If you're looking for sound quality, the absolute best would be SGS with the voodoo kernel. SGS2 is the only other phone that comes close to that, but still not as good.

Went into the T-mobile store the other day to see if they had a Sensation dummy phone to show a friend. The worker was nice enough to let us play with an actual working one they had behind the counter, so I can really only comment on the build quality and screen. The Sensation is a nice piece of kit for sure. Sense 3.0 looked great on it, and there are certain things about Sense I like(copy and paste), but Vanilla Android on the G2X he also pulled out for us made Sense look really gaudy.
The Sensation actually feels like a high end phone and not some creaky plasticy device. You squeeze it and the screen doesn't have any give like corners of the Atrix screen...there are no creaks or any movement from the battery cover/casing either. It just felt solid...iphone4 solid. Sadly, the G2X also felt much nicer in the hand than the Atrix. The Sensation screen was also more impressive than my Atrix, brighter colors that didn't seem so washed out. No Pentile pixelation since it uses a better screen.
When the Sensation comes out in Canada for Bell, I think I'm going to import it, unlock it and use it on AT&T. By that time, HTC should have unlocked the bootloader and I can get rid of Sense with a custom ROM.

We'll see where it is on battery life, especially based upon HTC's poor track record. Add a larger screen, plus another processor is a recipe for disaster...

[Q]edit! anyone think the sensation is actually worth more than atrix?

I have been looking for one for weeks and it has been a no-go. i've looked through XDA market, and CL. i dont understand why, ive heard so many people trading back to a atrix from a sensation asap when they tried it. when i ask if they'd trade its usually "no thanks, the sensation is worth more". i honestly dont care about price tag. that doesnt put out how much the device is worth, just what manufactures tag it. especially when atrix has more ram and features. and before i get flamed for even posting this. i want to trade because i care about display and camera over webtop. i take tons of pics and watch netflix alot on the go. i actually liked this display until i watched a couple movies.. i hate the outer glow on the screen and how grainy it can look/washed out. or maybe i should go after another phone?
Reason im posting it here is because i want to hear people who have the atrix or even both opinions. thanks
edit: haha to think i was about to trade.... http://www.htcphones.net/htc-announced-sensation-xe-with-beats-audio/ look at this ****!
I have an ATRIX and I love it ..I actually thought about trading it for a sensation but after watching a review it changed my mind. Its so much faster than the sensation and never lags,..I think it was bad with MOTOBLUR but with a custom rom or the official gingerbread update its simply amazing, only phone I would trade it for is the galaxy s2

ive heard about all the laggyness and glitchyness the sensation has "had". its mostly all gone now, they released a update and one of my friends that has the sensation says all the screen issues are gone and its way less laggy. so that made my interested in it again. ive always been on HTCs boat, this is my first Moto device. i wouldnt mind getting one again though.
edit: dont get me wrong, i LOVE my atrix, best device i have had. i just like to switch things up.. i dont really care for the "big features" of this devices. they sounded cool at first. but not for me

Do you like it though?? about benchmarks or anything of that matter. just everyday use and games/movies, also i love to skype and such. its sad atrix isnt supported. thanks. ive never been big on CM cause its all "stock" it just bores me id rather have eye candy and neat looking things and a camera/gallery with great settings then just.. stock. hopefully ICS has neat things
thats why i love sense. it all great in one package. i havent had my hands on sense 3.0 yet, last android HTC devices i had was the mytouch 4g.
I can't do HTC phones anymore until they improve the battery, and make the signal strength stronger...

I love my ATRIX, I get around 2200-2700 on benchmarks and in everyday use it never lags, opens applications easily, also the battery is a huge plus, I easily get through a day, I could get it through 2 but i'm used to charging my phone every night. I also think the tegrazone games are fantastic, even though im not a mobile gamer. If you're thinking about trading your phone for the sensation I would wait for any HTC devices coming out in the next few months that may running sense 3.5, or even beats audio, or maybe a Samsung galaxy s2 or nexus prime.

