It seems amazing to me that all these so called reviewers and basically smashing the 3d basically bc those don't like it...it a feature..not the whole phone..don't they realize you don't need to use it ..Sam biddle on gizmodo say "why buy a 3d phone if your not gonna use the 3d?" Seems ignorant to me..I havnt seen anything about gpu performance besides benchmarks..how about how apps are playing and smoothness of games etc...these reviews are solely based on their dislike of the 3d feature with an added.."its really fast" thrown in there..its frustrating...I feel like all these people are so stuck on the gs2 that they can't allow another phone to compete..I'm tired of the 3d being compared to a phone that hasn't been officially announced in the us..its bs...I'm.gonna make a phone company and all I Need is to make sure my phone has the best benchmarks and bright screen and all the fanboys will love it regardless of quality/usability
YEah well IT's okay because the GSII cant even touch the HTC SUPER AWESOME SUPERNOVA QUAZAR. Rumor has it it's a 8 core phone that will be hitting the selves August 20th Just in time for back to school. But neither HTC nor sprint will confirm that this phone exist , But It's rumored to be awesome!

get off your high horse...it's advertised as the first 3D phone. It may be a gimmick, but to a lot of consumers they will see it as the newest and latest technology and then when they buy it and the 3D suck balls they are going to QQ like how you guys are doing right now about the reviews.

Now is this the 5" screen version or the 15" tablet that transform into a 5" screen Super AMOLEd Qhd Screen phone when needed? I'm holding out for the transforming tablet myself.
Just because I head the straight phone version only has a 245mp Camera, but with so so sensors. but the tablet has 4 zillion MP camera but no one is sure about the sensors yet. But I'm sure it'll be better because it has more MP's.

Hello,
The majority of Reviews have been completely vapid. What seems so strange to me is that much like 3D HDTVs, where the vast majority of what is displayed and available is in 2D yet AV Reviewers do not bash these TV's based on the 3D experience.
I consider the 3D aspect to simply be a value added feature. With far more horsepower under the hood than the 4G and the same Sense 3.0 that got almost unanimous raves when the Sensation was Reviewed seems to be a complete afterthought to many of these Reviewers.
It is also strange that almost every Review took place in the NYC Metro Area which makes it difficult to gauge how 3G and Cellular Reception is going to be elsewhere.
And finally, whereas the 4G got amazing word of mouth by being given away at a Google Developers Conference, the 3D appears to be just released to the usual cadre of Reviewers many of whom seemed to have an ax to grind.
Cheers,
JJ

Have you had a chance to try this phone for a day or more? If not, why do you think the reviewers have an ax to grind? Why do so many others think that they have an ax to grind? It's not like they all say that every HTC phone is junk. It's not like most of us have even had the phone in hand. I just don't get it....
For now, I'm going to have to go with the reviewers thoughts and check this phone out before I order.... I don't care about the 3D feature, but I've seen more then a reviewer say the call quality isn't there and for me, call quality is the #1 issue on a phone....after all it is a phone. My 2nd issue is the camera and it's not looking good from that aspect either. 3rd is the locked bootloader. If HTC didn't have such good build quality and support, I probably wouldn't want this phone so bad.... Damn you HTC!!!

Nope... if we continue to wait for the next big thing in technology, how can we ever enjoy any of it? The evolution of phones is moving very fast... as soon as you get your hands on this new 1.4 ghz phone they will be releasing notes on the even newer 2ghz phone of the future.... I am excited to get my hands on this device and will hold on to it until my next upgrade is available, gives me something to look forward to without having to focus on each new thing out there!
There's already quad core phones coming out by q4 2011.

If the phone just came out buy it no need to wait especially if you have upgrades every year. If the phone has been out for more than 6 months then I'd look at what's out on the horizon.

I can agree that if we just keep waiting for the "NEXT BIG THING," we'll never really get a chance to enjoy what's now. Think of it this way, you have a phone that's less than a week old, so you're doing pretty good. Will this phone last for a while? Sure, I think it will. But this is coming from me, who just upgraded from a HERO. So, I think I can hold onto this phone until my next upgrade (1 year from June 24th.)

