Ok new thread. Postive feedback posts about the evo3d. While I was at mall with the wife I stopped at the iphone store to check out the iphone 4 and compared it to my evo3d needless to say it was no comparison at all. I had the apple rep in awe even when I was on mobile I totally smashed the iPhone in ever aspect. When I went on wifi the rep put his little I can't do anything phone away and asked to check out mine. Of course Im like no. No one touches the evo3d but me. I did go on to show him I was over clocked and that the 3d was an added bonus even though I used it all but like 4 times. Also showed him the evo3d has flash. He was shocked. I think he might be headed towards a sprint store lol. Just wanted to share. Also the screen size is way smaller than what I thought. On tv it always looked bigger, but its so tiny compared to my superior phone. And I see my thread got removed "bummer" but a it was fun while it lasted. Thanks to all who posted postive feedback about the evo3d. Gotta love xda.

I'm liking this phone. Gotten a bit more out of it with the "perm-temp" root. Wont be perfect until I can flash stuff (will also make theming a hell of a lot easier for myself).
How did the quality of the EVO's 3d screen compare to the iPhone. Not talking about size. Would like to know if it makes our screen look dated or if the EVO had it's own.

Me to. I just keep checking for that magical day when I log on and see its a go for sure. Also looking forward to your themes man. And I did the permatemp root and it made this phone superior to ever other phone I had. I also left the house for church at 10:am running oc @ 1.8. After church hit the mall with the wife and wished I was somewhere else but I checked out my Facebook, checked email, sent a few, sent a over a 100 text easily, stopped at the iPhone store, talked to my family for about 20/25 min made a few more calls,and took about 11 or 12 photos and when I got home which is when I posted this thread my battery was still at 52%. To me that's great battery life to be oc @ 1.8

Fack all the haters! The phone is awesome! The camera is great! I just need a custom theme and ad free android and I'm good. Its too bad they aren't promoting the phone more. I've seen more sensation commercials than 3vo.

My bad thought I should have mentioned that. Man the evo3d held up great. On some photos on the iphone looked better at first. And some looked better on the 3d. But then we blu toothed the exact pics to the opposite phone and the results were the same IMO. The iPhone screen was nice but its no qhd. The rep was even shocked at the 3d picture quality. Only thing I had to adjust was the brightness on the 3d because under that store light which I think is fluorescent I was seeing myself in the pics. On websites the 3d out performed it hands down I can say. On the iPhone websites look small for one and blurry. I cleaned my glasses off and the both phone screens and same thing the rep told me after you have the phone for a while it looks normal. My reply was mine wins.

Come to think of it your absolutely right. I haven't seen a evo3d commercial in a while. I wonder why?? I agree is awsome. And I thought I read someone was able to get ad free working?? I could be wrong though. And themes would be oh so an lovely bonus. Id love to have Hc3d,Darkhorse and Black funk off top. And I wish I knew how how to make the stock msg app have a black background. That would be smooth to me.

I haven't seen a single Sensation commerical but have seenan HTC EVO 3D commercial pretty much everyday (and I don't watch any TV other than Netflix). I went to Sonny's yesterday (was great btw) and they had 4 TVs all showing the same channel and guess what I noticed when I glanced over? An Htc EVO 3D commercial .
P.S. I'm in Florida, Sprint heavily advertises everywhere. Last Sunday I saw a movie and the previews showed the 3D commercial.

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!

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'.

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!

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!!!!!!
from my 333dddeeevvvooo
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.)

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.

I would stick with the Evo 3D. Once you play some 3D games or watch some 3D movies, you will see that it's an awesome feature to have the 3D. If you want better performance and don't care about the 3D features, you can install an AOSP rom. I think the Evo 3D is some of the best hardware out there right now.

