Unlocked (what's this?)
What is an "Unlocked" phone?
Many cell phones are designed to use a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card to store subscriber data. These SIM cards are issued by the carrier and provide cell service to the phone. "Locked" cell phones will only recognize SIM cards from the carrier that originally provided the phone. Almost every cell phone provided by a US carrier is locked to that carrier’s network.
"Unlocked" cell phones will recognize SIM cards from any carrier using Global System Mobile Communications (GSM) technology. Customers with "unlocked" cell phones are able to use any GSM carrier of their choosing, including "pre-pay" or "no contract" SIM card options. "Unlocked" cell phones also accept international SIM cards that provide discounted rates while traveling abroad.

The HTC Sensation also includes an immersive HTC Sense experience making this phone easy-to-use and a top entertainer.

Premium design
HTC Sensation features unibody aluminium construction for a premium look and solid feel. The glass is contoured along the entire edge of the screen.

The dual core performance really comes to life when pushing your phone to its limits, like when you're listening to music, downloading email in the background, and surfing the most visually rich websites all at the same time.

HTC Sensation - Yes it is!
Had the phone for a month now, and its fantastic. 2nd HTC phone and verry happy with it. Pinsharp display, great camera/video. Must admit that battery life has not been much of a problem, and I do have wifi constantly on, but not the GPS (which is always a heavy drain on ANY phone). Holds signal well, even in weak areas, and sound is crystal clear. I would highly recommend this phone to any one.

Awesome!
Only had the HTC Sensation a few days now and I am very impressed. Very powerful and very fast. You hear people complain about the battery power, well yes it does need charging more regularly but that is because you will be using it all the time. Never thought I would say that but it is true, from checking mail to browsing the internet it is a joy to use. As with all smartphones just make sure to get a car charger too.

HTC Sensation
I love this phone. It's really quick and responsive. It took my few days to get used to the touchscreen but it's slowly becoming my second nature.