I can say quite positively that you added nothing to this post, and only took away from it. Maybe it was not "smart" or "high quality", but you just decreased the intelligent level of the conversation. Thank you for that.
I agree with everyone. I am not a tech junkie, I don't have to have the best of the best. I am a graduate student in neurology. I also have a lot a bit of experience in computer programming. I actually used my Org Evo to interface with research equipment and analysis data. Well the software we use continues to advance and demands better phones. So I am just trying to future proof myself in that area. I am trying to make sure the phone's hardware is all that it is suppose to be. If my original evo was up to par, I would still be using that.
I believe that it is. I honestly believe, based off an in depth talk with a gentleman whose entire career is based on developing microchips like the one we see in our phones. He is adamant that the newest generation of qualcomm (spelling) processors are the best he has seen in a phone this far.
Anyway, that combined with the reputation HTC has, the 3vo seems like a great bet.
lol, this is the age old question for tech Buy something that just came out, or wait for something better coming out later
If you go with the attitude to wait, then why not wait forever and get nothing I mean lets say you hold off on the EVO-3D, and wait for the slightly better Galaxy S2, but don't get that the Nexus-4.0 will be even better than the Galaxy S2, but wait, the Nexus-4.0 will be trumped by the best yet Galaxy S3 due next spring per Samsung, but wait the Galaxy S3 will be outdone by the EVO-Three.
What if while waiting for the next best thing, you get killed in a car wreck tomorrow, thus never enjoying the cool tech we have right here, right now.
Oh yeah, the words "Future Proof" lol uh no such thing...
To the OP -
What people have said in this thread makes perfect sense. If you wait for THOSE phones there will be even better ones around the corner in the future too. So you would simply be right back in the same situation.
I can see the 3vo being the 2nd legit 22 month phone. the og Evo being the 1st.
Like others have said you can't keep waiting or you'll never get. As for a 1.4 dual. Meh what's it really going to do that your 1.2's can't do? well outside of increase your penis size in a pissing match. Heck thats about all the quad cores are going to do too.
phones are advancing too fast. there is hardly anything out there that will take full advantage of the dual core phones. i think getting the 3vo would be fine because it will take a bit before developers catch up with it and by then you'll be due for an upgrade.
will be returning evo 3D. Its no diff from EVO 4G besides the 3D and the dual core. waiting for samsung gs2 or Motorola Photon.

Yeah the QHD screen, the better form factor on the body of the phone, double the ram, 4 times the internal storage (this will matter a lot more when we have root and custom roms), the actual camera button, the newer build, second microphone for noise cancelling. You're right the Evo 4G had all of those.
only thing thats making me more and more want to return the phone is..
its not that I don't believe HTC will unlock the phone...
its how many good Dev's are we losing in the meantime?
Is it just me but i'm envying all the Epic touch owners. I now feel like my 3d is 2nd rate only after owning it for 2 months
It's called hype. They both pretty much on par with one another spec wise except the 3D has 3d and a higher resolution screen. Remember that iphone hype you resisted when you got a 3D it's the same thing
Don't worry about it.. next week you'll have a third tier phone the way this industry is speeding up haha.
I'm sure the SGSII is great and I want one... I'll probably end up buying on when they starting popping up on Craigslist so that I can check out Samsung's phones (I've always had HTC). Your phone is great... and really not too much different

yep, just you. we have the best phone htc can make and the benchmark for every other company. this is the same thing that happend when the droid x came out when i had the og evo. i didnt miss anything with it and i wont miss anything with my 3d. both phones will do the same thing, o nevermind the sg2 cant do 3d lol. i guess they are stuck with a 2d pixilated version.

yeah ive had the sg2 for about 4 months now(unlocked version of course) but there was just something telling me that i wanted a evo 3d so as soon as the gsm version was available i jumped on it my thoughts were as follows i was going to have both of them one day i would put the sim card in one and the next day switch back to the other one. the sg2 has a beautiful screen and even though it views 1080p video which when playing you cant really tell that the 3d has a higher resolution. it has 16gb internal and i have a 32 gb sd card, so i got movies galore, no music though since i dont beleive in cd's anymore all the music is on my 32gb iphone 4 lol. now back on subject to me it was a win win situation, the best of both worlds ive had my 3d for about a month now and long story short sim card has been in it everyday. trust me you're not missing anything
I felt like that when the epic came out, got one and wanted to kick myself in the ass for doing so. The epic touch is cool now but in a couple of months when updates start rolling out and the forums are full of pissed off touch owners at no updates you'll be glad you have HTC. It could be different this time but I'm leaning towards not. Anyways my 2 cents
from my 333dddeeevvvooo
I played with the Epic Touch, and I can say I prefer the Evo 3D. QHD >>>>>> HDPI. The screen on the touch feels so bloated with the huge icons and fonts. Plus, my god, you can see the pixels. It's downright ugly. The Amoled is nice, but it's not worth it for that loss of resolution.
Exactly! The screen may be more vibrant but I would take 3D and QHD over better colors any day.
I played with the ET4G for a few hours yesterday when my bf picked one up, its not noticeably better or "lightyears" ahead like some are claiming. I couldn't even tell the difference speed wise. All I know is my 3D actually feels like a high end device, the Epic Touch feels like cheap plastic. Speakers were definitely better but the resolution and feel was a deal breaker for me. He returned it for another 3D.
I'm glad I got to try it out but I would have regretted trading for one. I'll wait for the Nexus or something.

