Why choose? Theres a phone for every occasion. But since you asked, the HTC incredible cause its mine, the previous generation (cheap!) and covers all the bases...for me anyway.
I got my first and only Android device in May 2010. I love it. I have only learnt how to root the device and install custom ROM's in the last 3 weeks! So I have been out of the loop for sometime. But for me, the HTC Desire is the perfect phone!
My next phone will most likely be the HTC Sensation. Will set be back quite a few pound coins (Still can't believe I took a 24-month contract!) , but it will be worth it!

Evo 3d will rape the sensation. I don't get why allthe hype for.the sensation.

htc glacier aka mytouch 4g version of desire hd, in the US , on tmobile. best smartphone i ever used. continues to amaze me on a daily basis!
Been all over every android phone, from G1 to the Droids, Galaxy S to the G2x, the only two phones to ever impress me, the Nexus One, and the Thunderbolt.
The Thunderbolt should have been the Nexus 3.
Perviously I had turned BB and Apple fan boys into android fan boys with the Nexus One.
Now I have turned moto, galaxy lovers into htc fan boys with the Thunderbolt.
Its absolutely amazing, sans sense of course, theres nothing wrong with sence, I've just always perfered vanilla android.
My two current phones of choice are the Galaxy S and the Nexus One. But I'm gonna get the Galaxy S II, so I think that will become my favourite Android phone when I get that.
I think the soon coming Evo 3D will own.
The phone now I am using is Samsung Vibrant(Galaxy S),satisfy. Yet my favorite one might be Moto Atri 4G.

Hey guys I'm looking for some help, I have the sensation 4g I love my phone its pretty awesome but I can get an amaze as trade for free the amaze is new btw. That being said should I make the switch I am user that likes sense I do like 3.5 better then 3.0 specs wise do you guys think this is good? Now I know most of you by now think its a no brainer but my concern is with roms the amaze section looks pretty empty roms wise its a pretty new phone do you think more devs will come to it, will ics be easy to port once its complete for the sensation because they are pretty close now to having a working ics rom anyways thanks for the help just trying to make a decision on two good sense devices

I'm not a developer, so I can't say whether ICS will be easy to port. However, HTC has already said that they will be bring ICS to the Amaze. My guess is that one of the reasons that there aren't many ROM's out for the Amaze, is that the developers don't really want to cook a ROM now only to have to do it again for ICS in a couple of month.
Forgive me for my lack of faith in HTC but neither manufacturers have a good track record for updating quickly but I doubt they will on time, it looks like xboarder has a wip thread tho so that answers that he seems to be one of the few cooking up roms. Ima just have to start kicking the habit of flashing roms lol any thing that anyone feels makes the amaze a totally superior device or should i stick with the sensation n wait for another device?

Read all the posts... Understand your concerns... BUT imho - its absolutely still a no brainer.
Its not the quantity of roms that any device has available. Its the quality.
Xboarder's are excellent and extremely stable.
Mike's revolution hd is a very solid stock-like rom
I haven't even tried NRG's because I'm so happy with the others but I've read good things about him/it.
And both Sense 3.5 and Bliss 3.5 are available by Xboarder - i haven't played around with them yet but again... I've read all positive comments.
I look at it this way - the Amaze out performs the Sensation in a lot of ways (not by much but still an improvement). The development has really been picking up over the past couple weeks and if I were in your shoes - i wouldn't hesitate to pull trigger and go for it
That's my 2cents

dont forget the Amaze just came out, the sensation has been out since late summer so of course it will have a deeper Dev section, the Amaze will to in a month or so, especially after ICS is released.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on if the amaze is viewed as a must have or just a hold over until the next best comes out. Look at the Samsung vibrant. Viewed as a must have so it got great dev support. Then look at the sgs4g. It has very limited dev support since it was not seen as a must have phone but more as a slightly upgraded vibrant. By the time ics gets released the galaxy nexus will be full force. That will definitely be seen as a must have. I agree that a few rock solid roms are a lot better than many half assed ones. Im not trying to be negative or bash on the phone as I believe that this phone will get great love. Im just saying that it is possible it gets overlooked if its viewed as just a sensation with a good camera. Either way I am definitely looking forward to getting this phone tomorrow.

