One week till launch! Too many iPhone fan boys clogging the xda threads and trying to trash this phone . Dual core, sense 3.0, qHD screen , 1gb of RAM , 4gb internal . That is one beast ass phone. Oh and it does 3D just for giggles. With the devs here at xda this phone will by far exceed everyone's expectations .
BTW you don't I repeat don't have to use 3D its not a gimmick or the whole purpose just a simple feature way too many people are trying to say it is bad.
I'm excited for my first dual core!

Word! Ten chars
Thank you sir. I was getting tired of reading all these negative reviews. Can't wait to pick this up on Friday after work!
Agreed, what's the point of listening to people that have actually used the phone and have provided a critical assessment! No. I'd much rather read off the spec sheet and declare it AWESOME.
Hey, did you see the new Steve Carell movie?
Yes, it was just meh!
OMFG! It was awesome! You are so biased!!1
Did you see it?
No, but the movie poster was hot and the trailer was amazing!

No reason to be a smartass. You don't like it, don't get it. The phone itself will be real solid, the 3d might not be, but why concentrate solely on that?

I been on my Instinct since 5 months ago since my Hero was destroyed :/. Anything is better than that so I wont be disappointed with the Evo 3D.
Awesome indeed!!!
I was fortunate enough to pick up an HTC seed unit last night and let tell you. THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!!
Not even talking about the 3d... which upon first encounter was a bit tricky to get used to, but after shooting over 50 pictures/videos there's a science to getting it right.
The power of this phone lies in the dual core processor, the "super lcd" display, and updated software makes the phone run like a dream.
I was actually not very excited for this phone. I left android for WP7. (say what you may, but I use my phone a lot for work.) I can happily say the Evo 3d has brought me back into the fold...
But in short.. it's definately worth the wait!
What was your impression of the 2D pic quality (in relation to
4g?
Thanks

Honestly, the 2D picture quality is comprable to the Evo. I had a buddy take a picture of the exact same thing side by side on his Evo 4G. The quality is identical... unless you go full zoom on both devices, in which case the 4G is a winner, but not by a huge margin.
My biggest problem with the camera is the dedicated camera button. It is auto-focuses on light pressure and snaps the picture on the full press. It may just be because I have an otterbox case on it, but I find myself pushing so hard that I make the picture out of focus. Not a major gripe, as I'm learning to have a bit more... "finese" with the camera button. Ironically, I find the dedicated camera button to be EXTREMELY handy aside from my lack of initial nimbleness with it. Here are a few random 2D pictures I took if anyone wants to compare for themselves... and yes, very random pictures, I'm at work and don't have a lot to photograph..
Old Navy sign is no zoom / full zoom from the exact same distance. No zoom picture of a dairy queen cup... yup... I know...

After all the reviews that were good and bad, I always said this:
The is no better Review than your own Review. Becuase you will notice if the phone is really what you want.
So for thoose who recivied the phone today or will get the phone today. Let's start this tread..
Ps. My phone just got the destination scan so my review will be later today.
The phone is truly awesome. I think any company or organization that gave this phone a bad review should be ashamed of themselves. If Engadget truly gave this phone a bad review then they are a waste. I will never read any of their reviews again. Its is everything I thought it would be and more. The 3D photos are amazing. Love it!

It's all relative though. Of course everyone on this forum is going to love this phone. We are all paying hard earned money to purchase this product. Engadget receives these devices for free, and aren't really partial towards the Evo 3D.
Not true... I have no "bias" I want it to be awesome sure, but if its not ill just take it back and wait.

the battery life absolutely sucks on this one. What do they expect, everybody to get spare batteries or extended batteries that make the phone look like a pregnant sumbitch. Totally disappointed with 4g data too. Never having owned a 4G device on sprint before, I was hoping to see a nice speed boost but the speeds are barely any improvement. 3D is wonderful, not as good as the 3D on my samsung 3DTV, but looks better than the 3DS. since its for my wife, I guess I will keep it. If it was for me, it would have been on its way back.

If you don't like it, you must be totally biased. Users here only want reviews that worship the phone. C'mon... get with the program.
Comparing with my thunderbolt, the synth. benchmarks all have the TB getting better scores. But thats probably because I have it o/cd at 1.4Ghz. I have a sense 3.0 rom on the TB, which seems smoother than the UI on the Evo 3d, but that may be just me!!!

I would definitely say it's because you have it o/cd. However, comparing Sprint's 4G Network to Verizon's LTE is like comparing apples to steak.

