Although Apple batteries are indeed known for there quality, they are boosted by iPhone's small screen and no 4G.

We're not supposed to have 4G here until 2015, so no worries there for me.

But yes - the smaller screen does suck at times!

I'll always be an Android lover, but for what I do with a phone - sadly the iPhone was the way to go... I'll still creep on your thread here though. :)

Anytime!

To be honest with you, I did go look at the iPhone 4s when it came out b/c dual networks and a really good camera are 2 very important things for me. I wish Google and HTC would come out a hybrid phone that works on BOTH CDMA and GSM.

Motorola/google might be working on that...

this sucks: I've heard rumors that t-mobile is moving htc out of it's flagship phone position (with their mytouch phones, now using Lg and next is HUAWEI ugh). htc is kind of moving in the wrong direction with their new phone lineup....'one' series

Still waiting for a stable release of ICS for my sensation (that I can use titanium backup with and apps 2 sd....

As for ICS , Im waiting for LeeDroid to come up with one, i dropped CyanogenMOD until they show more love to the Evo 3d
Really?I didn't know that!!! That's a damn shame!!! One of the major advantages of having an android phone is the removable battery!! Oh well

I had the Samsung Galaxy S in my hands a while back and it does feel a little plasticky and lightweight compared to my EVO4G but the screen is amazing and it really is a good phone. Waiting to see what next year will bring. My EVO 4G on CM 7.1 will do nicely for a while. I was thinking maybe getting a used Nexus S and root it. It would be an upgrade for me. My EVO has been acting up :/ (I guess that's what I get for getting an early adopter's unit :P) Or just wait...

that would suck if it's true. But remember, rumors are just that. AT&T was gonna eat up T-mobile and they didn't . So keep your hopes up.

Thats what I meant to get across.....I think build/quality/ideas about focus are correct, but iphone-esque specs aren't what non-i product consumers want.
I was hoping they would at least start putting 21/42mbps radios in the new line.....

I was on LeeDrOiD on my sensation, I moved to NRG roms as they are much more stable (less gimmicky - my own opinion). Lee and Nrg both have ics roms (thought they did for the evo as its the same practically as the sensation.....camera/screen resolution etc differences....

I guess the non removable battery from HTC is new news to me...

The HTC Incredible/HTC Evo 4G i think, are the LAST greatest smartphones ever created. These things just want to keep going....like our Yaris. Lately I've been having my phone w/o the cover and dropped it twice now, flat on the ground...Insedio screen protector is super strong, but more so, the phone has been rocking everyday.

I'm due for an upgrade now, i wanted the Sony Nozomi/Xeperia S but thats an AT&T thing i guess...want that nice camera on there because nothing on the Verizon sales floor surprises me.

Currently I've gone through 2 different ICS roms and have found a sort of stable one by Protekk?
He has a zip file for fixing the panorama mode, video recording, and picture quality. Using quickpic to watch recorded videos, picture reviewing, etc WORKS Flawlessly.

Dont know what to upgrade to, honestly...Galaxy Nexus isn't a justifiable uprade~lol

I have been out of the phone look since i changed gears to getting some jdm stuff for the car.
