At today’s HTC press event in London, the company is apparently announcing more than hardware since it has also unveiled an online enhancement of the Sense experience in the form of HTCSense.com. The website is a series of connected services for security, backup and remote control of your HTC device. In case a phone is stolen or lost, users can both lock and/or wipe the device via HTCSense.com. Another feature of the site is that it can help you find a misplaced phone by making it ring loudly, even when the silent mode is activated, and show its location on an online map.
The online service will also let you automatically backup text messages, call history, contacts, data and customizations. Furthermore, HTC is including multimedia features that let us capture, upload and share visual content. The company is also adding real-time filters for picture manipulation and vintage effects.
Are you as excited about HTCSense.com as I am? Hopefully these new services will eventually be available for current HTC devices as well, and not only for the phones that have been announced today at the London event.

So, does anyone know when the site will go live? I tried htcsense.com and all I get is a box for a user name and password, like it's the control panel for the site…
Same here getting prompted for a logon id and password. Sounds like HTC have taken a good look at https://www.mylookout.com/ which does all the same minus the wipe feature for the moment.
Sounds like a good idea. I'd have liked to have the site ready for the public the day of the announcement though.
any idea if it will break a rooted phone??
They should have a site just for getting acquainted with HTC Sense. If they are using a login then you have to have the one of there phones to access this site. It would be nice to have a hands on interactive site to explore the new HTC Sense. Sound great, when are the new phones with duo-CPU's coming to Verizon?
Thats fantastic news! An official solution for security, backup etc, I've been a little hesitant to install third party applications to my Desire and being able to backup my messages is a bonus not that Id thought about it before mind you. My recent post o2 Android Blunders
