At an event in London today, HTC unveiled the new Sensation 4G Android handset for T-Mobile. The Sensation 4G uses the latest generation SnapDragon processor from Qualcomm, which runs two cores at 1.2GHz. The Sensation 4G offers a 4.3-inch Super LCD qHD display with 540 x 960 pixels and slightly curved glass near the edges. The Sensation runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread with the newest version of HTC's Sense user interface overlay with the new unlock screen, and includes an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and 1080p HD video capture, as well as a user-facing camera for video chatting and video trimming. The Sensation 4G will ship with HTC's new Watch service on board, which lets users rent or buy movies directly from the handset (credit card required). Rented movies are streamed, and purchased movies can be played on up to five other HTC devices. It includes the new HML USB standard, which supports HDMI-out through the microUSB port. It also includes support for T-Mobile's "4G" network (though only at 14.4Mbps), Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0 and support for microSD cards up to 32GB.The Sensation 4G will become available from T-Mobile this summer for an unspecified price.

Why bother with a new T-Mobile device?
No way would I make an investment in a new T-Mobile device since T-Mobile will cease to exist. How will I know that this (or any) new T-Mobile device will work on AT&T's 3G/4G network? I don't to be stuck with an Android powered paperweight or be forced to switch to an AT&T device on a more expensive rate plan with a data cap.
Forced to switch is right. That was done in all its glory back in 2004 when Cingular took over the old AT&T Wireless.
More expensive rate plans too. They would not grandfather over any plans either.
De La Vegas Cingular is the same devil with a dif...

Well first of all its going to be at least a year before the Att takes over t-mobile. After that its not going to be an overnight switch. You're prolly looking at about another year before anything changes with the 3g/4g spectrum that t-mobile is curr...

They should at least come forward with a Quad and/or Pentaband 3g device. Then it would be a different story. Nokia and RIM figured it out, no reason why HTC and others couldn't.
As long as this is a quad band 3G phone you will have no problem when/if this merger takes place. The problem will be when at&t-mobile create a LTE network then you will most likely need to buy a new phone. Exactly like Verizon now. only one phone can...

STILL waiting for a smartphone with these specs but with a real keyboard
Damn! ! ! All these new smartphones being announced with dual-core processors, and qHD displays but none with real, physical, slideout keyboards. This really ercks me! ! ! ! !
There is still a real keyboard crowd out there.
I have mixed feelings on this Jay. A year ago, I would have strongly agreed with you. I have always sworn by having an actual keyboard. Getting info and emails to my office as fast as I can is crucial.
Since I have owned the Evo, my typing has dra...
