How is everyone liking their new phone? Is it everything its cracked up to be? Also how is the 3d function? I'm very curious. I get mine from best buy Friday and I can't wait....I'm jealous of all you early birds
the 3d Photo Feature is actually quite decent, much better than the Nintendo 3ds by far.
4g connects extremely fast.
Mind you the screen isn't wider but it is slightly loner than the EVO, the phone fits in the palm of your hand with ease.
camera button and 2d/3d switch is a great feature.
Very solid build, the battery door covers the entire rear of the phone.
Music beta on 4g connects and streams very nicely, haven't tried 3g yet because im still uploading my music to it's servers.
Overall im very impressed SO far

i assume this is all while pluged in? i know this is to soon to ask but battery?
actually battery life from what i have seen is actually really good, i turned it on at about 40-50% i didnt check how much it was charged it is charging now, my friends at sprin has been off the charger for like 6hrs and he is at 70%.
but as we all know each user experience is different
i love sense 3.0...its AMAZING. i feel in control of EVERYTHING!
*Cries*
How did so many people get it early! gahhhh
...friday can't come soon enough!
UPS here delivers like at 8:30 at night so while delivery is today for me, it's pretty much tomorrow anyway....lol fail.
I wish I could tell you how it is!
I decided to stick with my local and trusted Sprint store figuring a day or 2 won't hurt...it hurts...
I'm glad to see its going well for those of you who got the jump on us though. Keep us posted on early impressions...
You wanna know how sad I really am lol? Since I have to wait until Friday to get my phone, I went to bb to buy an evo 3d case to feel closer, but they wouldn't sell me 1 lol
I came from a launch date EVO 4G. I now have the younger, hotter faster sister.
3D is way better than I expected. Make sure you compose so foreground, subject and background elements are in the frame. My eyes have no problem adjusting, but of course, YMMV.
Fast, fast fast. Even sense. Which I will still dump for ADW launcher ex. Just because it fits my workflow.
Annoying that the charge port is on the side now instead of the bottom. Looks like it was a design compromise to get a larger battery on the bottom half of the phone.
Any evaluation of battery life can only be taken after at least a week of use.
Battery cover seems harder to remove because of the camera shutter button. Someone has already mentioned it.
Sprint just made me stay with them until Verizon gets an equivalent.

Sadly, I had the same experience. I should have ordered from Sprint but thought: HEY, I will have a couple of days to decide if I really want this phone. I should know better.
+1 Sweet little phone here
Ordered yesterday (Tues) a.m., Sprint free shipping next day and got it this morning.
Been playing non-stop for the past 4 hours. I honestly say I like the E3D "in general" better than my E4G.
In terms of physical attributes, the narrower frame has a better grip on hand, even it's a bit longer than the 4G. Voice quality is at least on par with the 4G (As I have custom ROM on the 4G, it is louder anyhow). Connection for BT, Wifi and 4G are faster to established.
The QhD screen takes a bit to get use to (Even in 2D mode). I had the same concern as the Nexus 4G came out as they seem a bit yellowish tint than the regular LCD screen. However browsing the net, watching movies and games it is more crisp on the eye.
The only gripe I have is the Micro usb port being on the right side, instead of the bottom. And of course, I have to re-train my hand to hold the phone as everytime the camera lens get smudge with finger prints...
Overall, I'll give it 9.5/10 rating. JMHO.
Well this is the thread I was looking for..so far so good then..ill take a 9.5 out of 10th..I think the charger on the side sucks as well especially if your using the kickstand case and viewing something..thanks for.the input guys
3D is better than I thought, after all the bad reviews. When installing Google earth, a 3D buildings layer is now available, but it isn't real 3D, just rendered like the PC version.

9.5!?!?!?! 9.5?!?!?!! From all the backlash of the people in the Evo 3D section on the negative reviews, I would think this phone would be a 10!!! FAILBOAT ACTIVATE!!!
Man I have a tough decision, I got this ns4g in my hand and I got the evo 3d in preorder.... I don't know if I should pull the trigger. The only thing that is keeping me from going to 3d heaven is the bootloader issue lol.

yeah im still adjusting my eyes but when i do. im completely blown away especially with some of the youtube 3d videos. as far as liking it? I LOVE it.
Even coming from a Evo, I can still tell a difference. So far the battery life is perfect for the way I use it. like everyone else, im frustrated with the port on the side I keep wanting to plug it into the bottom. in short Im happy with my purchase and will be saying bye bye to the evo today.
Is it me or is the screens whites a bit more yellowish?
Comparing it to my EVO it looks that way.

