No, but I'm tempted!

Not every phone...
No, in truth my uncle wants one and will give me more or less what I paid for it if I don't like it, so I figured why not give one a go?

Has the sensation had its bootloader unlocked by HTC yet?

Sorry but I just cannot understand why you'd buy so many Smartphones. 3 iPhone4's? What? And buying a Sensation when you've already got a Galaxy S II (or vice versa)?
Who buys a £500 handset to have as a 'spare iPhone4'?
Thats just plain odd. I hope for your sake you are just a massive fantasist or something
Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

Maybe I'm odd but I don't see that any different from people owning all three consoles and a PC to be honest.[TW]Fox;19309814 said:Sorry but I just cannot understand why you'd buy so many Smartphones. 3 iPhone4's? What? And buying a Sensation when you've already got a Galaxy S II (or vice versa)?

As each serve a slightly different experience.
3 iphone4's is more akin to owning 3 PS3s in case the other two break... or something.
Meh, each to their own, i wish i could afford one iphone4, let alone three
How is it the same? Having different consoles and a PC lets you play different games and do different stuff.
At the end of the day a phone is, well, it's a phone isn't it? Why would you want so many of them? And 3 the same? 3 £500 phones the same?
Its just bizarre.

As I said (if you bother reading?), I didn't 'buy' all three of the iPhones. I like phones and technology, is that a crime?
I already said why I'm buying a Sensation, I want to properly test one out and I can sell it to my uncle if I dont like it, it will cost me virtually nothing.
I'm 22 in 2 weeks, I'd advise you not to worry about my financial situation (but thanks for your concern), there is no need

I like phones too, I think I might buy 3 identical Sensations After all, how great would it be to have 3 phones that are exactly the same. It would really allow me to enthuse over them.

LOL Chill guys, if I gave you a list of the number of phones I have, would you slate me 2? - BTW Thats because I work with them, M3100's, Tytn II's, HD2's, nokias, TP2's, HD7's, blah blah. You name it I've either had it or got it. Currently I like the Optimus LG2x! Nice IPS panel, tegra 2 - nice package but very iphoney like.
HOWEVER, I don't find a need to overstate the downsides of a phone over and over and over and over again like Robbo does. Theres a difference between making a point and constantly stating the same over and over again (especially without having had one) - I've got two colleagues with one and actually did a sim swap with my colleague today to get a feel for the HTC Sensation.
Speed of the thing was darn amazing! - No bugs, I looked out for everything mentioned in this thread and all the others on XDA - Not one bug found (not long enough to soak-test tbh though) - But in terms of screen jerkiness, wireless signal loss - not a single bit. I covered the whole back of the phone and definately no loss of signal - if anything I think I got slightly more as my body was starting to be used as an antenna lol! Camera worked spot on (albiet I'm not much of a picture taker!).
Comparing directly to my current work HTC Mozart - Its almost similar in dimensions albiet slightly longer. Build quality felt exactly like my Mozart (which I really like). Build quality on the LG2x is awesome aswell, with the SGSII lagging behind them all. Now I've had chance to play with the three contenders - SGSII, Sensation and LG2x - I've defo got my heart set on the Sensation - I much rather prefer a phone with high useability (Sense is gorgeous and much more smoother than previous Sense versions) than one with super specs but low useability.....I dislike Touch wiz with a passion and the LG2x has too much of an iphone feel to the OS.
There you go, mini review comparing what I had to hand from the newest contenders.
NOW - back on topic - HTC still havn't announced or released an unlocked bootloader for the Sensation. They've got till 20th June for me to cancel my pre-order if they don't lol in which case I'll go for the LG2x.

I didn't see that coming, you're free to believe whatever you wish, it doesn't matter to me.
[TW]Fox;19310125 said:I like phones too, I think I might buy 3 identical Sensations
But you still didn't read what I wrote, did you? I only bought two of the iPhones, and neither of them are the same, one of them is the white model that I was interested in trying, and that I plan on giving to someone as a gift most likely.
I can understand why you'd want to buy another £500 smartphone in order to try out the fact its exactly the same device only in a different colour.

Its not quite. I wanted to see if iOS ran any differently without the lag as all the other iPhone 4's I've used have lag problems, also it is interestingly noticeably thicker, which Apple kept quiet about.
My sister is after one for her birthday, so I was going to give it to her for that, given how great of a present it is, I doubt she will be too bothered it isn't factory sealed, would you be?
We are going to have to stop, because it's just too daft now.

Im sorry but I've been in stitches since my last post. [TW] Fox = Comedy gold!
You can't post on an internet forum that you have multiple examples of the same £500 smartphone (oooh, I wonder if my phone is broken, I think I will buy the same phone again to check), that you own the current best available £500 Smartphone and that you fancy buying yet another £500 smartphone just to see what its like (forget the Uncle bit, thats just weird, why doesnt he just buy a nice new one) and not expect to raise a few eyebrows. If your hobby really is collecting smartphones you'd appreciate that it's very much an aquired taste viewed upon by others with suprise
I've tried to be polite but I admit it can be difficult to politely express amazement

You must admit there are much stranger things you can spend money on than having a few phones because you like fiddling with them? The cost of things is all relative.
[TW]Fox;19310725 said:I've tried to be polite but I admit it can be difficult to politely express amazement
You really find it amazing that someone has two iPhone 4's (the third was given to me) and wants to buy both the new top end Android phones and then sell one for a small loss? It really isn't, you just have a problem with me, it's quite clear in nearly all of the posts you make.
