Do you always like to purposefully twist everything some people say whenever you feel it is convenient? I answered a gripe that DreXeL had with his phone with accurate information, for a person like yourself who thrives on giving people accurate information it's quite sad to see you of all people post something like that, nowhere in my post does it say anything along the lines of what you're insinuating.
I've had several Android phones before, have any of them ever been the smoothest phones, as smooth as an iPhone? certainly not, and nobody ever claimed as such.

I'm not talking about actual slowdowns, the phone is very snappy and responsive, I'm talking about general 'smoothness' and 'slickness' of scrolling and the UI in general.
iOS is butter smooth in comparison, even on my aging 3GS.
Still, It's a minor quibble, and I've installed SPB shell 3D because I'm a sucker for eye-candy. Now that is slick and silky smooth

To be fair, Sense is quite bloated and does suffer from the odd judder and stuff. Go the whole hog and root/s-off the phone, then try CM7 (Still in Alpha for the Sensation so not quite 100% yet, but pretty close imo) it's incredibly quick then. Even some of the custom Sense roms are a little snappier than stock.

Yes it's because the Sensation doesn't use hardware acceleration (as previously mentioned by mrk) and this affects the smoothness.

Getting mine soon, canny wait.
Anyone know why the Hypersensation rom only has 720p video recording? I want stock android on it but also 1080p is a must.

I've just ordered the HTC Sensation XE, slightly faster processor, better battery life and Beats by Dre audio + headphones!
I've had one for around a week now, over all I really like the phone, it looks great with it's red detailing and the included earphones do sound great. I'm still finding the the whole user experience fairly clunky compared to iOS though

What do you find clunky out of interest?
The whole user experience, it just doesn't 'flow' as nicely as iOS, it's just not as smooth. It's mostly due to the fact that the UI isn't hardware accelerated.

Lag isn't really a problem, I haven't really noticed any slowness or lagging as such. It's just general 'slickness'. Hopefully ICS will be a big improvement
stock Android with ADW launcher is pretty slick.

I'm coming from a Desire Z with Gingerbread, so I know the OS well.
Just out of curiosity what sort of battery life are you getting from it?

I've just ordered the HTC sensation XL, to replace my Iphone 3GS.
Are there any particular applications that are essential ?

GPU UI acceleration. I'll definitely give it a go
I thought the menus seemed really smooth BIG BIG difference. Is GPU UI acceleration on the normal Sensation XE?
Amazing, I've bought a new normal Sensation off ebay for £275.
It's now a Sensation XE @1.5ghz . Just done a price look up and the cheapest store is selling them at £427.
Also sold my Desire for £130. Really happy
