The next sorts applications by launch frequency, and the final one is simply a list of downloaded applications. The first is just the default application view, which can be sorted by alphabet or date. The other major change are the three icons at the bottom, which act like tabs. There’s no way to disable this, which is the thing I think will enrage some people. I initially hated this, now I’ve gotten used to mentally going to a specific page and then locating an application. Swiping up and down slides you through these pages, which get snapped to. First off is probably the most polarizing - scrolling is now done by pages (each comprised of a 4 x 5 grid of icons), instead of in a fluid smooth manner. The application launcher also gets some interesting tweaks. The selected homescreen then snaps around easily. You can now also rearrange homescreen order in the zoomed out view by long-pressing on individual windows. Swiping fast also results in the whole affair spinning very fast, which seems to be the first thing everyone does when they pick up an HTC Sense 3.0 equipped phone.

Sense’s earliest relatives helped keep Windows Mobile as a platform afloat, and likewise kept HTC in the business of selling Windows Mobile phones until Android became the obvious next step. HTC feels very strongly about Sense, and again if you go back in time you can almost understand why. That brings us to the oft-maligned HTC Sense, which the Sensation includes the very latest version of, Sense 3.0.
