I just googled HTC Sensation and look what came up!
Looks like HTC may have leaked some details a little early...
And now the Sensation has cleared the FCC:

Whatever... I am trying to post this from work and I am using IE 6....
Anyway, I googled 'HTC Sensation' and a sponsored link came up from HTC that said "HTC Sensation 4G - On 6/8 - Complete w/ HTC Watch & HTC Sense".
oh cool, the image does display correctly. I uploaded the image from work and XDA posting options are all jacked on IE6...
it sure as hell does...i hope this is true
Here's to hoping!
nice catch
That would be a sweet birthday present for myself!
I just typed the same thing and it says "coming soon"

Hit search a couple more times, the link changes.
I just got it to come up again at 8:00 pm PDT.
It came up for me as well. It certainly seems that June 8 is the big day!
Supporting "Evidence"
If you look at the screen shot from the T-Mobile Announcement during the Release Event in London, the date on the Phone reads June 8 as well.

Wow, that can't be just a coincidence. Guess I'll start counting down the days in my calendar. =)

Oh yeah!
I stopped in my local T-Mob yesterday and they were all speculating for an end of May release (graduation time they said).
But, I have 5 bucks on it being released on June 8th! Can't wait!!!

That's funny!
Looks like TmoNews has now posted the Google AdWords link mentioning the June 8th release date.
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/04/htc-sensation-arriving-june-8th-google-says-yes/
And check out the date on the phone, 68 degrees = 6/8
Ha!
To add more fuel to the speculative fire, the weather widget clearly states "Seattle", which is the home base of T-Mobile USA. In light of all the evidence, I think it's safe to treat the rumored 6/8 release date as fact.
Also number 8 is a lucky number in Chinese. Remember Biejing Olympic 08/08/2008?

It looks like March 3rd/4th is the next rumored drop date for the TB. BGR is reporting an insider at VZW was at an event held last night with TB launch details etc.
http://www.bgr.com/2011/02/24/htc-thunderbolt-may-launch-on-march-3rd-or-4th-4g-lte/
-Lil'
I saw that in the Android Central forums, it's quite possible. If the date holds I can hold on another week. Of course it'd be nice for Verizon to say something.
I actually beleive this may really be the date, Im kind of relieved..
My local Verizon corp. store took down all their TB signs. They are only flying the iP4 signs now. There for a while the walls were plastered with TB ads and signs.
Which "MARCH MADNESS" are we going to watch the NCAA BASKETBALL or the VERIZON /HTC Thunderbolt madness ???????
It might be even later if they can't get the FW more stable. It looks like they are going to just release the device and then push a couple OTA after release.
I've had the Incredible since May of 2010(one of the lucky ones) and am amazed at the recent rom development for this phone. I am also eligible for an upgrade as I am the primary line account.
That being said, I am excited for the Thunderbolt; but I can wait for the release. Chances are Verizon may lower the price after 30 days or so, depending on how well its received.

Yeah , having my Inc and a good rom makes the wait easier. Still want the Tbolt soon.

I must have missed that info. Has anyone with credibility actually stated that, or is that just another rumor being thrown around? I would assume if they already shipped out plenty of units, the FW would be plenty stable.
Would you please post a link to the source of that concern.

I work for Qualcomm, and the device went gold since January. The Network is being fine tuned to handle the LTE devices, and iPhone traffic, but the firmware is not the reason. There were numerous tentative release dates, but Verizon publically stated 1Q. Iphone 4 was the first priority, but that's my opinion.
Does anyone know of a firm release date for the Sprint Nexus-S 4G ? Everything I read online is all over the board. I called Sprint stores near me, and they know nothing, one girl said it should be out this Summer, July/August she said Best Buy Mobile said maybe April 20th, this week. And some online sites say May 8th.
I wasz tlod yesterday when I reserved mine that it will be in the next 45 days. I know that is not a firm date but its better then nothing.

k thanks, so it's not due out until June then. For some reason I thought it was coming late April / early May.
I talked to a few best buy reps..Sunday I heard the 19th. Yesterday (I don't know if she slipped on telling me) I was told system shows in stock for tomorrow...so..another rep said no date yet....but...hopefully today...or I might just jump evo. I'm tired of Samsung never sticking to their word...pretty rediculous
Supposedly training at Sprint just started today, so hopefully it will be out in the next couple weeks. Hoping for asap of course...

