Good: camera, big screen, soundtrip powered by beats, sleeker than tab

Bad: limited storage

Comment: It seems like tab/pad came out handy with this product. Before i cant go without my cam, now i just rely with my mobile cam. Never been satisfied

Good: Camera, Beats audio

Bad: Most Stuff

Comment: I've had this phone since January and its caused nothing but grief.. 1. its too big, need to use both hands to use it, 2, its slow, 3, its freezes all the time and to top it off the screen doesn't work well at all. When on text messages it will type letters on its on without me even touching the phone.. now at first I thought it was broken but the same thing has happened to friends who have the phone..But the beast audio and headphones are the only good thing about it along with the 8M camera.. Get IPHONE!!

Good: Beats Audio, HTC Sense UI, Screen Size, Very Stylish Design, Camera Quality

Bad: Screen Resolution,

Comment: I change phones regularly and this is my second android phone. Absolutely loved it.
The screen size is huge but despite this the phone does not feel obnoxiously large. The screen resolution could have been better though.
The beats audio feature is amazing and the clarity of the audio output is superb.
The camera takes great shots and the front facing camera is great as well.
The phone is very fast though it is a single core and browsing, navigation all seem to work at a perfectly fast pace

Good: great huge screen,fantastic u/i,fast for single core,looks great really stands head and shoulers above any other handset,nice headphones.

Bad: no card slot,low media volume and doesnt play all media files on stock video player.

Comment: this phone looks great not sure what the reviewer was looking at when he said doesnt stand out,camera takes great shots wish video was 1080 but may get it upadted at some time,the screen is beautiful so big and bright and sense 3.5 looks so good on it too,cant play avi files on stock had to download 3rd party player for that seems strange as the device can play it after all,lots of lovely features and small touches like the lockscreen(make some more htc)i cant praise this enough and ive had plenty of phones and this one i really like...

Good: large screen htc sence 1.5 processor

Bad: no sd slot only 12gb internal space the rest is for the other apps already on the phone battery bit misstake should have put alot larger 1 in

Comment: looks a great phone but the bad points out way the good points htc stop putting small batties and internal memory in you only lose sales. go for the htc sensation xe better phone all round.