I agree, my old MyTouch barely made it through like half a days usage..would have to charge it around 5 or 6pm, Motorola also always does a great job on radio too
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
lol i know what you guys mean xD i am always home so that isnt an issue, and with radio i have more benefits with the sensation cause im on tmo. the biggest thing i will miss is the nvidia GPU, im huge on nvidia. not so big on AMD adreno... AMD always is lacking something it seems. id be giving up tegrazone for NEON support, that is hard. id probably go for neon support because i play emulators more than anything.. like ps1 games, etc. just getting someone to trade is the problem :[ id love to have a spare atrix though, this phone has been my favorite so far modding. HTC phones have never been that fun for me with modding lol, idk why. alot of people think the guys in the atrix forums are mean, lol. people are worse in the HTC forums.
motorola atrix internal hardware with HTC sensation external would be a dream phone haha.. im never getting a samsuck phone again, after what they did to the people who spent $500 on the behold 2 to f*ck them, seriously. dont mean to sound like a **** but i was one of them who bought it lol. im all for motorola, htc, and id think about getting a xperia if they made a freaking dual core phone and not just overclocked a arc up to 1.4ghz -_-
my brother has a incredible and holy crap that things battery life is horrible!
Im on T-Mobile also, edge isn't so bad though honestly, HTC should have had a gb of ram though..its a deal breaker for me, that and no Tegra , good eye candy though

HTC - built from plastic, crappy signal, crappy battery.

I don't see how you can go from Atrix to Sensation without feeling like you are downgrading.
Anyway, it's your choice. Ideally, use both phones for a while and keep whichever you like better. Cheers.

I'll give you the screen, but my Atrix is in a case so build quality to me doesn't matter as much.
I really think "HTC Sense" is the biggest draw that brings people in. I enjoyed my time with it too.
But whether I had HTC for Android or even Winmo, I never kept a call in any of my questionable dead zones.
If they fixed that and the battery (larger physical battery and in the software) I could see myself going back to HTC again down the road...

well they did fix the laggyness in the software. the battery is poop but oh well thats one thing that has never bothered me for some reason, unless im camping or something lol.

Sooo, many of you may know that I had been trying to decide whether or not to make the exchange from the Nexus to the Rezound and today I did. Boy am I impressed and EXTREMELY happy with my decison!

The screen quality in my opinion is much much better than the Nexus as well. Higher PPI and a true RGB hd display. The color reproduction on slcd screens is also better IMO. Idk, I just love this phone. Lol. I also picked up the extended battery and it makes the phone super thick but for some reason it really doesn't bother me.

I'm glad so many Android pros love this phone.it's my first smartphone and I really do love it. I stated researching at least 8 months ago and it finally came down to Rezound or Nexus and I picked this due to specs of screen and removable sd card and also because it had sense and I love it all! I'm keeping sense even after I learn how to root.

Beats audio sucks lol. I'm a audiophile. My photon sounded better than this phone until I installed dsp manager and used the virtual room option with beats audio enabled.
But out the box, I was disappointed, its no where near as loud as my photons output but everything else about the phone is better. But now with dsp manager installed, sound is amazing.

LOL, I'm not an "audiophile" although I could be.
I owned a very high end stereo shop for 10 years and sold audiophile amps/pre-amps/$50 a foot speaker wire, $10,000 speakers etc)
So yea, I can hear the difference but I don't really give a sh!t. As long as my music plays real loud & has plenty of bass I think it sounds just fine.
I LOVE the sound of my Rezound running both beats & DSP with the settings shown here listening through my Beats solo phones.

LIES!!!!!! the SII may have better battery life, but overall the phone is crap lol
Now it may be the rampant HTC fanboy side of me, but i gotta say hold on here, why does having ICS make the GSII a better phone?
Inside their specs are almost identical, and to some the SAMOLED pentile screen (which IMO is a bit oversaturated and overrated) looks like crap.
Batterywise: what kind of battery is the GSII packing? either way battery life depends on how hard you hammer the phone, I keep my Amaze clocked down to about 1Ghz and i get pretty awesome battery life on it, upwards of 14 hours
Im supposed to get my amaze delivered today. Hope so. Ive had my gs2 for about a week. Its a very good phone. Takes a while to get used to the big screen. (Coming from g2x). I cant yet compare it to the amaze, but like i said, its avgreat phone. Battery is ok, not great. Blazing fast. ( same hardware as amaze). Ics is ok but not quit there yet. Im running juggernaut 5.0 gb and it works great. As of now it has much more dev support. Do what you like, but i say, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

