Completely agree. But as it looks now stock ics is now better than sense ics.

iPhone design hasn’t changed much since the original launch of the iPhone. They make a slight shift and suddenly they are crowned design champions?

Actually, with ICS, Google is actually finally catching up to Sense.

Sense has alot of features that people think are native to Android. People think things as simple as smart dialer are Android features, but in fact are HTC features. Alot of people who switch away from HTC are disappointed with the older Google interfaces because what they think are Gingerbread, Froyo or earlier OS treatments are actually Sense functionality.

I do wondering about Sense in ICS because Google FINALLY decided to concentrate on user experience and it does look better than it ever has. I think Sense has to be radically changed to keep ahead of ICS.

Not requiring them doesn’t mean it is not smart to have them. The buttons can let the OEM be more creative on the software buttons. Also, if a program crashes (do software crash on android?) a capacitive home button will work, whereas a software home key may not.

And most android phone users are used to the buttons, so I don’t know if MOST people not wanting them to see buttons is an accurate statement.

That’s why I have the GN and the Rezound Sense when I want it(in my left pocket and great camera) Stock ICS for the epic in my right D:D:DD::D:D:DD::D:D::D HEAVEN!

So randomly theres a bar at the bottom with only one button? One menu button? There’s no bar here like G-N

Oh that’s a good point. I haven’t realized that. Damn They are screwed. Imagine an app that needs menu button(such as productivity) and something tells me that it won’t look good, whatever HTC comes up with.

I liked the Pre-Evo 3D era of HTC styling. Then it all went bad. Even though I bought the rezound(which looks okay) it’s gone downhill. The nexus One,and Hero, and Legend and Sensation were the best of their designs, and few of the more esstically pleasing designs in Android history.

HTC Sense used to be good. Because it made the crappy OLD android better. Now ICS is BETTER than Sense, as I have a Rezound and GN and I can say, that Matias Duarte really let out his designing capabilities and it’s gorgeous. Sense won’t be needed, and from what we saw, it removes the high tech holo blue theme and put the ugly gray and green. Ugh. I might buy this, put AOSP on it. But right now GN is my phone of choice

Here’s the Problem with On Screen Buttons:
The Onscreen Buttons Move, Change Place.
When Using Apps like Google Maps, a Fourth Menu Button Appears. Lots of Other Apps, Like Pandora, Menu Buttons appear.
Not only that but the Galaxy Nexus Works in Any Orientation. You can hold the phone in upside down and the menu buttons will go to the top of the screen so you can use the phone upside down.

Basically HTC is limiting the functionality of the Phone by putting the buttons on the hardware.

its not that hardware buttons suck or anything, i think most people don’t want to see them because native ICS phones don’t require them.
