HTCSense.com Announcement

In addition to the announcement of the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z and the London event today, HTC managed unveiled a new cloud-based service for HTC Sense phones that will feature some cool options:

  • A locate feature that allows you to remotely ring your phone, even if it is set to vibrate 
  • Remote lock and wipe if you have your phone stolen or lost
  • Backups for contacts, call history, data, customizations, and even text messages
  • Sharing and editing for multimedia content (read: pictures and video shot on your phone)
  • Send messages from your computer to the lock screen of your phone

One would assume HTCSense.com would launch alongside the Desire HD and Desire Z, but HTC gave no firm date or word on if existing Sense phones would see an update to let them access these features. I am sure many Droid Incredible, Evo 4G, Aria, Desire, and Wildfire owners out there would love to have access to all of that cloud-based goodness, so we will keep our eyes peeled for any news on that front.

OnePlus 8T review: Striking the perfect balance

The OnePlus 8T shares a similar foundation as the OnePlus 8, but offers exciting upgrades in the form of 65W wired charging and a 120Hz AMOLED display. With Android 11 out of the box, four cameras at the back, and an interesting new design, it is the upgrade you've been waiting for.
