That is correct, got mine Saturday and I am loving it! Looking forward to CM7 running on it, hopefully soon.

Yes the H-boot is a different version so hopefully we get enough people with this phone that some devs begin working on rooting it.

Wow! I thought the Evo 3D was a Sprint exclusive like the Evo 4G and Evo Shift. Thought the whole "Evo" brand was a Sprint exclusive. Guess not.

Evo 3d GSM version?

So will there be after all a gsm version i know that htc said it wont but then on gsm arena they said tha htc france officialy anouced the gsm version so any news on that, i myself have a hd2 and love the bulid quality, support by hackers (like the DFT and etc) camera, and etc,only thing i hate is the speaker but its not a big problem this phone was great and now its getting old and for my next phone i wanted a htc and the evo 3d is perfect for me but i must know wich im going to by if evo 3d will not be availible and the subbstition for the evo 3d is sammy Galaxy s2
Yes, Evo 3D GSM version even if they don't have GSM version i'll get HTC Pyramid. But so far it's a go for GSM version.

i Hate the pyramid dont know why but i rather get a sammy GS2 then pyramid i realy hope there will be a GSM version

I just don't like the idea of carriers beside Sprint inside the usa getting the evo 3d.. All carriers have exclusive phones. Worldwide is fine with me though.
Did find another source though...

Confirmed No GSM for the EVO 3D
Quoted from the site in your reponse.
"Update: We reached out to HTC directly -- this is just a mistake, and will soon be corrected. No GSM Evo 3D after all."

Dude as I said couple of posts ago, nothing is for sure as HTC France confirmed the gsm version. And if you think a little more, the Incredible was US only but now available in gsm as Incredible S... So wait and see, tomorrow HTC has a pressevent in London, maybe somr info will find it way to the light..

Well only the HTC Sensation (Pyramid) was announced today for release in May. It will be on various networks in Europe and Asia and on T-Mobile in the USA.
I guess this means that we shouldn't expect to see a GSM version of the EVO 3D until September/October like with the original EVO 4G and the Desire HD.
thats said.
looks like then i'll have to go with the sgs 2

I'm not waiting that long. I'll be getting a phone in May or June although I'd rather get one now.
The GSS2 is an option for me and if it had a notification LED and four buttons instead of three it would be the one for sure.
As it is I'll be waiting to see which one is locked down. If the Sensation is locked down like the HTC Incredible then I will look again at the SGS2 and the LG Optimus 3D and the LG Optimus 2X. So far they don't even have root on the Incredible S and developer support seems to be flagging.
Evo 3D gsm = fail. I even put money aside for this thing! Down here we have no CDMA network so my N1 stays put.
SGS2 not a big enough step up for me. I actually feel sad........for a phone

On negri electronics website they have the EVO 3d gsm unlocked available for pre-order. I called them asking if it will work on ATT 3g bands and they could not give me an honest answer. Because they do not have them in hand. But I went ahead and put my name on the list. They said its a high possibility they will be getting the Rogers version witch will work on all att bands. If not they will cancel my order and refund my money.

It won't come to T-Mobile, the FCC pass with the similar T-Mobile bands was for Rogers' Model.
So technically you can use it, just be ready to pay the full retail cost for importing.
I thought gsm 3d was outside America. The sensation on tmobile is almost the same but less RAM and better camera

It won't be on Tmobile at least in the US. You will have to pay full price for a Canadian one and have it shipped.
I played with the Evo 3D and honestly I'm glad T-Mobile got the Sensation instead. The build is way sexier IMO

[Q] Wind Mobile HTC Amaze no custom roms?

Got my Amaze a couple days ago and im loving it! But im reading reports on HTCdev and not having a way to install custom roms by locking the bootloader. I came from a Xperia X10 and loved custom roms i looked through some here and they look even better, but this bummed me out is there any news on this? Im reading reports of work-arounds?
There's nothing we can do about it right now. The HTC Dev only has Amaze 4G - T-Mobile in it's list. I'm worried small networks like wind and mobilicity won't bother giving us that option.. I got mine from mobilicity for $499, I would've gotten it from telus if there wasn't much price difference.. Telus has more chances of getting added to the list..
For now I'm just wondering if anyone has some knowledge on this, can we change the CID (Carrier ID) on our wind, telus or mobilicity phones so that we can trick the htc dev website into thinking that it's a T-Mobile phone? jussayin'
the only way you can do that is by changing ur phone's IMEI but nobody gonna tell you how to do it because they end up in prison.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
But what if I do it for a lilll bit of time and change it as soon as i unlock my phones bootloader and then revert it back to it's original IMEI. That shouldn't hurt anyone
the only way to change it to a tmobile cid would require having s-off so no such luck i would say sell the amaze that you have for what you can get or return it it just came out for wind and import a tmobile amaze it has penta band suport so it will do 4g on all the networks up there