This was also a complaint in some reviews. It's speculated that it may have something to do with the layer of film on the screen for 3d purposes. Glad I didn't pre order, I know a lot of people have the phone already and I don't see the OMFGTHISFONROXBBQ posts yet.

If would be great if you could post a side by side shot of both the evo4g and evo3d. I am sure I am not the only one who wants to see it.

I don't think it may just be the 3D, my sisters shift is the same way. I think its because I got the novatec panel on my EVO. I got no complaints cause the phone looks gorgeous

All I've seen is that it doesn't have the purple tint anymore, and looks AWESOME.

I have all my iPhone buddies drooling over this screen.
I think it really depends on what panel your EVO had. I know that the Novatec was much whiter than the Epson. I would say this was more like the Novatec.

OMFGTHISFONROXBBQ!!!!!!!!!!!
The 3D is SENSATIONAL! I made a video of my friend's salt water fish tank last night, and it looks BAD ASS. Everyone I've showed it to has had to pick up their jaws from off of the floor. I haven't tested the video's on my 3DTV yet because I don't have the MHL adapter, but today when I get home, I'm going to try playing the video via DLNA on the PS3 and see if I can get it to work.
The phone is blazing fast and seamless. Remember the OG Evo how it would slow down for a 5-10 seconds while an app was installing? Well, that is gone. GPU handles games that used to lag perfectly (i.e. Gun Bros). Sense 3.0 rules.
This phone is as fresh as the Evo was a year ago, and it makes the Evo feel like a dinosaur in comparison.

3D is pretty cool, but I've discovered that the phone gets stuck in 2D mode a lot... I have to move the switch to 2D, then back to 3D, for it to start the 3D mode sometimes...

I can't say I've experienced that. It takes 2-3 seconds to switch from one mode to the other, but I haven't had anything get stuck or lag on this phone at all. My only complaint (if you wanna call it that) is that the high resolution makes the keyboard a little smaller and my fat clumsy fingers can't type as well as I did on the Evo, but I'll get used to it.
I think the 3d fun has lived a short life. I don't find myself shooting 3d video's or taking 3d pictures anymore. If the 3d had more of a pop out of the screen look, then maybe but most of the 3d available just looks like a hologram.
The thing that really convinced me I am over it was playing Asphalt 6 3d. I decided to put it in 2d mode so I can use the tilt feature to steer and then realized how much crisper and clearer the picture was and the colors were just beautiful. It made me really appreciate the 3d's screen. Put it back in 3d mode and everything just became so bland and dull with a hologram effect. Maybe if the car popped out of the screen or something it might seem much cooler, but until we start seeing things like that, I won't be purchasing any more 3d items.
At least it will be easier to jump ship in the future to a non 3d phone as I thought it would be something I would miss in the beginning.
Now after saying that, at least I still have a beast of a phone to play with!
Anyone else starting to feel the same way about the 3d and starting to use it less and less?
Hell no. I watched transformers 3 in 3d and can't wait for that. An avatar 3d.
The phone is awesome for 3d movies.
The games is so so.
Some pics rock. Some split your brain.
But the movies. Damn I'm loving the movies.

Nah, still loving it.
I did turn it off for Asphalt 6 only because I only know how to play the phone racing games with the accelerometer.

Took a 3d video of my kids on a swing set, it looks really cool.
3D is a bonus with this phone, and shouldn't be the main reason to get it. Mostly mine is used to show the phone off to friends. That and the printing capabilities. It took me 5 minutes max to get over the unique 3D experience glow. When I can lay the phone flat on a table and watch a movie play out holographically atop it I'll be impressed.

So confused why people think if it would think that if the 3d would "pop out" then it would be better. I think that looks cheesy and holographic. 1) you want that get creative and try new angles. It will have the effect. 2) Glad it doesn't I would have to wear glasses. to use and play with my phone.
sorry I'm a big fan of depth of field, and not Back to the Future II where Jaws pops out of the screen and tries to eat him.
I find myself taking almost all my pictures in 3D as I can convert them to 2D But I would hate to take it in 2D and later say Dang I bet that would have been awesome in 3D

Playing asphalt gave me a headache. I'm over it. Maybe movies would impress me...but who really has time to watch movies on their phone? If I'm somewhere that I can't watch a movie on a tv then I probably don't have time to watch a full movie on my phone nor do I really want to.