This could be what we were all waiting for...
The image has T-mobile sign... fingers crossed.
As many people around the web have been stating, the "goes to eleven" reference is a Spinal Tap reference, meaning this is probably something to do with Google Music.
However, this was posted on Android's G+ page about an hour and a half ago: https://plus.google.com/u/0/104629412415657030658/posts/UggjKRhTn58
I knew someone would post this so I didn't. Lol. Yeah, could be more to it, but this is definitely something about google music

I think it is primarily going to be for Google Music (given the plethora of references to music on the pic) but I imagine they are going to announce some big info about the gNexus (more likely GSM) right at the end of the event (or anytime.. but at the end.. would be cooler)..
This could be the event that never happened in the US for the nexus.. Googles way of making it up to us by revealing maybe a release date/pricing of unlocked 32GB nexus in the US.. through sammy/google site?
Something to do with this: http://stupiddope.com/2011/10/05/mr-brainwash-artist-invitation-2011-art-show/
But also Android (obviously), T-Mobile, and Spinal Tap.

Read from a post on Engadget that made sense to me. Tmo introduced the myTouch Fender (Fender is on the picture) awhile ago. So, it's probably a new phone that has the Fender name tied to it or another special edition. It revolves around the whole music theme.
I'm hoping I'm wrong though.

I still think the galaxy nexus sch-i515 and the. GT-I9250 are two different phone internally and colors ect on the outside shape may be the same. But I think this is what everyone's missing.
I bet the gt series Will be the the nexus prime still
Looks like t-mobile has also sent out invites for the same event. So there may be a possibility for us to see GN announced for t-mobile too.

Hi,
Anyone care to open HTC Calendar and go to February 2011?
How many days do you have in February?
Does your 2011 start on Thursday instead of Saturday?
PS: Tapping on corresponding bad dates opens a different date actually.

I recall scanning through an article someplace saying the same thing. from either gizmodo or engadget
I would also guess June...
You guys need to keep up with the news. Last week there was a screenshot leaked that showed that the Sensation was scheduled to get it's update on June 16th. That screenshot was never confirmed. About a 5 days later, T-mobile said that they had completed testing on the ICS update and that the OTA would be available "soon". Soon has never accurately been defined as far as Android updates go, so it could mean anything from next week to never.

Sick and tired of it all, going to the unlocked Nexus for my phone next so I don't have to deal with this carrier BS.
Well T-Mobile in the UK released their over a month ago!
I been running ICS for about 4 weeks now?
What if I have a Sensation 4G (T-Mobile branded) that is unlocked and I'm using it on Vodafone in Romania? Where do you think I should be receiving the update from?

He's obviously not an official source. Regardless, it seems that TMOUS is back peddling once again...
I would suggest that nobody gets their hopes up about seeing it this week. June 16th is a very likely possibility!

Hey guys. The news from last week was really just that the update build passed testing.
Before the update passes testing, it could potentially get sent back to HTC for more development time or canceled entirely (As explained here). So this is a milestone. I don't know everything, but there's more to deployment than flipping a switch.
As some said, I'm just a messenger. Whether or not I give you little news, the update is coming at the same speed. Some people said they wanted more communication. If you don't want little news, that's fine; it's easier on me.

The reason why it took so long supposedly was because of WiFi Calling, they had issues early on that delayed it, which is fine by me, I'd wait longer to have a functional WiFi calling on ICS.
