Hell yeah, if anyone is in Atlanta the mansell road walmart in Roswell has them
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
for real?...im on my way there rite now
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
You have to have the ad with you for them to price match
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
yeah, i just realized that lol...and he cant price match agaisnt t-mobile, so ill just have to wait till the 12th to pick one up from t-mobile
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
you can pull an ad up anywhere there is an internet connection.. if not i will just simply return it and walk into a tmo store and get another... im pretty sure they will price match.. its there policy

why cant he price match against tmo? a cash sale is a cash sale.. its not like they are matching sign up (contract) offers..
[HTC Sensation] Jerry1130:
Called around the Orange County area and no stores seem to have it :(
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
he said because they have a contract with t-mobile, so that way they would avoid stuff like this where people try to price match between them..kinda stupid but oh well
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
please forgive my noobness but i have a question.. I had bought an app called tv shows stream (fantastic app), its on my Nexus S. Now the app was pulled from the market last week. It still functions perfect on My nexus, however i cant redownload it from the market.. Anyway to get her over to my sensation
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
if this is true then i will simply return it and buy it at tmo.. no biggie
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
yeah, i aint really trippin..ill just pick it up at t-mobile in a few days

funny story, just talked to the manager at the t-mobile store 2 miles down and dude dint even have a clue of what the price of the sensation was!!! i was like you do know walmart been selling it since yesterday right?, then he got pissed talkin bout oh, they're not supposed to do that..then i told him that another t-mobile store told me i can pick it up on the 12th...he was still pissed talkin bout im selling mine on the 15th..i was like good for you, and i just walked out.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Upload the .apk from you nexus s to dropbox and txt the link to sensation. Then download and install.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
root your nexus s download titanium backup.... do a backup of the app and it's settings then.... wait until we get root for our sensation LOL or extract the apk and side load it to the sensation :confused:
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
yea reps are freakin clueless....
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Have you ever tested that grandfathered plan for a soft data cap? My old $25 plan is still currently uncapped. I go over 5 gb each month, get the text notification and account message, but my speeds never change. My T-Mobile friend said their system shows no cap on my plan even after the notifications. I hit the mark usually with two weeks or a little less left. Try and grandfather that if you can!! I bought my Sensation retail on purpose from Walmart because they were going to try and change my data. Will just return it when T-Mobile has theirs ready on the 15th and they will let me keep my old data plan. It's labeled "required" in their system which means it works for smartphone data required phones.
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
i called tmobile last friday and they said that everything is the same, the only difference is that you will be paying walmart for the phone, instead of tmobile. but you can extend your tmobile contract and everything is the same.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
lol agreed. Post here if they get it. I can get there in 45 minutes... unless a trooper spots me. ;)
[HTC Sensation] k87:
Will the walmart employe discount work if we buy the phone off contract?
[HTC Sensation] :
If you're a Walmart employee, can you even confirm that Walmart allows phone to be bought off contract? Any word on Sensation off contract pricing?
[HTC Sensation] aaronkt:
I spoke to a tmobile rep today. He told me that a soft launch will happen tomorrow, the 8th in the stores that sell the most phones. All other stores will get them on the 15th. He said the best thing to do is to call around to all the tmobile stores in the AM as soon as they open and ask if they have it. The guy seemed like he was on top of his game and really wanted to help.
[HTC Sensation] lilcleo001:
Either way, everyone here will be calling T-Mobile stores tomorrow. I'm in the Los Angeles area. So once the stores open I'll call and post any results.

On a side note, will we be able to pay for the phone in payments like we can on T-Mobile if we get it thru Walmart?
[HTC Sensation] hardstyle123:
Spoke to a friend that works for T-Mobile and he said they have a batch of them in the back and today they pushed back the release date from the 8th to the 15th.

He said they are sending all the phones back to HTC tomorrow due to defective issues. This is at a store downtown D.C.
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
same here im baltimore city... they have the phones but they are returning them all except the demo unit.. played with a demo unit today for a lil bit
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
Good luck with Wal-mart. The few I called had no idea about the phone or the upcoming launch on the 12th.
[HTC Sensation] Flippy125:
Yeah... I called a few stores and the guy didn't even know what the phone was
[HTC Sensation] vetruvet:
Walmart isn't the first place I think of when looking to buy a phone... but if they're getting it first .............

