Just carrying on the tradition from the Flip DHD thread started by junta, some of us who will move to the EVO 3D GSM can post and share information here...
I for one can't wait
I'm almost certain. I'll buy it as soon as it hits US/UK shores.
That makes 2 of us buddy!

Looks like it. People are probably thinking there's the CDMA EVO 3D only.

That's understandable... but this brings HTC's newest wonder to more people around the world. Which will make support and development even better

I hope it will be just the same (or even more) with the DHD case; lots of modified ROMs to choose from and very healthy community.

True... a lot of potential with this one I think I'd be okay with just root for a while with the new OS and Sense version... we'll probably talk about accessories for the most part since battery is more than enough on a non 4g network.

Dual core is more battery efficient as you wont be stressing a single core with all your tasks.
The htc page doesn't say anything about GSM. It USED to, but it was obviously a mistype, considering it was changed to WCDMA 1-2 hours later. And now the specs page is completely gone.

again, read the source. Its pointing to the htc specs page. As I mentioned, the specs page was wrong. When it was first posted it said GSM/WCDMA/LTE/WIMAX. But 1-2 hours after that, it was modified and changed to WCDMA only.

I'm sure this will all be straightened out by HTC soon enough and we'll just see when it finally comes out...
If it turns out to be true, then the plan moves forward and we'll get one as soon as its released. If not, then we still have our DHDs to play with ;-)
Are you just proving the source inaccurate or you're one'a them fellas who don't wanna keep their hopes up?
Update: A pocketnow article kind of confirmed your statement though still aren't convinced that its entirely a mistake.
m.pocketnow.com/android/htc-evo-3d-gsm-version-has-been-hiding-in-plain-sight
For what its worth, it may still be under negotiation but if the GSM version wont carry the EVO name, it'll sure be released in a different brand seeing that the flyer (global) was just rebranded to carry the name EVO...

i dont think they will release a gsm version of this, i think the phone that we all been waiting for is the second generation of Desire HD.. which, i think, will be called Desire HD-S, and will release sometime on "ber" months.

In all probability,HTC PYramid will be the GSM version of HTC Evo 3d....but really this phone deserves a GSM version,i am due for a new android{using N1 for over a year now} in May.
LG Optimus 2X & SGS 2 are already launching here{India} next month,i hope this one gets a GSM version.
This article mentions that data during phone calls will work on the EVO 3D, true or false?

Quote from the article---> "Will have simultaneous voice and data capabilities; while in 3G/4G or Wi-Fi coverage areas, the EVO 3D will allow web surfing while on the phone"
According to this quote the phone CAN do simultaneous voice and data on 3G. I have a buddy that claims his kyocera echo can do this as well on 3G. I'm hoping it can althought I didnt think it was possible for CDMA to do it on 3G.
The Thunder bolt does 3g/voice at the same time
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
There may be hope for the E3D then
This is one of the reasons I'm excited about this phone. One of the articles I read a month or so ago had technical details on how it worked. It was some extension to CDMA or something along those lines. It's about time!
i wonder why a bigger deal isnt being made of this.

This phone doesn't have those capabilities. Thunderbolt's LTE MDM9600 have SVDO support, while the EVO's MSM8660 doesn't. 4G/Wi-Fi only.

I would absolutely love to hear how many units of the echo have been sold. Especially considering that they wasted money and time having that stupid "Industry First" event with David Blane.
Stunts like that are the reason why my friends think Sprint is crap
I have seen a few posts that Sprint's network is technically capable, like Verizon, of simultaneous voice and data but that Sprint specifically does not (or hasn't yet) enabled this functionality.
That is pretty disappointing. Shame on you Sprint. You would think that every carrier would have the function since AT&T used to brag so heavily about how the iphone could do it. I also read that only maybe half of the new EVOs UI will make use of the 3D effect. We'll know soon enough

Not entirelly true there. They have some build out to do and more importantly our devices don't have the required chip to allow it.

Yeah.....my buddy is a true phone addict like I have never seen before. He gets a new phone like once a month!! He has soo many phones on his hip(active phones) it looks like a batman utility belt...lol. And for the first time ever in his life he is sorry about getting a phone.....the kyocera phone. I think it really "hit" him when he saw how much radio shack would give him for it when he trades it in for the evo 3d. The phone is only a couple of months old......paid a couple hundred for it and the trade in value is like 75 bucks or something. A true phone addict....all his money goes to sneakers.....phones.....phone accessories....and food. And occasionally child support....lol.

Just wandering gamespot.com and noticed an article referring to GTA 3 coming to iOS and certain higher end Android devices. Rockstar listed the Evo 2 as one of the devices. After Christmas search it looks like HTC is dropping sprint as their device carrier.

I'm almost 100% certain they're talking about the Evo 3D. Also where did you hear this rumor of HTC dropping Sprint. That's insane they would lose so much money. HTC has been working with Sprint even before android devices probably their biggest provider in the U.S.
Probably. a typo ...think. they meant. Evo 3d.

