funny how they say battery life is improved?
Yeah, they were much kinder to the 3d than some of the others. They also said the Camera is pretty good.
The battery is the biggest factor for me, but at least I will have 30 days to return it.
you have to realize
when evo 4g first came out you were lucky to get 7 hours of battery life
I'm curious about the call quality concerns. Does the Evo3d use a different microphone and radio than the Evo does?

I'm curious about this too... I thought I read that the 3D had dual mics. Call quality is one of the last things I expect to go backwards and if it does indeed have two mics I would expect better with some kind of noise cancellation.
Maybe call quality can be addressed with software if it really is a problem.
Bah, why would we care about decent call quality in a phone?

I have Bluetooth in my car for phone calls. I hardly ever use my EVO as an actual phone. Email and texts get used more than the phone.

I agree, especially to those people who say that it is suppose to be a phone first. The phone part is now like the extra feature. People aren't buying these devices because they want to talk on the phone all day. Would you rather a great phone but crappy everything else.
If you are using it for business calls, then I agree that you might want a good phone, for everything else there is text messaging! Text messaging is the new phone call.
i hate talking on the phone... lol

I just read the article and was like "where?", then I saw that they put that in the specs. I like how they contradicted Engadget on Battery Life and build quality. Endadget said both were poor while CNET thought both were improved.

I think the CNET review said that it had 1gb available to install apps. So out of the 4gb 3 of them are used by android, sense, and apps. I somehow don't see them squeezing the Green Hornet 3D into that space it's probably on the micro sd, but maybe it's on the built in storage as well.
CNET Article said:
It has 4GB of internal memory but only 1GB of that is available to the user, and you can't uninstall the preloaded apps. You can move them, as well as any downloaded apps, to the preinstalled 8GB microSD card, but if you plan on loading up your phone with apps, music, and video, you might want to upgrade to a higher-capacity card. The phone's expansion slot can support up to 32GB.

The 3D Green Hornet movie is not actually on the phone. You have to go through HTC's movie streaming service and you will have access to view that particular movie. And I guess the rest will cost a certain amount to download but Green Hornet will be free.

always glad to see folks dump the iphone
its amazing how so many people could agree to like one size screen,1 form factor,1 set of specs etc in the iphone..... much more choices in phones and stuff with android to suit your needs
this phone blows the iPhone away i love it
i cant comment on battery life yet but the iPhone did have great battery life for me
?
I just assumed the ip4 had good battery life until I went to New Orleans for the weekend with some friends that all have iphones. One of them carried a charger and every placed we stopped they were all taking turns charging.
Sheon -
We do get 4g in most of Honolulu/Oahu
It gets spoyty on Nimitz under the Viaduct and inside building.
If you are IN town - the Tall building are likely interfering as well.
get GREAT 4g Reception in Kaneohe/Kailua
I just got my 3D a few hours ago. Upgraded from the 4G. I haven't had a chance to install all my apps and stuff yet. Quick question...can I just pop in my old 16gb SD card?

i live in waikiki on kuhio so i guess 4g is out here then?
so far its great the battery does seem to die quickly? maybe its cause i always have 4G on?
also signal bars seem to always be on and off
and i dont see any 3D isnt 3d supposed to pop out of the screen or is it some other kind of 3d? maybe im just blind lol..
the animations on this phone are so bad ass makes my iPhone look like ****
how fast is 4G supposed to be i get about 2 to 4 down and 400k up
I am thinking about upgrading to the evo 3d in a few hours. (15-20)
and i am wondering, is it really worth it?
can anyone please tell me about any issues with the phone that YOU personally have experienced that are major.
main use of phone will be 2d movies, music, texting and some web browsing. calling of course.
lemme know please and thanks lol
My biggest gripe about the phone..... Google Music/ data roaming.
I had NO issues using Google Music on data roaming with the NS4G. With this, I can't really data roam anymore.
My speeds are slow on 3G (but so are everyone's it seems, Sprint is becoming overloaded obviously), and there are said to be towers out in my area.... I've heard that excuse for the past two years... I'm getting sick of it. All of that combined with not getting some phone calls and text messages is a bit annoying.
Other than that one inssue (which affects any sort of data usage really off Sprint's network), I love the phone for what it is! MUCH nicer feel than any other phone (including the OG EVO) I've ever used, and I love how comfortable it is to hold.
Battery life is decent for me, camera is everything I wanted, and you and somewhat attach a lanyard thing to the phone if you really need too (good for takin' pictures).
I'm happy with it, I'm going to keep it..... Sprint's probably not going to like my complaint tomorrow, lol.
So other than there are really no issues? like overheating or anything?
After 20 days I'm 100% satisfied. Take it for a 30 day test drive, if you don't like it return it.