I do wonder, though, if they even offer phones off-contract.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
Target is supposed to have the Sensation 4G on the 12th also
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
I wonder if that would be to unlock the bootloader.

Doesn't matter to me, I'm waiting for the T-Mobile Fathers Day sale ( not sure what the discount will be yet ), I'm hoping it's free phones.
[HTC Sensation] vetruvet:
Do you know if they sell phones off-contract?

If either Walmart or Target do sell them off-contract, I wonder if there will be a significant price difference as opposed to the T-Mobile stores...
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I have no clue if they sell off contract ? But I would rather buy from T-Mobile store off contract because if there is an issue with the phone the return process is easier. Walmart / Target will keep you in line all day and their associates don't know anything about phones LOL
[HTC Sensation] lightforce:
My tmobile store by my house said all phones will be free. But he didn't know if the Sensation would be included. the LG slate wont be he said.
[HTC Sensation] doraemon6688:
Southern California is confirmed to be 6/15 for the release in TMO stores.
[HTC Sensation] mouzaihem:
OP, I'm around the metro Detroit area as well. If your able to get the phone before the 15th let me know :)
[HTC Sensation] desztan:
T-mobile off contact can work with other sim carrier?
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
You have to get it sim unlocked and then it will work on ATT.....but you will get only 2g speeds.
[HTC Sensation] yataf:
What happens if I upgrade it from Walmart and T-Mobile does their father's day sale? Can I just return it and go to T-Mobile and get it? I have a Sensation on hold for me right now, not sure if I should get it cause I don't want to be screwed over if I can't get the Father's day deal anymore.
[HTC Sensation] :
East Meadow, Long Island is sold out....

DAMNNNNNNNNN
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
For people in the Atlanta area. The Wal-mart on LaVista road has Sensations in stock, for 159 I believe. Unfortunately, I can't get one unless I pay full retail. I'm eligible for an upgrade, but I'm not over my 24 month contract so Wal-Mart cannot honor the upgrade that Tmo says I'm eligible for.
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
I know a spot in Long Island that has 3 of them . I will tell you guys after I pick mine up and can confirm it.
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
step by step if anyone has the time ? :) i already have drop box and astro on both phones cant figure out the transfer part though
[HTC Sensation] danog:
thanks, the rest of us cant read either ;)
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Use the dropbox app to upload the .apk which will most likely located "data/apps" the once it's uploaded text/email the drop box link to your sensation. Then download and install.
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
I've tried nearly all of the stores in so cal and they either don't have it, didn't answer the phone, or will probably get more in todays shipment.

Can anyone here confirm any Walmarts in so cal that currently have this phone? One store had it but sold out already, I'm like how the hell do people know about this phone.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Thats the kicker. I can't shell out 600 bux for a new phone. Out of the question, especially with a 2 year old in tow lol.
[HTC Sensation] brian6685:
Also at mansell road walmart. I bought mine there today :)
[HTC Sensation] Daveon93:
Any Las Vegas Walmarts

Selling this phone.
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
yea i wasnt able to find the apps... smh.. i did upload all my other stuff thought. but the apps i could not find.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
I believe you could return it to Walmart before the FD Sale, let's say Saturday. Walmart should have your upgrade eligibility reset and then you should be able to go to a TMo store the next day and get the phone.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
You don't have to. Find a T-Mobile rep who will let you keep the plan. They don't HAVE to make you get a new dataplan if your current data plan is labeled "required". I would guess if you call customer service, 1 out of 5 might do it for you. Store might be even better odds.

This is assuming your old plan is uncapped like mine. That's the main reason I don't want it changed... the price is a minor bonus.
[HTC Sensation] ark2612:
This is not completely true.

I upgraded at Wal-Mart for $148.88 (or whatever it was) and extended my contract out for 2 years. She did NOT touch my data plan and we left it at my $20 BB unlimited package that has been grandfathered in.

