I was curious about how new devices, especially big launch day type devices like the evo 3d arrive at the store? Are they generally overnighted and arrive at stores the day before launch? Shipped to some secret warehouse someware in advance and then distrubuted to stores last minute?
I'm guessing if they were to arrive at stores early, say a week or two before launch, pictures or something would surely leak.
Thanks!

i have quite a good grip actually, lol. Just curious to see if anyone knew how it works. I'm surely not pulling my hair out like many others around here.

We usually get them overnighted the day before.
And look what we have here:
In the process of begging my GM to let me buy one LOL
So, fair to say that some stores may have it out in the open?
We got the Nexus and started selling it a few days before launch. Unfortunately it looks as if Sprint wants to keep this one locked. With the EVO 4G I didn't have to try so hard to get one but the 3D I may just have to wait like every other anxious person! I'm so mad I waited so long to go back to school for Web and Android Development. I should be in the backroom with a pot of coffee working on a root...*sighs* oh well in due time for the EVO 4D LOL

BTW, Camcorder: highest resolution is 720p in 2D, no option for resolution on 3D at all. This is a demo I'm using, but should be on the latest SW.
Moley moley moley!

Yep, she is finally jumping ship from MetroPCS to Verzion! But, guess what phone she is getting? The Nexus, lol. Just ordered it this morning, should be here next week sometime. We still get the extended return period, which now it is practically a regular period since the 15th is only 2 1/2 weeks away. But, I got it discounted, early upgrade for my Xoom. I literally called and said "I would like to see about doing an early upgrade since I no longer had my Xoom. The rep didn't even hesitate, didn't have to transfer, didn't have to talk to anyone else, just did it. So, we will see if she likes it, otherwise I will pay the $35 and she is getting the Rezound also. She isn't a nerd like us, so anything above her 4 year old Metro PCS POS is going to impress her.
Nice. My GF loves her Nexus but always asks to take pictures with my phone instead haha
not being a nerd like us is why i worry that the nexus was the worse choice of the two....idk, it feels like it's a lot more to get accustomed to, whereas sense is very straightforward, ya know? either way, she'll dig it!
I think if she knew 1 UI or another it might be confusing, but to her it is going to be like getting a brand new car upgraded from a pinto, lol.
Are you seeing my wife? I thought she was the only one left driving a Pinto for a phone. LG something or another flip phone.

Verizon has been really great about people upgrading early. One reason is that their locking us in for another two and 2. They dont want us to jump ship Lol.

Well, I took her to the store to play with all of the phones several times. Most things she liked were not spec things, but rather some miscellaneous features. Plus, she knows we can take it back.

Ah well, can't have everything, I "convinced" my girlfirend to get a Rezound and she loves it, she's even letting me ROM it up until my replacement Rezound (mine was unlockable). I bet she trys to get you to trade

Is HTC abandoning ship on 3D? Are there any new phones with 3D from HTC?
I bought the EVO 3D because I'm fascinated by it. I guess I still haven't outgrown it yet.
I like watching movies in 3D. I like playing games in 3D. I taking pictures in 3D.
The reason I have not flashed a current rom with the ICS leak is I don't want to lose any of the 3D features. Its the sole reason I bought this phone. Turge's KingCobra 2.4 is about the best it gets before things start failing. I'm sticking with it at least until there is an official update of ICS and everything in 3D works.
Anyway, what is the future of 3D as far as HTC is concerned?
.
They've given up on 3D... I woundn't expect any more 3D content except just having 3D working in future updates.
Also, the 3.6 leaks have 3D fully working.

This might make the EVO 3D more valuable in the future.
I remember using my Audiovox SMT 5600 at work. I could leave it on my desk and walk anywhere in the factory up to 400 feet and the Bluetooth headset would still receive just fine.
Most, if not all of today's phones only broadcast up 30 to 40 feet.
I guess my point is that sometimes abandoning a feature is not always a good thing.

Sadly, nobody really wants 3D anymore so it's dropping value extremely fast. You could probably pick one up for $150 now.

I still see people posting that certain games won't work in 3D and 3D you tube videos won't play in 3D and some movies won't in play in 3D mode using stock player.
I'm going to wait a little longer.
As far as Facebook, Google, SMS, Twitter or any of those bugs. I can live without all that. So that is fine.

Is that with a contract?
I bought mine outright on Ebay awhile back. I just use a prepaid GSM ATT card. No Contract. I just checked Ebay and prices have not dropped at all. They are still selling new at between $350.00 - 400.00.
Can you tell where to pick up a couple at $150.00?
Thanks.