The amaze is just better. And I would never have trully known it if I didn't play with both right next to each other . And switch between the two for couple days.
Then you just know the amaze I the one you want.

Man I'm so anxious to get more roms on the amaze!! I check xda every day. Buy the amaze you won't regret it!!

Lol i actually am trying the amaze n after the first day with nrgz28s rom I was sold this phone is superior to the sensation in every way camera battery life and build quality mostly its a big shame that most devs with the sensation may not see this device for what it is alot of them moved on to the gs2 and for me I just wasn't impressed with the resolution on that device and would have perfered an untouched gs2 with the exynos processor and 4.3 inch screen 4.5 was too much with the low resolution that being said the amaze is a great phone I hope more devs will come really not to say x n the current devs aren't good but from looking at the roms x needs a hand real bad so we could see roms speed up I want a stable version of sense 3.5 as it is much faster n better then 3.0. Hope HTC holds there promise n brings ics to this phone because it will be amazing with hardware acceleration

Had my Sensation for a total of a week. Now im getting an amaze through a tmobile trade straight across. The Sensation is a good phone but coming from a Mytouch 4G with a Sony built LCD, the ACER one that you almost always get on the Sensation now is just terrible. Drove me nuts.

How do you figure out which screen you have on the Sensation?
my sensations screen was great I had many that I rooted for people different screens all worked great there was an app to even boost the screen more.

i did the same thing. i love my amaze but i miss my sensation ans its because all the roms out there for it. i know this phone is new and will get a lot support
The only thing I miss from my sensation is the battery life. The longevity on the Amaze is terrible compared to the Sensation

Download a terminal emulator from the market, go into it and input "dmesg" do a search for "panel" or "panel_type" and it should say something like PYD-AUO or PYD-SHARP. The AUO screen is built by ACER and personally I hate it. It does have better colors but the refresh rate is messed up or something and there is terrible ghosting when the screen image moves. Also, they all have a red tinge to the display if you tilt the screen at all.
I actually just saw a dmesg dump from Binary on a kernel thread and found his panel is an ACER one. This scares me.

Hopefully most people I talk to don't think its a big enough phone to switch to they see there devices holding them over until ics devices come out. Once you own it you realize what a good device it is hopefully HTC keeps its word n gives us ics

I don't really like the vs threads but I really want to know. What your opinions are? I own a desire s at the moment and like it , but seems pretty lame if to compare it even to the Galaxy S2 (Or even S1. )

i have a samsung but i like the sense UI and the case of the HTC devices a lot.
Though i wouldn't buy a htc, because they are always more expensive compared to a samsung device with the same power
biggest selling point for me that made me buy Samsung over HTC was the Super AMOLED screen...
the screen is just beautiful in comparison to the dull looking HTC screen... the colors are much more vibrant and clear on the Samsung devices.
hands down Samsung makes the best screens...even giving the iphones a run for their money on screen clarity.
I currently have a desire HD and I love it to bits but I'm due for an upgrade soon and Im stuck between the SGS II and the Note. I just love the screen on both of them and movies on the note are amazing.
One thing I do love about htc is that their sure easy to root and practically unbrickable (from my experience) due the boot loader and fast boot. One thing I hate is htc sense, never liked it, never will. Also the battery life on HTC isn't to great either without rooting, custom roms, blah....

I have had several samsung phones over the years and always had nothing but problems with them. I just pick up the HTC rezound and it's by far the best phone i have ever owned.
I use to hate htc. Il admit i was a fanboy for samsung. Sammy this sammy that. I scooped me a sensation and its running ics. I came from a nexus s and man i love this phone. The colors are more true on the qhd screen. One of the reasons i loved sammy so much was the samoled screens. Now i realize that i was dumb bc who needs to look at their screen at an angle? Spent 2 years with samsung. Really enjoying my switch to htc and plan on buying their products for some time.

Have too say I had HTC desire now HTC sensation xe.... Carnt fault the HTC range ... Build is good. Screen is more true and not over the top and once rooted to a great Rom battery life is spoton. Sammy has its good points too but the screen is what kills it for me its too vibrant..
If you don't like it, don't do it. Glx II is better.
i don't know about HTC, but i think samsung is great to use and modding android.

