I've had the Rezound since last night...been plugging at it non stop. I will say this..
Its the best HTC device on VZW...I honestly like the overall look better on the Amaze.. but thats a whole different convo.
Comparing it to say the Razr is a tough one. IMO with the Razr, you just open the box and get plugging away. With HTC and the Rezound I just feel like there's so much tweaking to do...what can I say,, I've been away from HTC for a while...lol
As for stuff Like the screen.. the clarity and sharpness is very good...its a really clear LCD is how I'd chalk it up ...its got decent viewing angles...however, yes...the screen looks a bit washed out.. don't forget I've been using a Razr the past few days...and to be honest,,,,I prefer Super Amoled in long term use...ever since I had the Fascinate I've been so hooked on Amoled technology. Oh well...is what it is.
Form factor has to go to the Rezound, its just really comfortable to hold and use. The wide feeling of the Razr is just very hard to get used to...the Rezound just feels more natural.
Speed and all that...The nod goes to the Razr...in my testing it was just faster. Not light years faster...but just faster in areas like opening up apps, and simple stuff...Like typing in the keyboard...crazy that HTC still has keyboard lag.
Battery...lol! They're both not going to win any awards.
Camera...shocker
The Rezound is good...but color is way off, even with tweaking...its just off. The Razr to me was quicker, and just took overall better shots.
And in testing both.. The Rezound gets warmer then the Razr when you start beatin it down and putting some pressure on it...
again this is just stuff I'm seeing from it in the last 12-15 hours...
Is it a good device...Yes.. absolutely!
Is it bringing something incredibly new to the table....no! Its pretty much a really BIG incredible 2 in my eyes. HTC really needs to ramp things up with the next version of sense...its just getting really long in the tooth IMO.