I called Customer Service after I left and the first lady told me she would look into grandfathering it, but came back and said because they changed their data plans they couldn't do it. This was obviously BS since we did the same thing for my fiance last August with the Vibrant. I called back and got another rep who just had to transfer me to Customer Loyalty and they put it through. $20 UNLIMITED Android data plan and we still have our great family plan.
[HTC Sensation] nunubutt:
From what I understand the android preferred is still soft-capped at 5 gb.
[HTC Sensation] :
Got mine from Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, NY.... they had two left when I bought mine.
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
I'm on the old $24.99 Android data plan and I have been throttled once. I wonder if it's different than the old G1 data plan?
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
Just stopped by a tmobile store. The guy told me walmart was getting sued for releasing it early LOL. He said it doesn't come out until the 15th. I could see the jealousy in his eyes
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
now that is some funny sheez.. lol
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
Got my sensation and love it. When I went there they had it and display and said 2 other people called about it. And while they were ringing me up for it someone called to check if they and any lol but they told them that theyre not supposed to sell it yet and the guy asked me and I just said "no you guys got it early because you have an exclusive" he fell for it. It was the East York Wal-Mart in York, PA
[HTC Sensation] latteladyla:
If you get it @ Walmart you have 14 days to return it, but you will NOT have an upgrade anymore @ the TMO store. If you want to get it now, pay full price @ Walmart, then see if TMO includes upgrades & the Sensation. If not, you can always go back to Walmart & return it & have them do the upgrade then. (I posted this info earlier today)
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Okay so I was able to pick mine just now. As promised here are the stores.

Wal-Marts in islandia &Centereach long Island both have Sensations for sale.
[HTC Sensation] lilcleo001:
Los Angeles, Ca

Anyone in the Los Angeles area get it yet? One walmart said they were suppose to have them yesterday but won't have them till Monday now.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
How can you not have an upgrade anymore if your return the phone within the 14 days? They have to restore your upgrade status. I know as I returned the G2X thru Amazon and they restored my upgrade status. I now have the Sensation on the same line that I had the G2x and paid the upgrade price - $148.88 for it.
[HTC Sensation] copualt3:
Just got 2 sensation at Walmart supercenter in Santa ana, ca. They have 2 left I think.

Sent from my HTC Flyer P512
[HTC Sensation] makomek:
This thread is going in the wrong direction, I mean common ....can't wait till next Wed? I mean wasting gas driving store after store begging them to sell you a phone or maybe a fight:confused: .i mean I like to get one but not to where I have to go down on my knees with those Walmart dude to buy 1 a little early eh?:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
I don't think anyone is begging the walmart dude LOL
[HTC Sensation] BiGMERF:
i just walked in , asked and got it.. no begging needed
[HTC Sensation] DeFiant*X:
Just got my Sensation from the Walmart near 50 and alafaya in Orlando. Getting great download speeds here! I have the normal bootloader that is locked however. Build date of 5/24.
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
Any proof or are you just tugging at poo.
[HTC Sensation] Tweezydak1d:
If theres anyone in the roseville/Sacramento,ca area this walmart has them, i dont know how many tho.

Walmart Supercenter

900 Pleasant Grove Boulevard, Roseville, CA

(916) 786-6768
[HTC Sensation] drvic71:
Just got one at Walmart in Plano, TX (Coit and Spring Creek). They had 3 left.
[HTC Sensation] absolution8:
Do you know how many of them do they have left?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] jespur629:
As far as the bootloader is concerned, I read something a week ago (sorry don't remember where, I googled htc though) about the locked bootloaders in all recent htc phones. Anyway an htc rep has confirmed that they plan to fix this issue. They just changed their policy so all previously manufactured phones (the sensation) will be released locked, so the tmobile ones next week most likely will be too. Htc just changed their policy last week, and they are working on it. So I'm assuming currently locked phones will receive an ota update at some point. Sorry I don't remember the details exactly because I don't do any of that stuff, I was only looking for new sensation news at the time. But I am positive they changed their policy and plan to fix it.
[HTC Sensation] cmylxgo:
I give up. Found a Walmart an hour outside the city that got 1 in stock. I drove out there and they could not get it activate on my accout. 2 hours and 4 phone calls later i was told it could take 4 hours for Walmarts system to sync with T-Mobile. I finally said everyone one of you are fin morons and have no clue what the f you are doing and walked out. Every single experience with TMobile support has been poor at best. Looks like ill be going EVO 3D route. F Tmobile!
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
LOL that sucks but T-Mobile service is a zillion times better than sprint!!! good luck :D
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Centereach had 3 as of 5pm. Islandia has quite a few. It was also slow there so I doubt it will be soldout.
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
Just picked up one at Walmart Superstore in Altamonte Springs Fl. It was the only one they had. I believe some others in Orlando fl may have some:)
[HTC Sensation] thisguy10:
anyone in Vegas pick on up?
[HTC Sensation] landycog:
sensation verse hd2

