HTC announces Sensation XE with 1.5Ghz dual-core processor

hot

Just found my next phone! Lol, so long as I've the money when it comes out. Thing looks sick.

But I'd have to root and go a non-Sense route once the option gets there, love the effects and everything just hate the resources it hogs.

built for at&t

The Sensation XE is the first device with Beats Audio, the "high-end audio" company purchased by HTC in August. The device will ship with special Beats headphones.

This really is a slap in the face. One of the biggest weaknesses of the Sensation 4G is the audio...not the audio to headphones, but the crummy device speakers and placement...and it does not look like they even addressed that (other than making the rear speaker hole a little smaller). No, instead they just tossed in a better set of non-bluetooth earbuds (the 4G comes with ear buds that are required to make the FM radio work even if you have bluetooth headphones...I am guessing this is the same deal). It is a smart phone, not an iPod...I don't want to carry around earbuds for my phone when I also need a bluetooth headset because even the face speaker is trash.

Before you go to buy it, find a flash video that you know has relatively low (but still reasonable) audio with people talking. When you get to the store, try watching this movie using the phone's built-in speaker. All of a sudden this "multimedia" phone won't seem quite as tempting.

sweeeeeeeeeeet! i want this phone. built for T-Mobile.

is nice, but they better keep up on what they say. The headphone looks cheap first of all, it looks like it is easy to break, the phone looks like EVO and Incredible mixed, the phone looks really sweet, but I really dislike using the radio if i have to use a headphone, but it probably won't matter cuz i use I<3 Radio app, so I can listen through bluetooth, I think Beats should come out with a bluetooth stereo headsets instead of wire headeset. I'm sick of head phone with wire, I have them and only use them while sports activities or studying. Bluetooth stereo headset will be a good invest by Beats if they are willing to do it, and should come out with this phone instead of the cheap wire Beats.

Lol, I'm currently on the HTC Vision/G2/DesireZ, so any speaker would probably be an improvement. It is sad that they've made a habit of using tinny little crap speakers even on the front, but what can you do? (Get a Motorola or Samsung? No thanks. Sony? They can go f*** themselves after what they've done to us with PS3's) I don't use the back speaker on phones anyway, if I'm listening to anything it's over a car stereo or my Jaybird Sportsband BT headset. I just like the look, front- and rear-facing cameras (something I should really have thought about, only thing I don't like about the G2 - but in every other regard it's the perfect phone for me), decent RAM. I just wonder the MP of the front camera, 3?

I just wish they'd come out with a decent phone that has a physical keyboard but also the dual cameras and LED's. And it wouldn't hurt to have at least one other speaker for those who do use the phone itself so we could get actual stereo sound. I understand weight and space constraints, but this would be the perfect upgrade from my current phone.

the Motorola Titan looks better.

the specs of this phone is really nice (check it out) I like the camera feature with the phone, of no waiting time for snapping a pic (8mp btw) it uses the EVO 3d HTC SENSE (the active lock screen as well), can connect to wifi printers, 1080p HD video record instead of 780p. You can read it all there :)
