There should be one point mentioned that Beats Audio works with Wired headsets only http://www.htcmobilenews.co.uk/2011/10/15/htc-sensation-xe-review/, just to make sure people don't buy wireless Bluetooth handsets and complain why it doesn't sing like Dre would do :)

        Any phone you like will be the BEST phone. That's the facts cause we will always tend to keep/own something BEST for ourself ( in a good way ).

        Yeah Samsung s2 is great and so do this ?

        Not anyone is going to buy the same product and can you just imagine everyone is using Samsung only ?

        There is a lot of Best smart phones out there and Xe is one of them. Best doesn't just limited to ONE !

                SGS2 has HSDPA, 21 Mbps. Faster 3G.
                it's a joke that no manufacturer(that includes apple) clearly beats SGS2.

                Plus, when they gonna use Gorilla Glass? they clearly haven't watch this video.

The point of a review is to tell what is good and what is bad about something. And that's EXACTLY what this article is doing. If you don't like that, then you shouldn't be here whining. I not the one who need to get a life, it's you that is defending HTC like it's your mother, simply because you didn't like the fact that the review point out something bad about the phone.
                      Also, don't feel sorry for me, I'm not buying this phone anyway. ;)

                        GSMArena thanks for your review but in the Key Features you mentioned:
                        Android OS v2.3 Gingerbread with HTC Sense 3.5

                        but in the review you said HTC Sense 3.0

                        I think you should correct the Key Features

He has not invented flaws since they actually exist, if the flaw is not a problem to you, than just ignore it. You shouldn't care too much about it, it's not like HTC is your mother.

                                    Indeed. This overpriced mp3 player sux.
