I like it lots and lots and lots and sometimes when i use an IPhone or a HTC Sensation i like it even more .I really like being able to talk to people by pressing a few numbers not sure if it will catch on though .

Had mine for the grand total of 4 days...so far i can't fault it. I upgraded from my zte blade, and this is just awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Well comparing it to the evo3d it basically has better specs plus hw acceleration which is a very nice feature. The screen is awesome imo, tho some people don't seem to like the oversaturated colours. Personally i love it but you have to check it yourself before you decide.
Anyway i wouldn't upgrade right now if i were you, you still have a very good phone, just wait for something newer and better, like the quadcores expected to come out in 2012
My first Android and like this so much. Even after using it for three months I still couldn't make it work the way I'd like, but still its not bad. Frankly, I'd be more happy if this device had iOS instead of Android.

If this phone had IOS instead of Android id sell it, IOS is nowhere near as good as Android, everything works out of the box but your strictly limited in what you can do,i hate restriction.
Best phone right now without a doubt, having owned it since May it's been excellent! Pervious Android device was the DHD, it's faster, smoother and slicker!

Fastest android phone out there, but build quality could be better.
tbh the only phone that could probably knock the sgs2 off it's perch is the motorola atrix.. bigger battery and tegra 2, but then i've never used one so i have no idea about user experience.
Hello My very post here. Best phone I ever owned. it would have been perfect if it was a tegra Device can't see why they did that for a flagship Device !!!!
You will miss sense. Htc phones have better dialer, more useful widgets, like for example favorite contacts and rss reader, better sms delivery report, lockscreen and ringtone volume management. On other side Sgs2 has better multimedia support (mkv) better screen and weight, brilliant call quality and its very smooth in menus.

I will have to admit that I have been a HTC WinMo fan boy for the last 6yrs. Wm was not perfect but, it got the job done. Custom roms were good but, they always had bugs. So when I got my EPIC an my first android phone I was blown away. The speed how well everything worked together. I was amazed how people complained about touchwiz. I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe because I don't know of any better interface. It not as flashy as HTC sense but, it seems fast.
I hear alot of nitpicking here about the phone. They compare stock EPIC roms to Custom roms on other phone. Not realizing that everyone doesn't like the custom rom you love. I don't know of anything being perfect. But, some of the people that bought this phone were expecting more.
I love the phone. I just wanted to know what others think.
I'm amazed by it. Every time I get a spare second, I want to pick it up and play with it.
I really like the design of the phone more than the other Galaxy S variants. The soft touch back reminds me of the EVO, and the screen looks so good sitting there with the phone turned off. Which brings me to my next point:
This screen is so brilliant. I've not noticed any of the issues people complain about. It's gorgeous. HD movies look better on the Epic than any other phone I've seen (EVO and iPhone 4). I constantly want to change my wallpaper.
The speed of this phone is fantastic. It's faster on 2.1 than my EVO is with CM6 (Froyo). I never used sense on my EVO. I actually stuck with touchwiz for a while before I finally installed launcher PRO. Again, Launcher Pro AND Touchwiz are faster than anything I put on my EVO. Menus scroll with no lag at all. Apps open very fast and games are perfect. I didn't like that a lot of games ran slow on the EVO... and some were downright unplayable. I'm a big gamer, so this is important.
The keyboard is pretty convenient. I use swype for most things... like texting, emailing, etc. But I love the keyboard for when I need to type numbers, usernames\passwords, website URLs, etc. I also use it for games\emulators.
All in all, I'm very happy with this phone. It's not for everybody, but it is definitely for me. I've actually made a few iPhone 4 users jealous. They were never jealous of my EVO
I love love love this phone. its deff worth the move after being an iPhone user for 2.5 years. I love the freedom I have to make and customize the phone to my taste vs just having a glass screen with shortcuts all over it. every time I wake my phone I swear I get more and more amazed by the screen quality lol.. the phone is very fast and snappy. the only complaint I seem to suffer from is my battery life =/ .. other than that this is deff an iPhone killer in my eyes.

I do love some of the necro'd memories. I was still a guest lurker during this post.
Just tested out the atrix not a huge differnce bewteen the epic stock vs stock now I know it will be a lot better when devs get ahold of it but it was laggy because of blur made touchwiz look fast but still not a huge diffence against our epics
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Gotta be honest, that was hard to understand considering there were no commas nor periods.
It would be no surprise that the Atrix doesn't seem faster than the Epic. They both have hardware that the OS simply cannot tax. If there is a difference performance wise, it will be in games or stress programs. Even then, you probably won't see much of a difference in performance.
I think the only real world difference that would be substantial is if you are compiling on the phone(which I am sure there are developers that do, or would). Other than that, dual core or even a faster processor is going to be useless on these phone.