I didn't buy it for the 3D...
For me I was over it a few hours after purchasing it. 3D didn't play any part in my purchasing my 3Ds. The other specs had me drooling. I've gotten mostly good reviews from people who I have told I had the 3D and showed them some scenes from Avatar & Clash Of the Titans that I had encoded but for me 3D is a fad.

Think you got that a little backwards there.......
One of the only 3d video's I found on youtube that I feel is of great quality and really shows off the 3d feature is the one below....If all of the 3d looked this good then it might have kept more interested in it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfnBM49o5Nc
Don't get me wrong, I didn't by the Evo 3d because of the 3d feature, it was everything else that impressed my, but the first week or so I was totally all about the 3d. Not so much now.
Thanks, yeah meant glasses free. It is so cool just to whip out the phone while waiting for appointments or whatvever dead moments in life. You can only surf the web so much. Adda another dimension. Ha. Can't wait for more of everything 3D. Loving it.
Sent from a 3VO. Long live the EVO.
omg, the 3d is awesome! I wish the whole world was in 3d!
I love the movies but the games are lacking. I do get a bit of eyeache after a bit forcing my eyes to not focus farther away (through the screen) because it does look like the phone is my window into another world at times. I look away for a second and they feel better so it doesn't bother me to much. I think I will get used to it eventually
NOVA3D is great. (I have OC'd to 1.8ghz too) The shot's fired at you actually come "at you" so to speak. Also the guns being held have depth to them and the shotgun blasts are fun to watch.
Also I'm still taking pictures in 3d and 2d. I like to see the difference between the two. It's not even why I bought the phone, but it's really fun.
I see the 3D the same as I do the 4G...I don't use it all the time, but it's a nice feature to have.
I actually really like the 3D. Games are okay and pictures are pretty cool, but videos and movies are awesome. Although I don't always use it, I like being able to when I want to.
I just downloaded the new Dead Space. It is a little pricey at $7, but it's well worth it. It runs super smooth on the Rez, and the controls are super easy to use. The graphics are insane. Probably the best I've seen from any game on a phone. Definitely worth checking out.
Eh, the graphics are great except for the enemies. Those are just terrible. It's like late PS2 graphics around you and early N64 enemies. Bleh. Shadowgun looks great on it too.

I'll agree. The enemies could be a little better. But overall I think the graphics look pretty good. I'll have to try out Shadowgun. I've heard some good things about that one.
Looks good and runs great. Shame GTA doesn't run as smooth, but I'm sure that'll change once they update the app more.
This game causes my battery to overheat after about 45 minutes of play. Does anyone else have this problem?

The longest I've played this game is about 30 minutes maybe, and I didn't notice any issues. I would think that having your phone run anything this intensive for 45 minutes straight would cause your battery to heat up. How bad are we talking here?

I played this game today for about an hour. It was at 133 when I finished. I really don't think it's that big of a deal since it was back to about 80 within an hour. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it stays up at that temp for a long period of time. The battery is working overtime for this game and keeping the screen on for that long.
I downloaded this game the other day and have been very frustrated ever since! I'm having trouble getting the character to move. He only takes a couple steps at a time and sometimes he won't move at all. It's like he's stuck by something but there's nothing in front of him?
ya i agree some dual core optimazation would be nice
Zenonia 4 is out with much improved graphics from 1-3
Its free and plays better then previous ones

game isnt the cause for the reboot, its thanks to the .14 firmware
idunno, gameplay is kind of annoying for me, ranged attacks mean you have to be lined up with the mob your attacking... items that fall on the ground dissapear too soon IMO, overall i dont think im going to be putting a lot of time into this game.
I played the 2nd one way back when I had a crappy phone with a small screen and I wished I had a better device. I was looking forward to playing this new one on the Prime, so I checked it out. First time I died I saw the screen where you can either lose gold, xp, equipment durability to revive or pay for some cash item...
NOPE.
uninstalled.
Great graphics and the gameplay speed is awesome, but the battle controls are annoying. I keep accidentally hitting the home icon trying to run downwards.

I've been playing it on my DX for convenience. The death system is the same as in Zenonia 3, and it isn't a huge problem, although it's a bit annoying. You can get by without paying anything for the game, but I ended up putting a bit down to make my bags bigger. Worthwhile in my mind for a well made game I"ll probably replay at some point.
