We got the date pegged so this one is confirmed — the HTC Sensation (along with the Wildfire S that’s already been sold in stores for weeks now) is set to launch this coming Wednesday, June 15.
This rings true to our earlier report of a June release in the Philippines.
That means you should be seeing units available this week or next week at the latest. Unfortunately, we still don’t have the final suggested retail price of the unit (which means HTC is still figuring out how to price it considering the Galaxy S2 is already priced at Php29,990 and the Optmus 2X at Php27,990).
We’re still optimistic that HTC will take on the challenge and price the HTC Sensation at the same exact SRP as the SGS2 or maybe a bit lower. We’ll definitely get that info by Wednesday (unless of course we get a leak of the price earlier).
Update: Looks like our guess was a bit off. We got word from HTC’s main man himself that the suggested retail price of the HTC Sensation is going to be Php33,000.
I’ve found myself here many times before while searching various things. I appreciate the detailed articles you write, and in some instances this is the ONLY place I can even find them. Cheers
what a hefty price!
wow, its expensive at 33k
For me i’ll choose this over SGS2… The quality of the material and the support that Htc can give was a big factor. I used to have samsung phones but when it comes to quality, s0rry!
I dont need large internal mem0ry since most of the apps that I need aside from the one I want are app2sd supported and for samsung, you need that to install a lot of launchers, sense 3.0 is better.
That’s just me based on my experience with both manufacturer.
