New Android phone from HTC, targetted primarily at women, was announced yesterday.
I like the look of this - decent specs and a range of useful accessories:

There is a ROM for Desire S, Desire Z, Desire HD which includes Sense 3.5 on the XDA dev website,. I have installed in on a Desire S it but I prefer Sense 3 so reverted back to another custom ROM.
I've had two HTC phones, both of which I'm forever uninstalling new apps or trying to move them to the SD Card because there's not enough internal storage.
Why not just move some to the SD card. Any version of Android from 2.2 onward should have the ability to do that. I've got a tiny amount of memory in my Hero so I just move stuff to card. It's very rare that I'm running so many apps at the same time that there isn't space for them all in internal.
I was just impressed by the accessories - armband for use in the gym, Bluetooth headset or speaker for the car, and the little dock that turns it into an alarm clock!
It's an O2 exclusive on contracts, but the SIM free version should be released at the same time, i.e. the end of the first week of October.

Is there no official update you can download from HTC's website?
Im not to sure.

That is going to sound almost hysterically bad. Anyone who genuinely thinks that the Beats audio is any good is only interesting in wuffly loose bass. The sound is diabolical, its purely a marketing machine.
There is an official HTC leaked Desire S ROM with Sense 3.0 on the XDA Developers website. If its leaked, it may mean an OTA update from HTC is on the cards in the future.
Thanks for the info. My desire s downloaded some sort of software update the night but it was nothing to do with the HTC Sense.

Not that bothered about the Beats Audio, it's the rest of the specs that are interesting. I think you'll find the Beats will be added to all new phones in the future as they have paid a fortune for it.
Anyway, the reviews I've seen on Youtube all say its great, so I'll reserve judgement until I've heard it.
HTC Runnymede/Bass is now called HTC Sensation XL. Confused? You betcha!
HTC Sensation - original
HTC Sensation XE - souped up original with Beats Audio
HTC Sensation XL - formerly HTC Runnymede/Bass with 4.7inch screen and Beats Audio
Seems they're trying to position the Sensation as a brand, same as they did with the Desire.

LOL... So confusing! So like the Desire HD when that came out and looked nothing like the Desire or it's newer Desire S. I'll keep an eye on the Sensation XL then!
May be a good bit of kit bar the audio side; Beats audio is not famed for its quality, just for its bass. Lots of bass.
