It was worth it. - HTC EVO 3D

I loved my og evo, but I had a thorn up my butt about getting the epic touch, so I did. What a waste of time/money. LOS issues drove me crazy. So today, I got rid of the touch for the 3D. So glad I did. Never will own another Samsung again. RANT over. EVO FTMFW.

I did like the touch, don't get me wrong. It was unique its own way, but sense is way better. In the trade, I got the otterbox defender a extra battery and $50 bucks. Way with it.

epic touch who?.........EVO baby!

LOL EpTouch was the fastest and smoothest phone I have used but has too many issues and its unfortunately samsung (they make awesome stuff but their phones are buggy and they are slow with updates) HTC is faster
I wish evo 3d was smoother but loving it regardless

I was personally having issues with LOS ( loss of service/signal) the GPS was a hit and miss and only getting 1 bar of WiFi when I stood 2 feet from my rooter. I can say now with the 3D, I'm getting none of these issues. Can finally make a call in my own house now. LOL

I got a replacement after I bricked my first ET4g, the second one seems to hold a stronger signal and not a LOS yet in the past three days. The issue might be from phone to phone.

Overclock it to 1.5 ghz. And/or install a custom rom. Once you get past stock everything is sooooo much better!

Bro... amen to never owning a Samsung. I don't know what they are doing over in their quality department but I can tell you, being somebody who works in quality for a living, its not hard to see companies that aren't doing it properly. Look at their product....
After the Samsung moment, and the epic.... never again will I piss my hard earned money away on a sammy phone.

I almost got the Photon 4g, but then I picked up the evo 3d..and it just FELT better. It was like I had developed a 6th sense to rate smartphones just by touching them. So far its the best smartphone ive played around with(only one i ever owned..8330 curve doesnt count), especially when its rooted running some sexy roms

I love the 3D. I honestly never use the 3D function, it's more of a gimmick imo, but the phone is the best I've owned yet. And at this point, I'll never own anything but an HTC.

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.

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

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!

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
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
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

Well it seems like no-one what's to deal with E3D anymore... Only a few dev still on top of it. Maybe its time for s new perchase of the lte. So the e3d will rest peacefully in my dresser drawer.

You don't know what you're talking about. There are still plenty of devs working away at it. We have 4 Sense 4.0 ROMs in active development, countless 3.6 ROMs, and Agrabren and Co. are almost there on camera for AOSP. Toast is working on Wimax.
Plenty of development.

You will be happy - until a newer, shinier, more powerful toy comes along. That's the nature of the beast. Then there will be the "why didn't I wait" threads popping up on the LTE site.
I'm probably going to wait until htc's next sprint flagship.
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
3,its really not a huge upgrade... lets be honest. Internal hardware is more of a refresh than a upgrade, and yes I know how fast the s4 is.

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. Cm9 is further along on the lte and its only been out a few weeks.

No idea, I was really looking forward to it and excited for it till I went to a sprint store and tried it out for myself. I swear it felt cheap.. like If I could just crush it with my bare hands. had it side by side Nexus and felt as if the Nexus had a better screen quality than it. The only thing I liked was how they integrated the Music apps into one.

That's what I'm saying. Yes, I'd love to upgrade to the Evo LTE, but why should I? I have 4G service already(7-9Mbps anytime of day). I have 3 batteries(neverending power) and a Ballistic case(won't be breaking my phone) on my Evo 3D...While the specs are better on the SGIII and Evo LTE, I just can't justify getting a new phone yet with all the money I've spent on this phone. I am eligible for an upgrade though. And I can always change my mind once I physically see and touch one of the new generation phones. But I'm pretty happy with my Evo 3D for now.
I haven't really upgrade since the evo 4g came out. I got the 3d for free from sprint. Is not like am rich.

I just got my EVO LTE today and the size is gonna take some getting used to. I thought the same thing when I upgraded to the 3D from the Samsung moment. Other than the size this phone is awesome. The icrap could never come close to this.

It's going to be really hard to go from an evo 3d to an iPhone...
4.3" touch screen to 3.5" touch screen
Plus you go from 4 capacative buttons to 1 home button
iOS is a lot different than Android
No 4g on the iPhone
No ability to use custom Roms
I'd recommend the 4g LTE because honestly its not that much bigger than the 3d. Plus its thinner and lighter than the 3d. Hahaha I just really dislike apple and the iPhone
I think the E3D is the perfect size, maybe a tad too thick. The current Iphone is WAY too small.
Going to an iPhone because a new phone has a bigger screen? Dramatic much? Just stay with the 3D until HTC releases a smaller phone, or get used to the size. It's really not that bad and I have really small hands. (I've got the pleasure of holding one..)
No need to downgrade your phone because you don't like one you don't own.