If this is really all you want to do, then don't upgrade. The phone is amazingly fast, stable, and Sense 3.0 is well organized and very nice to look at, IMO. However, what you seem to want to use the phone for is not something that warrant upgrading to this device for.
I upgraded because previous Evo lagged with some of the games I played on it, it had Bluetooth connectivity issues with many devices I wanted to pair it with, my internal memory was full even using apps2SD, etc. I can benefit from the upgraded hardware on this phone due to the type of user that I am.
In your case, however, if you can afford it and want a phone that can do everything you want and a LOT more, then go for it. What I'm trying to say is that you don't NEED a 1.2 ghz dual core processor, 1 gb of ram, a high resolution screen, 3D capabilities with native mirroring to an HDMI source via MHL, etc. to send texts and browse the web. lol
But it won't hurt!

Let's make this the official thread to post first impressions of this phone.
Going to T-Mobile today I was pretty much dead set on getting the GS II. I was sure nothing would deter me. I walked in there and toyed with both phones and my opinions changed drastically. I was pretty disappointed with the resolution and cheap plastic build of the GS II. The screen is big and bright but the low res almost kills it IMO. The HTC Amaze has a build similar to the Sensation which means its one of the best designed phones on the market. In the hand the difference is night and day. The Amaze feels like a Mercedes and the GS II a Toyota Camry if you catch my drift.
I owned a Sensation for roughly a month when it first came out. I loved the phone except the lagginess and the unresponsive screen issues. If this phone doesn't have those issues I will be a VERY happy camper. Not to mention it has more ram, a bigger battery, and NFC. Oh, and I also pulled down 11Mbps on a Speedtest inside my house! Imagine if I'm out somewhere in the open and have full 4G signal! I'm really surprised by how good the data speeds are.
So far the phone is snappy but I'll see how it holds up. Coming from a Nexus S I'm very happy with this phone. The camera is great too with those two physical buttons. The audio during video recording is rubbish though just like all HTC phones.

Could it be possible that some dev might cook up a ROM which could improve the audio in any way?
so far I am very happy with mine. Battery life is good (i turned off 'tell htc', 'find my phone' and 'fast boot') and its making a little difference as far as less data being used at idle.
I have some slight screen bleed from the bottom buttons, but it doesnt bother me. As i stated in another thread, no phone is going to be perfect, but this is the closest I think any android phone has come.
I can't wait for a OTA update to restore wifi calling as i live in a fringe network area. but i'm confident it will come.
I'm loving the camera buttons, the call quality is great, and i got 13.1mbps down on campus today in san diego. F yea!
3 quick questions:
Is the speaker phone loud enough?
Any wifi-death grip issues?
How about LAG???

Actually, this is the same thing basically word for word that happened with me today. My wife was actually shocked (mouth dropped) when I asked him to grab me the Amaze instead of the SGS2.
I didn't realize this thing was out already. I LOVE my glacier for the trackpad and hard camera button. I like the sensation for the big-ass screen. Amaze might be almost perfect because of the extra ram.
I'll wait to pick one up until cm7 is out.

