Price & Availability
The HTC Sensation XE handset will will be available in EMEA and Asian-Pacific regions by the end of this month at an unknown price point.
Ah the HTC Sensation XE looks so sleek! I love that HTC has the Beats feature on this phone along with speeding it up. Along with awesome music hardware, there are also feature such as 4G and a dual-core processor that will make downloading movies and streaming music a snap! The app that I use to stream movies would be the DISH Remote Access app. I love this app because it lets me stream live TV from my 922 SlingLoaded receiver to my phone anywhere I am! As a customer and employee of DISH Network, I have been using the app for a long time, and I know it would do wonders on the Sensation XE! Hopefully it doesn’t take too long to get to the US!
