If those are your choices then ignore the Desire S as the Galaxy S2 and the Sensation are both significantly better...

Heard a lot of good things about both, but not messed about with either...

IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!

Modifications
Completed:

Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )

In Progress:

E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake

The S2 imho is the best phone available currently (including the iPhone 4). So if within budget, that's the one to get. The sensation should cost about the same as the S2, and between the two the S2 wins hands down.

The Desire is a good cost saving alternative.

Just out of curiosity why did you go for the LG?

I've had a LG for years and when I was due to upgrade I did not have the internet to have a look at them so just went for a newer LG. I dont know what phone I'll be entitled to but I'll push my luck to get a good one

Not just your opinion mate. Best selling smart phone in the UK at the mo. I've had one from launch week. I have played with the Sensation too, it is a good bit of kit, and I'm sure you would be happy with it. However my money would still be on the similarly spec'd S2, as the graphics chip is better, it has a bit more RAM and is slimmer and lighter in your hand (and pocket). However it's biggest strong point is the Super-AMOLED Plus screen, so much brighter and more vibrant than ANYTHING else available, a lot more viewable in bright sunlight too.

Agree with you on all that, will also add that I found the sensation a bit laggy, which is the main gripe with the android operating system.

The S2 is the first handset to completely wash away all those regular complaints, it provides such a smooth experience, with truly astonishing battery life (compared to everything I've used before it)

just for your info Moley you do not have to make a decision by thursday (however they may have said that if they have offered you a specific loyalty), you can ask them to cancel the upgrade (once they have received the returned handset) for the time being and they can completely re-instate your upgrade status, meaning you are not re-signed into the new term, but are still connected, then you can take your time about picking a new handset and re-sign a new term when you have made your decision, you still then have the choice of where you upgrade to get a good deal, whether thats direct, thru carphone, phones4u etc...

Just got myself an S2 on upgrade after pondering over the various options for several hours. Then I'll have to decide whether I want to keep my iPhone 4 or the S2. Something tells me the iPhone will be going byebye.
