AT&T has announced that it will be the exclusive carrier for the Sony S2 tablet, with the Honeycomb slate using the 4G HSPA+ network. The S2, lest you forget, is the more unusual of Sony's tablet pair, with dual 5.5-inch touchscreens in a clamshell form-factor. The news comes as little surprise, given we saw the S2 clear through the FCC with an AT&T-compatible HSPA+ modem back in early June.

T-Mobile Sensation 4G Review
The approach of the T-Mobile Sensation 4G may have been keeping Android fans awake at night, but I wasn’t one of them. I have to admit, I haven’t been feeling HTC’s recent handsets. Sure, they’re well made and reliable, but it also felt like the company had taken a cookie-cutter approach, churning out little-changed me-too phones across the carriers. HTC’s – since moderated – attitude towards bootloader locking didn’t help. More importantly, I’ve been using an imported Samsung Galaxy S II and fell in love with the smoking fast dual-core, slim and light build, brilliant Super AMOLED Plus display and excellent camera. For me, the GSII was the phone to have right now; could the Sensation 4G convince me otherwise?
