So I've been selling Evo3ds at my job now for awhile, and when someone asked me anything about the 3D I said it was a joke but the phone was worth it's weight in gold from the hardware inside. Then last week I downloaded this youtube video in 720p and watched it on my phone. Normally I don't post and leach all day but if anyone wants to see what a video should look like on a 3d screen, give this one a shot.

3d pics look great. Sometimes u have to adjust them urself. I def dont think its a gimmick. U shouldve spent time learning first hand about 3d instead of saying it was worthless. It took me a week before my eyes got where it was easy to focus on the 3d pics. Now i find myself actually looking through my albums more.

Personally I think It's a gimmick. I have used it, I've taken 3D pictures, and I know how to view the pictures properly (before someone says I need to try it more). I just don't really see a need for it.

Just because u dont use something or like it, doesnt make it a gimmick. I dont use bluetooth and i dont consider it a gimmick. Would you consider siri a gimmick for iphone4s? Could consider it the same type useless technology. I dont understand why peoplw have a problem with extra services that they simply dont have to use.

I never said I had a problem with it. Just saying I don't use it. Bluetooth is standard on all phones now, so it can't be a gimmick, the 3D on the other hand is a gimmick because they tried to use it as a selling point where less than 10% of the users will use it. And yes I think siri is a gimmick along the same lines, less than 10% will actually use it.

Ha technology advances and has to start somewhere. Bluetooth wasnt standard on everyphone when it was invented. I bet only high dollar phones had it. Same as touch screen and HD, people are happy without them but most phones these days have both. So in a few years every phone might be 3d, so u will look dumb calling it a gimmick.

Doubt I'll look dumb. Here's the definition of gimmick, as you can clearly see by definition it IS a gimmick:
Code:
[B]gim·mick[/B][I] noun[/I] \ˈgi-mik\
a: an important feature that is not immediately apparent
b: an ingenious and usually new scheme or angle
c: a trick or device used to attract business or attention <a marketing gimmick>
a: hmm, important feature? I'd say not now, but it could be I'll give you that
b: it is an ingenious design sure
c: a trick used to attract attention, 100% exactly what it is at this point (but I'll give you that it may become standard on all phones at some point, but remember Bluetooth was a gimmick on the first phones that used it also.)
Well words can stray from their actual definition depending on their context. Not saying u meant it any different but most people (as i take it) could sub in the term "rip-off" for gimmick in their sentences. Which i dont think is fair to say about this great phone when someone ask how good something is.

on vids and pics it's semi-useful (especially in places where depth is needed, like filming sports, action, taking pics of action, etc.) but i love it on games. you dont have to guess on how far away something is by its size. you actually can tell how far it is.

I would much rather have this phone smaller and lighter than have the 3d...

It's kind of a gimmick.. and I'm sure it hurt sales as people thought that everything on the phone was in 3D.
Personally I think it's nice for movies and gimmicky for your own content. But I bought the phone because of its specs anyway, so if I lost the 3D option I'd be ok.
It should have been marketed as an added feature but once it got incorporated into the official title of phone it became the main attraction (gimmicky). Doesn't mean it isn't a good phone but it put many off before it was even released. It should have been a "featured player" instead of a "reoccurring cast member".
I rock 3d pics often, why not, might as well...
A good way to show off your phone..
Even if lacking 3d the phones specs are beast,
Could of been designed a lil better in the asthetic department, the camera button poking out, the camera on the back is asking to be broken or scratched up, it sticks out decently far. I rock a otterbox defender tho so these problems are "covered up" literally...

When I bought my EVO 3D it was the best phone available at the time and the 3D functionality was just a bonus. I would not have bought it just for 3D.

Yeah, I have one friend who's presently phone shopping who won't consider the Evo3D because of the 3D feature. Basically she thinks it's goofy, just kind of rolled her eyes when the guy at the store described it. I told her everything else about the phone is awesome, but she couldn't get past the marketing, which focuses pretty much entirely on the 3D.

I been on my Instinct since 5 months ago since my Hero was destroyed :/. Anything is better than that so I wont be disappointed with the Evo 3D.
Awesome indeed!!!
I was fortunate enough to pick up an HTC seed unit last night and let tell you. THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!!
Not even talking about the 3d... which upon first encounter was a bit tricky to get used to, but after shooting over 50 pictures/videos there's a science to getting it right.
The power of this phone lies in the dual core processor, the "super lcd" display, and updated software makes the phone run like a dream.
I was actually not very excited for this phone. I left android for WP7. (say what you may, but I use my phone a lot for work.) I can happily say the Evo 3d has brought me back into the fold...
But in short.. it's definately worth the wait!
What was your impression of the 2D pic quality (in relation to
4g?
Thanks

Honestly, the 2D picture quality is comprable to the Evo. I had a buddy take a picture of the exact same thing side by side on his Evo 4G. The quality is identical... unless you go full zoom on both devices, in which case the 4G is a winner, but not by a huge margin.
My biggest problem with the camera is the dedicated camera button. It is auto-focuses on light pressure and snaps the picture on the full press. It may just be because I have an otterbox case on it, but I find myself pushing so hard that I make the picture out of focus. Not a major gripe, as I'm learning to have a bit more... "finese" with the camera button. Ironically, I find the dedicated camera button to be EXTREMELY handy aside from my lack of initial nimbleness with it. Here are a few random 2D pictures I took if anyone wants to compare for themselves... and yes, very random pictures, I'm at work and don't have a lot to photograph..
Old Navy sign is no zoom / full zoom from the exact same distance. No zoom picture of a dairy queen cup... yup... I know...

