As much as it'll irk us early adopters, I hope HTC lives up to their word and it does come unlocked.
Exclusivity is not a big deal, I rather this phone become more popular than stay on Sprint. The more people own a 3D the more attention HTC gives it (hopefully)

Not just HTC, but the device itself. If more people own the E3D there will be a higher demand for more developers to make 3D content (movies, games, and so forth), as well as a higher demand for 3D devices in the future (Next gen. EVO with quadcore processor, 3D once again, more RAM, ROM and so forth ).
This will be fun. Now we get to sift through GSM only/CDMA only threads.

I had a g2x forum made to prevent this in the o2x forum... To many people would brick there phones flashing roms for cmda phones only and vise versa

Well damn, I hope its not true. Its not a fair shake. I'd like the HTC Sensation if it were a CDMA option along side the 3D.
You hardly ever hear of 2 flagship models from the same OEM come back to back like that, for 1 U.S. carrier.

I would take this with a grain of salt. I can't see Sprint allowing this to happen. This is going to be like an AndroidCentral article "Update...Looks like we were wrong" We left out a small detail etc etc blah blah. We'll see though...And just bc it passed FCC, doesn't mean it will definitely see the light of day and if it does, it doesn't mean tomorrow or next month.

After two weeks with this phone, im sad to say this was a let down on htc's part. I have never a had an htc phone have so many issues. For me the camera crashing so often that i misser ahots of my daughter this weekend, and that was using the normal 2d camera. Looks like im going to be checking the photon or just going to the nexus 4g
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
ive never had a problem returning a phone that was rooted.. the people at my local store are all idiots and dont pay attention.. But then again i am in detroit..
Fyi I've had the 3vo and now own the photon. Ill give some comparisons.
The phone feels good in hand and feels very good compared to 3vo. Speaker onphoton blows evo away. Games run super smooth on photon. For example n64oid goldeneye on 3vo lag made it unplayable, the photon had little lag but i was able to finish the first level no problem. Also i liked that u can hook up wiimote right out the box instead of waitng for root. As for video camera photon had 0 slutter while the 3vo had too much for my taste. Still pictures were about even even though its an 8mp camera.
As for ui. Sense is way better imo and blur is meh. Also the photon lags a little, but i installed launcher pro and now its good. Oh yea i forgot to mention reception, the main reason why i returned the 3vo! Photon is top notch in that department. Reception was excellent and call quality was great. With the 3vo i had terrible reception.
Hope this helps

Photon will have much less dev support & will probably be a long time before it's unlocked. Motorola said they were going to start unlocking the bootloaders, but it has not started yet. The Photon is locked. I have to admit it does have nice specs and looks good too, but I personally will stick with my Evo 3D.

I don't understand your frustration with someone that refers to a PHONE as "3VO"? To tickle your fancy I'll refer to it as the "Shooter", or how about the "3D EVO", note the reversal of EVO and 3D. Sorry for being an a**, but come on, who really cares about a nickname. Go flame another thread. And that "sorry" is sincere, so don't reply, it'll just make you look like a troll.

Ok, thank you, and yes I hit the thanks button. Your second post had something that actually is pertaining to my original post. Honestly, I chose to stick with the 3VO anyway.
I'd just suck up the "3VO" and get used to it, it isn't going anywhere.
Oh, by the way, I don't refer to it as "three-vo", it just looks cooler (opinion), and I find it faster than typing "EVO 3D"
As an example.

Your not the only one but obviously part of the group..it bothers me that people feel the need to post comments on a thread just to.diss the name people call a phone..who cares..I call it whatever i want..u do the same..add something to the thread instead...I've seen a lot of these posts and i think It's juvenile..
anyways I don't really have any complaints..I believe we still haven't seen the true potential of the phone yet..people think the e3d isn't faster than the og but i think the difference will become more apparent in the future .
Define "problems". I've noticed some hardware issues (yellowed screens on three of them that I've seen so far). My friend who has the other one on my plan has the yellowing issue and his phone reboots at random, but the guys at the Sprint store will replace it no problem.
Aside from that, which is easily fixed by visiting the store, my only problems would be with Sense 3.0. It introduces some nice features but honestly, I just think the stock Android interface looks and feels better. That's just my opinion. I am waiting for a CM7 port or some other interesting custom ROMs.
P.S. Almost forgot, the camera gets kinda buggy in certain light settings. It is the auto white balance issue, makes some of your pictures look green. That seems to be a software issue though, so not a big deal. Someone making a custom ROM should be able to fix that. Or maybe HTC will quit dragging their bums and learn to code and test.
All in all I'd give it an 8/10.
this phone has a lot of bugs. camera is really bad, esp in low and high light. the screen becomes unresponsive in spots at times. apps force close a lot. the outside speaker is really low, even after adding volume+.
if the Photon was unlocked i'd trade my evo 3d in on it. for now i'm thinking about selling my 3d and going back to original evo.
oh yeah, signal on this phone is the pits as well.
It aight, its adequate until the next super phone comes out this winter.
I've had mine for a few days now. Keeps freezing where the only way to fix it is to pull out the battery. Has randomly reset on me a few times too.
Are these common problems? I might as well take it back and get a new one.

My biggest gripes with the EVO 3D are:
The 3D camera not allowing me to take photos while the phone is in portrait view. I can't say how many times in the past three days I've been trying to compose some interesting shot of a object in 3D, only to have the camera deny taking the shot simply because the gyro is telling it it's upright. <grrr>
Can't wake the phone up straight into the camera app by pressing the shutter button (or holding it for that matter).
Umm... that's about it. So far at least.

So many ignorant and sexist assumptions here, it's disgusting. Some of you guys are downright pathetic.
OP, talk it out with your girlfriend, if she's genuinely paranoid, figure out the root of the paranoia, and explain to her carefully how there is nothing you can "monitor", and doing so is illegal anyway.
Just because someone is paranoid about privacy doesn't mean they have something to hide, especially when it could be that the person in question is new to the idea of a smartphone (especially a smartphone that powerful and versatile).
Unless her worries are truly causing friction in your relationship, if she is still paranoid, just let it go.

I'm a douche bag. Usually the first person to start accusing is the guilty one. Anyway, XDA is not match.com. The only way you can legally monitor her text messages is if you pay the bill. Then you can get all the texts forwarded to you via email, Sprint will go back 90 days.

We already all know what qualcomm has in store, so I already know why I'm going to wait.
Also, I use my 4g, and don't see lte in my town too soon

actually I'll be happy for another year when they come with their next offering...just like I was happy for the year I had the 3d except the development for the lte will be much better because there won't be any proprietary drivers withheld that keeps roms from being complete ala cm9 a year later and still no camera.