You're gonna have to hold both devices in your hand and use them for a day or two to decide... But since you say you're a fan of HTC, you should probably keep the Amaze. Both devices, in my opinion, are on par, but if I were you, I'd go for the SGS2 in a heartbeat since it's more to my liking
Seeing as I left the GS2 for the Amaze I can say that i think I made the better choice. This phone is much more pocketable. We may have screen bleed from the bottom but that is an easy fix. The GS2 has blotches and streaks in the screen that cannot be fixed. The camera on the amaze is a lot better.
I like My Amaze and I will be keeping it to at least the fall for when my upgrade is available.
The amaze is garbage it has a horrible screen, washed out pics, battery life is a joke...i had mines for one day and turned that crap back in for a gs2, the gs2 isnt perfect it feels cheap cause of so much plastic but other than that and the camera everything beats the amaze
---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------
But I'm not here to bash anybody everybody has their own opinion, youtube reviews if that would help
Just hold both in your hand at a Tmo store and play with them, and decide which one you like best. For most people either phone is going to be a perfectly fine phone for everyday use, it all just comes down to personal preference.
About the same.
Some videos are better on sgs2,some are better on amaze.
I was retesting both side by side last night.I was on the sgs2 for a while,but when I woke up today...
I went back to the amaze.
Better for today atleast.

Hi, i also upgraded from a fascinate and a continuum. This phone is pretty sweet. I would definitely suggest this phone.
The things i loved most about this is the 8mp camera and the big bright screen because i love watching movies on the go.
The beats headphones are awesome, definitely better than the ones i had for my ipod
I upgraded from fascinate, to charge, then this. IMO this is a fantastic phone. I love the camera, and its pretty slim design, similar to the fassy.
Coming from 2 samsungs, with ODIN and all, it was a learning curve to root and flash roms, but if you read everything carefully, you will be ok
When in doubt, ask for help

IMO the only downside is the screen isn't as bright, and the Colors arnt as vibrant. BUT is does have a better resolution.
Would it be better to go to the galaxy nexus, I don't think it's as powerful and I'm not sure I want to stay in the Samsung family.

Personally whenever I'm looking at a new phone (if your gonna be stuck with it for a while) I consider that software can be fixed/changed/updated (thanks to the devs), the hardware not so much.. That being said.. I REALLY miss my fassy and had to upgrade b4 i wanted.. got lazy with not flashing the gb bootloaders >.<
It doesn't feel like a huge leap forward from the fassy, but they are at two different stages in their life cycle. If upgrade you must.. I'd go with the better chipset.. just my 2cnts

I'm sorry but the comparison of the Gnex and Rezound have been beatin to death...that being said the best thing you can do is stop by the local Verzion store and check out the devices to see which one works for YOU. I have them both and there are some things I really like about the Gnex but it really comes down to personal preference. Currently, AOSP is a work in progress and if you happen to be a person not fond of Sense, the answer is obvious unless you'll be okay with Senseless roms for the time being.
That being said, a lot of the aura has worn off of the Gnex becauase many other devices (including the Rezound) are running ICS. We have some great Developers who work their tails off and a great community.
P.S. The Rezound has dropped to $49.99 and the Nexus is still the same price of $299 IIRC which may also factor into your decision.
Good luck on your decision.
Gnex has terrible radios and an even worse camera. Else wise I loved it. I love my rezound and chose this over the gnex in the end. Even with sense it doesn't feel slower than the gnex. So once we do get cm9 it will make the gnex feel like a joke.
And hey by may who knows what will be available.

