I have the EVO 4G since the day it came out , its rooted and I'm loving this phone .
Should i upgrade to the 3D ?
I can sell the 4G for about $300-$330 and buy the 3D for $199 .
Is it worth it ? Should i wait for the end of the year for more phones to come out ?

Thats what I did , pocketed 100$ , I love mine and when we get root it will be the best.
How is the battery life ?
How's the 5mp camera ? The 8mp of the 4G is awesome .
And how is the 3D ?

I love my EVO but after a year of having it I thought its time to upgrade + my 3g is super slow & 4G is a fantasy that come true once in a blue moon when I catch it .
Any better phones coming out this year ?

If you remember what your phone ran like when it was completely stock vs what it ran like after you rooted and loaded an AOSP rom or a non bloated Sense ROM, that's what it's going to feel like when we finally get S-OFF. I love the 3D and really feel like it's a big improvement. The people who say it's not enough of a jump.. it has (more than) twice the processing power and double the RAM. What more do you want?
On another note the Photon and the SGS2 are pretty highly anticipated, but I personally love my 3D. I've had the Evo, the Evo Shift, the NS4G, and the Epic 4G. I liked the NS4G a little better than the Evo because of the quality of the screen. I liked the Evo better because of the dev community and the size of the screen. So, I'm sure once we have S-OFF, the 3D will cover the best of both worlds and it's got power just waiting to be set free.
Upgrade man this is.the.best phone by far, feel.a lot better on.the hand and its awesome, we need time u know we getting root soon, Camera is way better than the EVO,faster, well anything else u want?

I say upgrade , have you try synergy ROM ? On EVO 4G well us like having synergy ROM with all sense 3.0 and running circles on the EVO 4G , I owned the EVO for 11 months , I had the nexus s 4g for a months , the epic and the. Shift 4G and went back to the EVO 4G I sold it and upgrade to this one and no missing it one bit, stock this.phone kick ads wait till full root is here
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Sweeet that made my decision easier, any word on when it will have root? I saw that there is a temp root already.

Need some help as to which phone to keep and which to give away. I had an OG Evo and I loved it up to the day i sold it. I then purchased a Nexus. 4G and quickly fell in love with the phone. Exactly a month and a half later I bought the Evo 3d which is what I'm using now.
Now thst you have a history here's what I need help with... would you use the NS4G or Evo 3D? Take all factors into account (NS4G is rooted and evo 3d is not, NS4G is smaller and feels better in the hand whereas evo is a brick, evo has a dual core powerhouse and 3d capabilities, NS4G is single core w/ no 3d, evo runs sense (I'm def not a fan, NS4G doesn't)
Please post your feedback.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
If it was me i would say the Evo 3d . because it's more future proof with the dual core, MHL, ect. The nexus is a great phone too but i really like the evo 3d better.
I would take the EVO 3d without thinking twice but from your post, you seem to like the nexus better so I say keep the nexus, sell the 3d (you probably make more money anyway by selling the 3d)
Well...I currently own both phones as well and plan on keeping both. I've had the NS4G since it came out. Just got the E3D today and love it. Both phones have definitely advantages over the other. To the point that I dont want to get rid of my NS4G so I'll be keeping both.
Not to mention I have a tendency to switch phones rather frequently.
Well I wouldn't be buying an NS4G because I still have mine I'm just debating whether or not to return my E3D to get my upgrade back to upgrade to the new SGS II phone coming out

What's the use of dev support when you can't make anything for the phone? MIUI is easily my favorite ROM and it ran so well on the OG evo ans NS4G so I really don't know this is a hard choice!

with dev support all the good things come to the phone. i mean geez, this phone has only been out what 2 weeks. i think temporary root already means much much more to come. i am an htc fanboy so i am going to say keep the 3d but it's all a matter of personal preference. i have laughed when my htc phones get the updates and all the samsung people say "ours is right around the corner" i laughed at every epic owner that told me "i can wait a couple of days" when our evo 4g's got the gingerbread update, i don't think epic has gingerbread still(correct me if i am wrong). don't get me wrong i have seen samsung phones come out the gate blazing and have the latest and greatest but don't count on anything down the road.
Felt like throwing a random new post out to say I'm very pleased and enjoying showing what I can do with this compared to everyone else's phone. I love my computer in my hand.

