Back of the sensation is actually plastic, too.GSII Pros:
- Wins benchmarks
- Better screen
- 16/32 GB internal memory
Sensation Pros:
- Sense beats Touchwiz every day of the week in my book
- Sturdier construction (metal back vs plastic on the GSII)
- Higher resolution
- You can actually buy one today in the US
Back of the sensation is actually plastic, too.
Going from what I've read, the center "stripe" and the surrounding frame of the back is aluminum, with the two soft touch panels being plastic.
Praise is due for the aluminum frame that HTC has wrapped around the sides, back, and even a small portion of the Sensation's front.
Went and gave the Sensation a try at the t-mobile store today. I have to say the screen isn't as bad as the video reviews show it to be. Yes, it does dim quite a bit at 45 degrees but it's definitely still good. Not what I was expecting, given how it seems to look much worse in the video reviews out there.
Overall a very snappy phone....especially for me since my current phone is definitely showing it's age
I haven't seen anyone actually say the screen was bad, it's just that looking at the video reviews it looks worse than it actually is. As far as the GS2 release date goes though, it's not out yet and from what I've seen there hasn't been a leaked name/model for t-mobile. I don't doubt that it's coming, but I figure it might be a while until t-mo gets it.
Also, speaking purely from what I've read it seems like HTC is quicker with the updates, but I do wish the Sensation had as much ram as the GS2 since that's about the only real negative I really wish would be changed.
On the other hand, I'm upgrading from a phone that has 288mb of ram and a 528mhz cpu. Pretty much any current gen phone is a serious upgrade for me at this point
I would go with the sensation, only because of the qhd screen, making it reading hardforums much easier.
This phone will likely be old news by the time that happens.i would not get anything t-mobile until the final state of the merger is known. Going to suck if ATT gets them and starts converting their towers.....

Why would you want to keep your contract? There are cheaper rate plans for those who don't buy subsidized phones.Well for some, T-Mobile has bad coverage in less populated areas, so getting to be on the ATT network will be a help.
I am hoping that ATT converts everything over to LTE immediately. Then I can get new hardware quicker. My 4 month old phone will be obsolete and I get a new one for free in order to keep my contract.
I found a video comparison of the GS2 vs. Sensation (scroll about halfway down for the video). Those who expect the GS2 to be a razor thin device compared to the Sensation are in for a letdown...
I hope the Nexus 4 has no bigger than a 4" screen.

That sux...The Nexus Prime will probably have a 4.5" screen, maybe a 4.3" screen...likely not a 4.0" screen.