Rezound, D-Inc 4G, iPhone 5

So Guys,
The speaker just blew on my rezound. I called verizon and theyre sending me a d-inc 4g. I think it seems like a pretty good phone, but one that will soon be outdated.
What are your thoughts on that device?
And now, the big question. I know its hard for us to admit, but is it possible that the iphone 5 is better than all high end android devices? is it the best smartphone out there? what do you think? Having been an android user for 5 phones, what do you think? (i love my ipad and macbook)
Should i get the iphone 5?
Thanks!
IPhone5 beats most high end android phones spec wise... Some say the gs3 beats it but it is a fact that the newer galaxy note 2 beats the iPhone spec wise.
Not to mention the new Android phones coming out soon, the HTC dlx, the HTC J, and the new LG nexus which will for sure reign supreme upon launch.
But.. It's all up to you, do you like to mod or customize your phone? Get an android
Do you like a phone that just works no bells and whistles? Then get an iPhone

I'm not a big fan of the gs3. that whole nature thing bothers me, and i just dont like it in general.
the iphone seems really good. but everyone has it, were xda people. is it too dumbed down for advanced users like us?
after years of telling people to get a droid, not the iphone. should i really go out and buy one?
so get an S3, root it and put aosp on it. whats the problem? also he nature bothers you? .. you clearly haven't used one.
1.) the lock screen ripple effect can be turned off
2.) any "nature " sounds can be turned off and replaced. hell, every sound I use is from HTC phones.. gamma, vector, ascend etc
3.) why don't you like the phone itself though? it's fast, screen is great, camera is amazing, it's thin, and it's just awesome.

so get an S3, root it and put aosp on it. whats the problem? also he nature bothers you? .. you clearly haven't used one.
1.) the lock screen ripple effect can be turned off
2.) any "nature " sounds can be turned off and replaced. hell, every sound I use is from HTC phones.. gamma, vector, ascend etc
3.) why don't you like the phone itself though? it's fast, screen is great, camera is amazing, it's thin, and it's just awesome.

I just feel like its tacky and overdone, like a ripple unlock screen on a phone? i like it to be a little simpler than that.
I have used one, i dont like it.
I could put aosp on it and fix the problem. but im still not sure if its the best choice.
again, ripple lock screen (which looks badass and is original, mind you) can be turned off. mine is off. It's a simple lock that shows up and you swipe in any direction to unlock it. Again, that nature stuff isn't really apparent at all on this phone.

What's better, the d inc 4g or the Rez?
Dinc 4g is smaller than the Rezound. That is a negative. Well, at least it is to me. I will would opt in for the SGS3 if at all possible. Oh, and one more thing. You get an iPhone anything. And I shall hunt you down and wiz all over that thing. Lol! No, in all seriousness. If all your other products are Apple. Why would you want to break up the "eco system"? Unless you really like variety and phone modding.
But seriously the SGS3 is wicked pissa kid! It is smooth even with apps loaded to the hills on it. Browsing the web is not bad by any stretch of the imagination. You put the proper ROM and kernel on it and the battery will last forever. I have it under clocked and under volted. And this thing still doesn't miss a beat.

As of now, I have the option between the rezound and the d inc 4g. What's better?

Honestly. I'd say the rezound. It runs sense 4 better than the Inc does.

I'd probably take the rezound, too. Inc isn't a bad little phone but I hate the screen compared to rezound. camera is faster, though.

Just don't get an iPhone and you will be happy

Gs3>rezound>iPhone 5> I would never give up my rezound for an iPhone 5. Android uses iOS as a toilet. Regardless of specs android is just too much better than iOS. And anyone who wouldn't take a gs3 over a rezound is an idiot and i dont even own a gs3. Its a better phone period...there's no argument...

Friend of mine just got an i5. Best part about it is battery life. It's really good. He had 2:45 mins of usage and was at 75%. I owned a 4s so I know I wouldn't want the new iPhone. I love my androids. But the new s4 and pro processors get extremely good battery life compared to the older stuff
I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the iPhone5 is a GREAT device.
My girl has one, and it is just so smooth in all its graphic movements (scrolling), transitions, and all-around responsiveness.
I will probably always prefer HTC Android devices for the devs, ROMs, screen size, and Sense UI, but there's no denying that the 5 is an amazing piece of kit. It positively KILLED my Rezzy in a side-by-side app-loading and scrolling comparison. The 5 is smooth as silk.
That said, I can do more with my Rezound, I love my larger display, and we have the all-important Menu key! So for me, I prefer the Rezound.
By smooth scrolling you mean how it pulls system input to the top of ye CpU list, forcing everything else to stop momentarily?

Yep, apple sacrifices multitasking / performance for looks