Au contraire, monsieur.
First of all, you have 12 sons? That seems like a feat in itself. Also, you should have put "The 3D *function* is a* gimmick; only my 12 *year old* son enjoys it."
Also, while you might not like the 3D, that is no reason to put down others who enjoys it. By your above statement, you are implying that those who enjoy the 3D function are immature; this statement is clearly untrue. While it is true that many people get headaches from watching movies or playing games in 3D, that is no reason to insult the ones who don't. So please, if you can't state your point in a less insulting manner, don't say anything at all.
On another note, your post reminded me of the "an hero" thing .

Interesting, thanks. I am no fan of Apple but gotta give them credit for what they've come out with.
I'm proud to say that I've never owned any Apple product and I hope I never will.
Been an HTC fan for a long long time. I am a Microsoft fan also. Although I don't think I'm going with windows 8. I probably will become a full blown Ubuntu user after they stop supporting Windows 7. (which will probably be a long time from now).

I'm all onboard for an ICS rom called something like "Everything 3D works superbly" or some ****.

Thanks! sort of proves my suspicions that it should make the phone worth more now that its off the market. People who want this 3D feature and can't get it would pay more for it.
I would absolute love to pick up two or three new GSM phones at $150.00 each. I don't think that's possible.
If someone has a link to these prices, please post it. I am sure there are some dealers out there who would love to unload such an unpopular phone.
Kind of reminds me of when I tried to purchase a Volkswagon Golf with a Diesel engine. The dealership told me that no one wants a Diesel engine. I said ok fine then you should be anxious to get rid of them. He said it would cost me an extra $5,000.00 to get it with a Diesel engine. Make any sense to you?

Okay. Trying to grasp your point.
"No one wanted them." You are dealer (just pretend, I know you're not)
You have inventory. You need to sell it off. You should want to get rid of it right? Sell it cheap and be done with it. That is business.

My apologies. I thought you were talking about the Evo 3D.
sorry.
I dunno, maybe its just me but, 3D without wearing the glasses is huge.
This is the only phone that exists that can do that. Well Lg has one but let's go there. Not a good phone.
Imagine if you whipped one of these babies out during the Salem MA witch trials. You'd be cooked on a stick.
Imagine just 20 years ago speaking of such a device. People would have laughed at you.
I remember being a truck driver and going to truck stops and having to plug into a hub to get internet access. I remember saying why can't we log on thru our cell phones? I was laughed at. They told me I was living in fantasy land. That was when Bill Clinton was President.
Remember the Honeymooners? Ralph Cramden told his wife he was waiting for 3d TV before he bought a television set. That was 1959. Before I was born.
Now we have a device that fits in your shirt pocket that will play the latest movies in HD 3D and people say oh its a gimmick. Only an immature 12 year old would be interested in such a thing.
I don't know, maybe its me. Maybe I'm missing something here.
Well to make a long story short. I shifted my jeep an my phone in the ottervox was on my dash. I had the doors an tip off an bam my phone goes flying by me. I hurried up an pulled around unto a park an ran out on us12 ( a main highway in my town) . The screen was on an I could see my phone unharmed. I was so happy that my otterbox protected it. There ewere cars comin so I waited just as I see a truck switch lanes an run over my phone. I ran out to it pissed off an I see. The screen shattered an dead pixels on the bottom. My otterbox was smashed to pieces an I inspected my phone. The touch still works but the left half of the screen is black. An I can't read the bottom half of my phone. I'm makin a claim an they are sendin me a s2. So I won't be here much longer. I liked this phone too. I'll post pictures later. Just wanted to say my farewells to this forum. See yah later guys!

I also love what the devs do for us, but don't feel bad about not thanking anyone when your phone just got smashed. If my phone were smashed, I'd be cussing rather than thanking.

I'll answer your question with a question.
Why do people start useless farewell threads?
Farewell threads are troll bait and really are not needed. I'm not a fan of them if you can't tell. I'll leave this open for the time being, but you can expect it to close at some point (because undoubtedly the trolls will come).
And side note, too bad they gave you a Crapsung device, If my only option was an iPhone or a Samsung, I'd take the iPhone and I hate Apple with such a passion that every time I even see an apple in the grocery store I want to blow the place up, but I hate Samsung even more, they make crap phones. I've owned a couple Samsung phones and they've all been total feces, wouldn't work half the time and the other half they locked up.