Why the S2 over the note?
Anytime I look for comparisons there based on stats and false info. I thought the note was a gs2 with a bigger screen @1.4GHz
Until someone can convince me to either I'll delay my upgrade.......

I've owned every HTC android device on Sprint since the Hero and I must say, the EVO 4G was the only great experience I've had. I like to hack my phone, custom ROMs, theming, the whole nine yards. The EVO 4G was the best phone I've ever owned but I really can't say one way or another if I'll buy another HTC again as it all depends on what they offer.
I like how Samsung has unified the GS3 and may end up with a GS4 next year but the EVO line is inconsistent and being carrier exclusive can limit the developer following and tends to easily be forgotten. I'm hoping HTC makes one flagship phone for all carriers (think One X on every carrier with a black/red model called "EVO" for Sprint). That way the phones are the same not matter how you look at it... just my two cents.
Hope that makes sense.. really tired on third shift.
They need to make a EVO line accros all carry and make that there flagship phone.. And it needs to be a cutting edge device when they release it. Samsung got it right the g3. I am a fan of HTC but they just don't seem to get it anymore. Yea I know you guys will want the EVO line to stay sprint exclusive but we get screwed. The g3 bei g across all carries they get all the cool accessories and development.

samsung
Samsung is a good company and make awesome devices but they a sorta like apple when apple fan thanks about android they thank about g3 and when when we thank about them we thank about iPhone there are so many android phones out there and what I mean about I want some thing that no one has is a good powerful device that no one want like the evo lte mostly every one in my small town has a g2 g3 or a iPhone so I want some different
sprint
Sprint has a lot of android phone but no really big one with development mostly the ones with development are evo late g3 sorta note 2 g2 and the nexus and 4/5 of those devices are Samsung so if the m7 comes out on sprint I might get and put caynogmod on so I like to thank I have a nexus
Both htc and Samsung are making good phones. Everyone has their preference. I recently switched to the gs3 from the evo lte because I wanted something different. I like both phones though.
Having said that, now I need to be a grammar nazi, please punctuate. It's difficult to read your posts.

OK man. I love how the g3 looks but so many people have it. Nexus 4 looks awesome but you can't find it in stores. I'm the one that like to see the phone first before I get it. G3 just has so many users. If the rumoured HTC m7 comes out on sprint I might get but I get the rumoured g4 when it comes out. But the g4 will have a lot out users I am a picky person to my phones
Yea, I wouldn't buy a phone if I couldn't try it out in person either. I'm excited to see what htc has in store for its next release. After using the gs3, it will be a tough decision between the gs4 and the next htc phone.
yeah
I'm just tired of HTC sence so I might just get a Samsung but I love HTC build hardware
I've been wanting to go Samsung. But i cant stand the cheap light feel of their phones and i hate AMOLED.

The question depends on what do you need. If you want a "brick" that may even break a wall, you can buy some Siemens or old Nokia phones But if you need a good mix of all main good features from Andy, get Samsung Galaxy Ace2:angel:
htc one x+ out of those
It depends
it depends on what you want from a phone, i wanted a good gaming phone so got a xperia play but it all depends on what you want from a phone
I would go for One X+ as well.
From the list which you have provided, i will choose HTC One X+ .. but i personally think that One X+ is bit over priced.. Now if i have enough money.. I will buy the Sony Xperia ZL.. i feel it as the most compact and powerful 5' device at this point of time..
I will go with the one x+ , i used both samsung and htc but ibreally loved the htc amazing screen fantastic resolution and a decent battery life , samsung is easier when rooting and flashing roms , but htc is brilliant go htc and you wont regret it

With no SD card and no removable battery, AND the arrival of the Galaxy S4, Is the HTC still the best?
I see lists of phones with ratings and complaints of this and that as far as UI and bloatware, if these phones are rooted and a custom ROM installed, then could someone direct me to a comparison of phone based upon being rooted and a custom ROM installed?
I have a GST-P1000 which is average without being rooted, but I'm running Andy 4.2 in CM 10.1 and it is a totally different animal.
Can anybody help?
