Hell yeah they have!

Their coverage in my town is phenomenal as well. I ported my number back to Rogers though because I had a retention rate plan that was just far too sweet to pass up. I'll be buying my next device from Bell though. Purchased the Motorola Atrix from them and will likely get a Sensation. Just worried about the voice quality and speaker (and to a lesser degree the radio). That's the ONLY thing about HTC that really suffers.

The DZ had a pretty good speaker, the problem with HTC phones is that the cpus aren't as powerful as other priced phones and the internal storage is quite low. I'd love to move all my apps to the SD like HTC says to do, except gameloft games need to be on internal storage.

See how stupid you sound.

Sensation will be the same price as HTC HD more or less.

Either way none of these phones are really that special including sgs2.

You sir, are a moron. Besides the fact that it has a dual core processor, it has a vastly improved Front AND back facing camera, records 1080P, has MHL capabilities, improved 3G speeds, USB-on-the-go, a larger more crisp screen, improved battery life, TWICE the ram and default storage, improved material quality and design, all in a much thinner product.

But yeah, you're right, they've hardly changed anything, good call.

+1....

And lol, atleast Samsung UPGRADED their CPU. The Sensation has the same CPU as Desire HD, just dual core. No improvements in the Architecture or memory Or ANYTHING!

That's the reason HTC has fallen behind, because qualcomm can't keep up with the other chip makers who have more funding and workers.

Your posts had no hint of sarcasm whatsoever. Stop trying to backpedal, and just stop posting.

I'm interested in picking one of these up. Does anyone know how the general stock levels are on these? Are they OOS everywhere or can I pick one up without much difficulty? I'm in the GTA, specifically Markham.

I doubt it's out of stock. Most people I know are waiting for the SGS II to decide between the two.

On the first day it came out (the 5th), went to the source and the bell to check the HTC sensation out. No hype at all, seems like many are still in stock. Decided to get HTC sensation S2 and if I don't like that one, I will return and get his one.

Just got one today for my daughter. This thing kills the iPhone 3gs. My upgrade in November will be for the Sensation!

Does anyone know if the Sensation 4G will work on Rogers HSPA/HSDPA network? I know the 4G part is really only marketing. Also what would Bell charge to unlock it?

Not sure what Bell would charge to unlock it but yes it would work. Honestly I'd wait for the Rogers EVO 3D. HTC Sense 3.0 is just too resource hungry for the 786mb of ram in the Sensation.
