Anyone know when they will have them available sim-free?
On their website, they have it only on contracts and should behere within the next few days. I went to the shops and they have no idea when they will have it....

I haven't, I've got a Vodafone unit. I'm just betting a tenner that that's the version it ships with. Paul O'Brien got that on his review model (which was also S-OFF)

Lets see and hope you are right...
Paul has kept very quiet with the sensation he has on hand and also about the bootloader...
He probably is under NDA.
Lets see what the WWE version brings us
They're technically not called WWE any more - HTC now show it as 'Europe' and use vendor code x.xx.401.x as opposed x.xx.405.x on older units

Maybe, but the Samsung screen is gorgeous and that's coming from an iPhone 4 user. I know the sensation has a qhd screen, but the super amoled plus is impressive.
I just want to get my hands on a sensation. Am soooo impatient!
I thought the release date was the 18th.
Have just spoken to them on the phone and Vodafone aren't getting them until the 18th and may not dispatch until 19th was the message I just got????
Yes, the UK Vodafone website says:
Pre-order yours today and we will aim to deliver your order by the 19th May
Click to expand...

Ahh fcuk it !!!!!
Thought we would get some action today.
Was under assumption that u could walk into VF store amd just buy it today
Another week of waiting.
This and the thought of a nexus 3 at xmas
My head really hurts.....
Think I'll just buy a Nexus 3 (providing it's good) at Christmas. I mean, we know the software will be good...but the hardware is a different matter altogether (especially if it's by LG )
Can't wait until we get some real good user reviews of the Sensation
The VF UK website always said "Expect to receive your device around 19th May"
Pre-ordered mine, so hoping to get one soon! Should get an email day of dispatch.

That's what I am hoping too. Also I believe that if anything goes wrong with the handset you can just take it back to the store rather than sending it back?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think with orange you have to send the handset back if you get it online. O2 told me that after the first 30 days I can go instore. Not sure about the other networks.

Hello, my first post, awaiting delivery of the eagerly anticipated handset.
Just to let UK owners know, the HTC Sensation is now available to order on o2.
Thanks
I wonder how bad their branding is? I know they've got a later ROM than Vodafone
really, i didnt know that!!! what is missing or late about it?
Later as in newer. The Vodafone ROM is 1.27 whereas the o2 one is 1.34 so should have some bug fixes in it
ahh, i see, soryy for the confusing myself there.
any one out there who has a handset from o2? does it come with the S-OFF?
mine is at home charging whilst im at work
My 2p is to say it'll be S-ON but I might be wrong. Vodafone ones are S-ON
I've had my Sensation on pre-order since May through buymobilephones.net (21.50 pm contract) and £80 for the phone.
Mobiles are charging £220 for the phone on the same contract.
I just hope they deliver...
I'm getting mine tomorrow too (in theory at least!) - will update!

I quoted O2 the same deal over the phone and the best they could match without me bartering too much was £102 for the phone. Which to be honest, after 30 mins on hold I was ok with. It's been shipped, hopefully arrive tomorrow.

Hi,
Is there any branding on the phone?
Thanks.
No branding at all.
So far, very impressed. Apart from when sense decides to 'not respond' so a quick 'on and off' does the trick.

What ROM version you running?
I got my dispatch notice from buymobilephones.net today for my Sensation. Fingers crossed i get a good one and not one plagued with problems that i have been reading about over the last few days!
It's running the 1.34.206.1
Is that right?

Anyone from UK?
I am interested in bootloader version, Rom Version and any new observations regarding screen brand, date of manufacture and so on.
Thanks
They're on sale over here (UK) from the 27th, although I think some of the online mobile places are supplying the SIM-free units on new contracts

HandTec and KingOfGadgets have the WWE Sim-Free versions in stock today (22nd June).
I made a pre-order with KingOfGadgets awhile back, and in fact my HTC Sensation is now in the post and should arrive in 2-3 working days.
I will report back here my bootloader details when I receive my HTC Sensation - it will be the first thing I'll check for!

Thanks mate. That will be great
Ok so I got HTC sensation today... They say 2-3 days delivery but I got it next day and delivery was free
Anyways it is s-on, may 13th.
Although I should say the screen is fantastic, the colours are rich and it has very good viewing angles.
Unless you absolutely need root now, don't worry about not getting an s-off device. Theoretically speaking, if the HTC sensation never got s-off then the custom ROM cooking would never really take off, developers would bother less if they were developing for just 1% of users that have factory s-off. So don't worry, s-off will come, HTC have said it themselves

What is the significance of WWE?
I am assuming that this is an S-OFF radio version of the sensation?
If so is there a certain date beyond which is WWE?
When I first saw this post I thought WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) had released some custom skinned version of the phone.
Spreading the news, Gear VR is available for pre-order from Samsung, Amazon and Best Buy.
Release date is November 20th in the US.
Here are the links
Amazon
Best Buy
Samsung
Yes I saw this however, I was reading up on Amazon and it seems like the devices will need to get a software update for this to work.
Can someone please confirm?
I am based in the UK and may be able to source this from the UK, however not sure when my software update will come through.
Will I not be able to use this at all without the update?

Tatoo069sv.. so its now apparently launched in the UK as well. I came across this article yesterday.
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-12/02/gear-vr-uk-launch
Its only available directly from Samsung before it goes out to 02 as a reseller.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...r/SM-R322NZWABTU?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000946
As you can imagine, a lot of people may have been waiting for this here and immediately ordered it so its out of stock now.
I have put an web page change alert via email to let me know if the stock status changes.

Nobnut.. good one mate. I envy you.
I have been waiting for over 2 years for this. The few things I want to do
1. Watch movies and TV in bed. There is a side by side android player that you can play videos with.. you can do that for local files on the mobile or you can use ES file explorer to browse to network files and play with that player.
2. I ordered a Kula Deeper kickstarter lens adapter so I can take 3d picture with my DSLR, want to use this for that purpose.
3. With the headset on, check out augmented reality. Switch the camera on and walk around with it turned on with overlaying data (think terminator)
4. Show off.
Gaming isnt really me.. I plan to use it for only the above stuff.
I'm going to order one but don't when they going to ship those out. I'll be away for two weeks and don't want mine to come around that time.
