I believe it depends on the supplier you're gonna get it from.

For example? Can you expand on your answer please?

There are two versions of the Sensation.
The Z710a and the Z710e. Make sure you are getting the one that you need.

I see, not sure where i should look to now... I use giffgaff which runs on the 02 lines in the Uk, so I need to find out what model is compatible with their lines, right?

If you buy it from an individual store, it would work anywere, but if you buy it from T-Mobile, it will work for only T-Mobile SIM cards unless you get the unlock code from them.
My Sensation was from Saudi Arabia, from a normal store, and it worked in Egypt without any problems.

HTC Sensation vs HTC Sensation 4G
The 4G mobile doesn't seem to support the real 4G talking about the internal radio. Look at the frequencies, they are almost the same just an extra one which is only available in Canada (as mentioned in GSM Arena). I believe the internet speed is almost the same on both phones.
The real difference to me seems to be in the Internal Storage, which is 4gb in Sensation 4g (Z710a) and only 1gb in the first Sensation (Z710e).
Good luck with your search xD

Edit2: AT&T and T-Mobile consider HSPA+ as 4G which obviously is supported by Sensation 4G. Now I'm confused hahah

No. They both have 4GB with only 1GB usable.
