Evo 3d confusion - HTC EVO 3D

ok guys im a little confused about the evo 3d....is the phone screen in 3d all the time or just the camera takes 3d videos and pictures?

---

Just when viewing 3D content

---

No, you can turn 3d on and off at will.

so i can view like the home screen and texting in 3d?

---

Screen = will always be 3D, cant turn it off
Camera = You can choose to take a 3D picture or 2D with the switch next to the camera button

---

3d, 2d, 3g, 4g, to be or not to be.
I haven't read that the screen itself can toggle 3d, just the camera.

No, it was clearly stated in most previews that you can turn 3d on and off in software form the home screen.

Wow.....
The videos and pics can be turned off at will.
The sense UI will NOT be 3D.

Basically.
Nothing else would be of any real use.

And viewing 3D movies and pictures. What else were you expecting?

And a game will be available at launch to take advantage of the 3D

I was expecting 3D home screen for one.

There will definitely be a 3D homescreen given that it now uses a 3D shape to turn.

yeah i was expecting like the UI sense to be 3d. ehhh i dont know about getting the phone now.
i dont think me buying the phone full price with no upgrade is worth a 3d camera. i hardly ever use my evo camera now.

Who the hell cares about the 3D? It has a dual-core Snapdragon @ 1.2 GHz and 1GB of RAM. You should be looking at the specs. The Evo is an awesome phone, but it definitely lacks in the graphics department. When you use a ROM with a lot of transparencies (like Myn's Warm Z or RLS5), going through the app drawer, for example, is noticeably laggier than using a stock ROM with no transparencies. This should upgrade should fill the void. I think the 3D part of the phone is a gimmick, but the phone itself isn't.
PS I get that the back of the phone is supposed to make it look like a point and shoot camera (the trim across the top/side + the camera button), but for God's sake, couldn't they have made the camera lense flush with the phone body?

this. exactly.
i find that many are bashing it (the phone) as a "non-upgrade", citing the lack of kickstand (really?, lol), and the lack of ubiquity of 3D in the market (in general) as a useless gimmick.
while completely forgetting the Awesome new CPU+GPU, the new Sense, the better Android OS, more RAM, bigger stock batt, and what I seriously hope is a better camera (as we all know more mps is not better pics, I hope they fixed that compression algorithm at least).
I for one am thrilled to get my hands on one, at the very least.

They could have but then people would be complaining that the phone is too big, size wise, in order to make flush cameras, they would have to push out the whole body of the phone, you see why they did what they did now?
