HTC announces first wave of devices receiving Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

HTC has finally revealed the list of smart phones that will be getting Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade via Facebook. The first wave of devices that will get the upgrade are:

• HTC Sensation
• HTC Sensation XE
• HTC Sensation XL
• HTC EVO 3D
• HTC Rezound
• HTC EVO Design 4G
• HTC Amaze 4G

Obviously the last 3 devices are US exclusive only due to CDMA radio or telco tie up.

The roll out is mentioned to start as early 2012 with no specific dates provided. While it is good that HTC has shed some light on the upgrades, we are disappointed that they didn’t include a wider range of models such as HTC Desire S, Incredible S or even the recent HTC Rhyme. Perhaps they will be rolled out in the 2nd wave just as what they have practised with previous generation smart phones.