The speaker is louder than my Nexus S (which has fantastic speakers IMO) but the quality of the sound is a little lower.
Haven't experienced any death grip issues, but then again, I don't completely cover my phone with my hands when holding it.
Phone has been butter so far. Haven't seen any outstanding signs of lag yet.

Anyone here do some testing? Quadrant ran at 2213 and speed test averages around 5-6mbs (myTouch 4g ran around 3-4mbs) in my house
I just paid $615 for mine :X
Coming from Nexus One Dev model. this thing is amazing (pun maybe intended) No lag so far, good screen, speakers are nice and loud (haven't made a phone call yet referring to back speakers while using youtube / netflix ), Camera is very good, pictures almost perfect sharpness while moving (took a picture outside the passenger window while driving at 40mph, I wasn't driving )
I'm really going to miss the pouch that came with my N1 how ever :'(
No comment on battery life yet need a few more days.
Really disappointed in this USB wall plug charger... why can't they just come with a real wall charger not this fake charger thing... thankfully I have my N1 usb - micro usb cable and it works but some people may not have that and need to switch from wall outlet to computer a lot :/
Haven't had to much of a chance to play around with it to find any bugs but I'll have some free time tomorrow.
christ! i want this phone now!! living in new zealand doesn't help, hopefully the 3rd party suppliers will get it in very soon.

you've been on this forum for 1 month and only have 7 post and you are already hating on someones post? This is in the Q&A so I had no problem with his question, and if you don't understand the title simple just don't click on it..
anyways-
Great phone.
Beautiful display
Very fast!
but if you want to wait for the extra 1gig of ram on the GSIII It would be understandable. But according to Engadget, they still like the EVOlte better because of the physical camera button and the kickstand. Also from what I've been reading the extra ram isn't really going to come into play to much.

with that said the phone is flat out beautiful. needs a few software updates to get the little kinks worked out but other than that its just amazing in my opinion.

well if you got money or you really wanna use an upgrade but i think its working good enough now to go ahead and buy one, i mean its not like its a custom ROM where there are still problems with things that just flat out dont work ya know. everything on mine works great. only complaint i have which idk if its suppose to be like this or not is it get kinda warm up around the camera while using it but other then that like i said it works great.

Definitely an upgrade from the OG Evo. I was hesitant at first, I didn't want to get the phone as soon as it comes out because usually the first few batches have kinks that need to be worked out. But I'm confident with this phone, all the technology in it has been around for some time, so its well put together. Still waiting to see how LTE performs, but that wont be for a while.
As for battery life, its awesome. I've actually gone almost two days (at least 40 hours) now without charging it, of course that was light to moderate usage (visiting some websites, a few calls and texts, taking pictures, navigating through menus, downloading some apps). The OG Evo could barely get a day out of it. Not having a removable battery might be a problem for some, but I'm sure HTC has safeguards in place in case the phone freezes. And remember, iPhones do not have a removable battery, and all those trendy apple fanboys are tickled pink to buy a new iphone every year.
I'd give the Evo LTE 10/10... In my opinion (or in my case, anyways) its the best phone ive ever had.

