Default help me choose......upgrade.

My upgrade is in a month. I'm debating between 3 phones, the samsung galaxy s2, htc amaze4g and the sensation 4g.

ive only seen the sensation in person working. The galaxy I've seen in person but only a non working display model. No interaction with the amaze but I've heard good things about it.

Other than the amaze being heavy I havent heard anything bad besides the normal htc battery life.

Galaxy is amazing but touchwiz I'm not so sure about, and I guess some have screen issues but have goten rave review from every source I've read.

Sensation I've heard had te deathgrip issues with the antenna, and sucky battery life, that's all I've heard.

Leaning toward the s2 as of righ now.....

Friends have the S2. Looks/feels nice. Not sure of the others to be honest.

I'd go for the S II. But if you're into rooting and the like, the Sensation has a much bigger development community.

Not much for rooting, never tried though. My mt3gs broke before I had the nerve too.....

For the past few months I've been using a motorola zine from a coworker........I cant wait t get back to android.

Pros and cons of each phone? Why would you chose which one.

If you are not into rooting then the Galaxy S2 is definitely the way to go. Between Touchwiz and Sense I would choose Touchwiz anyday! I root and stick to stock android but out of all the OEM skins I think touchwiz it the best of the worst...

With screen, battery, overall build quality, etc the GSII is the best phone you can buy right now other than the Galaxy Nexus.

I would definitely recommend the SGSII then! It's a good phone, pretty much out classes the Sensation in every way (except build quality)

S2 is definitely the best phone on the list. The Sensation can't compete against it, unless its a Sensation XE (I think this is also called Rezound?)

GS2. Its an amazing piece of hardware straight out the box but can be improved so much by rooting, which to be honest, compared to a lot of other devices is so easy to do.
