There hasn't been any other news?

Play.com is a UK vendor. I believe snarestud was referring to the US release date.
I actually went into a T-Mobile store this morning and asked when I can pre-order the sensation? And the girl actually said, "I don't know when you can pre-order, but it comes out June 8th."

Yeah from what I have heard from T-Mobile June 8th is still the day. I got a GX2, but have had issues with it going in and out, and seemingly destroying some SIM cards. So I am looking forward to the Sensation coming on T-Mobile as well as not looking forward to going to Verizon and turning my old no contract phone back on. Let's hope it continues to be June 8th definitely.
From what I heard from a friend that works at T-Mob, they will be going for training the 23rd for this device.
please tell me that its available on June 8 and its not just a preorder date

It is June 8 Tmobile always releases a phone on wed. The 23 of June is Thursday.

When I said the 23rd it's May 23rd not June 23rd for the training. They go to training a few weeks before the devices goes on sale.
thats great! I can't wait til June 8th. Since my bought my Vibrant outright, I am eligible for an upgrade.
I'm looking forward to going to the HTC platform. I like the Vibrant, as well as my custom rom, but I think I would like HTC Sense a lot more. Is it true that the phone will be able to wifi tether? as well as skype?

If you're talking about tmous then it'll probably be locked but they're good at giving you the unlock code if you ask.

I noticed this morning that Amazon.co.uk have now put the unlocked sim-free HTC Sensation up for pre-order at £499, with a release date of 15th June.
Hi Guys and Girls,
I'm a store manager at a Phones 4u store in Woolwich, London. Just to let you know that the HTC Sensation will be released tomorrow (20/05/2011) I will have limited stock availability tomorrow.
This will be available on a 24 month contract on Vodafone only at £35 per month and on 18 months at £45 per month, again only on Vodafone. There may be other tariffs but I will not know until tomorrow.
If anyone is local and is desperate to get your hands on this device please contact the store on 0208 316 2638.
Unfortunately as much as I am a huge fan of XDA Developers and love the support from everyone that posts I am unable to offer any special discount.
The only thing I will do is give a free case (An official HTC one worth £19.99) with your phone if you mention that you got this message from XDA Developers.
Thanks,
I'm not trying to post ads here but I'm sure there are people who are just as excited as I am to get this phone so I thought I'd give all you a heads up
I see that t-mobile us says that the phone will be released BY june 15, does anyone know if any us retailer will actually have the phone on june 8?

I just got the G2x, I will get the Sensation too and then decide which one I like better. Not too concerned with the bootloader as I'm sure someone will crack it eventually.
Cool. Does the G2x have an encrypted bootloader? Or is it already cracked?

HTC rep here,
I can confirm that the subsidized price will indeed be $199.99 on a 2-year contract.
I know most markets are different but here in DFW we are having our HTC Sensation launch party on June 6th and will be available in stores on the 8th.

I love the Sensation and I am willing to give up my brand new arc for it but ONLY if its rootable
so once the sensation is out, can we expect the price of the incredible S to drop? because it doesnt make sense to me that the incredible S price is over $500 non subsidized and the sensation is going to cost even less? i find it odd...

Leaving for work in about 30 minutes. Today is our quarterly meeting/HTC Sensation training. I will have this confirmed and answered and possibly with some photos by the end of the day.
If you have any questions about the device just reply quote em' here and I'll be checking throughout the day and get as many of them answered from the engineers.
Side notes: The prototype that we played with the other day had 5 different little holes scattered throughout the back (I'll try to get a detailed pic of it today). Apparently, they're mic/antenna's. Once the case is off you can see the antenna lining around the back where the holes were placed... very interesting design. The engineer did say the final version might not have them though, as they did look really... strange. Also if you place the phone face down, the screen does not touch the surface.
I'm liking the insider information here. This is much better than videos on YouTube going over the same features.
I just got a G2x and I'm thinking about the sensation, however I'm not inclined to go HTC if they're going to start locking things down. Cyanogen is pro-G2x at the moment and noted on twitter (I think) that they're not going to support the sensation if its locked down.
I am basing my next purchase solely on the support of cyanogen and a few others may be doing the same. It would be nice to know whether the bootloader would be locked or not as well as current battery life stats - real ones.

