6. Make sure you installed the drivers properly.

Awesome! How are you liking the Liquid? Is it good enough for daily use (browsing, using some basic apps, a little 3D gaming maybe)? Thanks!

I really Love the screen. 4.3 inch is just perfect (920x540 resolution). (: . And 1 GB Ram is enough for multitasking, for me atleast. Here a some screenshots of benchmarks i just made. With a lot of apps running in background. (550 MB Ram free) . This phone is really amazing (compared to a galaxy s plus) . The only thing you may not like, that it has no front-facing camera. But you may like the fact that it boots within 7 seconds .

I hope I answered your questions, and feel free to ask something you want to know.

Btw, I'm from Holland, and I bought this phone unlocked for €180,-

Are you seriously saying the (dual-core) Galaxy Nexus S is SLOWER than the (much cheaper single-core) E350? Damn makes me want the phone even more!
And yeah I noticed, I'm from Belgium and thinking of buying this phone (also carrier unlocked) for €199.

Never mind, I was thinking about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is still a bit faster, but not a lot it seems.

I can reach 24hours, with intensive usage.
(but i do have the single sim version. So I can't tell you anything about the duo sim version)
I'm charging it every night when I'm asleep

@jaapstreepjan

1)
You recommend ROM Toolbox. I am interested with its capability of doing nandroid backup. But as far as I know, there is no custom recovery yet for the phone, so even with ROM Toolbox, there is no way to have nandroid backuping the whole system+user+recovery data. Could you confirm ?

The default Android recovery backups only user data, so it is not a really fail-safe for a rooted phone (for example, system application deleted by error).

2) During a phone call, by pressing menu button, there is possibility to record the call. Once recorded, I do not known where the recorded file is stored. My search inside /mnt/sdcard does not show anything. Do you know where this file is located?

Thank you.
