Vodafone stole a commercial march with the HTC Sensation when it secured a temporary exclusive marketing period for the HTC Sensation .. one of the hottest phone releases of 2011

However, after a temporary exclusive on the Vodafone Network, the HTC Sensation is set to become available on Sim-Free (Outright purchase without contract) from electronics retailers or via contract on other networks.

What is special about the HTC Sensation

Running on Android 2.2 (Froyo) with the very latest HTC Sense user interface, coupled with a rare Dual-Processor, the HTC Sensation is a snappy device.

HTC believes that the usability is key and fills almost the whole phone with its 4.3 inch Gorilla Glass display to provide a very clear qHD (Quarter HD) display. When you imagine that a 50 inch HD Plasma display only has 4 times as many pixels, then you begin to understand how clear and sharp the HTC Sensation is
