That was quickI'm on three and it took 2 or 3 months for the gingerbread update!
Vodafone must have some sort of deal with HTC because they get their updates at the same time (or even before) unbranded customers.

I'm on Vodafone.
Got it today by chance. I just checked for updates not expecting anything and to my surprise and update for sense was there, and the market is now updated.
I don't use sense as my home launcher, but the gallery's been improved and the speed of scrolling is lovely and the photos appear quickly as you scroll.
Messaging app, again don't use htc one but it's a bit cleaner and sharper.
Htc keyboard which I do use is the same apart from the words above guessing what you're typing. It's just smartened up a bit like the messaging.

Although my phone is unlocked and unbranded... I did find a couple of images on the phone that had the 3 logo on them. The packaging is also totally brand free.
As I bought it second hand (even thought it's mint and shows no signs of even being used), it could be that the branding has been removed.
I'm currently on T-mobile PAYG, so are there any other T-Mobile users looking for it?
Is there another way to update apart from the OTA?

I imagine they won't send it all out in one go and overload the servers, try again tomorrow.
Yeah, it's not just the DHD that's had Sense 3.0 over the past couple of days, the Desire S and the Wildfire S have had it as well so I imagine it's been quite a lot for them to roll out.
i've just update my Desire HD to the newest version of android as the phone said to me to do. But unfortunatelly my phone keeps restarting without any reason. I'm using go launcher as a home screen and my phone is not branded or rooted.
It seems to have a luck of memory or something and it stucks a lot and when it stucks it's restarting and prompt me to put my pin code. Also the restart is very slow
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE?
I just find out that the phone restarts even on the waiting for the pin code screen
Please help me.

The rollout is ongoing till the 15th apparently so it might take a while.

Is it doing it when you have boot up the phone? All after sometime using it?
Are you able to check your internal memory... go to App Tray -> Menu -> Remove App -> then read the bottom of how much storage you have left.
You may have to move some of the apps to your SD card...
Anyone tested HTC Sense 3.0 yet? Does it improves the life battery? Can I finally use the standard HTC Sense and uninstall Go Launcher??
Any news when google actually decides to do what he does best (search engine) and make a better search engine for contacts (I want to search by words in the notes/company of a contact)

When I install skins from market, it is not showed in personalize->skins. There are only 3 default skins for HTC Sense 3.0. I've tried download skins from HTC Hub and that works correctly with no problems.
And I found out that all of NON-HTC skins aren't showed in skins option. If I install skin from HTC Hub, everything is OK, but when I install any skin for example from Android Market it's not showing in skins menu.
Can anyone help me..

I am having the exact same problem as you.
My phone has not been rooted and I was using Go Launcher Ex.
Since doing the software update yesterday to v2.3.5 my phone has been rebooting, I need to take out my sim-card and SD card so the phone can be turned on and will stay on.
I even tried uninstalling Go Launcher Ex and making HTC Sense my default but the phone was still still rebooting if the sim and SD was in my phone.
I went into Remove App & my internal storage says:
623MB Used | 528MB free
I am only able to use my phone while the sim and SD is out of my phone.
5c0tt - Do one thing.
Put your SD card ONLY in and see what happens.. does it reboot? If it doesn't then on your phone dialer type in
*#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information and look at the preferred network type...
Set it to WCDMA preferred
....
If when you put your SD card into your phone and it reboots... then I think it could be the apps that are installed on your SD card that might be causing the problem.
If that is the case, take your SD card out, connect it to your PC and look in the folder called, /.android_secure/
This is where your apps on SD card are stored... What you may have to do is uninstalled the apps that you find in this directory (could be tricky if your phone keeps rebooting).
Do not delete the directory on the SD card via your PC (yet anyway). I am not too sure what that will do to your phone...
But anyway reading reports the best way is a factory reset...

Springy,
I have my phone on charge at the moment but thanks for your ideas.
So far today I have uninstalled GO Launcher Ex and used HTC Sense.
After using HTC Sense for quite a while I reinstalled GO Launcher Ex and set the theme up including widgets.
This was all done with no sim-card or SD card in the handset.
After a good charge I will see if this has worked, if this hasn't done anything I will try your ideas separately and see how I get on.
I have also read quite a lot of them reports but I prefer to try other options before Factory Reset. I was trying to backup my apps to SD card but before it could finish the phone would reboot.

Spring,
I just tried your idea of putting only the SD card in the phone.
The phone still rebooted, but before it did I was able to use Astro File Manager to look into my SD card. I did find the folder but it said it 'Directory Empty'.
I just put only my sim-card in and so far so good, it has not rebooted so there must be something wrong on the SD card.

Desire HD still having Sense 2.1..Checked for updates but there were none.
Good, now we seem to be getting somewhere.
It will be empty as you do not have root access (it is a permission thingy that Android put on this folder as it is dangerous to remove).
If possible, connect that SD card to your PC and look into the directory. You should be able to see the related Apps which are organised in Folders. Can you see if you have any duplicates?
If no duplicates, then you may need to somehow uninstall these apps which are on this folder.
I will do some research tonight on if you just delete this folder.. I have no idea how the device will react, but I have a feeling that this is the root cause of your issue.
