The XE version comes with 8GB. Not so sure how fast it will fill up.

Will see how long the battery can last when I bring it to work tomorrow. Didn't use it today as still getting used to it.

Bout the Beats headphones, my bro says that when used with the XE the headphones sounds better than when it is plugged into his laptop. So I think there is some software inside the XE to make it sound better. The headphones also comes with ear plugs (correct term?) of various sizes to suit how big your ear is.

Had a little problem yesterday when the XE could not detect Wifi in my house rclxub.gif but can see my neighbors wifi rclxub.gif Nonetheless since I got data plan it is not a major problem. Not the phone's fault I think since my dad's laptop also have the problem once doh.gif

I tried the google search using the voice commands. The results are hilarious as well as insanely stupid when places with malay names are said. In fact I soon realized it would be hopeless when the XE said that it will work in "English (Generic)" instead "English (Malaysia)" when I started up the google voice search.

Some examples:
Lowyat become "lol yah" doh.gif
Subang Jaya comes out with "sabancaya", "vagina", "bulgaria", "yeah yeah", "gaia". Really, try it!

But when it comes to American locations and commands it excels such as Macdonalds, Gas station, hotel, New York, directions from San Francisco to New York etc.

Oh, forget about "directions from Adelaide to Melbourne" too. Adelaide became "a deal late", something like that doh.gif

Bout battery life, I am shocked to see that the display uses up to 93% to 85% of the battery power shocking.gif Maybe coz I just keep playing with internet, apps and google maps.

Bought the phone few days ago and it was GB 2.3.3 ( 1.28.707.2 ). When I switch it on, I was prompted to update it to 1.35.707.1 which I did
Today I have just finished reading V2 of this thread and have downloaded all the necessary files to root/flash ARHD 3.6.2 XE - was thinking of doing it tomorrow. But an hour ago,  was prompted to update software to 2.3.4 ( 1.45.707.1) . Well I have updated it and will hold on the upgrade to cook rom for the time being
After few days using the phone, the only thing that I find disappointing was the UI in menu of the apps  - the scrolling is not smooth at all - and is slight jerky - I'd rate it a 5 against a 10 for the Galaxy S II

Gratz on V3. Just sharing. I only knew it a couple days ago that you can scroll with 2 fingers to quick scroll in any list. smile.gif
Try it. It works in Music, Gallery, Contacts, Menu (List View). biggrin.gif

You can always use clockworkmod recovery to do a nandroid backup

Is not XE model.
So far quite happy with it and is comparable with SGS II. Overall I would rate it a 9.5 vs a 10 for SGS II.
Yes will try some cook roms probably few days time. Now on stock 2.3.4 ver 1.45.707.1

You cannot compare to SGS2. Sensation has higher resolution qHD. In any situation, the lower resolution will let you scroll faster.

Well I don't think the resolution affects the scrolling. The scrolling speed and jerkiness in the htc Sensation is similar to my previous HTC Flyer. My previous HTC Incredible S has no such jerky scrolling - is very much smoother than the Sensation. . And the htc Sensation resolution , just like my previous Motorola Atrix ( similar resolution ) I find is no big deal - it is not that obvious much better than the SGS II