i love it too. a little bummed out by the hboot 1.5 crap but it's easy enough to work around. the phone screams and looks amazing. and the camera is quite nice. don't let the fact that is' 5MP fool you. still gives great shots. and the 3D is really just like a cherry on top. fun to play around with but easy to turn off.
I love my EVO 3D too...
I like my Evo 3d, but just to be completely honest, I miss my Nexus S 4G. I actually bought a ns4g yesterday from the marketplace here on xda. I also bought 2 off eBay. Not sure if I will still keep the 3d, but I will definitely be keeping one of the ns4g. 2 are broken, so they are projects.

My EVO 3D has been a great phone. No problems.
Thank you HTC..
I have to agree I like the Evo 3D , even in stock form it performs very well . HTC does make a good product (atleast my expierence with them) . Even with me moving to carriers shortly (possible new job will relocate me to a Verizon area , no sprint service) I will probably go with the HTC Rezound . Motorola just isnt doing it for me from what I see and the Droid Prime , well it has ICS but eh . New carrier but sticking with HTC .

The NS4G is a very nice phone, my brother-in-law is using mine until the Galaxy Nexus comes out. One thing I don't miss about that phone is the horrible WiFi and Data reception.
Just a question for you guys .... Would you trade your HTC Evo 3D for a Samsung galaxy sII epic 4g touch?
Might have an opportunity to trade but I'm debating if I want to

I have looked through their forum quite a bit and I was not impressed I just find myself missing my old Evo for screen size ...yes I k ow its the " same" but the old Evo was wider .....
Don't get me wrong the devs here are amazing virus and the others have done some amazing work. I just hope HTC sucks it up and converts to the super amoled screen at some point ... Our screen is really nice but still I really love the black blacks of the super amoled.
Also bigger screen size HTC!

The only thing I wish my Evo had was a bettter camera. Without me fiddling with it. I still think its great but crippled with some weak software. Other than that no, the Evo is a flagship phone for Sprint and will get updates from HTC. The OG Evo got froyo and gingerbread and I expect ICS and whatever is next for our 3d.

I really dig the Photon and the SGSII is nice as well. But for me, Sense is where it's at. Plus the Dev support is fantastic and exceeds that of the Sammy and MoPho in my opinion.
I had the opportunity to go Photon or Evo3D. Went Evo3D. No regrets. The community really ha made this phone a beast. Before root, I must admit I missed my Evo4G... Not anymore. 3D is neat, but ultimately a gimmick in my humble opinion. The dial cores are fast. I'm running Eternity on mine and it is buttery smooth. To the battery issue.... I chew through them. SIMPLE and CHEAP solution. Ebay up a set of 3 spare batteries and a battery charger for $20. Cha ching!

Sarcasm? lol Play w/ it for a good long while and choose from there. I'm still thinking of trading in my Evo 3D for an Epic Touch 4G... but I have heard nothing but problems from peeps on these forums regarding said device. LOS; cheap build quality; software issues after root, etc. BUT I have also heard nothing but good things about the screen/camera/phone's fluidity.
I've played w/ the ET a couple of times... I've never had any issues w/ it at all while handling it and the fact that the phone FEELS so much smoother than the Evo 3D really makes me want to make the switch.
Anyway, the Photon beats them both for phone stability and build quality but the interface is very bogged down/laggy and the dev support is pretty damn scarce.
Make the right decision. :3
I figure the battery is the same as epic touch which is bad so I would go have look for quality and I know the evo3d has some weight to it which is fine with me epic touch looks like its poor quality any thoughts

Really depends on what ur coming from. I mean its a bad ass phone for sure but I think I could have been just as happy sticking with my 4G EVO. I love my 3d don't get me wrong. It's fast and reliable for sure. The 3d feature is cool at first but i don't really find any real use for it. Definately love it but think about this too, LTE phones should be coming out one after another starting next year. Depending on what u got now maybe u should wait and see what's new in the first quarter.

