![]() We’ve got Android 2.3.3 running on the device here out of the box with a version of Sense 3.0 that’s basically identical to the one presented in the HTC Sensation 4G for T-Mobile. Of course you know the front face has the same circled set of Android menu buttons as well, and the whole handset feels rather solid if I do say so myself – our own Cory G repping AC on SG says the same. This recalls the EVO’s red rim and makes you feel right at home if you’ve been an EVO user since the old days. The battery cover consists of the entirety of the back of this device, a cool soft-plastic ribbed design with a large hole for the classically red-bordered set of cameras. While this switch has gotten a little loose in the short time we’ve had the device, it’s certainly stuck in place with whichever mode we’ve set it at, and the camera button is nothing but excellent, opening the standard camera app on a long press and activating recording like it aught to in all cases. ![]() We’re big fans of dedicated camera buttons around here, especially when they’re on device that don’t often see such buttons – in this case an HTC device, believe it or not. There’s a switch that goes back and forth between 3D and 2D specifically on your camera, next to this a lovely round and giant dedicated camera button. Then there’s a couple of rather unique and well-placed additions that you’re not going to see on ANY other devices in just such a form, both of these features on the right (or the top, if you’re holding the device in landscape mode). ![]() There’s a Micro USB port along the left, an intent along the bottom for popping off the battery cover if you like, and another excellent use of soft plastic on the volume rocker on the right. You’ve got a headphone jack on the top near the power/lock button which is in the standard top-right location but has a lovely soft-plastic feel. What you’ve got here is a device that’s solidly built, has a lovely 4.3″ 540 x 960 qHD display up front with glasses-free 3D, dual 5 MP cameras on the rear and a 1.3 MP front-facing camera for video chat.
