I found a powerskin cover for $45 last week and decided to buy it, so far I've only been able to get about an extra 8 hours from the extra battery, but I'm hoping that after a few more charges it will get better. It's about the same size as the mugen battery and door, but is removable, and protective. The piece hanging out of the left side of the phone sucks but I am getting used to it. I'll report back if the battery life gets better.

So the extended battery lasted from 8am-until now. 9.5 hours on It's third charge. This is with arhd 3.6.0 with faux 1.9 kernel. Brightness at 40% and WiFi connected the entire time.
The power skin is always used first and will charge the oem batt if connected at a later time. So far it seems to perform about as stated by the company.

It's a great accessory if u don't mind the side bulk....
I find the anker to be more suitable plus no changes cosmetically to the device..
I'm testing out a chichi now

So far, the side hasn't bothered me. I hold the phone in my right hand and text with swype, only issue I have is the silicone sticking to my pockets when I try to get the phone out. Had the same issue with a standard soft case too.

Is this the only power skin you know of? Overall would you say it made a difference i'm a heavy user of internet and apps so any extra cordless time would be great. Could you post a link of where you purchased this.. Thanks

It does make a difference. I have only been using the phone lightly today and am still on the extended battery. So far from 8am-7pm. No WiFi use today only radio between edge and 4g all day. This is the only one I have been able to find and cost ranges from 40-70 online. The link is in post 3.

Thanks man, having a sensation is awesome but watching some Samsung users using there phones twice as long makes me think twice about buying an htc next time. Other than that and the screen color density, we got them beat.

Also A Jays One+ work with android as well, but haven't tried them. I heard mixed reviews on them. A Jays have a great android app for free from the market that can be used with most headsets that can control and map functions like volume control. I use the app with my ibeats buds that came with the HTC Rezound.
So as a software tester I have had this for 5 days the T-Mobile Hurcules Aka GS2 I will be keeping my Sensation over this device I have pics to clear up all your wonders of the cpu and specs and by far the T-Mobile version takes the cake Enjoy you are welcome to ask me anything you want about this device as I own it.

What was the point of starting this thread if you are going to wait until the phone is released before you post pics? by then every android blog will have posted pics/comparisons you are probably just an employee who took pics of the damn box but haven't actually opened one.........

Starting this thread is somewhat pointless and you should edit the name because its just a front and back photo of the box....also you should have covered the imei because now someone can call tmobile and get the device blocked from their database.
T-Mobile just got their stock yesterday in my area and u can walk in now and test the device if a employee has it in hand but they won't be on sale till wed/thurs.
By time u decide to do a actual review other people will have the phone.
Thanks anyway......FOR NOTHING.

so.. what is the point of this thread? you dont post any reviews, comparison, not even pics of the phone
From the pic he is clearly sitting in a T-Mobile [email protected] the store on the customer side....but that may mean nothing. Just wanted to point that out. A worker could have just been showing him the device and he snapped photos.
The only people that have this device is the workers and possible bloggers and they aren't dumb enough to post the imei before release or even after.
The only tmo device that leaked before actual selling date is the Amaze.

hay guyz first of all greetings
iam thinking of buying the htc sensation xe this is my first android try so iam debating between the xe and sammys gs2 iam liking the xe for allot of points including the curved design the red color shceme teh 16 gig m.c and the 100 bux ibeats earphones any way i have a couple of doubts that make me afraid of the xe too
okay my doubts are
1-the battery life i heared that sense is a bad battery hog
2-the ram is 756 mig while s2 has 1 gig
3-the deathgrip even all xe users i know denied it
okay these are all my doubts wish someone tells me what he thinks which of the is better for these uses
1-chatting on ims apps
2-music i am addicted to my headphones(i like the ibeats since they say the wires are platted on chrome or gold that protects it from getting cut ps:i suffered with nokia and cheap headphones that dont make through a month of use and u lose sound from it
3-id love to watch some movies or videos on my phone
thanks and sry for bad English guyz

1. I'm a light user and I find the battery life quite good (standard XE battery).
2. Yes the ram is only 768mb, there's not much you can do about that. I've had Sense restart several times since I've had my XE, it's not a daily occurence though.
3. It does suffer from WiFi deathgrip, but it's only noticable if you're a fair distance from the router. I haven't yet lost WiFi signal all together.
A couple of screen shots, as I mentioned I'm a light user.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
My brother-in-law has an sgs2. Great phone right out of the box. Touchwiz is kinda blah, but stock Sense on the Sensation is laggy and I got tired of the carousel after a while.
I would go sgs2, but that's just me. Take your time and play with both phones a lot before you take the plunge!
Oh and yes, WiFi deathgrip is very real, but after I started using the htc trace keyboard, I haven't really used landscape much except to watch videos.
Okay guyz i got the sgs2 like all about expect bateery life not so great u know but any way thx for ur advice

The case is nice until you drop your phone.
The protection is "barely there".
Its fine for protecting the phone when you put it down on surfaces though.
I saw this in the paper today and thought I would share it with you all
