Thats a damn shame Tmobile has to put that ugly damn logo right on the front of the damn phone, put it on the back or something. But enough complaining, this phone is gonna be absolutely stellar and the new and improved htc sense is absolutely terrific, this phone is an instant win

great find!

the box is a little different than the vodafone version, but aside from the logo pretty much the same.

sigh... I knew it was a long shot but was secretly hoping that t-mo would somehow get a bicolor version back

I can't wait! June 8th is taking forever

Anybody know if mobilecityonline is trustworthy? They have the T-Mobile unlocked Sensation 4G for $600. 100 more than I think T-Mobile will have it for but it'd be unlocked...

why order it from a 3rd party online when you can order it directly from tmo on june 8? unlocking it won't be a problem I'm sure

The option for international shipping I think is a big reason.

Aside from the international shipping that Elchemist mentions (I have friends in the US who might be able to bring it to me) I don't know if unlocking is that easy.
Unlockers and repair shops here in Mex tend to be befuddled by foreign phones (one more reason I wish I were back in Canada) and T-Mobile, according to their page, only gives unlock codes to account holders in good standing (45 days postpaid, 60 pre-pay). This leaves the option of online unlocking services which sometimes take a while to appear for new handsets (I don't feel like having a phone for a month which I can't use for calls).

solsearch, an easier way would be to use one of the online unlocking sites and just input the code yourself. Now if only S-Off was available...

yeah I'm curious why tmo went with different packaging as well. it's the same as their version of the hd2

Does anyone know what types of goodies the sensation is coming with? (the contents in the box)

Elchemist · May 24, 2011

what was shown in the link was headphones, charger, USB to microUSB cable and battery.

EDIT:
on closer inspection, the open back shot shows a microSD card of unknown size. The vodafone versione comes with an 8GB card pre-installed in the phone.

OHHHH my bad haha i didnt even notice it said that

Elchemist · May 24, 2011 at 4:50 AM

jgarza1004 · May 24, 2011 at 4:53 AM

Well, first I'm going to see if my uncle is still with T-Mobile as that'd be the easiest/surest way.

As for the packaging I don't really get why people care, vendors, reviewers, etc. sure as it affects appeal, but for those who already decided to buy it? Does it really matter? Worst case scenario you keep the box at the back of some closet or you toss it, it doesn't affect the device (branding on the device is another matter). Too bad branding is on the screen, if it weren't people who really cared could just buy a different back cover.

And it seems it won't come with a microSD card according to that screen shot (the one of the box). Remember that just because the pics show one in the phone it doesn't mean it'll be included, after all whoever is using it probably would want one in there... I'm slightly disappointed but I don't care too much as I'll be buying a 32GB one anyways. I could have used the 8GB one for less used content but 8GB cards are cheap anyways.

But I think I am definitely getting the T-Mobile US version as it kind of seems like kismet. My birthday's on the 9th and if I'm really lucky I can have this prezzie for myself on that day

I hope mobiTv, telenav and some other useless apps will not be preloaded. Also hope it will have tethering option right out of the box like G2x and G2. The greatest feature of tmous, wifi caling should be there but just worried about the battery when it comes to wifi calling. It seems to kill battery very quick on my Vibrant and it was also battery hog on G2x. Still very excited for june 8th though!

Edit: just saw mobiTV on the box, dang it!... T-mobile we dont want your bloatcrap on the phone!

I have purchased almost every HTC android device for t-mobile and they have always included a microsd card...

That's good. I just assumed it wouldn't be as it isn't mentioned in the "What's Inside" part (I figured they'd mention it even if not the size).