Oh get a grip. They're both great phones and they both have issues to one degree or another.
If you're the type that likes keeping up with Android and are only content with the latest and greatest.You may wan't to make some more money and buy the phones as they drop every month or two.No way you will keep up and be happy on subsidized deals...
Dont go chasing Android waterfalls my friend.
i kinda felt the same when the epic came out when i had the evo 4g but then saw samsung pretty much abandon them so im not worried i wont buy a samsung phone until they prove they can update the phones they release.
Of course you're envying that sht...that's because it's a new high end phone and you don't have it. Just ignore it.

Pretty much this. 2-4 months from now, those Epic Touch owners will be making threads like "Anyone feeling the (insert phone model here) blues?" It's never going to end. That's why I love xda and its devs and helpful people here. Always something different you can do to your phone

The 3VO is still the one of the best phones out there and in 2 weeks there will probably be a new phone out there that's even better than the epic touch.
I still don't understand all the hype surrounding the Epic Touch 9 months after it has been released to the rest of the world; I'm not a fan of any specific phone brand, but there is a certain quality to the hardware and software of the EVO 3D that is only matched by he iPhone.
To me, the Epic touch with its plastic body and fisher-price interface feels cheap despite its great hardware.
I have no reception issues with my phone, I love the form factor and the resolution, and it's blazing fast.
its a nice phone but im not a fan of touchwiz and with that big of a screen i would have like to seen it be qHD resolution.

I was surprised at how different the One X and my EVO LTE are...
My brother is an iPhone fanboy, but chose the One X to expose himself for a while to Android. I thought that would be a nice phone for exposure, at least. But, upon looking at his phone and trying to root it for him, I was really not turned on by the phone at all.
ATT Bloatware everywhere
It felt cheap, made of plastic
It was strangely light (a light phone to me just feels cheap... I like some weight)
The One X apparently doesn't support google wallet? I don't know if this is an ATT limitation or if the phone lacks the secure aspect of the NFC chip. But this surprised me.
Also, my brother has ~80gb of mp3s, which is not possible to hold with the One X. So I directed him to google play music manager, and he was turned off by having to play music through the clouds, as they say.
Particularly a hassle to root/unlock (I believe ATT is to blame?)
Oh, and I say my brother HAD a One X, because he has since said he is sticking to his iPhone.
I was surprised at how much I didn't care for the One X and at how large the gap between the One X and the EVO LTE is. The EVO is a finely crafted and well thought out phone. I don't know if the credit goes to Sprint for specifying what the EVO LTE must have, or if that was HTC's part, but it really is a higher quality phone. Be proud
What're your thoughts, if you have had the chance to play with both and compare the two?
:highfive:
Well to be fair, this is the third generation of the EVO. The og EVO was still the best first release device on any carrier in my opinion.
If att keeps the one x as a device to build on, I would think it will improve by its third generation. But I agree, the casing to me speaks volumes about quality and where the og stood on the shoulders of others.
I'm sure they have other qualities that are solid but the EVO is really the only HTC device I will ever be interested in. Can't wait until next spring to see if they bring a 4th gen edition.
Sent from my ClassicJewel
I was able to talk my brother into the one x from a 3gs and he hasn't really complained much. I haven't had the oppurtunity to play with it myself though. He's used to 8gb so I think he'll be happy with 16.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I think Sprint specified these differences between the two phones. While it may be a "3rd Generation EVO," it's still considered a One-series phone. Sprint wouldn't have had the One X without making it different from everyone else. Sprint knows that customers still need expandable storage. They knew the kickstand missing from the EVO 3D was a big let down, so they brought it back. And obviously, the battery... With unlimited data on their network, they need a bigger battery for those heavy users (not fat people). And obviously, the casing needed to be it's own look. Everything else on the inside is One-series, even down to the screen. I like the casing to the One X phone, but you're right, it does feel cheap compared to my EVO.
I'm happy that we got something that no one else could get with the One X, but maintained it's core details (processor, RAM, screen, GPU, etc.).
*Foot in mouth*
Replying to post that was edited. Ignore this.
SD card. We have it, the One X doesn't.
EVO LTE > One X
Sent from my HTC Evo LTE
The differences are mostly superficial aside from the sd card slot and kickstand that do add utility. The bloatware can always be removed after rooting. The fact that it's difficult is normal, just look how long s-off took on the evo lte.
Also keep in mind that the AT&T network reigns supreme compared to Sprint's. The only negative being no unlimited data. I started keeping track of how much I consume and it's general not more than 2-3 gigs a month. Most of the consumption came from cloud streaming services. Pandora and navigation on the other hand don't take up too much bandwidth. So I figure even with tethering and performing essential tasks, you don't need more than 5.
I do agree though it's nice to have unlimited, especially if you're on the road a lot and stream a lot of video (Netflix). However most of that is pretty much impossible to do with Sprint's abysmal 3G speeds. The only reason I stayed was because I'm betting on Sprint's LTE to be decently good. That and the cost aspect. You do get what you pay for though and if money weren't an issue AT&T would be the choice to go with.
If i were on AT&T I would get the unlocked GNex from the playstore instead of a OneX or iphone. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Sense fan, however the unlocked GNex doesn't have anyone getting in the way of OS updates (ahem, Sprint and EVO 3D). I'm happy with Sprint, I got WiFi at work and at home to hold me over until we get LTE in Los Angeles.

