AND TESTERS TO HELP ME!
I hope I can help you.
Benjamin.

welll, there's no life here, brad. i can say that because we have just got from the darkness area where we could not root this phone at the time before it's added in htcdev.
so what we have managed so far is, getting bigger internal memory by implementing data2sd to our phone.
for custom rom ? i am afraid we're still having no devs around here. if you'd like to make custom rom for us, we'll b glad to hear that.

We have swap support and can overclock our phones
So technically the only difference is a Facebook button.

Ok so nothing belonging to HTC......mmm ish have to figure out a way then for mail. Data2sd? Currently we use a seperate script for ext3 usage......how would that fair on your rom?
What's in it?
Sense 3.5 core from the Pico *unique to .sense*
ICS Wallpapers *unique to .sense*
ICS Ringtones/Notifications AND sense ringtones *unique to .sense*
ICS Music app *unique to .sense*
MIUI Camera *unique to .sense*
Option for original HTC theme as well as dotAURA *unique to .sense*
ICS fonts
No boot sound (re installable? custom boot sound?)
ICS/Galaxy Nexus boot animation ( can this be removed? )
Overclockable to 806mhz. (that's over 25% faster)* (whats the deal for the salsa? 800 is our max)
Ram tweak to make .sense smoother and up to twice as fast (capable of running on this salsa?)
Less power consuming (in what way less power consuming?)
Mobile brava engine for higher quality video playback
DATA2SD compatible / link2sd support pre-installed (what support is there? we have ext3 separate script)
New, faster Android Market (3.4.4)
Ad-free
Pre-Rooted
No HTC/Network junk ( shame, id like to keep mail only )
Full flash player
Deodexed and zipalined
Gingerbread keyboard and HTC keyboard
Nitrolag System for speed
XDA free pre-installed (uninstallable?)
sorry if it seems im picking fault or anything, id just like to highlight areas that are higher than the wildfire or maybe non compatible.
please let me know, as i would like to try this out....to see how it fairs.
thanks scotty

Hey there
Is it possible to get Root and ROM on HTC Desire C? maybe a CM9 thing? or a stock rom with tweeks?
Thanks in advance!
A quick google finds this: http://www.modaco.com/topic/355158-r1-superboot-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-c/
You need to unlock your bootloader via the HTCdev site first.
I was hoping to find a better rom than the garbage preloaded on this. I found Nova launcher helps a lot but I don't know why anyone would want sense on a device. CM9 or AOKP would be pretty great right about now.
My Nexus and GS2 are both in for repair so I picked this up for $100. For the price I guess I can't really complain too much.
its a quite new phone, if this phone gets some developers i will probably buy it

I just picked up the Desire C from Virgin (Canada) and I am pleasantly surprised with its responsiveness running at 600mhz. If we could ditch the Sense it could have a ton of potential.

There is no even custom rom, so it will take some time to get at least something custom on it...
Ugh, I hate being a newb on a forum. And yes, I watched the newb video, and I totally get the 10 post rule. I'm not a guru, and I'm not (technically) a newb either. I just have a few simple questions about the Desire C, and I am searching the forums so I don't have to piss anyone off with useless questions that have already being answered.
That being said, it seems like there hasn't been a lot done on the Desire. I've already bootloader unlocked and rooted mine, and I'm in the process of downloading Nameless Rom 2.2 and I'm going to install that when it's done...
I just want to ask one simple question without sounding totally dumb: Will installing a new ROM change the CID? I've been looking into SuperCID but I'm not sure if it supports this phone or not. I'm not JUST trying to network unlock the phone, I'm trying to learn more about Android and mods in general. MY experience ends about a year ago, when I started dating a girl and my computer time slowly diminished... so my knowledge has gotten rusty. I was surprised to see Android 4 ... last time I ROM'd a phone it was to upgrade my friend's phone from 2.1 to 2.2 if I remember correctly.
Anyway, I hope this doesn't get deleted. I really am trying to look through the posts to see if there's more info but it's 8AM and I'm still awake.

Hey guys, I just stumbled into sth really great! htc is releasing a new phone called Desire X. The great thing about it: It gets Sense 4.1, so I guess full Sense 4 and it has got the exact same resolution as the Incredible S!! So there won't be any resizing issues in the future, which will make the look of Sense 4 on our phones even better. Also I'm pretty sure it will get official JB support, so we will have that, too without any resizing issues. I searched for an English link and it's not the best but it should be enough so check it: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/08/htc-desire-x-htc-proto-specifications-leaked/
Omg thats sick!! Nlw i'm all pumped up!
