This is infact my point.
The Sensation is hardly a Corsa to BMW's M5, is it? Yet you appear to post as though you think it is.
I've yet to decide which phone to purchase but making an objective decision based on the posts in this subsection alone is increasingly made difficult by the army of existing owners ready to role out hyperbole at any opportunity.
Ok then, lets look at this a different way.
The Sensation and the Galaxy S II are two rival phones that are on the whole, fairly similar.
The way I see it, there are 3 possible main advantages the Sensation has, two of which are purely opinion, not fact.
The first is the software, a lot of people prefer Sense UI to TouchWiz, even though the new SenseUI isn't getting much praise and TouchWiz is.
The second is the notification LED, I would prefer it if the Samsung had one, but it doesn't. Again, not a deal breaker but worth considering. Its also worth mentioning you can get NoLED for the LED screens that basically gives you an LED, or wait for the ROM devs to sort out a solution where the two LED touch buttons can flash/light up.
Thirdly, the build. The Sensation is aluminium and probably feels better to some people, but it is also heavier and thicker, which would probably count as a disadvantage on the whole. You can just buy a case that gives the Samsung the feel you like best anyway, and it would then probably match the dimensions of the Sensation.
You could have a debate about the screen and whether having a slightly higher res is better than SAMOLED+ technology, but in my personal opinion (and that of nearly everyone) the screen is better on the Samsung.
Things like the camera, internal hardware, video recording, battery life, audio quality are all firmly in the Samsung favour, and to many people they are important.
If they aren't important and you really would love a proper notification LED, or you love Sense UI, then by all means the Sensation isn't a bad choice.
Is that better?
