Had an HTC desire then went to Iphone 4, dont get me wrong the IP4 is awesome but theres alot of wee things I prefered about the android software compaired to IOS. Agreed the sont wont have the HTC sense which I think is a major + over IOS

It's "ok". Just seems lacking a killer feature or anything over any of that range of handsets from other manufacturers. Its certainly nicely built but the build of Android that Sony have made doesn't wow me tbh. Seems very limited and isn't particularly pretty.

We had the HTC One X and One S in-store today and they seem like a much better and fresher option. The One X could suffer from horrendous battery life looking at initial reviews but overall it's a really nicely made handset and the multitasking is really nice compared to anything I've seen on Android before, Apple should take note.

nice to hear.

HTC sense is a very nice feature, HTC Once X just looks huge, dont want a phone that big. Sensation XE looks like its a winner

What krispwee said about Sonys android overlay, I have an Xperia arc s, lovely phone but timescape totally ruins it. Might look into rotting and getting a stock rom.

Get a One S over a Sensation XE.

I thought the new sense way of multitasking was crappy compared to stock ICS and more like iOS (s**t, better on the ipad, but thats irrelevant) tbh, especially as it takes up the whole bloody screen with one app.

the One just looks massive, dont need anything as big as that

Which One? (LOL)

 

[Ja5on]

hahahah One X?

One S is the same size as a sensation I think.

I know what you mean about multi tasking in sense Tom, stock ICS is better. Kinda like that fancy task switching thing Microsoft brought out in Vista that nobody used..

A friend has just got one, his only complaint so far is the poor battery life

 

[Ja5on]

whats classed as poor battery life?

I mind my desire lasted 4-5 hours if I was playing music/games and using the net. But for just calls and txts i could get around 1-1.5 days pretty much the same as my iphone

i know on my sensation the battery life has increased by a good 30% since going from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich

Suprised this phone hasn't been marketed much, especially considering it has a sharper display than the Iphone "retina" display despite having a larger screen. Performance wise it was the best when it came out too.

Get a One S, they're superb.
