T-Mobile has announced that the highly anticipated HTC Sensation will hit T-Mobile stores “by” June 15 and will arrive at select Wal-Mart locations on June 12. It will be one of the hottest Google Android phones this summer, packing an impressive laundry list of powerful features and gorgeous construction. Here’s a clip from the press release:
T-Mobile USA, Inc. today announced the upcoming availability of the HTC Sensation 4G. Expected to be available by June 15, and exclusively from T-Mobile, the HTC Sensation 4G is T-Mobile’s most powerful smartphone, delivering the latest Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) operating system with the hallmark HTC Sense experience and lightning-fast speeds with a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon processor paired with access to America’s Largest 4G Network.
“The HTC Sensation 4G defines the perfect balance of power and design. Its dual-core processor and qHD screen place it firmly in the superphone class, but its sleek machined aluminum housing and contoured display give it an in-hand feel unlike any superphone that has come before it,” said Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC Americas.
I was really impressed with the T-Mobile G2x, but I’m more excited by this phone. I’m a big fan of HTC Sense and I’m looking forward to Sense 3.0. The aluminum unibody construction sounds more to my liking than plastic used on the G2x. The bigger screen and higher resolution are also really appealing.
On the downside, it’s curious that the phone only has 1GB of internal storage. This is limiting and doesn’t permit the phone to take full advantage of the ext4 file system used by Gingerbread. The reviews of the European version mentioned that the screen has a nice size and the high resolution makes for great reading, but the color reproduction isn’t the best and the black levels are sub par.
Any of you tempted to pick up the HTC Sensation?
Nah, if anything my next phone would be purchased at the end of the year or the beginning of next year. I saw a boat load of Tmo phones coming out soon that blow the G2x and Sensation out the water.
For now I am beyond content to have the G2x.
Such as??? I haven't heard of anything coming out "soon" that would qualify.
Well maybe "soon" is a little much but I only upgrade once every 2 years lol.
Samsung Hercules
Another G-series phone from HTC
LG Gelato or something like that and a phone from that Huawei company.
I'd be interested in the Hercules (never had a Samsung) and anything HTC.
Yeah, those are Fall or Holiday releases. By then T-Mo will have phones that work with its HSPA+ 42 network, which is very exciting.
On a side note, phones like the Samsung Hercules and Infuse seem like they were made for you and Slickyfats. You giants need a 4.5-inch screen!
