That said after yesterday's 4S announcement and a $250 bill from ATT for a bunch of crap I pulled the ripcord and now have an HTC Sensation on T-Mobile. So far so good though I'm having trouble mounted the SD card via my Mac. Beyond that I've got things working fine - bluetooth connection with my car is seamless, I have gmail calendar and contacts imported, and all my email works perfectly. Plus I have $50/mo per line family plan with unlimited everything. No more $250/mo bills. Freakin' ATT...

I had decent battery life with the Inspire and so far today it is fine with the Sensation (compared to my iPhone). It totally depends on how you use your phone and how it is configured. iPhone OS is more elegant in some ways and more seamless with Mac though the new iCloud service is a question mark as is iOS5.

I suspect you may have LOTS of contacts. If you do, you may want to check out 2 apps. StarContact. Some folks will use the search widget to get to people. I've never adopted that. What I like about starcontact is that if you have a bunch of contacts, it allows you to use T9 text prediction to search through your contacts. It's much better than scrolling up and down through a huge list. Starcontact also improves on the call log over the standard, IMO. With Starcontact installed, you can still access your contacts and call logs via the standard app.

Also, if you have a bunch of contacts and you like to group them you may want to check out Contact GroupsU For instance, I might make groups like family, immediate family, coworkers, close friends, etc... And I like to give each their own distinctive ringtone so I know essentially who's calling before I look at my phone. Contact GroupsU allows you to much more easily setup contact groups. It's probably got a lot more functionality, but that's what I use.
