coming from a touch pro 2 can't wait for this new phone been waiting awhile
I made the line the first day the evo was launched, and I'm pretty sure I will do it again. My phone was available for a contract renewal, and I hope mi wife's will be ready too when they launch it. Today my 5 lines plan all are evos, so I think in about 6 months, my account will have 5 evo 3ds, lol.
I went to CTIA and saw it trough the glass they are showing it. Seriously, I can't wait to have that piece of device in my hands.

Possibly upgrading to evo3d

Well I am very interested in this phone but would like some honest opinions about it here are my questiones. Was the phone what you thought it would be? Is the dual core fast,any lag? and how issue battery life
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I love my 3d and it is speedy and all. But to be honest, if i were upgrading now i would get something else. There are better phones out now as tech moves so quickly. Not a bad phone dont get me wrong, just better ones are out there now

Thanks for feedback I have 2 weeks to decide and it's either this phone or epic touch battery is an issue I would like a phone to last majority of the day also u would want a phone that I know will be updated to ics I know HTC already confirmed this with evo3d don't know about epic touch
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Evo3d and epic touch are the best 2 choices. I would say the 3d because its fast and made by htc. Gotta love sense.

I have an Epic 4G, was going with the Touch BUT! I just bought me an Evo 3D from ebay. I think the masses believe in HTC. They are just better built and from what I see here, have more support. Mines in the mail baby, I'll be joining you all here soon.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
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!
E3D'ed... Booyah!
Wow you guys are really convincing me to go with the evo3d

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.

Yes!! 2 Evo 3D's here for almost 5 months. 100% satisfied. My wife upgraded from Hero to Evo Design 4G 2 weeks ago and that phone is awesome. Go play with all the phones and buy the one that blows your skirt up. Grandpa always said "never buy anything that doesn't excite you". Good luck!!
galaxy nexus, hands down

[POLL] Where are you coming from?

Where are you coming from?
Hello all of my Wonderful EVO lovers! As a junior developer who is getting this device (and plans to release some cool stuff), I just wanted to see if there is anyone that I might happen to know already in this Forum that I could work with. None-the-less, this isn't just about that, but getting to know everyone in this particular forum as well. I hope that you all can vote and answer and be proud to get such an amazing flagship device for Sprint.​
Edit sorry for missing a few major devices, this was made late! Just throw your device in a category you think it would fit in then go ahead and whack a post on the thread to tally your vote for it.
HTC TouchPro2: I
Nexus S: IIII
Nexus One: I
HTC HD II: I
HTC Vivid: I
HTC Shift: I

I don't feel comfortable with any of the poll choices.
Generic? No way!
Sprint feature? Don't think so.
Either way, huge improvement incoming.

Hi StrumerJohn,
Great idea with the poll... very interesting. I look forward to seeing your work.
I too am coming from the Hero. I've stalled as long as I could. My hero is showing his age and the Design 4g was a poor Hero replacement to me so I waited for EVO!

Coming from the EVO 3D.
Hopefully this will be the phone I'll keep for 2 years, I've never kept a smartphone for more than a year. Or puchased later than 3 months after initial release.
I doubt anyone will come from the LG Viper 4G LTE lol, its pretty fresh on the shelf compared to everything else on the poll.
Is this from most recently? I started in the Hadnspring days ala Treo 600.
Evo 3D most recently. I guess I didn't realize people didn't upgrade every time a new sweet phone came out. I try to just stick to HTC though, since I like Sense.

LOL, yeah. Your current phone.
It'd be epic over epic if you were upgrading from the Treo 600 to the EVO 4G LTE.
No stylus or Franken-Garnet Palm OS, the screen difference, no pulling up that dinky antenna. Jesus... You'd probably have lockjaw.

The Treo 650 was leaps and bounds better. No EvDO still but the screen was good and it had bluetooth. The keyboards were AWESOME on each.

You are fashionably late to the party!!! A lot of use, including myself, just came from the original EVO. We have been playing with the new EVO LTE for a little over a week now, and you will benefit from our growing pains. I would recommend you read up about Google Wallet before you flash a ROM, otherwise, have fun. Oh, and nothing is cooler than using Google Wallet and freaking people out.

4th evo lte, good build quality?

Any one else exchanged there's? Everyone says the build quality is good but I question that. All problems are internal never physical outside issues. Always, "never seen that before" worker at corporate store finally, after threatening to buy out of contract, she allowed me to switch phones instead of another HTC evo I'm going to the galaxy 3. See if I have better luck....

I know, but with the 4g issues on the EVO I thought it was best to switch. Don't know when or if HTC will fix the issue. Why get another refurbished phone. At least ill get steady 4g. Owned every EVO that's been out. Plus more development on gs3. Please don't hate me just tired of problems. Loved the phone but.......problems problems problems. Starting to remind me of my pre.
