T-Mobile announces a price and release date for the HTC Sensation 4G

Here's a sign of the times for you - neither T-Mobile's press release announcing the release date for its upcoming flagship HTC Sensation 4G or its website bothered to mention how much it'll cost - that news came courtesy of the T-Mobile Twitter account.

$199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, and a two-year "agreement" will get you up and running - and while that might seem a lot, you certainly don't want to be locked in to a two-year contract for anything that isn't at least in the running for best phone on the market.

The phones will be available from certain Walmart stores by June 12, and all T-Mobile stores and online by June 15.

The Sensation 4G will go up against Samsung's Galaxy S2 as king of the Android handsets (for the couple of months before someone announces the next best thing, that is).