NOT true because with the sprint guarantee we get all our monies back
Going to give my first impressions. Phone seems longer than the OG Evo. Battery cover is kind of annoying, thought I was going to break it. 3D camera actually works pretty well. Played some 3D Spiderman and was impressed with it. Accidentally hit the home button while playing and it kicked me back to the home screen, but without disabling 3D so the UI was freaking out and trying to display 3D. Will edit with more as I use it
I think I read that tvs that switch to 3d draw almost twice as much power, so the battery is no surprise, interested in 2d battery life, how long it lasts with normal use.
Uhh, hardly. Many 3D fanboys were whining: "don't have opinions based on phone site reviews cause 'yours is the only one that counts''...bull**** of course.
SO..here's exactly that: a thread for those with the device to post their 'real world's impressions'.
Lets hear 'em.

I'd like to wait for the SGSII but I fear that it won't come out for a while. I don't think I can wait until the holidays to upgrade my phone. Sprint doesn't normally put out a bunch of high-powered phones at the same time. I think the Evo 3d and the Photon (or whatever it's called) is going to be it for a while. The Photon is out for me because of the locked bootloader.
Meaning what? I expect it to "suck" so U might as well say it?!
I've had HTC phones for over 11 years. Huge fan. I'm the oldest HTC "fanboy" here. What are you talking about?
My point is we have too many forum Nazi's.
I have more of a democratic forum view: open market on views and idea's (def.: forum).
Am I dissaponted HTC hasn't upgraded some things? Yeah! Do I care whether or not that's popular? Ratsass. Same thing I tell my kids: lock into truth first. No filters.
Idiocy= on a Evo 3d forum, is saying a thread where people can give their view of the Evo 3D is WORTHLESS!

Well i thought this phone was gonna be epic, which it really isnt that bad, just i feel as if htc really really skipped out on the quality of this phone, people taking phones back 3 or 4 times is just unacceptable, and all of these bugs in the software are ridiculous, from bad signal strength to wake locks, dead pixels and just careless quality issues like dust under the screen and in the cameras, just wish htc would of taken more time to get this one right since its such a fast and highly anticipated phone! My trust and reliability in htc has been lowered due to this product!

I haven't had one single issue with my phone that you referred to. But to be honest those issues happen to all phones when first released. There are always bad phones that get released first. Oh well ish happens....
I love the phone, and the fact that they #TEAMWIN just verified the 3D to be overclocked to 1.7 ghz with no unlocked bootloader is just a small hint of what this phone is about to become. SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats.....thanks for the unnecessary post. Take the phone back if you want.
Also, keep in mind that a lot of the people returning the phones are OCD about things typical people would never notice (most people here, including myself are).
The construction is great compared to any other phone. Compare it to the SGS2. Yes we have dead pixels, and etc. But the SGS2 has the same things, and even more (tinted screen, gps, massive over heating, etc).
All phones have problems. That is the result of an customizable, open system like android. Companies cannot catch everything in their testing. If you want a nearly (again, nearly, not perfect) phone upon release...then get an iphone and leave us be with our initially bug, but eventually awesome, killer phones we call androids.

I too was expecting to be blown away since I was coming from a samsung epic. After only a few days with my first HTC phone, I really don't know what the big deal is. Yeah ok the phone is 3d, but after a few pictures and video, I havnt used it at all. The phone is heavy like a brick compared to my epic. The screen doesn't have fighting chance against the epic, but it is sharper. I just have a feeling the galaxy s 2 will blow away this phone in every way. One thing I do like about this phone is I'm in love with sense 3.0

First of all don't use the word "epic" when talking about an htc device. It's just not right!
Joking aside some people have bad luck with phones and I am sure there are bad batches of every device no matter who makes it. I hear people talking about dead pixels and bugs everytime a new device comes out. I have never had any major issues with any of my HTC devices I have ever owned. I love this thing more everyday I have it. Call me an htc fanboy if u will but there is a reason I always go with HTC.

Your view on the screen is exactly that, only your view. I personally, after comparing the evo3d to a friend's SGS2, prefer everything about the evo 3d. The screen resolution is awesome, and the colors are very accurate. I compared both phones to a color calibrated monitor. All three devices had the same picture. The evo3d looked just like the monitor....while the SGS2 look grossly oversaturated.
Here is a perfect example. I use my phone to view a lot of images taken with fluorescent microscopes. If I view the picture on my evo3d...it looks perfect. If we view it on my buddies SGS2...the picture is completely unreadable/you can't make an conclusion about your data.
In terms of the rest of the phone...I have posted this page before.
http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...1661-dual-core-beasts-the-decision-to-buy-one
Maybe I seem like a fanboy. But I have used and researched both phones. They both are awesome! But I prefer the evo 3d.
Should have saved your .02 !!
Samsung FTW...... oh wait, what is today? HTC day? Ok sorry.... HTC FTW!!
It really depends on the flavor of the week. Im sticking with my 3D. Ive liked HTC products since they were known as UTStarcom (Apache days).
Hello,
I still think it is far to early in the game to really know any definitive answers about the true potential of the 3VO as the overwhelming majority of Software out there does not take advantage of the Dual Core's of the 3D.
In time, this phone will be fully Rooted and there will also be Software that takes greater advantage of the 3D's Processing Capabilities.
In the mean time, there is far more Memory on the 3D over the 4G, a higher resolution Screen, Sense 3.0 (I realize some do not care for Sense, but I do), and more.
I really think for whatever reason that after some Professional Reviews took a negative take on this Phone, many people have seen the worst in the Phone. All I can say is that if you are not happy, by all means Return it. I personally think it to be a mistake, but it is your money. And with Samsung, they are slow in Releasing Android OS Updates, so while the new Galaxy might be compelling, all is not perfect there.
Cheers,
JJ