HTC Sensation does NOT have encryption on their bootloader.
HTC Sensation will have sign bootloader basic security not as tight as Moto.

"Off contract" means that you're not required to extend or renew your contract to get a subsidized phone price.
Generally speaking, you _should_ be able to walk into any wireless carrier store and purchase any phone at full price without signing a contract or even activating a line. With most Verizon and Sprint phones, this is a moot point due to CDMA.
I purchased a G2x last Wednesday from the T-Mo store. I've got an Even More Plus plan, so I had the option of either getting the phone through an EIP, pay-per-month or full-price. Because they discounted the phone, EIP wasn't available, so I dropped my card and went on my way.
Only to return it last night.
You should be able to go into the T-Mobile store and simply tell them that you'd like to purchase the phone, for full price, and if they resist, find another store. It should be easy to give the excuse of traveling overseas and/or giving it as a gift and activating it later.
Sensation releases June 8th. How can I make sure I get one? Is there a way to preorder this on Tmobile's website? I don't understand how this works?
Thanks in advance everybody!
Just like the G2X was available in stores on the 20th of last month, the Sensation will be available in stores on the 8th. Pre-orders will start 3-4 days earlier and the info will be found on T-Mobile's website.

As I found out when the HTC Sensation was released on Vodafone (19th May), turning up at a store on the morning of the day of release is the best way to make sure you get one. I even beat everybody who'd pre-ordered one on the website (including myself, the store cancelled my online order and gave me a phone from the shop's stock)!

pretty much spot on here, i went a day after release to my local Vodafone shop and they still had a few left, and my pre order had still not arrived so i cancelled and got one from the shop
Hi!
Does anybody know when the regular version of this phone (without any Vodafone involvement) is going to be released? The only specific date I was able to find was on Amazon UK - June 15th (http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-Sensati...SJ78/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306684121&sr=8-1)
We all know their dates are often just guesses - should I hope for a June 15th release or am I possibly going to wait much longer?
its also quoted 15 june here
http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/Brands/HTC/b509/n443/p107027.aspx
Let's hope it is true, then
Handtec and clove report 27th June. As they are main distributors and usually get the phone first, I would say 15th would be unlikely.

Its pretty much the same in any tech based shop I've been in.
Photographic, Computing, Phones, a vast majority (chains especially) tend to go for the cheap spotty oik who knows nothing about their industry, let alone their stock.
I have noticed in the past that sellers in stores like Carphone Warehouse do not actually know the fact. CPW website says that the SIMFREE, unbranded Sensation will be available in July 2011. See the link:

HTC Malaysia launches the phone (unlocked, unbranded) today. I'm getting mine in about 13 hours from now. Exciting.

I have just acquired an HTC Sensation, bought from a friend who had an upgrade and didn't want it. I put an O2 sim it and it seems to work perfectly, image attached.
HI Guys
I got htc sensation (swisscom) branded and it is unlocked. I can see only swisscom logo but i can use every simcard. i want get to know when htc sending any updates in coming future, will my sensation receive with non-branded devices or I have to wait till swisscom send any updates? thanks

Damn you
This whole one month Vodafone-exclusivity deal is very annoying, I really can't believe this was a wise decision by HTC as the Galaxy S2 is a very strong contender that has been freely available from the first day.
I will, of course wait this final month - but still, I probably wouldn't have even considered (and ordered, then returned) the Galaxy S2 if the Sensation had been released in may.

Also, any info on how to find the Select Walmarts on June 12th? Wonder if that means 12:01am you can get it at a 24hrs store.

