The user experience on a mobile phone is perhaps more important than all of the features that the developers manage to pack into the device. It is for this exact reason that many brands have spent lots of time developing there own user interface which make the day to day use of the handset not only simple but also fun. Many aspects of the user interface however are often overlooked. Take HTC Sense for example, this superb system is known for its social networking facilities yet beyond that people do not really know what over excellent little touches it brings to a handset. The Sensation is the new flagship phone from HTC complete with the very latest version of Sense so lets take a little look at some of the lesser known features of this excellent system.

What the developer at HTC have done with this interface is taken everyday issues and improved upon them. A great example of this can be found with the camera facility on the Sensation. With many digital cameras there is a slight time lapse from the moment you press the shutter button to the moment the image is actually captured. This was not satisfactory for HTC, ...
... they wanted an instant camera shutter and that is what you get with the Sensation. No more missing that vital moment because of the small delay, the image stored on the phone is what you will see through the screen the exact moment you press the button. Some of the features of the Sense user interface serve no practical purpose and are merely there just to make things look nice. This is equally important to the overall experience the user receives, if the screen entertains them and wows their friends every time they pick the phone up then this can only be a good thing. Thanks to the global positioning the phone has some applications know your exact position which can lead to some entertaining features. Take looking at the weather for example, not content with showing you the weather where you are the Sensation gives you an complete experience by changing the wallpaper on the phone to match your conditions. So if it is raining you will see drops of water bouncing off the screen or feel rays of sun if the weather is good.

The HTC Sensation benefits from some superb web connectivity which enables the handset to maintain a constant link to the world wide web. This is done via WiFi or if you are on the move via a number of mobile data transfer networks such as 3G and EDGE. This constant connection enable features such as Friendstream to update you on what is happening with your favourite social networking sites. We all know that when using the internet if we want to look something up we can access a site such as Google to find the information that we require. HTC have taken this a step further by implementing a quick lookup tool within the phone browser. This gives you instant access to sites such as Google or Wikipedia, saving you time and again just making simple tasks even more logical.

The HTC Sensation sports a massive array of features that will win it many admirers, however pick the phone up and spend a few minutes with it and you will see how quickly its simple operation grows on you. The Sensation together with Sense user interface is a match made in heaven.

The HTC Sensation and the LG Optimus Chic are available now.