Try the EPIC 4G Touch forums as most people only have one phone, and most of the people who frequent the EVO 3D forums have the EVO 3D and not the EPIC.
Good luck to you! I actually just traded back to the EVO because of personal tastes phone-wise but the SGSII is very very nice! I loved It's camera and SAMOLED cannot be beat!

looks like im gonna just stick with it
I've have both. Evo 3D is my choice. In fact I gave my SG S2 to my neice for Christmas. Evo 3D is nicer. Not as snappy but the hardware is real quality.
I recently picked up the Evo 3d, and my dad got the E4GT. I've played with both, and while I will say that out of the box the E4GT does feel much more snappy, the combination of the size, "premium" feel (build quality), ROM options, features, and just overall fun, the Evo 3d wins all day. Plus, I am not a huge fan of Touchwiz, and I love Sense, so it's a no brainer for me. Good luck with your decision!
The epic touch 4g is huge compared to the Evo 3D. I actually wish the 3D was closer in dimensions to the evo 4G. I prefer the wider device, vs taller. The ET4G is both wider, and taller than the 3D.
But to your trade question, you will probably need to pony up some $$ with the trade, as the ET4G has a higher resale value at this time.
@OP I am glad you stuck with the 3D. Here in Atlanta at the Sprint service center they are constantly having issues with the SGSII dropping calls, GPS issues, and random reboots. people have been coming in and trading for the E3D.
I recognize that this may not be across the board, but when Sprint's own techs all have E3Ds and say they wouldn't touch a SGSII, that is an indicator to me.

While my experience is just anecdotal, but my wife and I have the same issues as the ET4G users, and I have a Evo 3D, and she has a Evo 4G. It's completely tower related, for me though, because if I leave the tower covering my house, I have almost no issues. But at home (my work is also on the same tower), I don't receive calls, sometimes texts don't go through, sometimes have no data, dropped calls, and I get random reboots. I'm in the Atlanta area.
I have both to .. the s2 is more my fav but I am such an HTC fan that I love the 3d to LOL

Unfortunately, all companies are like this now. I remember HTC had dust under the screen issues with the Hero. Issues with the covering on the buttons coming off. The Evo 4G had light leakage issues, stuck pixels, and the digitizer not attached firmly to the body of the phone (usually only one side was affected). But, it looks like HTC has spent more time on QC on their hardware lately, when I look at my 3D. Now, when we pick a phone, we must choose the one that looks to be the lesser of all evils.
That's pretty much what I did... gave mine to someone I know that wanted the 3D and just paid the $199 for the upgrade on their account and swapped it out. Honestly I hated that I even wasted my upgrade on the 3D after a while... I think I used the 3D features maybe a week or two before forgetting all about em. IMO, pretty much everything was an upgrade but it's all personal preferences. Had I not been having some medical issues right after I bought it I would've returned it though.
And to the person that says Samsung cares about quantity over quality, let's not sit here and act like HTC has done anything to improve the issues these phones have had since the Evo came out. You'd think by now they'd be able to make a phone without the massive light leakage at the bottom but they're yet to even try to fix it. And let's not forget the debacle with the touch pro where probably 1 out of every 3 of them had the keyboard to go dead. And I won't even start on the tons of problems we had with the Thunderbolts. All of these companies are about the money first, that doesn't mean they have to sacrifice anything. Hell no one is more about money than Apple but they still consistently have the best build quality out there.
And personally between the last HTC phones ive had, i've had more problems than i've had with the GS2. But hey, that's just me.

The Epic 4G is just too damn wide. I almost bought it before I held it. The Evo has great dimensions. Plus the low resolution will be annoying.
I have a Nexus S too and the resolution isn't great even on the 4" screen. It'll be awful on 4.5.

Is HTC abandoning ship on 3D? Are there any new phones with 3D from HTC?
I bought the EVO 3D because I'm fascinated by it. I guess I still haven't outgrown it yet.
I like watching movies in 3D. I like playing games in 3D. I taking pictures in 3D.
The reason I have not flashed a current rom with the ICS leak is I don't want to lose any of the 3D features. Its the sole reason I bought this phone. Turge's KingCobra 2.4 is about the best it gets before things start failing. I'm sticking with it at least until there is an official update of ICS and everything in 3D works.
Anyway, what is the future of 3D as far as HTC is concerned?
.
They've given up on 3D... I woundn't expect any more 3D content except just having 3D working in future updates.
Also, the 3.6 leaks have 3D fully working.