to anyone that has a sensation how does it stack up to hd2 running 2.3 gingerbread, is it worth it :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] ksnexusone:
i got wind that some walmart stores had them already so i went to the one in town that had 4 of them and waiting watching for the dumbest person working in electronics. i asked her if they could scan that htc sensation to see if it was in the system. and it was so i said yea, im gonna go ahead and get that now. she didnt say anything. i didnt say anything and i got my new sensation days before i should have so i walked my happy @rse out of that store and didnt say a word or act like no big deal. then i got outside and made a run for the wrx and burned them tires..
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
Radio Shack is selling it on Sunday.
[HTC Sensation] ksnexusone:
yea, i have a HD2 and just got the sensation. yea its worth it. i still love my hd2 and dont think i will be able to get rid of it yet.
[HTC Sensation] jespur629:
All radio shacks or select stores? Anyone heard anything about a walmart in the seattle area having them? Being right here at tmobile's corprate office makes me wonder if tmobile got to them to tell them don't sell.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
HD2 is super old now.... Definitely worth the jump
[HTC Sensation] eyan15:
I had the same feeling when I got the HD7 couple of days before the launch... but by now I actually expect this out of Walmart...
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
The frustrating thing is that my upgrade eligibility is only good at a corp store and they aren't selling yet but one of the phones on my account is pretty much shot. WTF
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Walmart South TX selling them and in stock.

Just got 2 at Walmart Edinburg, TX on South McColl, The South & North McAllen stores are selling them and in stock as well. :D
[HTC Sensation] zoth:
Agree

I agree! HD2 will now be a full pledge GPS Navigation in my car with. CoPilot & Aura Sysgic both legit & not so iGO.

Now waiting for a pure Ginger ROM.
[HTC Sensation] landycog:
thats my feeling also im getting a sensation but i cant let my last hd2 go by no means i had 6 at one time just love flashing them :)
[HTC Sensation] onkolog:
What about bootloader is it locked or unlocked in T-Mobile version?
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Keep your rolling eyes to yourself. all I did was walk into a walmart and buy an item. wow, there goes the neighborhood
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Anyone in california able to pick this up from walmart? If so please tell me I'm trying to get one. And I'm able to get the sensation with the two year contract price on tmobile even though my contract isn't up. This will work at walmart right? Please try to get back as soon as possible. 150 is a amazing deal I don't want to pass up.
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Just got one from San Dimas walmart in California. I like the phone a lot! It was the last one. S-on too.. :(
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
You guys keep saying last one.. don't tell me when they run out of stock the deal is off at that particular walmart..
[HTC Sensation] Pinepig:
Thanks man, if the Fathers day sale doesn't include the Sensation I'll run out there and get them.
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
So.... has anyone actually seen a T-Mo store sell early?
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
You guys think they will sell the sensation for cheap at tmobile for fathers day or only walmart?
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
ok bought it today walmart for 148 bonney lake washington 98391 3 left
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Well just keep calling local walmart stores that's what I did.
[HTC Sensation] jespur629:
I'm sorry, where is bonney lake. I'm in everett actually close to lynnwood. Is it close?
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
its by pullyup washington or auburn if you know where that is