If you've held out on upgrading this long, I'd go ahead and wait for Sprint to start releasing LTE devices next year. That would suck if you upgraded now, right before the end of the year and in 6 months LTE devices come out and Sprint's new LTE network starting to become operational, and you're stuck with a WiMAX phone for 2 years.

Of course there isn't 3D in the UI. It's worth buying. It's a very capable phone and the cheapest for what you get. There are many ROMs for the EVO. Check out the development forum for more info about ROMs and development.

Sadly, no. 3D is not a very good feature - You have to be looking at it completely straight and strain your eyes just to see the 3D effect. It's not silky smooth like a moving hologram.
If you buy this phone solely for 3D, you'll end up being VERY disappointed. That said, everything else about this phone is great except for the fact that you can get the upcoming Evo LTE for $200 on a new contract. The Evo LTE looks like an insane beast of a phone. Insane beast.
Let me tell you a little story.
Actually, long story short, i hated my evo 3D, but the day i installed the official leaked ICS ROM things have changed. This phone is a complete BOMB, fast as hell, smooth as hell, no bugs, awesome 3d... man there is a day and night difference between gingerbread and ics and if you have the courage of installing a custom rom, this phone is hands down AMAZING and the best option! Heck, even the screen looks brighter on ics... i have fallen in love with my evo 3d... it's a joy to use it rather than a slow piece of **** it was with gingerbread... obviously the 3d isnt there in the ui, because if it was the battery would finish in half an hour!
Guess the story turned out to be pretty long but owell

thanks for telling me this! think im going to buy it after reading alot of reviews about it, sadly im not on contract so id never be able to afford the LTE and im in the uk so i dont think it would be avaible here
im actually not disappointed by the 3D, its an amazing wow feature for alot of my friends aswell. The 3D only exists on the photos and videos, youtube etc etc and not in the UI but even so it works really well for me
3D aside the phone is basically a sensation xe underneath so you will get alot of bang for your buck even if you never use the 3D
U can't find find, dual core with 1gb ram in under 350euros. So i think it's really good phone with good specs in low price.

I ended up selling it and getting the e4gt and dont regret it. The only thing i miss was the higher res screen. But if u enjoy sense u might like the 3d but its too bloated and slows down the phone. The speed difference between the e4gt and the evo 3d is very noticable. And htc is in the slow lane.

I agree that 3d is not what should sell this phone, its 1,2Ghz dual core processor, 1Gb ram, decent qHd screen etc. Those was the reasons why I bought it.
But for me the 3d was very pleasant surprise. For me, there is no eye strainig. If u are watching quality made videos or movies of course.

Been on the HTC bandwagon since the 4G. The 3D isnt a huge jump as the 4G was when it came out but certainly this is the first phone I can keep longer than 2 years if I needed to. ICS brings out its potential greatly and I've even fallen back in love with the new Sense 4.0.
Also, if you like, you always run ASOP if you hate Sense. But its funny when you browse other phone's threads and see people wishing to have Sense on their Sammy devices. Makes you proud.

Lol excuse me, im far from a troll. Why would the guy just want opinions from people who like the phone. I owned the phone and I didnt like it and i told him why. Thats exactly what he was looking for the good and the bad. It has high res screen. Camera sucks on it, but it does do 3d pics and videos. Its fast but not the fastest and slowed down a lot bc of sense. Sense looks great but is a little too much for my taste. If your trying to get wii controllers connected its impossible with sense roms. Typing on it isnt as fast and responsive as it should be. Running miui on it makes you realize how fast the phone should be. But when i had the phone 3d wasnt working on aosp/miui roms so if u wanted a fast rom you lose features. I like the looks of the evo3d. I had both the black and white evo3d and more people are impressed with my white e4gt. Its bulky and heavy compared to my e4gt. Honestly the only thing i miss is the higher res screen and sometimes the 3d.

Ignore the 3D feature unless you think you will use it, as the quality is not very good when taking the 3D yourself due to it only being 2MP :-(
The rest of the spec is good, and with it (hopefully) getting ICS soon, improvements in the pretty bad Sense implementation we have now will be much improved
1GB RAM on the phone really helps out and was one of the main reason for me getting this over my O2X.
It's good for the money... but other phones now like the new HTC X are WAY ahead.