I agree..although I used to think aosp was ugly I find myself now a little envious of the gnex even knowing I have superior hardware..these jumps in firmware are very hard to distinguish with a heavy sense overlay..vanilla android has matured and I think the need for skins has diminished..although it seems OEMs are going in the opposite direction..why can't we have a device like the LTE running vanilla..it would be sick..and my next device certainly will be the nexus variety provided sprint doesn't wait 6 months after initial release to drop it..ie galaxy nexus
I think that the GNex is a great phone.
But I won't mind waiting for a good, plain Android to come later while I enjoy this awesome screen earlier.
Looking forward to a nice CM or AOKP, and meanwhile using the Nova launcher and laying out my apps and widgets.
I don't know about others, but I am not liking every Google decision, e.g., notification and ringtone volume locked together.
There's a lot about Sense that doesn't suck at all, the Clock app, Mail, the settings layout, and a few other things.
Imo.

Geez, I thought it was light-hearted comedy.
What the thread title reads. I Idk wht the heck is wrong with me. It for some reason I'm sort of wanting to jump ship to tmobile for the HTC amaze 4g despite the fact that the phone is a generation older (1.5ghz s3 with adreno 220) although it does have 4.0.3 and sense 3.6. There's just certain things I liked better. Phone fit my hand better, the camera focused a bit better (though this phone takes better pictures and audio/video, and you have to fight with the focus sometimes). What's stopping me from actually doing this is the fact it's tmobile. I their hspa+ 4g isn't bad by any means but their coverage is... Well worse than sprint. I in fact I believe it's the worst coverage of any carrier. I had the amaze 4g for about 5 days then decided I wanted the evo4glte. I'm torn as to what to do because there are aspects I liked in each of the phones...s thoughts? Suggestions?

For creating this thread... Yes, please. Jump ship.
I can see that your parents did a stellar job teaching you manners, how to be friendly, and not saying anything if you have nothing nice to say at all.
Here's a dissection of your post.
Pros-fits in hand better, focuses better.
Cons-terrible signal, Sense 3.6, S3 processor, worse picture quality, worse audio/video.
Now I'll add a few more cons (things you didn't say):
Cons: probably not getting JB as quick, worse screen, you won't get Sprint's LTE thats coming to Chicago in September, worse battery life, less development, no kickstand, and you won't be able to play stupid music in unison with a group of like 50 people and then put the phone over your mouth and have it look like your phone is your mouth...
But seriously, you've had both phones... You likely should know which you prefer. And judging by your own post, there's way more in favor of this one.

Don't forget about that 3.2mp camera. WITH AUTOFOCUS!?! SOLD!
Sometimes when I see the EVO 4G LTE commercial with them playing music, I want to jump ship. God, I despise that commercial. Actually, the ONE X commercial with the dude jogging is pretty horrible too.

I suggest you do what is best for you, don't ask complete strangers about what you should do. Your first thought and instinct is most likely the right one so follow your gut.

