farewell desire.... hello.........

admob · Oct 25, 2011

...... sensation XE. I have loved my desire with a passion, but all good things and that. The lack of internal space drove me nuts, but that aside I loved giving it large to my iphone owning buddies.... every time they showed me something new, I had a wry smile thinking it was new, maybe 2 yrs ago. But the time has come.. thanks everyonevforvthe tips and help, farewell..

A mob.

ciao.

I'm just ordering the XE for the other half, so i get to geek over that, but keep the Desire. Having recently rooter and put on Miui. My phone has a whole new lease of life, it's like a new phone and none of the current phones are tempting me away.

Evil Genius · Oct 26, 2011

yeah, i looked at the Sensation to replace my Desire but , like Desire Me, i'm a recent rooter and it's opened up a whole new world to me.

i went from miui to redux to leedroid to dGB to insertcoin to RCMix all in the space of a week. good times.

i think i'll wait just a little while longer before i move on.

I was looking at the XE yesterday. It looks really nice with the red/silver trim. Have fun with it.

i wasnt impressed by the sensation so i doubt i would be by the XE as beats audio is just a gimic
its an apk and not hardware related.
poweramp 2.0 audio is superior and beats headphones are overpriced poor fidelity naff as well.

dont get me wrong the phone is powerful but it doesnt make my mouth water.
I would still have a sgs2 over the XE and with the SG nexus around the corner i would have waited for that.

Yeah, me neither, but i've got it for a steal. A few duckin' n' divin' moves, we're getting it for

who cares if it s not hardware related, the sound is noticeably better wen beats is turned on and using the buds, than with it turned off and normal headphones.., and as for being overpriced, they havnt put the price of the phone up, so thats irrelevant.... its actually cheaper than the normal sensation....

i must ask, did the sensation xe bully you as a child, you seem to have used your reply basically to slag the device off, i dont remember asking for anyones opinion of it.... the sgs2 feels like a toy fone, and the nexus is asking too much for it, if you want my opinion on what you would have got instead of..... have a nice day.....

Rastaman-FB · Oct 27, 2011

read what i said again.
i said the beats headphones are overly priced naff of which they are. Im an audiophile

I havent slagged the device off.

I said i would have personally waited as it doesnt make my mouth water. i didnt once say it was crap

read it again and wind chill out

you want to validate a reason for your purchase, thats fine and simple "you wanted it"
it doesnt mean i cannot have an opinion on a phone and tell people about it.
the same way you want to come here and advertise that you have got one is the same reason im advertising why i havent

Bit sad, but I actually quite like the color scheme of the XE. Not really bothered about the beats bit.

I paid WAY WAY WAY over the odds for some headphones (Altec Core Earphones - Black | Headphones & Earphones | ASDA direct) from Asda - 27 quid sounded outstanding with or without Poweramp...

Then they broke..cable went inside the outer.

I agree, again not ready to move on either.

If the Desire gets a stable ICS port, which I'm sure it will, I won't be moving for a good few months yet.

I like the look of the Galaxy Nexus. I don't have concerns like the others of the build quality... it's the price I'm worried about it. I always buy sim-free, or PayGo if too expensive. But at

On the Beats Audio thing.... I did some investigations out of interest.

In my local John Lewis, they had an HTC Desire (yes our model) on display last week for demonstrating the Sonos Media system, i.e. the speakers and the android app etc. I asked for a demo on that with beats headphones as I showed them I had the same phone.

I can honestly say that listening to the same song on their Desire with Beats headphones (the
