Actually once you pass 3 megapixels, it really doesn't matter unless you plan to display your images on a huge screen. What you really need to be concerned about is the quality not the megapixels.

Absolutely right. It's more about the lens and sensor. You can have 10MP but if the sensor and lens aren't up to snuff it's meaningless. I'd rather the manufacturer gave me a 3.2MP with a better sensor and higher quality lens than 8 or 10MP and lower sensor/lens. And face it, it is a trade-off. Your'e not going to get it all in a camera phone, especially as long as the carriers understand that MP sells. That is the one option I wish we had for higher-end phones, the option to upgrade to a better sensor and a Zeiss lens, for example. Some people care about the camera, some don't.

SO ANYWAYS SHOULD I GET THIS PHONE OR THE HD2 FROM T-MOBILE?? WHICH ONE IS BETTER????

It's personal need, wants, preference. Sprint is on CDMA network T-Mobile is GSM, if you go abroad or may GSM is better due to the worldwide use of it. The Supersonic VS. HD2 spec wise is about the same. Now the operating systems are different and have their advantages on both ends. The supersonic will be running Android, if you like fun and useful apps as well as amazing support for customizability with ease of use Android is a good choice. The HD2 runs Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense user interface, if you like ease of use and entertainment with amazing business support for Microsoft exchange server as well as Microsoft Word and Excel type use then give the HD2 a look. Also Windows Mobile is highly customizable but in my opinion it may be a little more user intensive, also the onboard app market doesn't have as many choices but I expect it will pick up. Although online you can find thousands of free programs for WM devices. So to sum it all up they look to both be amazing devices and I don't think you would be dissapointed by any means no matter which one you try. One more thing, rumorsof T-Mobiles HSPA+ yes plus not just HSPA could possibly be out by theend of the year supporting 21mb/sec which most all 3G T-mo phones will natively support, so something to think about.

The HD2 isnt even 6 months old bud. The only big difference between the Supersonic and HD2 is the operating system. Both OS's are good so it's nothing to right home about.

its a year behind the curve. and every one knows the leo rumors have been out as long. but whatever. the hd2 is a dead phone as it stands as of yet seeing that its not getting the upgrade to the new wp7s.

I really don't think windows 6.5 will be that bad on a phone like the HD2 cause its interfaced to death with htc's interface, and if you don't like that, there are a ton of others including simple windows mobile shell. All that keeps current with facebook integration, widgets, and other features. WM7 is too far off and unproven with no backwards compatibility. My only down with windows is alot of companies simply arn't making apps for windows like they are for android and iphones, especially touch friendly apps

that would have to be a matter of opinion my friend. whats sad is sprints 4g coverage which has been out for less than a year is just slightly less than t-mobiles 3g coverage that has been out for a few years. i have been with sprint for 5 years and never once had one coverage issue or an issue with customer service. it has been far better than any service i ever got with verizon, and hell of alot better than that joke called AT&T.

Sprints 3g coverage isn't much better than t-mobiles 3g? You must be joking or obviously just stating something completely out your ass. http://vzwmap.verizonwireless.​com/dotcom/coveragelocator/ima​ges/maps/3Gcomparison.pdf T-mobile 3g? Where is it?

i can't decide what to write here.... ummmm.... some of you guys are morons. sprint's 4G is slower that some company's 3G? really?!?!?! sprint's 3G is FASTER than any other company's 3G and i've had the chance to try them all. if anyone has had the chance to try clearwire/sprint's 4G please speak up. it's ripping balls fast for wireless data access. FanBoys and NaySayers boooo. base your criticism on facts. wimax is rocket fuel.

@AZNphoneGeek, I totally agree with you. I have used Spint's 4g service here in Charlotte and it's blazing fast. So to the haters talking nonsense.......................and I do mean nonsense need to be quite, stop hating, and realize one of the best phones in the industry is about to come out not to mention on one of the best networks. I'm starting to see the Supersonic in my near future....................Get in where you fit in
