http://www.androidcentral.com/confidential-sprint-evo-3d-page-spotted-under-wraps-until-april-11
Very doubtful..
Probably in reference to the official website/page dedicated to the phone.

They already have a page for it though. My guess would be that is just for the pre-orders
April 17th
I just got out of a chat on the sprint website and they mentioned April 17 as a date for the 3D.

Yes but when is that ever exact. I'm sure it will change.
Indeed, I can confirm April 11th as a date for a phone but its code named. Who knows.

Thats the date for the echo... fail sprint rep, fail.
launch date
I am a RC for Sprint in Texas, and I can tell you right now that the EVO3D will not be launching this month.
Our advocate devices (which I should be receiving) come middle of next month, the consumer devices will be June.
I can almost promise that the launch date will be the latter half of June. But, this is how the cellular community functions. Pivotal releases ALWAYS happen in June.

This is incorrect. I have seen this and next months plannogram and the only April device we will offer is the Krapocera Echo.
Next month however look for two new wifi only tabs and the Nexus S.

Looks like they got a hold of some training material.
The bad? It's training material. The actual phone could come in July.

No...this is the forth week of EVO 3D training in the Sprint Playbook. They got it WAYYYY wrong lmao
I don't think week 4 applies to the 4th week in June. Nothing else in this playbook goes that far. Haus already stated my feelings, that its the 4th week in the playbook, not June. I don't think they would use "week 4" in the playbook to refer to 4th week of June, its pretty vague.

i just went to radio shack and best buy
in general the radio shack dood said:
"pre orders usually go for about a month at most"
"about a real release date i would say mid june"
general manager @ bestbuy mobile
told him i heard early june release his reply
"june 14-27 maybe first week of july but i can tell you we have not got any word on a first week of june release"
again i dont think radio shack,best buy,sprint lead rep, xda "insider" or anyone other than HTC or "high up sprint people" will know a for sure release date
as i JUST switched from tmobile yesterday to sprint
and picked up the nexus s (for now)
i hope its within the next 30 days
but honestly NO ONE with a "inside source" will know
so keep floating dates farther and farther out but we will not see this phone in the general public hands till mid to end june
again this is just a opinion and it may be release the 5th or 6th or w.e. you want to think but look at all these dates.... the G2x had a preorder and store date 3 weeks before hand
sprint isnt doing a last notice release! june 4th is a week away... i bet they will tell us WHEN it will be release on the 4th.... not getting the phone out in silence...
Hell yes, nothing has changed in my book. I still haven't spoken to my source, but on tuesday I'll know for sure. June 5th should and probably will be the release date

the bootloader will come LOCKED either way
june 5th or july 20th
it will be locked and only unlocked by a OTA update or a "leak"

it has been talked about, or should i say speculated about. Truth is not many people really know the plan for the bootloader or even the released. So if it comes locked the bootloader issue could still push the date back if they rather wait for an OTA to be ready so a bunch of people don't start complaining. That is if that really is the solution. Again all specultions

yes its been "speculated about"
but honestly HTC/Sprint will not go through every box to unlock it
its stated BY HTC that evo 3D will come LOCKED
now that means if it comes locked then they will not spend the man hours and money to recall all the e3d's back and do that...
(i bet there are 250,000 of them sitting in area 51 or a 25 dollar a month storage shed some where waiting to be sent to each store and 3rd party vendor)
From Htc's facebook:
**UPDATE 7/10**
We wanted to provide an update on HTC’s progress with bringing bootloader unlocking to our newest phones. We know how excited some of you are for this capability, and we’ve put significant resources behind making this change as soon as possible. While we wish we could flip a simple switch and unlock all bootloaders across our device portfolio, this is actually a complex challenge that requires a new software build and extensive testing to deliver the best possible customer experience.
We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.
HTC continues its commitment to unlocking bootloaders and supporting the developer community. Because of the importance of this community to us, please expect an update on this about every few weeks as we make progress toward launch. Thank you for your patience and continued support!
Early September? Pff......
Well that's good news. But I wonder if we'll have our phones unlocked before the update is released.
And there it is...
Over two months? Feels like i'm back with Samsung.
Really you think that is to long?
Honestly give me a break. This type of update is a huge deal and undertaking. I mean, sure they might be able to push it sooner....and brick half of the devices.
How happy would people be then?

