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!!!

Why is everyone so obsessed with benchmark scores. For crying out loud its a damn cell phone. Some of you guys acting like you'll be using the phone to find the cure for cancer lol.
My co-worker has the TB stock and she is always complaining about battery life. If I can get 14 hrs from the e3d, then I'm golden

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!

No offense, but that's a review from Apple fanboys. Do. Not. Want.
they seemed relatively ok.
i'm just unhappy to hear the battery is even worse than the evo. i just bought an evo and thought it would have better battery than my hd2 but nope :/ and i thought with the bigger battery in the 3d and dual core then it would improve.
eh, either way im getting it. just keep chargers everywhere!
Lol... they compared battery life of it with the sensation with 4g on... Thats unhelpful.

Figured some info is better than no info ..
It sorta makes sense... kind of... (seeing as the sensation had 4g on) but the sensations 4g doesn't require a separate radio. How could the 3d possibly have worse battery life with a bigger battery?
I guess I'm going to still hold on to my evo and wait for next year's version or if something better comes along. All these negatives and worse battery life just not going to cut it.

I think the 4G comparison is fair... both phones had whatever it took, enabled, to obtain the same speeds... This is a beef I have with Sprint. My friends with T-Mobile get sick speeds, without any additional battery draw.
On another note, you guys cry foul and say Engadget is biased? Okay, let's assume that's true. The camera he was using certain has no opinion in the matter... I saw the side-by-side comparison of viewing angles... and they flat out suck. I guess it's because of the 3D? I was really, REALLY hoping that there would be no side-effect of having a 3D phone and not using it, but it seems like the two most important parts have been crippled...

Although I don't disagree, it shouldn't have to come to that. I'm still getting the 3D and I think it will be a great phone. I just wish HTC had learned something from the Supersonic with (what is in my mind) it's 3 biggest negatives, battery life, camera quality, screen quality. All seem to be an improvement over the original, all still seem to be lagging behind the competition.

I don't think you should be REQUIRED to hack your phone to make it usable. It's great that we can customize this phone, (assuming it gets unlocked,) but how can you tell them to stfu when all their points are entirely valid?
Your fanboy is showing.
No, the battery tests are with 4g on. Seeing as how it uses the same 4g radio... its going to drain the battery a ton still.
Well if your taking close to a hundred camera shots and videos a day the battery might not do so well. Ill take 14 hours of battery life anyday. And we all know as soon as it gets some custom goodness it will at least go up to 20 hours!

Honestly the reviewer couldn't remember some of the items that came on the phone, and had several other mistakes during this video. I feel as if someone who had an idea of the phone to begin with would have done a better review. Heck he complained about "mushy" button's which the EVO 4g has, and complained about the camera which has done good pictures that Ive seen. Hell he couldn't even tell if the camera was covered by glass or plastic, something thats very easy to distinquish.
Honestly the ignorance of the reviewer for this phone showed pretty well. I wouldn't say everything he said was 100%.
There are a more reviews out there than Engadget. A lot of them state they get better battery life than the EVO 4G. Also as I said in another thread, they are very biased.
Take a gander at the other reviews

Nothing has showed that hacking the phone was REQUIRED to use the phone. The phone is 200% usable out of the box, "hacking" will mainly get rid of Sense or bloatware and make battery drain minimal.
Your ignorance is showing.
OK Sprint. When's that release date for the Within?
Engadget also seemed to be happy commenting on the battery life including 3D imaging, which is a little unfair, as no other phone can be used to compare.
If Aaron isn't doing the review, its not worth reading.
A surprisingly positive review from the WSJ, home of Walt MossAPPLEberg.
The Evo 3D: More Than Meets the Crossed Eye
WOW! I'm really shocked by the battery review, Almost able to make it through an entire work day with 4G on but also while tethering. Sounds actually like a much improved battery system.
Maybe because this wasn't reviewed by Mossberg lol
But good to hear. Mossberg is very Apple biased, so I doubt you'll get a fair review from him.
Im more inclined to believe this than the review engadget put out. However, I'll wait for the one review that really matters before coming to my own conclusions- my own.

The 3D is a throw in. The specs alone on this phone will make it the best one on the market at release date. I prefer HTC over samsung but not everybody does. Could be the best phone this year as well like the OG EVO. If SGSII is the best phone then thats great too, remember the other manufacturers are not the enemy, crapple is!
This reviewer likes the 3D, but not voice quality. Being that this isn't the 1st review to say voice isn't so good, I'm thinking I might have to wait for week ro 2 after launch to see if I want to get this phone.
On any phone, voice quality is very important to me being it's a phone before it is anything else.

