Latest news from HTC is that they will be sending out the new Sense 5 to the HOX. So good news for us HOX users, although it is noted that it may not be as full featured as the new HTC One's version.

While it's certainly exciting to get a software update, I might be a bit hesitant to upgrade my phone, as I don't want to be forced into having BlinkFeed as my home screen. It's a nice feature, but I don't necessarily need that front & center. I prefer the traditional Android home screen concept. Does anyone know if it lets you stick with the traditional home screens in lieu of BlinkFeed?

I would imagine that if you introduced a 3rd party launcher it would render blinkfeed dead. So you would get the traditional home screen that you want.