its about a hours drive from seattle
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
I finally found a walmart in my area that had Sensations in stock. I go to buy the damn thing full price and BAM, my debit card won't approve the transaction. Totally unexpected. Any ideas why? I buy expensive electronics all the time; iPad 2, Motorola Xoom, G2x, myTouch 4G, etc. Kinda pissed me off because it was a far drive and I've NEVER had this happen before.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
might want to call the bank or use it as credit instead of debit?
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
I'm going to call first thing in the morning. I don't even own a credit card lol.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
with most bank cards u can use it as credit or debit....ur bank card have visa/mastercard logo? if ur daily withdrawal limit from an atm machine is 500$ then u can't use ur pin# for a 600$ purchase... in theory i guess
[HTC Sensation] kd78:
I am getting some pretty crappy "4g" speeds on mine...especially compared to my verizon lte hotspot which is SUPER quick in most the cities I have tested it.

I am only getting about 1.5mbps down and .6 up.
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
If I buy the Sensation for full price would I be able to price match once T-Mobile officially releases the phone for cheaper?
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
Same here, 4G is slow most of the time
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I just ran speed test 8.26Mbps download and 2.68Mbps upload...it's currently raining outside so I don't know if that matters LOL
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
I'd double check the actual results in the results tab because I hit around 8mbps and when I went to the results tab it was actually around 6mbps
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
A debit card is just like writing a check, only more instant access to your account. If you have the funds it should go through. There are some security mechanisms in place that will stop what appear to be fraudulent transactions. Best thing would be to call the number on the card and find out what happened.

I had a kid in a hardware store cut my card in half one time. Total mistake by the bank that flagged the card as stolen. REALLY pissed me off, but mistakes do happen.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
nah, i tried doing that today but dude wouldn't let me since they have a contract with t-mobile avoiding people to price match against them two..so i dint buy mine not paying over 600 for a phone when i can wait a few more days and get it for less than dat...
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
I live in los angeles.. I guess no walmarts around here have the sensation in stock. Very aggrivating.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Just called our local Costco - they will be getting it on Monday - the 13th.

Which means that I will be getting it on Monday - the 13th ;)

Not sure about the pricing with and without contract, as I really didnt care enough to ask - I just need a working phone.

Which means I need to get rid of my G2x ;) Piece of Crap phone...
[HTC Sensation] bwilliams1:
Walmart in Reno Nevada has one left, this is the Wal-Mart on 7th st oh yes I bought two
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
How much is costco selling sensation for?
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
Read carefully ;)
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
he just said he didn't ask LOL
[HTC Sensation] Shaquiel Harris:
Didn't read that at all lol thanks. Reading from my vision so relax children. And there wasn't no need for 2 people to tell me the same thing.
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
No problem buddy :D Its just cause we replied at the same time haha.
[HTC Sensation] ChrisAC84:
hey, I am relaxed. We must have posted at the same time
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
I think this app is retarded because this download speed isn't possible.... :confused: 55.36Mbps LOL think the decimal point is confused...
[HTC Sensation] t0ny0:
And we pretty much keep doing it over and over again ;)
[HTC Sensation] mcp2009:
Lol yea. I just got "22.38mbps" down. Went to results tab and it was actually 7mbps down
[HTC Sensation] williambs:
It is for sale at our local Walmart for $148.88 with an upgrade 2 year contract.

I looked at it myself...they still ahve them locked up in the cabinet under the counter, a friend of mine let me look at it. Seh said I could buy it today, June 9th.

So, yes it is available.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
:confused: a few hundred people bought them yesterday as mentioned in this thread already :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
Sure did
[HTC Sensation] jarretth:
For those in SoCal,

I stopped by the Walmart in Van Nuys(on Van Nuys and Roscoe) a couple hours ago. They had them in stock. I was trying to purchase one with a new contract but apparently I'm a FlexPay customer so I couldn't. :mad:

I'm on an Even More Plus plan. The computer said I wasn't a "supported customer type" or something. So I couldn't purchase. As I was leaving a guy walked up behind me and asked for the phone. Not sure if any are left.

Is there any way around this FlexPay issue? I'm dying for this phone! :(
