Sorry, but the sensation is crap compared to the GS 2 in the sun light.
Even most of the user and expert reviews say that and have some pics/videos comparing both and you can clearly see the GS 2 screen, but not the washy screen of the sensation.

Find some then.
Also, if the sun is out tomorrow I'll take them both out to compare and attempt to get some pictures but I'm not sure if the lens on my SLR is any good for that (I know nothing about camera stuff
).I know many places say the SAMOLED is better but I genuinely believe they have just assumed that based on the original SGS and not actually bothered testing it.
To quote Anandtech -
Maybe my overheat protection was on, I wonder how easily it comes on.

I have posted it before many times on the mobile forum.
Both videos, pics and reviews.
And as you can see, you seem to be the only one here who thinks that and in fact you are the first person I have come across from all the forums/websites I browse where I have seen someone saying that the sensation has a better screen for view ability in direct sunlight.
Maybe you just have a special mobile were every thing is perfect
Just simply type sensation VS GS 2 sunlight or something like that and you will see for your self.
Here is a few that I quickly just found:

http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-vs-htc-sensation-video-20110520/
Both explain it a bit different, but at the end of the day they state the GS 2 is the better one and there are many more user reviews etc. out there stating pretty much the same thing.
Plus I have used both in sunlight and to me the GS 2 is the better one for being in sunlight.
Even mekrel who really wants to prefer the sensation over the GS 2 says that it is better.
EDIT:
To quote from anandtech:
Maybe that is why then it seems better for you compared to the GS 2.
Also I can't see them not properly comparing the sensation to the GS 2 screen.
The SAMOLED+ is much better than the original and they would obviously have both at hand to properly compare and not just assume, especially one the big main features being the arrangement of the sub pixels, they just simply wouldn't do that.

I dont buy the overheat protection comment, you surely must have used your s2 in sunlight more than once and if you did then you would have noticed the difference in the brightness when the protection wasnt kicking in.
I have used them both in sunlight many times, and the Sensation has always appeared to be better. I was actually disappointed with the Galaxy S II in comparison to the original Galaxy S.
My friend has a Galaxy S II and his is exactly the same, it's legible but it isn't great.
Provided the sun is out tomorrow, I'll check to confirm. Also, bear in mind I'm talking about direct sunlight, not just outdoor performance. You can't really see either of them very well in these conditions.
I did, see my edit responding to it.
Lol, true for some review sites and most fanboys
, however most of the good review sites state the same and they would be better at giving fair thoughts than just us consumers (who might be loyal to one company) considering it is their job and do it everyday (even if you have every mobile since whatever year ) especially with their experience and so forth.
Plus I have even seen some comments on XDA and another android forum where people who own both have even said the GS 2 screen is better in sunlight than the sensation yet they prefer and use the sensation every day instead of the GS 2.
I will try to find them again when I have time.
As mrk said maybe old age is giving you denial

My God the poor battery will get raped.
Looks like an awesome phone though, wonder how good the 1080p recording will be and at what FPS.
I hope they follow the lead of Sony Ericsson and stick a 2500mAh battery in there.
As it's HTC though, I doubt it. It'll be the same battery as the Sensation, or maybe a bit less, like the Desire > Desire HD
OMG, your actually selling them?
How much are you selling the GS 2 for?
Yup, samsung galaxy spica
, not a bad wee mobile once you get it rooted and all, and especially once the developer tom3q at samdroid is done with his kernel/drivers, completely written from scratch it should be much better and means it will be much easier/quicker for him to port future android updates to the spica as well and we will also get officially supported by CM iirc. when his stuff is done.
Can't renew contract till December and the full contract isn't over till April
And I am sort of holding out now for the next nexus (especially since some of the rumours are that it will be a Samsung device again with 720p new SAMOLED display
) device as I cba rooting and flashing any more so just want to make sure I get the android updates guaranteed, and as soon as they are released really with no bloat or skins etc.

I bet you are really looking forward to getting that upgraded, you definitely like your phones!
It's a shame I can't officially sell phones on here, would be easier to shift them than using eBay. I hate using eBay.

If you had said 2 days ago I would have had your GS2 of you straight away not via overs mind
, you will get £300 ish easy i picked up a 2 day old one with Zag screen protector and official mesh case for £350, and no it wasn't stolen from the riots I got a receipt .I don't even use either of them, I have no bias in that regard, neither of them can touch the iPhone outdoors
I agree there the I4 was fantastic outside, all I hate about Apple is how you can't do anything with the phone like you can with Android with roms etc to totally change the phones look and Itunes is the most crap software I have ever used, I hated it with a passion, apart from that its one of my favourite phones I have used.
One thing I hate with Android is how fast phones come out, way too fast and its not good for the customers who have just payed for there latest phone only to find 5 months later there is another out.

Wow, very tempted, but sadly it is too much for me to pay upfront for a mobile at the minute
what about £150 up front?
*spit hand shake deal*
You have no idea
, and yes I do indeed! Ever since I got my first android device (spica).Firstly I need a new GPU though for BF 3, stuck on my 4850 512MB and that just ain't going to cut it at 1920x1080.
You can on MM, can you not?