This might make the EVO 3D more valuable in the future.
I remember using my Audiovox SMT 5600 at work. I could leave it on my desk and walk anywhere in the factory up to 400 feet and the Bluetooth headset would still receive just fine.
Most, if not all of today's phones only broadcast up 30 to 40 feet.
I guess my point is that sometimes abandoning a feature is not always a good thing.

Sadly, nobody really wants 3D anymore so it's dropping value extremely fast. You could probably pick one up for $150 now.

I still see people posting that certain games won't work in 3D and 3D you tube videos won't play in 3D and some movies won't in play in 3D mode using stock player.
I'm going to wait a little longer.
As far as Facebook, Google, SMS, Twitter or any of those bugs. I can live without all that. So that is fine.

Is that with a contract?
I bought mine outright on Ebay awhile back. I just use a prepaid GSM ATT card. No Contract. I just checked Ebay and prices have not dropped at all. They are still selling new at between $350.00 - 400.00.
Can you tell where to pick up a couple at $150.00?
Thanks.

Au contraire, monsieur.
First of all, you have 12 sons? That seems like a feat in itself. Also, you should have put "The 3D *function* is a* gimmick; only my 12 *year old* son enjoys it."
Also, while you might not like the 3D, that is no reason to put down others who enjoys it. By your above statement, you are implying that those who enjoy the 3D function are immature; this statement is clearly untrue. While it is true that many people get headaches from watching movies or playing games in 3D, that is no reason to insult the ones who don't. So please, if you can't state your point in a less insulting manner, don't say anything at all.
On another note, your post reminded me of the "an hero" thing .

Interesting, thanks. I am no fan of Apple but gotta give them credit for what they've come out with.
I'm proud to say that I've never owned any Apple product and I hope I never will.
Been an HTC fan for a long long time. I am a Microsoft fan also. Although I don't think I'm going with windows 8. I probably will become a full blown Ubuntu user after they stop supporting Windows 7. (which will probably be a long time from now).

I'm all onboard for an ICS rom called something like "Everything 3D works superbly" or some ****.

Thanks! sort of proves my suspicions that it should make the phone worth more now that its off the market. People who want this 3D feature and can't get it would pay more for it.
I would absolute love to pick up two or three new GSM phones at $150.00 each. I don't think that's possible.
If someone has a link to these prices, please post it. I am sure there are some dealers out there who would love to unload such an unpopular phone.
Kind of reminds me of when I tried to purchase a Volkswagon Golf with a Diesel engine. The dealership told me that no one wants a Diesel engine. I said ok fine then you should be anxious to get rid of them. He said it would cost me an extra $5,000.00 to get it with a Diesel engine. Make any sense to you?

Okay. Trying to grasp your point.
"No one wanted them." You are dealer (just pretend, I know you're not)
You have inventory. You need to sell it off. You should want to get rid of it right? Sell it cheap and be done with it. That is business.

My apologies. I thought you were talking about the Evo 3D.
sorry.
I dunno, maybe its just me but, 3D without wearing the glasses is huge.
This is the only phone that exists that can do that. Well Lg has one but let's go there. Not a good phone.
Imagine if you whipped one of these babies out during the Salem MA witch trials. You'd be cooked on a stick.
Imagine just 20 years ago speaking of such a device. People would have laughed at you.
I remember being a truck driver and going to truck stops and having to plug into a hub to get internet access. I remember saying why can't we log on thru our cell phones? I was laughed at. They told me I was living in fantasy land. That was when Bill Clinton was President.
Remember the Honeymooners? Ralph Cramden told his wife he was waiting for 3d TV before he bought a television set. That was 1959. Before I was born.
Now we have a device that fits in your shirt pocket that will play the latest movies in HD 3D and people say oh its a gimmick. Only an immature 12 year old would be interested in such a thing.
I don't know, maybe its me. Maybe I'm missing something here.
