Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 in my opinion
Carrier? Or does it not matter? Could probably find an S2 or (mayyyybe) an Evo on the cheap.

Galaxy Nexus, it costs around 400€=318£ here in portugal
Dont go with any Super Amoled screens. I warn you..you'll regret it later. It may look very bright and vibrant but it gets screen burn ins right from the day u start using it.
Blue colour fades away easily....

S2. It's the best phone for that price.

Be aware that the Sensation (xe), has only 768mb of RAM. While it may sound okay on paper, you will have lag and apps opening slower than a phone with 1gb of RAM.
If it's your only phone, you MAY not notice it that much. However, I had a Sensation and an Amaze at the same time and it was EXTREMELY noticeable (and annoying)
Just something to keep in mind as you make your decision.

Xe and normal sensation have an identical CPU the only difference is the clock speed that comes out of the box.
My sensation is running @1836MHz right now

XDA's vote for the best smartphone of 2011 is here! Sadly, the Incredible S wasn't in the list, nor any other single-core phones which came out this year.
Is any one else disappointed in this?
Of course, dual-core phones have more raw power under the hood, but does it really make them that much better? Physical build quality is an important aspect to take into consideration as well. Furthermore, as far as the single-core phones go, I personally believe that the Incredible S deserves some merit as one of (if not the) best.

My phone is better than any damn single core phone out there....hell I would even dare to say that this is the best single core phone HTC ever built(android of course )

I'm happy with the phone I have, but to be honest I wouldn't rate it as phone of the year. There have been too many newer, faster phones since which have all its features and more.
Incredible S is a very good phone, much underrated

Underrated is the right word. It's a shame because of the timing of its release it got drowned by the media with HTC's own Sensation...

and sometimes misleading.
have you ever considered how many people actually vote and what percentage of people are voting for a phone they already have while other phone owners dont even vote.
i never rely on polls.
eyah.. really disappointment/
I am happy with my inc s but i'd swap it instantly for a sensation xe
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Incredible S is the best single core phone HTC has ever made. I wouldn't expect the Incredible S to beat out a dual core phone for phone of the year. If there was a poll for the best single core phone the winner will either be the Incredible S or Nexus S. Devs on Xda love the Nexus S.

Cheer up
We all think incredible s is a good phone
So, after much thought I've decided to get the sensation xl on the 3 network here in the uk. Which comes with unlimited data!
Has anybody got any tips for me?.. Recommend apps etc?.
The phone is being delivered to me sometime today!
Download appbrain app, aswell as best apps to keep upto date with what's new. Also blackmart alpha is good.
Search the rooting method on these forums and patiently await custom roms as I am doing. Enjoy your handset!

I'm on 3 too! And I love the unlimited data without a fair usage policy =D
I'd recommend Tubemate. It's a YouTube video downloader for Android. It's not available on the market but they have an official website where you can get it from (beware of fake apps!)
You can download plenty of HD vids that look and sound amazing on this device. I know it isn't the best screen but I still think it is awesome =]

Thank for the info mate.
You would have thought with it being a 4.7 in screen the screen would hav been up there with the original sensation! I can't believe the screen gas been downgraded!
Also the loud speaker quality is a big fail! You would hav thought with being a big phone, you would get big sounds!!
HTC need some lessons in making there phones louder!

Count yaself lucky, i went for the Droid Razr, and to be honest im gutted, i wish id seen this phone before the Razr. The speaker quality is actually really good on the Razr though wanna swap?
I hope your enjoying you're sensation XL for me it has been already the best htc I've owned and battery life is perfect just to think what scripts may do to improve the already great battery life and new roms including ICS is well worth the wait!

I agree totally. I was apprehensive at first seeing as everyone criticized it's apparent "downgrade" from previous HTC devices, but I am more than satisfied. I have yet to find fault with it and even the limited memory capacity doesn't bother me in the slightest
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using Tapatalk
Hello Everyone.
As it is stated in XL's specs. It has a 1,5ghz Scorpion Qualcomm MSM8255 with Adreno 205. However, qualcomm specs are saying that msm8255 is only 1ghz, whereas the msm8255T can reach 1,4-1,5ghz.
So what am I trying to say - Isn't the XL's cpu overclocked by HTC?
Thats a good question
No, the XL uses the MSM8255T. Look up the specs for the HTC Titan and you'll see that it uses the MSM8255T. The specs of the Titan are virtually identical to that of the XL.

The truth is that different pages present different specs. I'd like to get some info from HTC as on htc.com there are no details of the cpu. I cannot make a promise but I'll be trying to call to t HTC and get some official info.

Great news.
Then again, htc aren't always reliable you know
Their reps are sometimes wrong.
We've asked them several times whether the Desire range are gorilla glass. To some people they reply yes, to others, no.
So you can't always trust them

I think I'm going to contact them too and ask the same question. I am 99.9% sure that the XL uses the 8255T. The 8255 is an outdated CPU. It wouldn't make sense for them to put it in a brand new device...

You're both right.
jimbo.levy it'd be nice if you'd do that.
The guy on the line said that he is referring to the official HTC specifications (it took some time for him to find them )
I believe 8255T is simply 8255 clocked at a higher speed. Don't quote me but that's my conclusion from Googling.

So basically if us Desire S/HD users overclock, we have a 8255T model?
So the XL CPU is overclocked?

Done my research.
It's the same CPU As the 8255.
'T' stands for the batch that has been extensively tested by the manufacturer to withstand higher clockspeeds.
So its the same as the 8255.

I've seen sense clocks on many other devices trying to imitate the sense's look. Why not just try a custom launcher, you'll do that anyways on any other device

you can always flash a custom AOSP rom like virtuous inquisition or the wajee one and get rid of sense.
I have virtuous ROM, but I'm going ahead and trading my vivid for the nexus s.

I can't really find a phone worthy to replace my vivid yet. Of course something similar or a little better, yes, bu not that "wow" device. The direction some manufacturers go (no sd card or removable battery, even quad-core with lte) I guess I'll keep it for at least 9-12 more months.