Well I didnt what to get into details, cause I dont have my EVO long enough. But right out the box, I feel like the epic screen is much better. Also the EVO feels much heavier. I also didn't feel the difference between processors.
My lcd is tilted. I went in to exchange it and the new phone had a tilted lcd and a dead pixel. Obviously I kept the first one. I haven't had any software issues and this thing runs like a dream. It does suck that there are these hardware issues but it doesn't seen like there are more issues than with most phones that are released. My wife for instance is on her 5th epic 4G and I am taking it into Sprint tonight to have it looked at for another issue..

Seriously, you are in your 30 day window.....return the 3D and get your epic back....We don't care if you liked your epic screen better.....so take the 3D back and go away....why do people insist in stupid posts like this....I don't go into the epic forum and brag about how much better my phone is.....(maybe I should start) but I am not a troll.
Hopefully this will get you going
Wow, this guy was actually wrong on a lot of little issues.
"all this working on 1 core"
really?
"metal rocker buttons"
no, very clearly plastic.
"Sprint apps can be uninstalled"
Not REALLY.. uninstalling (without root) only hides the icon, the app is still there, and possibly running.
aside from that and his inability to not say "umm.." and toss the phone around like it was dead fish it wasn't bad.
And yeah, the battery door is kindof a huge pain in the ass. lol

I think crap about bloatware is overblown, no the sprint apps are not secretly running in the background wasting your battery. Seriously yes it should not be there, yes I would delete them the first chance I get, but I never think that they are wasting my battery in the background, they are never under running apps in the task manager, so no they are not secretly running, get over it.

Chris Chavez is, like, the chodiest (yeah, I did) person alive. Between his stupid hair and his terrible video cuts (which he tries to hide with his 'intentonal cuts') he is the last straw for Phandroid. I think this dude simply started out as a YouTube fanboy. If it is that easy to snag some bull**** job on a site, well, I should follow suit.
Dude is 'barely' relevant and so is the site. How much late **** are they gonna jump on? That task killer video two weeks ago? FFS. This is the most annoying Android Rep / hype of them all.
I, hereby, dub this joker; Chodey Chavez.

welp, since we are in the mood to hate...I agree !
oh and 'Chodey Chavez' had me laughing
I was able to watch a minute and 36 seconds of that crap video before I stopped it. He comes across as a tweaker and I don't mean with his phone. Maybe he is ADD. I don't know or care LOL. I think a three year old could have dont a better job editing the vid.
uhg who decided this guy was good at reviews he needs to lay off the blow! or meth. and WHAT THE **** HIS VOICE CRACKLING? AND HE CANT TALK LOL ssssttuutter muuchh..5 minutes in still no info.... haha. being a retard and not able to take a battery cover off is so frustrating lol. he must be on vzw payrole and thunderbolt feels cheap and like a knock off.
can i sue for 20 minutes of my life wasted from this tweeky weird ****? he uses the 3d function a lot probally to film him and his bf ****ing lol
I have to say up until yesterday I never understood the whole "viewing angles" thing until I played wings of.steel which is controlled by tilting the screen..it was pretty hard to see at times..still love my EVO tho
Worst review I have ever seen... Not plastic...? LOL My 3 year old daughter knows it's made of plastic!
Haha, nah he's a good guy.
Why are you nerds full of hate? The review was alright... No need to get so anal about something as trivial as a cellphone review.

Exactly it was more of a joke than anything else. Sorry if people get upset over it.

I'm on my 3rd phone and I think its good... Knock on wood. If this phone has problems I might ***** and complain for a GS2 or even a Photon. Though I actually love the 3D and would hate to loose it. I don't use it much but when I do it's still shockingly cool, especially to other people.

Yeah I love this phone. My first one only lasted a week before the screen stopped festering touch right where the e key is so I traded it for a new one and now everything is all good.

I already jumped the evo3d ship, ill post a thread bashing the phone later on.

What's wrong with a little positive?
Lol.... Kinda the reason why I posted the thread I did. Just wanted to make sure the devs here know I appreciate their work. They are the true backbones in the android world. Google had the idea first, but the devs over there unfortunately have to design it for everybody, not just us who like to tinker. So that's where communities like this one are so valuable, and why Linux/android was the best idea for smart phones since the smart phone was invented.... Everybody is happy.