Um no, risk of bricking devices b/c of the update is slim and none if they wanted to go about it the easiest and fastest way possible. They toss in the ENG-hboot on a signed firmware zip and all is okay. They are chosing to make this more difficult though hence the longer timeframe.
Yay! Now all of you who said "im returning within 30 days if its not unlocked". Can now take your phones in tomorrow and shut the phuck up

Even though most of us understand that the EVO 3D will most certainly get ICS, here's verification so some of us can quit whining:

This means, it'll probably be released for the HTC EVO 3D in March/April, and the Sprint EVO 3D in June. I'll have a new phone before HTC and Sprint get off their ass to make this available.
I didn't even know there is a HTC EVO design 4G.....good to know. Hopefully HTC is true to their word on the "early 2012".
Glad to hear this, although I knew it was coming.

Do you think it was an error that they did not put an (*) by the Evo3D, to indicate that it was a US handset? Just wondering... They could not just update the GSM and leave the CDMA one in the dust, right?

Sprint News
Sprint will begin to rollout Google's latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, to our customers in early 2012. Ice Cream Sandwich will be available via an over-the-air update to a variety of devices including HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO Design 4G and other key products in our line-up. Stay tuned for more details and exact timing.

While I'd like to have it then, I highly doubt they will have it out that quickly to us evo3d owners. Took them almost 6mo to push out GB to the evo4g given you prolly could add a month or so of delay associated with the evo3d release then bc it'd be dumb to update the evo4g then release the 3D shortly after...
Just find it odd they say early next yr which would Indicate before April in my book, really b4 march ends. Now begs the question how they couldn't get GB out on evo4g by March this yr either....

That's the same thing the happened last year with the evo 4g(December rumor ) and we got it in June (officially ) so yeah I'm no getting my hopes up I might just trade the 3d for the nexus s lol
I agree that this probably won't happen until June. It's highly unlikely that HTC will stick to the plan of "early 2012".
I don't know about that. On the og evo we got 2.2 two weeks after the Google phone did.

Seems like I had a fully working Sense based GB rom on my Evo 2 months before it officially released. April maybe?
I'm looking forward to the leaks .vs the official build which will be 1/2 way old by the time it really launches.
What will suck is being stuck on the leaked stock ICS/Sense kernel for what will feel like forever.
at least we know were getting it. you wan't htc/sprint to "get off their asses"? how bout you go out and make a near perfectly working product for the masses and figure out how to deliver it effectively then. hmmm?
Well, we can always hope!
It seems that in the past we never really new when until it said "you have an update" on your phone. A lot of rumors and a lot of speculation.
I am hoping that article is correct. I am envisioning a December 19th or 26th update. Merry Xmas from us to you kind of thing.
I think that our chances of getting a update soon are strong. With the last major Android that Sprint released being in September(Epic Touch on Sept. 16th). Other carriers are releasing some big phones. Verizon has Nexus Galaxy and Razor(Mid November), At&T with the Vivid and Skyrocket(Nov 6th), and T-mobile with the Amaze.
Some of these phones might not be "better" but they are all newer.
Evo is Sprint's flagship phone. These are all just my opinions. But, we will know for sure pretty soon. Sprint is going to have to do something for the xmas shoppers. We will see what that is.
I have a reliable inside source at the campus....

I can tell you why you should not believe what that rep told you. If the update was "pushed out" a week ago, SOMEONE here would have it, and it'd be available for download. On top of that, they wouldn't know anything about AT&T's release schedule, nor would they give the information in comparison to their phones. I'll just stick it out until it's released, which will probably be after I buy my next phone in June.

Most TechBlogs are full of Apple Fan Boys. I create my own opinions. I go out and see everything myself. I'm not prejudice to phones, but I do hate Apple. When the first iPhone came out, I was like "That's a pretty badass phone..." Then I started seeing the updates come out one by one, and it was always the same thing. And I was like, This is pretty boring...
