Verizon in May and all the rest first week of June

In France, may 12, with SFR (Vodafone).
Don't know if the phone will be available unlocked or only with a contract
i use to buy my phone without any contract

Really on 12th may?
I hope sim free versions will be out on this period, though I will wait for the price to fall and of course the root

I've already ordered mine with Vodafone Spain. They told me I should receive it in 1 or 2 weeks... we'll see...

Vodafone NL said I'd get it week 19, delayed to week 21 now...

in France SFR officially announced the sensation
price will start at 199€ (with cash back of 100€) so 99€ with a contract
it will be sold first online , starting may 12, and one week later in SFR (vodafone) stores
if you want to buy an off contract phone, you will have to wait for mid june
off contract price will be between 529€ 549€.
it seems that the back cover colour will change with country.
The french version will not include HTC watch

Netherlands release date confirmed by Vodafone.nl

Possible from monday 23 Mei.

Greetings from Ulft

VF Germany. 16.May.2011.

I doubt they will release it next week but I hope I am wrong!
The sooner they release it, the sooner the devs will find a way to root it

Here in Belgium it will be released on June 3.

Last rumour i heard was june 8th UK, but i can't remember if that was vodafone or o2, doesn't mean much to me i want sim free.

Delivery 19th May on Vodafone!
Vodafone are aiming to deliver on 19th May!!!
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/htc-sensation?WT.srch=1&cid=ppc-goo-h-c72-10696-ex

So branded models are due between 12 and 19th May, sim free for 8th June as we can conclude.

I wonder if they'll give this to me for free on a £20p/m 12 month plan!

Handtec already published the phone's price

Nice, it's a bit cheaper than the SGSII. Can't wait till this phone is finally going to be released to try it out.

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.
Sent from my HTC Panache using XDA Premium App

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?

Is it sim unlock to use on other carriers if purchase from T-Mobile?

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?

Sim free £530 at phones4u

I went to my phones4u and asked if they have the sensation sim-free. The guy said they can sell it for £530
I compared the the size with the gs2 and the gs2 looks like its the same size but the sensation feels smaller.
I'm really tempted but is it worth the extra £30?
Perhaps I can haggle them =P
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk

I'm guessing that if they have one to sell you now then it will still be vodafone branded as they are exclusive to vodafone until early/mid june... so be careful.
When the unlocked/unbranded versions are available you should expect to get one cheaper than that. Handtec are now taking pre-orders for them at £497.99 inc vat and theirs will be available at the same time as all others selling the unbranded version I guess.

Yes, it is still Vodafone branded, though unlocked...I had them check one in my local Phones4U.
I was going to try a SGS2 but with the news that HTC are reviewing their bootloader policy I will probably wait a bit now!

I guess ill hold out a little bit longer. The 1st of July I believe is the expected date but hopefully it will be sooner!

Go into a store and ask to try one as you're thinking of buying and then if you're happy buy online when available.

You will be able to use it alright as we use the bands as the UK. Not sure whether the website will accept a non Irish credit card or delivery address though.
Who in the UK does not have family in Ireland though..

The unbranded version will be out in about two weeks, I think at this point waiting for that one is worthwhile.

I have a UK Vodafone Sensation and it is SIMFREE, has been so out-of-the-box.
Yesterday I Visited Phones4U in Manchester wanting to buy a unit for someone. We tried it in store and it was LOCKED to Vodafone, worked only with Vodafone SIM.
I guess they were in rush to supply units to the stores on 19th May and had had no time to lock them, but did so for following shipments.

Amazon UK now 29th June.
Why was i stupid enough to believe their provisional date... Past experience should have told me it was gonna be a let down
((((((((

I went to phones4u in London yesterday and was going to get the Sensation with the £35 Vodafone contract.
I asked if I could try my T-Mobile sim it, and it worked, so they let me buy the phone for £529 without the contract.
So my advice is: try it in the store first with your existing sim.

No physical branding on the outside of the phone.
You see the Vodafone logo for literally 2 seconds when you first boot up, and even then it's not the word 'Vodafone', just the logo of the inverted comma which isn't intrusive at all.
There are 3 Vodafone apps installed: 360 Shop, 360 Updates and Music Shop, but obviously you can remove those from the home screen, although I couldn't remove the actual apps themselves.

[Q] What are the chances of getting Sensation on June 8th?

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

The HTC Sensation HAS BEEN RELEASED AT WALMART!
Here in Austin TX, June 8th. I just bought two HTC sensations.
It was not with the other phones on display under glass - but they were in stock behind the display where the keep the inventory locked up.
Their un-released flyer has it on sale for $148.88 each from June 12th - June 19th.
I got one for me and for my wife. $148.88 each.
IT ROCKS!!
The clerk was not sure if he could sell it to me yet.... I got nervous has he started to check--- expecting a big "no you have to wait unit the 12th" BUT.. his system showed the release date as the 8th, and he sold me two of them.!
YEAH ME!

Did you buy them wit a new contract for that price?

Yes,
I bought them with a new contract for $148.88 each.
Switched from AT&T today to get the HTC Sensation.
AND because T-Moble has the WiFi calling capability, where you can use your WiFi connection to make calls, and not use any of you minutes.

That's awesome man im in Houston and haven't found a single one, looks like it might b a road trip!

The Walmart at located 1030 Norwood Park Bd, Austin TX had at least two more HTC sensations when I left this afternoon.

Just got 4 for a family plan at Walmart in Raleigh, NC! Sensationnnnnnn

Very nice, mind doing a quick check for back light bleeding or dust under the screen? this was one of the many reasons i took back my g2x. I kept exchanging hoping hoping for a good one, I felt like I was at the super market shopping for fruit.

None of the Walmarts by me (South Florida) even sell T-Mobile (except prepaid). All of the T-Mobile stores around here claim that Walmart can't be selling the Sensation because "corporate" hasn't released it yet.
What is the retail cost from Walmart?

Retail cost at walmart the guy told me was 599.
I got it for 144 + tax.

I went to a Walmart in Houston and they had it but the $148.88 price is available ONLY if your 2 year contract is up. My contract is not up until Sept so no dice.. close but no cigar. The TMOBILE stores around my house are CLUELESS they gave me a June 18th date and one TMOBILE store even said they would not get for A MONTH. WHY?!?!? TMOBILE FAIL.

ditto!
Was Able to buy one in my local Walmart Super Center in Michigan, soooo Happy with this purchase its a Fantastic phone. Glad to FINALLY have a 4.3" Android phone on T-Mobile. Did I say Finally?? LOL ; D

Today, I was told by the walmart rep that it won't effect my plan. But, I called tmo when I got home and they sad the same thing that if you just do an upgrade then your plan doesn't change.
So far I am very happy with this phone. It is blazing fast. There is not any screen bleeding. I will wait to do a dust test tomorrow under sunshine. I am going to pick another one tomorrow for my other line.