Haha yeah, HTC obviously isn't marketing to the fraction of their customer base who have brains and can make informed decisions of which device to purchase...They are going for those apple customers who are ready to jump ship.
So let the debating begin, again
Whats the point of having a phone that can't fully be unlocked and you can't flash a kernal to it if you unlock it the HTC way? my g/f iphone is unlocked and I use hotspots on it and numerous other things on it.. I have played with the EVO LTE and I'm more impressed with GS3 im not impressed with EVO LTE after playing around with one and they can't even bundle a set of beats ear buds and they own half the company.. so lets be patient and see what HTC have up there sleeve on the 19th of september, I need to be impressed and get that wow effect or so long HTC and andriod.. Not to mention the resale value of the iphone is pretty good, got offered $150.00 for my g/f unlocked iphone4, got offered free to recycle for my OG EVO 4g unlocked and ready for flashing BTW.. I see more pros than cons in comparison.. Im not putting my credit card info on my phone to begin with do nfc is a hit or miss with me.. And the aftermarket support is going to be redunkuless as with all iphones of the past.. And im sure that if a iphone 5s comes out next summer that the resale for the iphone 5 is going to still be a pretty penny.. and face unlock im sure as apple say's there's a app for that apple updates thru there ios so any new features will probably be updated that way to the device thats compatible with it, I was able to find siri for the iphone 4 but the processeser couldn't handle her she's a bad mutherflucker .. And I dont think anything compares to siri at this point when you can have a convo with your phone and it is smart enough to answer you back how can you top that? Even the gs3 tried to copy but couldn't compare to siri, and google invented speech to text and talk and got surpassed by apple, should I start on the video chat I use tango and qik alot as I got two brothers in the army and my family is in SC and i'm just outside of NYC so I think if anyone happened to see facetime chat on the iphone and then saw qik or tango then the two put together still wouldn't compare to facetime.. So HTC please impress me the 19 of september if not so long Andriod... Please lets keep this civilized and respect one another.. everyone is entitled to there own opinion and just cause you or I think one way doesn't mean someone else is not going to take a detour.. Its america after all freedom of speech is what I pay taxes for and what 8 billion other people living in america pay taxes for..

Wow...just wow, that turned into a pro iPhone rant pretty quickly, not that I mind, but just for the record there is no problem flashing a kernel with any of the lte hboots you can fastboot, install from android like flash image allows you to do, or use HTC dumlock and flash like normal
you seem sold on the iphone, why hesitate then? go get it and buy into the hype, the funny thing is, Apple is just now doing what Android has been doing for awhile now. as far as jail broken iphones, I put it like this to a coworker that happens to be an iphone sheep, a jail broken iphone gives you the ability to do with an iphone what you can do with an Android right out of the box basically lol. my wifes iphone is jail broken and honestly Im not really impressed.
In before lock...
My wife will be getting the iPhone 5 next month, I will continue to use android. To each their own...both phones are well suited for their respective markets. Not sure why there's always so much debate about which is better.
Sent from my EVO LTE
The most common misconception I hear from iPhone users is that android is too complicated, what so hard about pushing a picture of a phone book for contacts, a picture of an envelope for email, a picture of a clock for time etc. Then because I more then likely know that person I will eventually hear sh*t how did I do that last time as they scour through their iPhone
From the specs I'm seeing on the i5, it's only got a 4.0" screen. The discussion is pretty much over for me right there. I see no good reason to give up the bigger screen of the EvoLTE to get into the iCollective. The iPhone will not do anything my Android phones can't do, at least nothing I care about. The Android phone gives me more options. Really, it's only a question of which Android phone to me. We had the S3, but it was not as easy to use as the HTC and had odd issues. So now we have 3 of the EvoLTE's, and everything is good.
Go to phonescoop.com and compare the two. Go to youtube and watch the video of siri vs. Google now. Go to amazon and see the lte is 129 on contract right now. And you'll be able to sell this phone for hundreds still next year to someone who doesn't want to extend their contract.
I just got this bad mf free because my 3d broke so best buy gave me this because the 3d was on backorder. Gettin it tomorrow.
Hey when it comes to finding pictures of stallions siri rocks android

And before some one tries to say its rigged most of the cast and crew admit to being biased towards iPhone, last I checked only 2 of them actually had android phones

Its not that I'm against it, its just a subpar device when compared to other devices that have been out for months. There is not a single thing the 5 has that we don't. On phonescoop the only thing the 5 says it has that we don't is adjustable text size, but we all know we can adjust it. Yes im getting it tomorrow from best buy.
Edit: I'm at work ill be home in 2 hours and ill post it. I watched it last night actually. The guy has the 4s and a galaxy nexus side by side and he presses both buttons at the same time and asks a question. Zero bias and google now is simply faster. Also, he has them both connected to wifi so its not like he's on 4g on the nexus and 3g on the iphone.
Gonna check the developement forum and see what the developement is like

as promised: Siri vs. Google Search (Jelly Bean)
I prefer app judgment's test because siri screws up pretty badly and the majority of them are biased iPhone users
I'm no matter what gonna say HTC EVO 4G LTE been a proud user of HTC products for 3 years now
