No stupid. Because the source, whoever it is, should easily know better. You work at sprint! You know how sprint writes the playbook. Also if they were not stupid, they would know last week the playbook said "week 3" lol

@Zanderman, I was going to get the Playbook for you but we just got new computers today and they don't have the certificates on them at all...so no dice
And I know all in fun , but seriously...it was a total coincidence that the EVO 3D got delayed until the 24th and that we were on our Fourth Week of training.

Yeah, that's what we are thinking. My source has no idea to the exact reason, but he thinks it is something to do with the bootloader. Maybe a last minute update to the software that will be pushed out OTA and required by Sprint employees to update the devices to before distributing them.
Okay, well, I hope the evo 3d is worth it. You getting it launch day?

I heard someone say there are pre orders, is this true? If so, anyone got a direct link? I can't seem to find it.
Or do you have to actually physically be at the store? If so, that's pretty lame, I'd prefer doing everything online and getting mailed the phone.
Danke
you are going to want to call your sprint store and ask. It still seems to be a store by store case, but YES many stores are taking pre orders. Sprint just hasn't announced it yet.
+1 on Stores or Districts....
My Store is not taking Pre-orders......nor are any others on the island.
Bastards...
I just preordered mine. The guy at the front of the store told me no, so I started playing with the nexus s and the evo 4g. Another rep walked over and I said I came in to preorder the 3d but no dice. He said "yes we are". Sure enough they were. I told him someone may want to let the guy in the front of the store know that. Gotta love customer service . Now I just need a flipping release date.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA Premium App
Pre-ordered as well. I would say you will have to go in, just because of the $50 GC they give you. Always worth a shot calling though. The one thing I am keeping an eye on is Amazon. They seem to be selling phones pretty cheap. The Nexus 4G is priced at $99 or was yesterday and the Thunderbolt was like $80 cheaper than stores plus no sales tax and should be free shipping. I know it will be hard for me to wait on the phone but $100 difference will be hard as well.
Got my preorder yesterday

Pre ordered best buy, cost $599 supposedly. So I called sprint to see if it would be availavble launch day and not worry bout selling out.for $499. Not 2 but 3 phone reps said dont buy it for a month or 2 till the kinks are worked out. I asked them to repeat and one said, without prompt "and 7 year olds and under might "puke" whem watching it". Being the phone geek I am ill buy it anyway. Kinks are half the fun. They had no idea bout 1080p locked bootloader on release... Call em and see...

No need, this phone comes with a whole row of blue teeth, but they will come in an optional firmware update that turns one of your cameras into an x-ray camera.
Just got off the phone with Sprint.. they said an apple fanboy infiltrated Sprint (as a CSR) and is telling everyone not to buy it. He was caught and fired.
All is well

F THAT! My wife has a friend who just happens to work for Sprint. she got her hands on the phone, her own, today! I played with it. the 24th can not come soon enough.
say what you want I have no pics to prove it but I wasn't going to spend my 5 minutes with it taking pictures. I wanted hands on time. personally 3D isn't bad I think people are expecting too much, more than anything. 3d Photo's are awesome. and the 1.2 dual core, and 1GB Ram. what is waiting? hands down butter smooth and fast. So responsive the phone moves as fast as you do at times, and you end up in places you aren't aiming for. I'll take that ANY day!
Ah I'm in love. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! If you really take the 3D as an added feature, and take in everything in minus 3D it's everything you dreamed of. My wife wasn't as impressed 3D, but she also admitted she expected the 3D to be more "movie like". whatever. she thought everything else about it was great and she owns the shift.
Also I think sense 3.0 is sweet. granted I'm coming from a samsung moment so ANYTHING other than samsungs crap is better in my eyes, but think the lock screen features are great.
Not a review Just sayin' there is NO WAY I'm waiting a month.
alright now I need to get rid of my hard on.
And she's yelling at me for telling people about playing with her phone before she left the house. apparently I need to say bye and thank you.
Maybe they've been reading the reviews....
Just called sprint and by surprise that tell me that my Htc software version is out of date, and and there is a newer one available, and so I check for the update and my evo 3d tells me that it is up to date, and then the rep tries to push the update and will call me back which he be er did. I so guys am I missing something here. Is everyone on the same version as me?

I hope but doubt they have an update since HTC Facebook page is being hammered with people asking them to unlock our bootloader and they still don't have an ETA. I'm sure they would've been quick to let us know so we would leave them alone.

My conspiracy theory!
Sprint is holding onto the OTA that will enable S-OFF till 1 day after the 30 day period. Forcing all those nay sayers to put up or shutup. In the meantime they get a swarm of 30 day returns, since no unlocked bootloader, they collect $35 from each for restocking fee, as well as a phone that can be added to a stock pile of refurbs.
Then sprint will push the update, forcing all those who returned to go back to the store and get another E3D! Win win for sprint, they create a stockpile of refurbs and collect $35 from each return!

From an HTC Marketing perspective it doesn't make good business sense to provide ICS for the EVO 3D when they can make $$$ by selling you a new smartphone with ICS. Having said that I sure hope we get ICS on our EVT 3Ds and "marketing strategies" don't prevail.