Can't return it, got it in a promotion And I don't want to get into the hassle of selling and buying another again cause I sold Galaxy SII to get this phone added 100$ on top of that to get this So I'm outta of luck for now.
Do you think there's any chance there'll be a 2nd method of unlocking the bootloader in the future other than the official HTC method?
If you get the unlock code from Wind/Mobilocity and unlock it for any network you should have no problem selling it for $400+ on eBay or XDA Marketplace and being able to pick up a T-Mobile one unlocked for $420-$450.
I unlocked my Telus amaze even though it's "not supported". Have you tried?

I tried it tonight with the WIND variant of the Amaze 4G no go, like the others I cant return mine either so for the moment we are stuck hoping eventually HTCDev adds our version and mobilicity's to the list of supported devices. I have prodded them through all avenues I can think of who knows maybe if enough of us make a nuisance of ourselves they might take pity on us
One can still root the phone and install the clockworkmod and 3rd party rom.
how? isnt it just a temp root?
Amaze costs me 569 bucks because I bought it full price. That's with taxes, but yeah you could get like 450 bucks if you sell, its practically a new phone

I got my Amaze from a Telus customer for cheap. Used the HTCDev site and unlocked it without issue. Running great with Mobilicity now.
Is getting it unlocked the main issue people are having? Cause I have yet to install custom roms, but from what I can see I shouldn't have any issues?

Same here. Bought from someone on Telus unlocked and using on Mobi. I can install any rom.
I bought the htc amaze wind version from a guy on craigslist and it was already rooted and running energy rom

Sprint cancelling ICS for 3D?

I heard another strong rumor from another strong source that Sprint is giving consideration to cancelling ICS for 3D and offer an early end to contract as good-gesture solution. I think we can see where this is going, right? Early end of contract = full discount price on the next phone.
I don't want one of those LTE phones until the stupid service is available here in Oregon. Right now, I have tons of WiMax and if switch to LTE, I lose 4G!
Why are we putting up with this crap?!
source?
but i think its crap, desire hd etc got 4.0 too...so fare...
This can't be !!
Why would they do that when the Virgin Mobile version has ICS? It wouldn't bother me though since we have 3.6 and 4.0 (minus 4g) available here now but it sucks because my contract is up in July so I would not reap any of said benefits.
Would like to see a credible source on this rumor.

Rumors. People are too gullible these days.
To pick the other side of this, most people on this forum probably have or will get ics one way or another. So if sprint would give us an early out i would welcome that. You know, when you think about it, sprint has all but kicked us 3d owners out the door anyhow. Try and get a refurb replacement. It's pretty tough right now. I can see how it would save them a bunch of hassles by not doing the update. I love my 3d even more after putting myn's ics on it. If i had an early upgrade i would probably follow him to ss3 land.
I was going to wait for the official update to be released, but it just got tiresome. I like running stock-rooted ROMs, and who knows when Sprint will get their head out of their ass to get this done. I bought my EVO 4G LTE, and it's made me happy now.
I would actually love that, sorry guys.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it ends up that we (Sprint 3d users) never see an official ICS but I can guarantee that there will be no "mass" early contract out to make up for that.... Doing so would open the door to a mass exodus from Sprint with no etf. This WILL NOT HAPPEN!

HTC has announced the 3d will get ICS but that means the 3d in general, the Sprint variant of the 3d has never been officially confirmed by anyone, neither HTC or Sprint. The update has to be officially requested to HTC by a carrier on a branded devices. It is entirely possible that Sprint may not do so. The only sure thing is that unbranded GSM 3ds will get ICS. Just sayin.....
I have already all but decided that this will be my last HTC device, if it does not receive the official update, it will also be my last Sprint device.