Link? Besides I seriously wouldn't count that as valid with any weight behind it.
And the EVO line is exclusive to Sprint within the U.S. & it's available internationally on other carriers.
Ex:
EVO WiMax (Japan)
EVO 4G+ (Korea),
EVO 3D GSM (Canada/Europe/Unlocked)
Yep I saw this article too and I'm sure they meant the evo 3d.
I think you may be right about the Evo 2/ 3vo confusion. The article I found was here although there is no link to any info on htc dropping sprint. Must be speculation.

I remember buying my HTC touch from sprint a month before the Iphone came out. A much better phone, even though it had wm. Then the HTC Pro, Pro 2, EVO,EVO 3d. If they do drop sprint which is highly unlikely, they will loose a loyal customer.
Ps. it also works for Samsung galxy tab 7 plus if interested. Side loading needed.

Every time someone says "Evo" HTC gets a nickel. There's no way they would drop Sprint. HTC makes as much money as they do by getting their products on as many carriers as possible. Every phone you see that they have put on Verizon, At&t, and T-Mobile were basically just rebranded Evos.
I remember hearing when the 3d first came out that the Evo 3d had capability for lye as if sprint was planning on upgrading to lye I was wondering if there was a way you revs could activate the lye that we supposidly have because Idk like todo roam onto Verizon's lte that walkersville MD has...
Im sorry for misspelling lte with lye bk8 kept autocorrecting me...
sorry, but the Evo doesn't have LTE capabilities... there was talk of the chipset supporting it, but the phone does not have the required hardware (antennas, etc.)
Thanks froth the quick reply , is there any way I can add the hardware in because my parents love to take the modem with them places and 4g would be so much better on my ps3 then Verizon 3g
Just to confirm, I asked htc directly and they said there was no lte capability in the EVO 3D.
Installing a radio to support it? No clue but you'd probably have to program the OS and radio software to use it too

...and it sucks that sprint got rid of the premier accounts of upgrading phones once a year. I love my phone but I wish it was compatible with lte
I think we should all petition for them to allow us to get lte enabled phones or upgrade our existing ones to support lte when they launch. We got screwed out of 4G. Verizon was able to upgrade the xoom for lte afterall.

Definately I agree. I've been with sprint for like 13 or more years now. Being a long time customer I should be able to take advantage of LTE when it does come out. Any idea when that will be?
I know this is a fairly new thread, but had anyone found any forum or sprint contact point to make formal request / petition for LTE upgrade?
I would love to get on board. I've been paying 4g data premium since I got the evo 4g, and other than a couple days in Chicago, new York, and Charlotte, it's been a waste.
Sad but it is tempting me to take my 5 phone lines to Verizon.

I'm asking because a post in the EVO LTE group I'm in on Facebook, a user said he went to a Sprint store and they told him he HAD to trade in his EVO to receive the discount. So I'm curious, are you 1) Trading in for minimal credit? 2) Keeping your EVO for a backup? 3) Selling it yourself or somewhere else? Or 4) Giving it to a friend or family member? I hope to get a number of responses so I may prove to the group member that no one is being forced to trade in. Thanks for your participation.

I already sold mine on eBay for four times the buyback credit amount. However, I still have one that has a bad ESN that I use for a WiFi device. It's S-off (facepalm), running the firewater hboot (2.10.5555) and I flash ROMs like a maniac.

Since I'm switching to Verizon, I'll be keeping it for a wifi device.
I've been eligible for an upgrade since last November. Just been waiting for a worthy upgrade. My girl had the one and ahhhhh it's alright. Nothing really to write home about. My friend has had within the last 3-4 months the one, s4, and the nexus 5. He really likes the nexus 5. Almost persuaded me to get it; but, I really think I'm going to wait for the LG g3 and keep this phone for a back up.

I've been eligible for an upgrade since last month, but I don't think anything out there is worth spending it on right now. Probably going to hold on to the Evo until the LG G3/Nexus 6/Moto X2 launch, then upgrade. And I'll hold onto the Evo at that point as a wifi device and media player for biking/running.
Haven't read much about the nexus 6, just maybe. You never know!

Yah know, I have two lines under the Everything Data 450 plan, with an extra 300 minutes tacked-on from a promotion they had awhile ago. I have the Evo LTE, my gf has the OG Evo. She is happy with her's, I am somewhat happy with mine. We're both due for an upgrade. I never upgraded to the One due to lack of SD card expansion. So, the new One has it. But, with all of the development of this phone going on, I'm almost hesitant to upgrade. Phone runs great on Viper's rom, so idk . . .

If I don't mind the another two years of contract, I would just upgrade to the new One (M8) then sell it on ebay, and keep using EVO LTE. For my daily tasks on my phone, I don't see the need of a faster phone then EVO LTE.