They are required to support a new version of Android within 18 months of release. Basically, every phone gets one update to the next version of Android before EOL. We'll get ICS. Just not sure when. Should be soon. It's just up to Sprint now to get it ready.

From an HTC Marketing perspective it doesn't make good business sense to provide ICS for the EVO 3D when they can make $$$ by selling you a new smartphone with ICS. Having said that I sure hope we get ICS on our EVT 3Ds and "marketing strategies" don't prevail.

I'd argue the exact opposite, actually. Aside from us geeks at XDA, the average customer that picked up the EVO 3D doesn't know/care about ICS. Anyone in the US who picked it up on contract for 2 years isn't likely to upgrade to a new phone until next year when their contract is up. The only people they are appeasing with an ICS update are people like us, who are clearly in the minority.
Even if it comes out 6 months from now, the rest of the crowd will just be like "Oh wow, an update. Cool! HTC rocks!" and they will be happy that HTC still supports their phone. The XDA crowd (the ones that don't move on to another phone) will be cursing HTC every day until ICS is released. Some of us will stick with HTC and some will jump ship. That's inevitable.
So pushing out an ICS update will actually go towards keeping the average customer satisfied until their contract expires next year. If they can promote brand loyalty to the average joe, they are more likely to pick up another HTC device next summer.
Of course, this way of thinking doesn't really apply to those outside of the US who aren't locked in to 2 year contracts.

Spot on most don't know there is a new os till they buy another phone and even over seas I don't think that many people follow it all though I may be wrong.

That may have something to do with Google. The whole ICS release was kind of a mess, and the NS4G as of a month ago still hadn't received the official ICS update. Perhaps HTC/Sprint was waiting on a solid build from Google since 4.0.3 was kinda screwy.
So you're telling me I can warranty out my phone in 5 months and have a 4glte?? I'm down lol

EOL already? Wow the TP2 went selling forever before it went EOL. Guess HTC is going all in on the HTC one and wants to save money by consolidating production of one streamlined device. Granted there are the different models on one. Also this is mostly probably do to Sprint migrating to LTE and they want to move away from WIMAX ASAP.
RadioShack still has them! We are selling them left and right

Typical, phone is EOL and Radio Shack is selling them at full price.

They are required to support a new version of Android within 18 months of release. Basically, every phone gets one update to the next version of Android before EOL. We'll get ICS. Just not sure when. Should be soon. It's just up to Sprint now to get it ready.

This was NOT a requirement. It was more of a suggestion. There is no penalty from Google if someone who agreed to this decided to break this agreement.
However, HTC did promise we'd get the update already. It wouldn't be good for them to back out of their promise. And wasn't the og evo eol when it got gingerbread?

OG Evo didn't go EOL until maybe 2-3 months after Gingerbread was released

Yeah I guess sprint is throwing them everywhere.
I was BLOWN(to say the least) when the door man at my local watering hole had one on cricket the other day. Kind of made my phone feel cheap and not as cool any more.
Check this out:

*****"Update: Well, we just heard back from HTC and the company confirmed that it's not a prototype of any future device. Apparently, it's just an early design when HTC and Sprint were considering carrying over the 3D feature, but it didn't make the cut. Mystery solved!"
This is over a month old and it was mentioned that the 3d version was a prototype and sprint rejected it. Sorry to burst your bubble..

Well some may not have seen this. Not everyone is as up on things as you are.
Like I said the video on the page is very interesting.
I really hope that a 3D Phone from HTC is in the works

perhaps they can roll one out for Att and T-Mobile. Sprint is not the only company out there.
HTC is not Sprint and Sprint is not HTC.
Haha no..

So since it has been confirmed that model is a prototype and will not see the light of day, why do you want MORE people to see it and think that it's a real thing?

Is it a proto-type that will not see the light of day? Who confirmed that?
I was saying the video was interesting to watch -- if you watched it you'd see it absolutely nothing to do with a new 3d phone.
We kind of all saw the video when it was confirmed to be a prototype..If you look at the other phones on the rack next to it they are all subtly different as they were prototypes too.
It's been confirmed by Sprint and HTC. It's not happening :beer:

Sorry buddy, we had this news awhile ago. It would've been cool though. I took a lot of 3d pics that I'd love to view & create on a better camera/s.
XDA Since 2007...
I wouldn't buy its to hard to get aosp love in a 3d phone

Yeah, but you were advertising the thread as a possible new 3D phone. I just don't want people who have a hard time reading between the lines and keeping up to get confused about this.
I agree wholeheartedly that the video is interesting; I've watched it a few times myself. I would just suggest that you change the thread title now that you know it isn't a real phone.

I know this is probably no consolation to you at this point, since the phone has reached EOL and many people are moving on, but they've almost got 3D and Wimax on CM9. It could be any day now that we see a release.

I know that but look how long it took maybe know it will a lot easier to do if that device ever comes out .in my opinion I had never used the 3d function on my evo I pretty much got it because of the specs and I got it on release date