Love this phone,development kicks ass,light leakage my ass and who cares,tilted screen? Tilt your head the other way! CM7!!!!!!

Let me put it this way.
Virtually every single issue I had with this phone was software related, and with the 2.3.4 update from HTC, almost all of them are gone.
This phone is great and from a software standpoint, it's almost there too.
HTC EVO 3D 9/10 and easily the best phone I've owned to date.
But then again, so was the EVO 4G and Touch Pro2.
HTC EVO 4G 8/10
HTC Touch Pro2 9.5/10 (while it scored higher, this was due to how awesome HTC Sense and Windows Mobile 6.1 were for me at the time and its worldphone capability. There was nothing I couldn't do with that phone.)

My evo3d has been perfect from day 1.
I never had to do a return, and any issues that I did have, like crummy 3g, etc., were solved after a little reading on my part...(not by taking the phone back six times). Do I have a dead pixel? I don't think so, but if you held a magnifying glass to my phone and told me that I did, I wouldn't be surprised...(same thing goes for my screen possibly being tilted by one pixel as well). I seriously do not get it when I see complaints like that. I don't measure the pixels on a new TV, nor do I measure the carpet trim under the doors when I buy a new car, to make sure the "shag ratio" is correct.
So yeah, I'm still loving every bit (pun intended) of my Evo3d.

hello, im thinking about buying this phone, but it's price is kinda suspicious to me, it has two cores, beautiful display, 1gig of ram, but is incredibly cheap in my country unlike other dual core phones, any reason why? thanks

Because it's successor is already released and on sale for 199.99
It's a Damn good phone, just considered the high end of the mid range at this point, because it's about a year old.

Because the EVO 3d is underrated. It does have good specs tho. If you're looking for a good cheap phone, the 3d is for you.
it has the best specs from one year ago, and has 3d video and playback, unlike nearly all phones. Great phone
It's like last year's car model when the new ones come out.
allright, thanks for all the answers, im getting it ^^
I personally wouldn't get it. But that's me. I've had huge stability issues with mine. But for the price it's nice. If your in the US though get the new evo.

If you are constantly watching 3D movies and stuff like me, it's worth it. It's the best android (for my uses) imo. The 3D is way better than going to the movies and its not massive like all the other phones now days. Fits nicely in the pocket. And when you get it, get the Acase Supperlaggera case for it, its only 6 bucks and the best case ihave come across. You won't be disappointed with the phone or that case, take my word

Sensation XE is going for about £250 now around here (Evo3D was £200 here)
Evo 3D and the Sensation are last years tech but still great for the price.
I imagine the sensation XE has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more development potential due to the lack of 3D making it easier to dev for, but higher CPU, 1.5GHz dual core, and less RAM (and different GPU if i recall)

Just because it's cheap does not mean it has no warranty. I would have taken it back.

Please explain your instability issues. I recognize you as a very knowledgeable person. Help us with "what not to do" or is the 3d just overall not great in your opinion. It's a pretty good device in my opinion, but i don't fall into the "hard user" category. Thanks for your time. ( device not stable, notsointeresting is stable)

I've been through 6 of these phones. The one I have now is screwing up aswell. Random bootloops, freezing. Data issues. You name it. I got rid of my OG EVO for this free (good friend who pulled strings) and i wish I could go back. All in all, I would get new LTE if ya can.
Btw stock everything on this phone I have now.

6? 6 phones, that's not unlucky or a bad phone, that's the universe trying to tell you something.
Just picked up a never turned on warranty replacement 3d for my wife. Activated it Monday afternoon and had 5+ lockups that required a battery pull. As of 8am today they are ordering me a replacement.

I've just problems with it since day one. Mostly lockups. When I put into my pocket and take it out the screen won't turn on , so I have to remove battery. I get random reboots throughout the day. 50 percent of the time plugging the charger in causes the phone to lock up.
This happens all throughout the day no matter what ROM/firmware/kernel .
Just be wary to anyone who buys as I know I'm not the only one.

Great phone! I've had it since launch day, bezel on both the front and the back (for the camera) have fallen off. The front bezel was actually hanging off, and it was pretty brutally bent from my abuse (thus why I got rid of it) and the 3d switch as well as the camera button are now gone. My only complaint is that wimax sucks, but thats something we deal with here in the US.

Wow all these problems......
Hmmm never had a one.
I was reluctant to go s-off but finally did using wire trick. So far - no problems.
I didn't agree with other methods everyone was using. Changing CID, downgrading bootloader. I had a theory that doing all that would make your phone "UNStable".
Still wonder about all the people that left this phone and alll the ones having stability problems if its something they did in going s-off.