UPDATE 6/8/2011: It appears that Walmart stores that have inventory are selling them for $600 off contract and $148.88 for 2-Year contract.
UPDATE 6/12/2011: Here is a PDF print out of the Walmart Ad showing the price at $148.88 for those that want to try and price match incase their local Walmart is out of stock due to this post on XDA
this the kind of thread people lash at you lol. You called ths stores like I did and they said the 15th.... xda isnt gonna be able to tell you different.. i would just look @ tmobile news via droiddog dot come and call your local stores friday saturday and sunday and the days prior to the 15th... good luck.. i want it bad too!
I went to my local T-Mobile store and they also would only disclose June 15th as the go-live date for the Sensation @ T-Mobile Stores.
However, he showed me their Sensation display phone and said that they were receiving boxes (6/5) that were shrink wrapped and labeled do not open till 6/8. He couldn't confirm but he thinks its marketing/advertising stuff and that's when they need to start putting up the marketing and display material up in their store.
In checking out the demo phone (not working) and actually holding it in my hand, the feel and look of the phone are pretty sweet!

Well...let me set my track record here first...
I was able to get my TouchPro2 2 days early by heading to some select BestBuy stores that had inventory on hand and was willing to sell it. It was a thread just like this that made it possible.
I was also able to get my HD2 2 or 3 days early by calling several local T-Mobile stores. The store I went to said...if the phone is in the system and I have the unit in hand they will sell it. And they did.
So...this is a usefull thread if indeed the phones get sold prior to June 15th. The sooner I get a phone, the sooner I will be able to release a tested ROM or Add-ON.

Out of the 8 local stores I called, one confirmed that they would have them tomorrow June 8. So I'll be there first thing tomorrow and picking one up. Hopefully they stick to their word..
EDIT: Well damn it, I called again to double check and wouldn't you know it, they changed the date to 15th.. Two locations initially said 8th now the 15th.. FFUUU

I'm a T-Mobile USA employee. In a meeting it was originally announced for June 8th but recently that was changed to June 15. Reason is unknown. Speculation is a few last minute bug fixes.
The employee I spoke with had to ask one of his colleagues. At this point, I have just about resigned myself to waiting another week. I just sold my MT4G, so it's back to my trusty old G1 for a week.

I guess its off to Walmart then
Two tmobile locations in NJ told me the 8th, however, that was last Wednesday.
Will Walmart allow me to buy it off contract? Or are they strictly contracts and shenanigans?
I chatted with a T-Mobile rep yesterday. They said if I buy thru Walmart it will be thru Walmart Mobile. I don't understand this. They pretty much said I can't upgrade my current contract to get the HTC Sensation. I will have to wait till the 15th and get it thru T-Mobile. They also said they had the launch on the 15th of July in there system.

I've rooted and ROM'd phones for two employees at my city's largest T-Mobile store. One being a manager. They are always cool with me and will hold their first Sensation for me. We text each other with news so they said if they get them in for tomorrow's possible first day they would let me know. No word yet on receiving stock for tomorrow.
I live in Greensboro, NC. Not the biggest market so maybe they aren't on the premium stores list. If he texts me... this is the first place I'm posting.

this is pre-ordering directly from T-mobile btw.

My AT&T pre order from Sept 6th:
Pending Shipment
Carrier:
Shipping Date: 09/11/13 - 09/13/13*
So no change yet on that...
Called 1st AT&T store and they said Oct. 4th.
Just called another AT&T store (bigger store) and they said they will have the Galaxy Note 3 in stock on Oct 1...
1st Best Buy called and they have no stock and he checked the back stock to see if they even received any in the warehouse and they have not received any yet...
2nd Best Buy called, they had no idea when they would be in stock...
So far 1 person on the message boards said theirs shipped from AT&T but there is no proof.
My status still says shipping pending.
Checked on my status of the pre order on the 6th; still says shipment pending.
Anyone else get a shipping from AT&T yet?
I will keep you posted if anything changes.
