The feeling of HTC is a powerful and advanced phone Android looks great even when turned off. With a fast dual core processor and software extensions HTC attractive in mind is the election of new Editor smartphone touchscreen T-Mobile, if not the highest available only device by the carrier.
Design of physical performance, Telephone & Internet
In short, the feeling of HTC is a class act. This is a great phone 5 2.6 0.4 inches (HWD) and 5.2 ounces, equal to the largest known Verizon Droid X2 ($ 149, 3.5 stars). Yet, Sensation, feeling a little 'less, because it has rounded edges and lack of holes. It is made from high quality metal, glass and plastic, and feels very solid in your hand.
The feeling is 4.3 inch LCD 960 by 540 Super, which outperforms its closest competitor, the G2X T-Mobile ($ 199, 4 stars), both in resolution and pixel density. (The G2X packages of 233 pixels per inch, while the sensation reaches 256.) The screen is amazingly deep blacks, for example, Super Plus Samsung AMOLED screen S Galaxy II ($ 799, 4 stars), but LCD screen perfectly, and the text is clear, given its large size and high density.
Nothing strange Sensation, as the voice on the phone. It 'was only average results in my test reception. The sound is a bit 'hard to the higher number, and there was a slight wobble, and itching in the mail. The voice quality is good enough to walk, though, and clearly the focus elsewhere in this HTC phone. Feeling good in tandem with our times aliphatic Jawbone (129 U.S. dollars, 4.5 stars), and a phone music, video and audio, but will not allow you to use voice dialing from a Bluetooth headset. It 'a disappointment. The battery life of six hours of talk time, was good but not great.
T-Mobile to advertise this as a "4G" phones, but it is not even the T-Mobile standards. This is a mobile HSPA 14.4. And 'fast, reliable, but not faster HSPA + 42 and T-Mobile's network, or even 21 to use HSPA +, T-Mobile Sidekick 4G and 4G Galaxy S.
However, you will get high speed internet on this phone with a good signal to T-Mobile. In New York, where T-Mobile has a 42 + HSPA network, I got download speeds ranging from 4.3Mbps to 6.5Mbps and uploads at 800 Kbps-1Mbps range that pushes the real world expects 7.2 Mbps for 14.4 HSPA unit. The phone works both as a modem and a Wi-Fi hotspot, with the right plan.
Processor and applications
The feeling is the first mobile dual-core chipset Qualcomm U.S., 1.2GHz processor MSM8660 new adreno 220 GPU. Since most of the other phones I've seen dual-core processors up to now use the Nvidia Tegra 2 (with the exception of the Samsung Galaxy S II), I decided to benchmark this against the Tegra-powered 2-G2X to find differences.
The results are a little dizzy. I found many points of reference for free on the Android Market: BenchmarkPi, Softweg, CaffeineMark, Linpack, and Nenamark Neocore Droidfish and the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark, and benchmarks Flash GUIMark HTML5, and the hand of time, a lot Load the Web page.
The sensation was consistently faster at loading Web pages in desktop browser on a Dolphin HD Wi-Fi network, with Flash enabled. It was faster on benchmarks HTML5, too. But wait! The G2X with Tegra 2 was much faster in Flash and a bit faster at JavaScript. The two processors divide the synthetic benchmarks. The G2X more successful on the benchmark Neocore game, but they scored almost exactly the same on Nenamark graphic reference.
Chips in the fact that, through its program TegraZone, Nvidia is working to develop games with exclusive high-end phones Tegra. The result is feeling appears to be something better for Web browsing, while G2X is probably better for games.
Sense of Web experience is faster in the standard browser, too, because the feeling of Android uses 2.3.3, while the G2X is stuck in Android 2.2.
Together with the 2.3 Android, HTC brings unusually throughful Sensation, Sense of well-designed skin. Sense adds a number of useful, interesting features of Android. It comes with a way to remotely monitor the phone via the website. You can immediately jump into popular applications on your screen lock. E-mail program and address book are both beautiful and easier to use than a standard Android applications. And the feeling does not seem to slow things down at all.
With Sense, the HTC has a music store called "Listen" and a film magazine called "Watch" or who worked on my phone for testing. T-Mobile added free shooter Qik video chat NOVA HD, T-Mobile TV streaming video and other non annoying bloatware, most of the time, of course. And, of course, you can download the applications 150,000-Plus in the Android Market.
Multimedia
The feeling, as G2X comes with a 8 megapixel camera with video recording of 1080. And as the G2X does not correspond with the quality of a video camera or laptop either. Still images in good light were strong, but there were dark shadows. In low light, the images became very soft and tablet research, but at least they are not blurred.
Indoor video capture at 1080p, 720p or 960-540-the resolution was a bit uncomfortable from 20 to 22 frames per second. Outdoor I got a smooth 30 frames per second, with blown highlights, but overall a decent quality.
The phone also has poor quality, a VGA camera in front of it, which is always made my face look orange, and could not reach more than 15 fps at home. E 'for video, which is a delicate thing, however, Android.
The phone has 1 GB of internal memory and comes with an 8GB microSD card in the back and you can replace it with a card up to 32GB.
Play music and video are excellent in the tests. The feeling that supports all standard music formats, and all video formats up to 1080p resolution, except WMV. Streaming music and video cable and Bluetooth headphones very well.
Moreover, as the G2X, the feeling may reflect its activities on a TV, you need a MMC adapter, which is not included, but should cost about $ 40. When I feel connected, I was able to play 1080p video stored on the device, browse the Web, playing Angry Birds gently, and watch streaming T-Mobile TV, even if the latter has become so pixelated blocks in the big screen was almost impossible to see. Netflix is not available to the feeling again, but is not available for any of the G2X.

Conclusions
Last year, Verizon Wireless subscribers can choose between two slightly different, but an excellent smartphone Android basically as good as others, the Droid X (4.5 stars) HTC Incredible (4.5 stars). This year, but is difficult to choose gay seems to belong to T-Mobile.
Feeling our choice HTC gets Editors' best for touch-screen-only phone, but barely. It 'a little' more attractive skin G2X and a slightly more pixels, Android, and the average user will probably spend more time in the Properties Browser (Sensation, strength) and games (specialty G2X). But these are two great phones, and two terrible choices Android T-Mobile.
