HTC has revealed Ice Cream Sandwich is landing in a matter of weeks. A fistful of HTC Sensations will get the latest version of Android in the next six weeks, with the likes of the HTC Desire HD updating some time this year.
HTC named the phones getting some ICS love on its Facebook page. The HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE will update to Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, before the end of March.
The HTC Sensation XL will follow suit shortly after its sensational siblings.
An Ice Cream Sandwich update is also promised this year for the HTC Evo 3D, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD.
A number of phones that aren't available in the UK are also to be updated, including the Sensation 4G. Here's HTC's full statement:
"HTC has been working hard to get its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades ready, and we're excited to announce that our first round of ICS upgrades will roll out by the end of March for the HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G and HTC Sensation XE, followed soon there after by the HTC Sensation XL.
"In addition, we can confirm Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades will be coming later this year to the HTC Rezound, HTC Vivid, HTC Amaze 4G, HTC Evo 3D, HTC Evo Design 4G, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire S and HTC Desire HD. Stay tuned for more updates on Ice Cream Sandwich releases in the coming weeks."
Exciting stuff for Sensation owners, although with no timescale for updates, owners of other phones could still have a long time to wait. You don't need to tell us Android updates are a hot topic, and that's certainly true for HTC owners: in less than half an hour the Facebook post has racked up 845 Likes and 416 comments.

My desire HD just got the update to 2.3.5 a few months ago and was certain that would be the last. But now HTC say it will get ICS......I'll believe it when I see it.<br />
Funny how the HD and Z were released at the same time yet the Z stays on Gingerbread. If I opted for the keyboard phone I'd be ******

Funny that, I'm a tmobile desire HD customer who is still awaiting Android 2.3.5, does this mean we're missing 2.3.5 out and going straight to 4.0 or (more likely) tmobile will update to 2.3.5 in 1st half of the year and then 4.0 by Xmas 2012 (if we're 'lucky'!) #annoyed

My HD is on T-Mobile, and my work one is on Orange. Both got the update.

Pleased to hear that HTC are staying true to their promises that the HTC Sensation handsets would get the ICS update in early 2012. I purchased my Sensation XE just before the Christmas break and I have to say I couldn't be happier with the handset if I tried - between the high-end hardware and 1.5ghz dual core processor providing a very fast experience and great platform for a business suitable phone (I'm a self employed computer engineer so it's provided a less desk-tied experience than my previous phone) as well as being a fantastic platform for multimedia with 1080p video playback and Beats by Dre headphones both video and audio are amazing. This update can only add to an already stunning piece of design and production on HTC's part. This is my second HTC phone (the first being an o2 XDA handset) - if they can continue providing on their promises as they have in this case, I'm happy to remain a customer!
