    The HTC Sensation is a good phone with loads of features, but we did expect a little more grunt from the dual-core processor and it could definitely use a bigger battery. Read more

    • Solid, familiar design, New Sense UI, Sharp, colourful display, Decent camera
    • Poor battery life, No HDMI port on the handset, Some software instability, Performance could be punchier

    Australians have only just been introduced to HTC's Incredible S, albeit with a Gingerbread flavour, but the company's latest offering is creating a sensation in the UK and US. So should you take the plunge now or hold out for the company's first dual-core monster that will have to compete with the new Motorola Atrix? Read more

    Here is a real world experience. No sugar coating here. I don't use my phone as a media device, or games player or toy. To me it is a business tool and as such it has to be quick, easy to use, seamless and responsive. I have multiple applications running at once (on top of being on a call also), to get me through a day on the road and often the phone is also tethered to laptop. Read more

    • Nice feel, HTC Sense 3.0, nice home screens
    • Battery, Battery, Battery, feels slow for a duel core, crashes
