Manufacturers description:
A multimedia superphone in the palm of your hand:
Want to be entertained like never before? On-demand movies look great with a stunning qHD display, and they sound crystal clear with Hi-Fi audio technology. The HTC Sensation also includes an immersive HTC Sense experience making this phone easy-to-use and a top entertainer. The premium design, complete with contoured glass edging, feels great in your hand. The HTC Sensation is a multimedia superphone.
HTC Sensation features unibody aluminium construction for a premium look and solid feel. The glass is contoured along the entire edge of the screen. Not only does it feel great when you glide your finger over it, but it also protects your screen from grit and sand when it's face down. The qHD display is true widescreen, so it serves up an uncompromised movie watching experience.

HTC Sensation is powered by a blazing fast 1.2 GHz dual core processor. Apps start up instantly and switching between them is seamless. The dual core performance really comes to life when pushing your phone to its limits, like when you're listening to music, downloading email in the background, and surfing the most visually rich websites all at the same time.

HTC Sensation - Yes it is!
Had the phone for a month now, and its fantastic. 2nd HTC phone and verry happy with it. Pinsharp display, great camera/video. Must admit that battery life has not been much of a problem, and I do have wifi constantly on, but not the GPS (which is always a heavy drain on ANY phone). Holds signal well, even in weak areas, and sound is crystal clear. I would highly recommend this phone to any one.

Awesome!
Only had the HTC Sensation a few days now and I am very impressed. Very powerful and very fast. You hear people complain about the battery power, well yes it does need charging more regularly but that is because you will be using it all the time. Never thought I would say that but it is true, from checking mail to browsing the internet it is a joy to use. As with all smartphones just make sure to get a car charger too.

HTC Sensation
I love this phone. It's really quick and responsive. It took my few days to get used to the touchscreen but it's slowly becoming my second nature.
