Upgrade From HTC Sensation to HTC One S?

[cristrip]

I have a t-mo htc sensation... Is it worth to upgrade to an htc one S?
The big change would be ICS....not sure.

What do you guys think?

Are you still under contract obligation for the Sensation? Or would you just like to drop $599 on the new phone?

If you've had the Sensation since May of last year (isn't that when it went on sale?), then it might be a good time. New phone every year is not too bad. Tmobile will probably charge you a full price for it, but if you can sell your Sensation for a good price, then it might be worth it for you.

i'll answer you both: i'm still under contract. but money is not the problem (since i can still ask for a replacement from T-Mobile and re-sell it on craigslist for $300-350).

what about hardware and software....? they look almost the same apart from ICS.
or maybe should i install ICS on my phone and that's it?

Keep in mind they wil be pushing out ICS for the Sensation soon so maybe just wait for that and hang on t it one more year? My girlfriend has a Sensation and it's just not worth it to upgrade especially since ICS is coming for the Sensation soon. The Beats audio is nice but not $350 nice (you can probably sell the sensation for $250 and the S is $600)

I would hold off to see if the ONE X comes to t-mobile as the G4X at the end of summer. I see the ONE S as an an incremental upgrade to the sensation, although the thinness is nice. I checked one out from behind the counter Friday night and I was not impressed with the pentile display. The build quality was great, but the display wasn't. HOLD out for the 720p version.

If money's really not an issue I'd upgrade. Period. (And I say that having liked the hell out of the Sensation.)

Better off with the Galaxy Nexus.

I dunno. My only beef with HTC was the way they locked down phones, and they made good on their solution. I always said until they bootloader unlock the G2 I'm done with them, and

so I'm interested. I love my Nexus, and I'll always love a Nexus. But for a phone to carry in my pocket, to be my smartphone and not my open-hacky-fun-time-toy I'm thinking this one is it.

Now all I need to do is convince Phil to part with his and lend it to me for a year or so
