Title: Holy Hell! Sensation XL
Post by: Jay on 06 October 2011, 20:04
This looks awesome :cool:

Only thing that disappoints me is it being a single core, 1.5Ghz, not sure it it's more powerful than the 1Ghz dual cores though.

im not a big fan of big touch screen phones... so can some please explain what there is to get excited about. Is that phone just not doing what every other touch screen phone does???? or am I mising something ??  :undecided:

I couldn't imagine not having a touch screen nowadays
 :huh: just seems normal now.

Sort of. It does it HTC's way with their HTC Sense interface which imo is the best experience for an Android newcomer. It's a nice design, has good audio, large screen but not too large to become unusable as a phone (4.7" is pushing it!). It reminds me a lot of current, 18 month old phone with it's Aluminium unibody.

With Touch screens, it's all about the user experience and HTC does that well with Android, Samsungs is too standard android looking, Sony's is too confusing (at least on their older phones).

Never really got the deal with HTC, but I like the look of that phone. Would be good to have a play with one when the shops have them in stock  :smiley:

No.  I'm not following you through this section (don't flatter yourself).  I keep finding you sticking your foot in your mouth in threads I'm reading.  It's only fair this is pointed out, as you're quick enough to point the finger and get busy self-aggrandising yourself.

You make I laff.

Looks nice. Does look big but not much bigger than any other apple smart phone? Unless that guy has big hangs!

What have they done to the back! Why the silver!!

silver = unpainted aluminium, all the best phones are like that  (http://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=1C1CHFX_en-GBGB437GB437&gcx=w&q=htc+legend&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1440&bih=775) :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

The screen is 1.2 inches bigger than the iphone, with almost the same DPI!

I want my contract to be up now!  :sad:

O yes it is! Your right.

To be fair my comparison was just holding my phone in my hand and looking at the screen. Then going hmmmmm.

Ah i like. I thought it was some cheap plastic part covering a battery that is always loose. Hate that! (http://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=1C1CHFX_en-

I did the same, thought maybe its not that big. But my phone fitted in my fingers leaving my palm free.

The screen maybe only 1.2 inches bigger but with the extra phone its quite a lot

Perhaps a little too big really.

Bringing out the Sensation XE which is a 1.5 dual core.

But only 4.3".

They never make things how I want them to be.  :grin:

Oh and only 4GB storage and no expantion slot.

Why do they make phones with no expansion slot?  :rolleyes:
