14 DAY TRIAL // Although Bell already confirmed that the HTC Sensation would hit shelves on July 5, it appears that Canadian customers eager to get their hands on the smartphone can now pre-order it.
Major retailer The Source is now taking pre-orders for the HTC Sensation, which is priced at $549.99.
Obviously, the handset won't be shipped earlier than July 5, but at least potential customers will be able to secure their Sensation devices in case Bell's stock will deplete too fast.
As the retailer states on the phone's webpage, HTC Sensation is available for pre-order only online, which saves customers from taking a trip to the nearest The Source store.
However, Bell will be offering the Sensation for much less if customers opt for a multi-year agreement.
Rumors point to a possible price of only $149.99 with a new three-year agreement, while Virgin Mobile is expected to offer the HTC Sensation for around $500 off-contract.
The Android-based smartphone for the HTC high-end lineup, HTC Sensation, truly delivers a complete sensory experience, providing the most immersive HTC Sense experience.
The phone's premium, sleek design is built with contoured glass for a smoother feel and for better defense against sand and dirt when faced down on a table or other surface.
HTC Sensation comes with a large 4.3-inch widescreen qHD S-LCD capacitive touchscreen with 16 million colors support and 540 x 960 pixels resolution.
Equipped with a powerful dual-core Qualcomm MSM 8260 Snapdragon processor clocked at 1.2GHz speed, the Sensation really shines when it comes to business.
Furthermore, the phone is powered by Google's Android 2.3 operating system, which offers a smooth and fast performance while surfing the Web, listening to music, downloading, or switching between apps.
It packs 1GB of internal memory, 768MB RAM, as well as microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
With the HTC Watch on-demand application, the Sensation is able to provide users with a visually engaging movie library where they can browse the latest movie releases and watch them instantly on their phone.
UPDATE: Best Buy has just confirmed the 3-year contract price for Bell's HTC Sensation , which is $149.99.
