I have read several rumors that the Sensation will come to T-Mobile USA June 8th. That rumor was back in early April. Getting a little worried because there have been no rumors/or any news on this phone for folks in the United States. I really can't wait to get my hands on this phone. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.
It went through the FCC last week. http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/05/htc-sensation-4g-hits-the-fcc-shows-off-t-mobile-friendly-aws-r/
Yeah I forgot about that. I am just so anxious for this phone. Its getting harder and harder using my Blackberry Bold 9700. I really would like the June 8th date confirmed by T-Mobile USA already.
LOL you sound like me. I'm looking to get rid of my BB as well. Well for now I'm going to try and keep the BB as data only for BBM. Have way too many contacts there :S.
I come here a few times a day to see if there are any new info.
Did you see this post?
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13719751&postcount=7

Looks like June 8th is the day.
Hells yeah according to this new article the sensation 4g will be released on the 8th as rumored. Can't wait to get my hands on this sweet thing.

Hi does anybody know if and when the HD3 will be coming to the Uk,
it's just that I am due for an upgrade next month and I'm getting the HD2,
which will tie me up for another 18 months. I have read speculation of a November release, and if this is true I may as well hold out till then.
Anyone know when the HD5 will be released, while we're at it?

Think your funny eh sunshine.
Q3 this year (juli), a 4,3 inch HTC device will probably be released.
Check this news about it.
I am with you on this one. I also would like to know exactly when it will be released. I am in the US and have SPRINT. So, I know that will mean an even longer wait for me and everyone else who has either SPRINT or VERIZON who are both CDMA. I also would like to know if HTC will release one with a keyboard.

Dialaphone are doing the HD2 on vodafone £40 a month 300 mins ult txt and ult net on a 12 month contract. If minutes aren't an issue go for that wish I had seen it before I signed up for my 24 month lol
Hey all. So I have been available for an Upgrade on Sprint since Dec 1st. I have been passionately holding onto my Hero, lovingly flashing it with new Roms to keep my hopes alive that it is still awesome.
I read an article that as of April 1st, we will be losing the $150 upgrade bonus, dropping it down to $75.
I have been holding out on my upgrade for the next 'big' thing after the Evo, but it just doesn't seem like that will happen in time.
Now that I have made it almost two months without upgrading, I am starting to lose my cool. Especially with the possibility of losing half of my upgrade $$$.
Should I just jump ship to the Evo, or does anyone have word of something I should hold out for? If not I am going to go get it today at 3pm!
Well supposedly they are making the change April 1st. Your yearly upgrade would dissapear and you would be stuck until your 22nd month of your contract before you upgrade unless you have been with Sprint 10 years or have a plan that is like $80 a month, basically their top plan that hardly anyone uses.
Anyway, I have not heard any news of a new Sprint phone. They are having some announcment in the begining of Feb but who knows what it will be. You would think we would have heard of a new phone comng to them by now which means even if they announce a new phone it probably won't hit until the summer at the earliest, especially since the Evo isn't even a year old until then.
I always say buy a phone when you need it unless you know for sure somehting is releasing right around the corner. I would go for it. You can return it for 30 days if you see some huge announcement of a new phone from Sprint in Feb. Either that or pay the ETF to leave Sprint and buy one of the big new shiny phones in a couple months from another carrier, which is a long time to wait when you want a new phone and kinda spendy when you factor in the ETF. Though it wouldn't surprise me if lot of people will be doing that with Sprint taking the yearly upgrades away if they don't announce a new phone.
I dont really see any point in changing carriers quite yet. Sure the Nexus is a sexy piece of hardware as well, but Sprint has not done me wrong yet.
I was all about the Evo on launch, and was prepared to get my gf on Sprint with me as a family plan just to get the damn thing. Thankfully enough Sprints servers were down due to all the action on Launch day and I didn't get it. I have been holding out since, assuming something better may be around the corner, and neither the Evo Shift or the the Samsung Epic have done anything to sway my desires (I hate slide out keyboards). So I figure I may as well be a late arrival to the Evo family and take advantage of all the awesome ROM's that have been developed and tested into the ground. I can see spending a year with it.
Not to mention the Evo is more than equipped to get me through the next year, and into Android 2.3 realms.
This might be a stupid question, (sorry if it is). But what exactly is happening on April 1st? So there will be no more $150.00 discounts after two years? They're bringing it down to $75.00?
According to carphonewarehouse, they are expecting the sensation to be released in July.

However, the date can be changed without notice.

I was in CPW Aberdeen this morning.Guy there said sim free sensation in 2-3 weeks.I asked about the july date on the website and he said i`d get a lot sooner than that.
Cant wait to get it
i think its time to switch from wm to andriod
so the sensation is out for a few days, but no official review yet on any site... odd
Apparently HTC hasn't sent out any handsets to reviewers yet which i find a bit odd :\

Why would a device go on sale before it can be sent to reviewers....have they got something to hide or are they trying to maximize sales just in case its a bad review, either way it doesn't give me great confidence.
I remember that the first day the galaxy S II was out, the net was floded with reviews, starting from engadget, techradar and so on... on the sensation case... nada
This is what i'm worried about
I've been waiting for this device since it was leaked as the pyramid all those moons ago.
It's been released and there's barelty a squeek on the internet about it. Only here is where you can get info about it really. Slashgear did a minimum effort with news to follow...but other than that...not really much.
For a company that are producing record profits, you'd have thought that they would spend a load of money on marketing and advertising to increase sales....I went into the vodafone shop on day 2 in Colchester and they said only one person had enquired about it all day (this was 3pm).
Are they saving everything for the Evo 3D?
Have I understood something wrong or is the phone only available from Vodafone at the moment? And isn't that exclusive for them for a couple of weeks or so? Maybe htc haven't sent any to reviewers yet, because the phone is not officially available until 27th of june?
The first review is online now:
http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-review-23153699/
Ooops, made a new thread when i found that review.
My bad. Sorry.
I see your point about it not being officially launched.
However, why do you say June 28th is the official date? It's widely rumored to launch on T-mobile US on June 8th. Is T-mobile also getting some advance?

Pretty generic quickie review there. That recorded video is still awful looking, and falls in line with the other video captures floating around youtube. They seem to be giving it a pass, along with the "stereo sound". Their idea of a battery test is also as unconvincing as ever. Instead of running benchmarks in their videos, they should actually show the browser performance between the two, because that is really the only thing that will stand out the most. Ugh, I expect as much from slashgear.
I picked that date from some website and don't remember which one it was. But it will be released earlier than June 28th. I know that because my operator here in Finland is expecting it to be available around weeks 23-24. They are usually at least a week behind of the other operators here, so the T-Mobile launch for June 8th might be quite accurate.

Yea, it's going to be on T-Mobile June 8th. Once there you'll see plenty of reviews.
Argh!! I was hoping for official reviews so I could get this on launch day... (June 8th) guess I will have to wait another week or so.

You still have some time and it's quite likely that GSMArena will review it by then (I said likely, not definite).
There are still 2 weeks before the 8th after all

Sites like CNet might have something (short) the day before US launch. But that may be about it.
don't think this has been posted yet...
http://recombu.com/news/htc-sensation-first-impressions_M14327.html
more of a quick first impression with a full review coming but I guess it qualifies as 'official'
I just wondering is there a solid date when this phone hits the US, I hear the 8th but that might just be rumor, have T-Mobile or HTC announced anyhing THX.
Several sources have confirmed it will be released on June 8th. In fact, T-Mobile's leaked roadmap says it will be released on that day.
Hey,
Well not to be a **** but I am a proud owner of one already as one of the first few in the world (no its not a review unit):-D
