The HTC Sensation has now received an official release date for T-Mobile USA. It'll also be the first phone to get a new HTC Listen service.
T-Mobile has given the HTC Sensation a release date at last: June 15 in T-Mobile's retail stores and online (June 12 at select Wal-Mart stores). The Sensation is T-Mobile's most powerful smart phone to date, featuring the latest and greatest HTC Sense experience atop Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It's also one of the first smart phones to be powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor (specs).
Like the recently released ATRIX 4G and Droid X2, the HTC Sensation offers a 4.3-inch qHD capacitive touch screen. It's also got an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with dual LED flash, digital zoom and auto-focus, as well as a front-facing camera and 1080p HD video recorder.
With Wi-Fi Wireless-N connectivity with DLNA support, the Sensation is capable of wirelessly connect to a compatible HDTV or other DLNA device for streaming full HD video content. It also has a range of preloaded applications, including HTC Watch, HTC Listen, T-Mobile TV, T-Mobile Video Chat powered by Qik, and Slacker Radio.
HTC Listen provides a VIP pass to a library of millions of songs, with the option to transfer music purchases to another device or computer. HTC Watch is a library of the latest, premium movies and TV shows available for rent or purchase using progressive download technology (think Silver light-style streaming).
"HTC's history of working with T-Mobile to bring innovative new services to market continues with the HTC Sensation 4G, the first device anywhere to offer HTC Listen, an innovative new mobile music service," says Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC Americas.
The Sensation comes equipped with the latest HTC Sense experience which includes new features and enhancements such as a customizable lock screen, allowing customers to quickly jump to their favorite features and applications with the same gesture typically used to unlock the phone.
The phone also offers access to more than 200,000 applications available on Android Market and integration with Google services such as Gmail, Google Maps with Places and Navigation, You Tube, and more.
Additionally, the HTC Sensation includes essentials such as Microsoft Exchange e-mail, contacts and calendar, social networking, and instant messaging. It also features Trace for easy text input, visual voicemail, a pre-installed 8GB microSD card, built-in 3.5mm headphone jack, Adobe Flash Player support and a music player.
The price has yet to be announced, but we imagine the T-Mobile G2x gives us a clue about the price point - in other words, $200 with a new two-year contract.
