Sensational news -- the HTC Sensation is coming to Three. The Sensation will only be available to Vodafone customers when it launches in mid-May, but Three says it will sell the phone "this summer".

Three says it will offer unlimited data with the phone, so you can enjoy Web browsing and data-hungry apps without worrying about crippling bills. Three offers a contract called the One Plan that includes 2,000 minutes and 5,000 texts with all-you-can-use data for around £30 per month.

Three hasn't mentioned a price yet, but the Sensation's long list of features means it probably won't come cheap.

The Sensation has been causing a stir among phone fans today, due to its powerhouse of a processor -- a 1.2GHz, dual-core Snapdragon chip. The phone is stuffed with features, including a 4.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen and an 8-megapixel camera.

To see how the Sensation shapes up compared to other hotly anticipated dual-core phones, we've pitted it against the Samsung Galaxy S 2, LG Optimus 2X and Motorola Atrix in a fight to the death.

Other networks will probably follow in the footsteps of Three's announcement. No exact release date has yet been given from either Vodafone or Three, but keep it Crave and we'll keep you posted.
