Vodafone, Three to offer hyped-up HTC handset

'Multimedia superphone', apparently

HTC's latest Android phone, the modestly named Sensation, will be coming to Vodafone first, but that didn't stop Three chipping in to say it will be offering the video-centric handset too.

The Sensation is described by HTC as a "multimedia superphone" - clearly, the handset maker's self-deprecation knows no bounds. Perhaps HTC stands for 'Hyped-up Talker Corporation' these days...

It features a 4.3in screen, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a camera capable of shooting 1080p video.

Your home movies can be relayed to a telly using the Sensation's HDMI output.

Neither Vodafone nor Three said when they will sell the Sensation, or what it'll cost when they do. We'll let you know as soon as we hear. ®
