you may well be right just seen this

"The HTC Pyramid will be named HTC Sensation for the British market and will make its first official appearance during the HTC event in London next Tuesday."

Why don't more of the Android phones use the PowerVR SGX5xx range of graphics solutions? They seem to perform much better than most competitors, the last phone I remember using one was the SE Vivaz I think - seems a waste.

The Galaxy S and its derivatives (e.g. Captivate, Vibrant) and Nexus S all use SGX540s. But I agree, we need moar power elsewhere.

Why oh why do they bother upping the megapixel count so much? The lenses aren't sharp enough for it to make a blind bit of difference!

 

[rapid64k]

I wonder why HTC keep sticking with bluetooth 2.1?

When is this out?

 

[sarge78]

The Pyramid has been out for over 4500 years so it's probably out of stock. Maybe you could try Egypt?

Boom!

/gets coat.

If they have any, they'll be in complete denial about when they can get one to you.

It's now in the coming soon section of the Vodafone website.

So we definitely get a qHD screen and a 1.2GHz dual core, nice.

Been and gone I think.

Yeah it was up this morning. Dammit.... if only this was a 4'' phone and I'd be all over it like a rash. 4.3'' is too big for me. But I'm sure there'll be a Desire/Incredible refresh along in the next 6 months.... they'd be mad not to.

I'm just not liking it really, the Galaxy S 2 is going to beat this. With a stick.

i cant stand HTC's 'design'

well actually the alu phones are nice and so was the HD2 but these patchwork back things of late are ewwww

 

[Charlie Bravo]

I like it although I hope they've improved the sound quality from the speaker as the Desire is just poor.

You could be right there. Smaller battery, no radio, VGA second camara. 1GB and only 768 MB and HSDPA runs at only 14.4Mbps and its heavier too.

 

[GeForce]

I quite like the design actually. The relatively low battery capacity does concern me slightly, I wonder how long it will last on average.

What makes the SII Beat it with a stick, because the Sensation Processor/Screen/Sense UI make it seem better to me?

 

[Robbo]

A highly likely better camera, more RAM, a better battery and better screen swings it for the SGS2 imo.
