HD3 UK release

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

[INFO] Apparently HTC Sensation available NOW from Superetrader...

I bought my Desire HD (from pre-order) and my wifes Milestone 2 from them, so I know they are legit 100%...
Apparently they have them in stock for GBP 599.99...
I was going to trade up from DHD, but being that I bought it in Nov 2010, it's too soon to spend that much on the phone, I'll wait for the price to drop a bit...
But if anyone wants it, it seems you can get it immediately....

"FIRST UK STOCK LANDING 17TH OF APRIL"
It might be a typo or something, but 17. 4. is already passed, which should mean it's available!

It seems they took down the page, but it still shows up on the HTC product list (and you can add it to the cart):

I saw they have 100 of these in stock but I am wondering if they are fake or not.

Like I said, I bought 2 phones from them already (my DHD was preordered 4 weeks before shipping) and bunch of people from Modaco are their customers...
So business wise they are legit...
I do however believe that it's just a pre-order and that they made a typo regarding stock dates...

very strange
during the meeting in London in April, the sensation was supposed to be available for Vodafone first at mid may

Yeap it was a typo:
THIS PRODUCT LISTING IS PRE-ORDER ONLY
FIRST UK STOCK LANDING 17TH OF JUNE

[Q] so where are the official reviews?

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...

more of a quick first impression with a full review coming but I guess it qualifies as 'official'

When is it to be released?

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
But American Release date on t-mo is June 15th and in Walmart on June 12th

Anyone seen it in Hong Kong?

As per title has anyone seen the sensation available in Hong Kong yet? I'm flying there on Sat for a day trip and its between this and the Desire HD. I REALLY want to get the sensation, but I don't think it's around yet.
I'm sure I spotted it on a website, listed with the price a few weeks back but can't find the web site now. All the others I have found since have it listed but no price and no eta yet
So figured I'd ask in here on the off chance. I think the official release date is 8th June! sod's law that as I can't change my flight.
so anyone from HK on here and has anyone seen it there yet??

I saw a seller on ebay located in hongkong. Maybe you can contact the seller and find out if you can just pick it up at their warehouse.

Does that mean a launch ? or just a date for ?? or summit else altogether ?

I heard it will be available on 3th of June. I think you can shop around after 4: 00pm cause most of retailer get their inventory around that time.

http://www.android-hk.com/news/htc-sensation-hk-price-5198/
according to this website, it says the press conference is on june 3th and should be available later this week

Cheers guys
Brusko I emailed that seller and he said yes i can come and collect from xyz, BUT they are not open on Sat or Sun aaarrgghhh (I'm only there for Sat, it's a quick day trip for me)
However I'm guessing it MUST be available elsewhere and if the press release today holds true, fingers crossed I'll get this bad boy this weekend I hope

Cheers guy, found it no problems, couple of places said they'd be getting it later that day.
Paid 4,200 for it, but got 32gb class 10, MicroSD card thrown in too so I'm happy.
Just have to learn how navigate and use it now. 1st Andriod phone so it's gonna be a fun learning experience

There's a lot in Shen Zhen

I want to buy one! can you please point me to a shop in hongkong where they sell these.
hkd 4,200 w/ 32gb card btw is great!!
cheaper than that would be awesome!!!!

not bad 540 with 32gb sd card

I bought mine in Mong Kok. Plenty of places had it in stock. The big stores were expecting it that day.
I think I could've got the price down further if I'd been paying cash. As always cash is king there And if more places had it.
Sadly I was in a hurry else I would've gotten the cash in hand.
Couldn't find accessories for it though, but I'll get those later.
Right now I'm enjoying it, I showed it off to a few friends over the weekend, one guy started to get his iphone out and then saw how fast this is and didn't bother and just gave me the bird lol

Thanks! I'll try to find my way there this week.

Smartone also have the sensation now. Got mine there yesterday, unbranded as well.
The phone came with a load of preinstalled smartone apps. A quick factory reset and all the smartone apps are gone.

I've found this offer: SIM-free Sensation @ Paramoz.com for £386 + £12 delivery.
(panamoz.com/index.php/htc-sensation-z710e-8gb-due-core-android-sim-free-unlocked-smart-phone.html)
The price is much lower then anywhere else.
On their FAQ it says that they are based in Hong Kong, but phones are compatible with UK/Europe. (panamoz.com/index.php/FAQ)
Online reviews are quite good, so it could be worth buying. (google.co.uk/products/seller?&hl=en&zmi=panamoz.com&cmi=30208238839857152)
Has anyone here bought phones through HK-based sites like this one?
I wonder is it exactly the same phone as the one coming to UK on 20th of June?