I used a white 16gb and used it solely. Overall it is a nice phone. Wait? Huh? Yeah I said it. But there a re many reasons I just couldn't keep it...I'm android. I'm not an iPhone guy.
Pros.
Always good call quality
Speaker is loud and clear
Can send a full recorded video to any other iPhone and send any recorded video to another phone (although it compresses the hell out of it...it does send)
Camera, sharp fast clear.
Screen quality (yes its so small)
Battery life ( I could avg 5-6 hours usage time solely on 3g no wifi one days use)
Cons
Little bitty display
Could not Bluetooth pics to my wife's nexus.
No t9 dialer (but found an app)
No sextube app! Lol
0 3rd party apps (i know, common knowledge but crap)
Keyboard was...difficult. but I'm sure with tiny fingers manageable.
Not hardly any customization. Open it up from box. Turn on. Use it. Enjoy kind of feeling.
I updated it to ios6 and well...it looked almost identical to ios5. It just felt old and dated. Lost google maps too.
Basically I read a lot of people wanting to hang themselves with a charger at the thought of owning an iPhone. I tried it and while I don't want to chop my fingers off it wasn't a miserable experience. There were some perks I would like to see in android.
Being able to send any video and edit video on the fly was a plus.
Other than that I just missed every android phone I had used up until then. Some people love that phone and that's cool. I just wanted to share my take on it.
It's deffinantly technology and the os to me has,been,surpassed by jellybean. In all areas. So as far as don't knock it til you try it goes? I did. And coukdnt be happier selling that **** and getting back to my android powered devices.
I guess it's nice to see something objective and mature on the site.
Personally, the only thing that really, really, REALLY keeps me far away from any Apple device is the requirement that I use an iTunes account. I don't want to touch iTunes at all. You couldn't make me touch it with a ten foot pole.
You can edit videos just fine on Android, and as far as sending them, forget compression, upload it to dropbox and text the link to ur friends for download. This is way better because it'll be higher quality.
Or you could upload straight to YouTube, or Picasa, or send in an email, I'm not seeing the difficulty here.

Not to sound like a douche but I think just about every smart phone has all those pros.
+1 very mature post.
I've stayed away from iPhone ever since I traded in my iPhone 4 for the inc2 and never looked back. As op stated, the ios is getting old fast. With hardly any major updates besides copying androids pull down notifications and now a bigger yet awkward resolution screen.
IPhone is a great phone for someone like my elderly mother, or a teenage girl. But not for me

That's why I am saying that I wish android could make a change and make it to where android could recognize another android device and send a full hd video you just recorded to another android device. Only thing I wish I had still. Why would you want to wait for a 30 sec hd video you upload, then send the link when you could have just sent it as an mms. That's a small gripe but an iPhone can send a full hd video to another iPhone without compressing it. It shows up crystal clear. Doesn't take a long time. Not arguing, I know there are other ways. I just prefer the simplest method.

Never noticed that. I sent a few 10 to 15 sec vids back and forth without any issues to my sister-in-law. Maybe that's for a larger video dunno. Don't have the phone anymore.
Last gripe was iTunes. That store is very confusing to navigate. Not as intuitive as play store with a search at the top.

That is a huge downside to the iPhone, can't download apps over like 5 mb, music, videos, or really anything else on 3g.

I've been saying this for a while. Android needs an iMessage competitor because quite frankly, iMessage is genius. Android also needs better battery life and I was glad to hear that 4.2 or whatever will have improvements but I was sad to see nothing about a universal messaging app. There's 4 messaging apps for gods sake.

It needs to be integrated into the messaging app like iMessage and also the default way to send messages to other phones, again like iMessage

Yeah if they could incorporate it into the SMS app and have it use phone numbers it would be a competitor.

They need to make it better. It hasn't really changed it all and it could use some features like:
-integration into one app(sms/mms/gtalk/google+)
-integration of phone number so it'll know who your texting and make it free
-full Emoji support. (4.1 only has black and white android emojis)
-more
Gtalk is nice but, it lacks features.

Apps over somewhere around 20 mb require WiFi, ill have to double check the exact size limit.
You can download music videos and other files without that limit. You can also stream media as long as you want.

OP you did a nice job with the post I think. I agree with you. I really love Android, and it all depends on what the user needs. I'm pretty hardcore into Android, I also have a 4S I carry next to my rezound. They each have their strong points. My iPhone is bone stock and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah I wasn't trying to dog anything. Just bring up some of my interpretations.
If gtalk could check the number and allow mms they could have imessage by the balls imo
emmhmm androids messaging apps (all of them) need to be completely overhauled. basically the only thing I prefer on iOS.