Lololol. Not one dot or coma or ANYTHING! your my hero!
A lady friend of mine wants to ditch her iPhone and cum party with the android boys.
HD2 is an obvious suggestion, but I think its a bit geeky for her. I will probably put cyanogen on it for her, but that will be it; no flashing new roms every week.
So what would you guys recommend? Front runners at the moment are :
Nexus S
White desire

You can be sure of a lot of attention with that topic
Don't use any android flashed device for your sexy blonde, Iphone is more sexy, but indeed less geeky
The Nexus S is by far the sexiest Android device and currently the best on the market IMO,
I'd get a Nexus S.
The second sexiest device ever IMO is the Nexus One, which is actually better in some ways because it can run Sense.
so you might get a Nexus One, root it, flash a stable DHD ROM and you're good to go. remember that along with the awesome things it has to offer, it also has the multi-color lighted track ball, my girlfriend is crazy about that aspect of her Nexus.

Haha, thanks for replies.
I think its a bit silly to buy iPhone 4 now with the update so close. Also iPhones are significantly more expensive (buying similar free)
Also considering desire s.
I wonder if its worth the extra money getting the nexus s when you can get an original desire and put cyanogen on it.
Will deliver pics with purchase....

I have to say, for stock user experience, the best android phone you can get is the nexus s. So far there have been no "big" problems with it, atleast currently.
However I think for overall satisfaction, i'd go for the galaxy s. If rooted and with lagfixes/tweaks and flashed a custom rom, the phone is a really nice and smooth.
However one thing i'd say about the HD2 is it's so hackable, you can try WP7, winmo or android, all on one phone. The experience might not be as good as a true android/WP7 device, but it's good enough for daily use. Plus I think it has a top of the class 5MP camera. Atleast it performs alot better than the captivate i'm using right now.

Linkage of said lady friend?
Do you think custom ROMs will allow us to have HTC's Sense UI 3.0 on this phone?

If people want the HTC Sense experience then they should look at a HTC Phone. Although a Port is possible, its very time consuming and by the time someone actually port's it over with all the drivers working, your device will be close to the yearly refresh and you will want the next best thing. This will leave the developer in a limbo where his efforts didnt truly pay off.

It's not possible, Galaxy S is half baked, Nexus S also try, half baked. Samsung uses totally different structure on android Nexus S can't even port TouchWiz and its the same manufacturer. I would love to get S II spec wise it blows the Sensation out.

Id say its all about taste. Personally I think motorola's UI is the worst, followed closely by the apple wannabe touchwiz. Funny, I actually hated sense as well at first, but now that im using it for a while, I LOVE IT.
Also, its because htc has added soooo much functionality, like finding/wiping/ringing from anywhere(laptop) incase its lost, or stolen, etc. Plus auto-backup of messages, apprx 100 very useful widgets, plus may apps wich save you a lot of time if you had to download one by one. Basically, its a complete package that looks good and offers functionality that no other manufacturer can even come close to, especially being built in from start. no headaches. I myself wish it could be ported but I doubt, especially with how "involved" its gotten lately

I had a Galaxy S, then Atrix and now Inspire. Next I'm buying Galaxy S II because the bootlogger is unlocked and I want the light weight, dual core processor power and video enhancements.
The Inspire is amazing. I like it far better than the Atrix because I can put custom roms on it. I was able to root the Atrix and do a few modifications but it was very limited. I strongly recommend the Inspire.
The Sensation is locked down as is the Atrix. If you want a good out of the box phone Atrix is as good as you get until the Galaxy S II arrives. Sensation will be great but probably about the same as the Galaxy S II.
It is hard to recommend a phone without knowing what you do with your phone. For me the unlocked boot logger is the difference between buying and not buying.
Personally I prefer Sense.I think that Samsung have basically copied the iPhone in design and UI. If someone could remove the native Samsung bloat and add sense, all would be good in the world(for me at least)

Sent from my RafDroidHD using Tapatalk
I think we can. If enough people that have bought a SGS2 ask for sense then I am sure someone(developer) will be willing to design it for SGS2. From what I have seen of custom roms so far, I think that there are some more than capable developers out there that could do it. If I could write code I definitely would(perhaps I should start learning. The only question is can an old dog(me) learn new tricks?????)
Ok so here we go,I plan on getting a new phone with Tmobile. gonna give this one to my mom, as a Christmas gift (lame I know). It's either the galaxy s2, the sensation or the amaze. What are yall views, ofcourse Ima root it.

Sensation.
It's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Amaze and the specs are only marginally weaker.
And you have way better dev support so you'll have the best ROM's.
With the SGS2 you're stuck with Samsung providing you with updates.
HTC SENSATION ALL THE WAY MAN!!!
wayyy better development, i don't know how many times better than the Galaxy SII, and doesn't lose to the HTC Amaze one bit (well, maybe a little...). plus, it's cheaper
price isnt a problem with me, i make almost 300 a week. i do like the sensation,amazing dev section. the s2 stats are very impressive,while the amaze's camera options are pretty cool.
I have the s4g and love it. Overclocked to 1.5 and I got the amaze cam mod so this phone is just as good as thee amaze. But on the other hand is the sgs2 nice phone but I don't like the whole samsung ui. I like sense. That is all on opinion though. The s4g is cheaper than the other two and im sure we will see ics.

I've been stuck between sgs2 and amaze myself. But I am leaning amaze because of the resolution difference.
You should go to both sections and read on the vs threads they have. Some are biased but they give you good points of view on both. I think it usually ends up with...
Resolution, ui, screen, and build. speed is virtually the same. I think both parties don't bother with sensation anymore as many of them actually upgraded from it.
