As T-Mobile stated earlier in the month, the HTC Sensation 4G & HTC Amaze 4G will be receiving Ice Cream Sandwich. Starting May 16th Sensation 4G owners will be able to update their Sensation 4G to the newest Android update. Users will be able to update manually or with an OTA update. If you are not looking to wait for the update the quickest way to officially get Ice Cream Sandwich is to download it from T-Mobile/HTC. The OTA will more than likely roll out in waves, so if you're not part of the first group then a manual update will be the quickest option.

The Ice Cream Sandwich update for the HTC Amaze 4G will be available in the "coming weeks.” With the update of the Vivid and now the HTC Sensation having come to pass, there's no reason to believe that the Amaze 4G should not be far behind. This is great news for users that are using stock HTC devices. However, if you can't wait or you need root check out the HTC Sensation 4G Forum and HTC Amaze 4G leaked ICS build.

Those that own the HTC Sensation 4G or Amaze 4G, are you excited about the Official update or are you running a leaked version? It is great to see "older" devices being updated by the manufacture to the newest version of Android even after the release of two popular devices in the HTC One X & HTC One S. I hope that more manufactures follow suit. Everything you need to know about the updates from links, features, and how-to can be found below.