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?

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...

It seems to be that way... The phone has been very well received by the buying public that made the purchase. I'll be honest, I was a skeptic and didn't think that the 3D would be much of an improvement over the Evo 4G. But, I'll be picking mine up on Friday now.

now I need to get a wifi printer. LOL.
I knew the tech blogs were off, they didn't use the phone or review from the perspective of the end user, IMO. but once I got it wednsday, I have nothing but praise for it, really.
I do understand its a slightly bigger battery, but going nearly 21 hours off charger before it told me to plug it in with a good 5-6 hours of awake time, STOCK, is amazing. (i wil admit I was on wifi about half that time, rest of the time in an area known for weak signal with my old 4G) I do use green power, but doing a lot of stuff that normally puts a dent in battery usage on the 4G (words with friends, facebook, xda app, angry birds) barely register on 3vo.
I dunno if its Gingerbread or if HTC made the battery more efficient, but whatever it is, it will only get better once we get root. just sayin'
I think naysayers and skeptics who don't think this much of an upgrade over the original, need to spend a week with it, that 30 day return policy can come in handy if not. I know I am keeping it.
Coming from the EVO 4G I was certain it would be better. So that was my expectation and it has lived up to it. I too thought the 3D was gimmicky but I've come to enjoy it.
I have a hard time believing tech/blog writers anyway. What credentials do these people have? Most, if not all, are just normal users like us on this forum but somehow are made out to be respectable critics. So there will be reviewers that love this phone and there will be reviewers that hate this phone. It all comes down to personal preference.
I usually browse through all the reviews and look for common concerns/praise. Then I decide if what I'm reading will be an issue with me or if what they are saying is either (a) their lack of knowledge of the product, (b) blind hate, or (c) a legitimate concern.
I think it is hilarious that ever announcement you read, there is 100 SGS2 fans bashing the Evo3d. You don't see this as often the other way around.
Is the SGS2 that superior? I think not, I will be willing to say the Evo3d is ever bit as fast, if not faster in some instances.
Well a lot if sites reviewed it as the 3d is mandatory 24/7 or something.
Im not sure they even turned it off. 4hrs battery life???
4? That site was paid to give a ****ty review.
And complaining about 14 hrs of battery life being too little? Then admitting you bought a sensation and even though the Evo 3d is better you like the sensation.
That's fanboyism to the max. (Engadget)
In the end the people in xda have seemed to love it.

I'm not sure that bashing reviewers who turned on all radios (including 4G) in a phone that is billed as the Evo 3D 4G is a bad thing, as long as it was clear that this is what they were doing to test.
Let's face it, evaluating how the Wimax performs now that there's significant competition is fair. When the OG Evo came out, the landscape was different. You may not like it, but oh well.
Evaluating the cameras and 3D in a device that has the feature in its name is also fair game. It's also the one feature that is highly subjective. My wife absolutely hates it and won't look at any picture I try to show her. I really like it, though I expect my fascination will pretty quickly wear off.
Like movie reviewers, tech reviewers are hard judges. They evaluate phones across all carriers, and weigh features against them all. How many times have you enjoyed a movie that Ebert hated?
In other words, get over it, and enjoy your phone already.

I have the Evo 4g Currently running KingsRom and Virus Rom. Has anyone that used the sense 3.0 roms on Evo 4g feel like its worth it to upgrade to 3d or should I wait at least til its finally rooted?

I was running the alliance ROM before I switched to the 3d, it's an improvement in every aspect over the OG EVO. Everything is significantly smoother, snappier, and just overall feels like a good upgrade.
They are all blowing their load on the SGS2.
You know what I'm happy they undersold this phone so badly.
I (we) had been waiting for this phone for 3 months. I had this phone built up in my head to a level I hadn't done with anything since well I was a kid and a new toy, or Sex for the 1st time. Then the reviews hit, and I swore they were wrong but was nervous. So nervous I almost didn't pick the phone up Friday morning. I didn't think there was ANY way possible the phone could live up to what I had built up in my head.
YEAH.. I just want to say thank you to reviewers for being Sooooo Far of on EVERY thing negative about the phone. This phone is better than I had even imagined. Still looking for the app but I'm pretty sure this bad boy prints money. It does everything else.
I know there are lots of people complaining about signal and battery and this and that well here is a thread for those of us whose phones work. I love my EVO.
boom!! from my shooter

Exactly it was more of a joke than anything else. Sorry if people get upset over it.
boom!! from my shooter
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.
boom!! from my shooter

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.

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.