After all the reviews that were good and bad, I always said this:
The is no better Review than your own Review. Becuase you will notice if the phone is really what you want.
So for thoose who recivied the phone today or will get the phone today. Let's start this tread..
Ps. My phone just got the destination scan so my review will be later today.
The phone is truly awesome. I think any company or organization that gave this phone a bad review should be ashamed of themselves. If Engadget truly gave this phone a bad review then they are a waste. I will never read any of their reviews again. Its is everything I thought it would be and more. The 3D photos are amazing. Love it!

the battery life absolutely sucks on this one. What do they expect, everybody to get spare batteries or extended batteries that make the phone look like a pregnant sumbitch. Totally disappointed with 4g data too. Never having owned a 4G device on sprint before, I was hoping to see a nice speed boost but the speeds are barely any improvement. 3D is wonderful, not as good as the 3D on my samsung 3DTV, but looks better than the 3DS. since its for my wife, I guess I will keep it. If it was for me, it would have been on its way back.

If you don't like it, you must be totally biased. Users here only want reviews that worship the phone. C'mon... get with the program.
Comparing with my thunderbolt, the synth. benchmarks all have the TB getting better scores. But thats probably because I have it o/cd at 1.4Ghz. I have a sense 3.0 rom on the TB, which seems smoother than the UI on the Evo 3d, but that may be just me!!!

I would definitely say it's because you have it o/cd. However, comparing Sprint's 4G Network to Verizon's LTE is like comparing apples to steak.

NOT true because with the sprint guarantee we get all our monies back
Going to give my first impressions. Phone seems longer than the OG Evo. Battery cover is kind of annoying, thought I was going to break it. 3D camera actually works pretty well. Played some 3D Spiderman and was impressed with it. Accidentally hit the home button while playing and it kicked me back to the home screen, but without disabling 3D so the UI was freaking out and trying to display 3D. Will edit with more as I use it
I think I read that tvs that switch to 3d draw almost twice as much power, so the battery is no surprise, interested in 2d battery life, how long it lasts with normal use.
Uhh, hardly. Many 3D fanboys were whining: "don't have opinions based on phone site reviews cause 'yours is the only one that counts''...bull**** of course.
SO..here's exactly that: a thread for those with the device to post their 'real world's impressions'.

I'd like to wait for the SGSII but I fear that it won't come out for a while. I don't think I can wait until the holidays to upgrade my phone. Sprint doesn't normally put out a bunch of high-powered phones at the same time. I think the Evo 3d and the Photon (or whatever it's called) is going to be it for a while. The Photon is out for me because of the locked bootloader.
Meaning what? I expect it to "suck" so U might as well say it?!
I've had HTC phones for over 11 years. Huge fan. I'm the oldest HTC "fanboy" here. What are you talking about?
My point is we have too many forum Nazi's.
I have more of a democratic forum view: open market on views and idea's (def.: forum).
Am I dissaponted HTC hasn't upgraded some things? Yeah! Do I care whether or not that's popular? Ratsass. Same thing I tell my kids: lock into truth first. No filters.

Now First off Don't get me wrong, I'm Not starting this thread with intentions to Sh.t on the EVO 3D at All!
"I Personally Love it, and think it was
Definitely Well Worth The Wait!"
With that said...
Like with just about Anything in life, People are Always going to find Something or Someone... To Single out and find whatever Negative there're able to dig up in order to Complain about the Littlest Petty Sh.t they can think of, and I Know unless the Phones actually Customized for them, There's Always going to be something they would Change if they Could...
But Again, I'm Not at all starting this thread to Bash the EVO 3D! I'm Just simply listing certain features I guess I Wish were maybe a little more User Friendly (In My Opinion) for Everyone that may Agree with Me...
1.) I'd have to say coming from the CDMA HTC Hero, I Definitely Miss having the Trackball for "Easy" Scrolling!
2.) Well I suppose this is Almost the same as the first but... In My Opinion since they (HTC) did away with the Trackball they should of at least gave us a Keyboard with Directional Arrows! Especially for the people like me that Always seem to find their self having to Edit a Typo. It's Almost like Surgery having to Drag the pointer, either that "OR" just Try and get Lucky enough to Touch the Perfect spot between to Small ass Letters!
3.) I'm Not Feeling the Stupid Battery Cover! I basically have to Wrestle with it and say a Prayer to God that i Won't Break it to pieces when I Snap it off,
Get it... SNAP it off! Lol...
4.) I Hate the fact that in Settings/SDCard Storage there's even a Option to... Mount/UnMount the Micro SD when its Totally Impossible to Do either on the EVO 3D Without Removing the Battery First! "If Anyone figures out a way Please Post it Here for me!"
5.) I Don't like the Location of the Charger Port! HTC... What was Wrong with "Perfectly Center" on the Bottom? Wasn't Broke till You guys Fixed it! Lol...
6.) Now Maybe I just Don't Handle or Except Change well, But I just Can't seem to get use to the Volume Up/Down buttons on the Right side if the phone, Instead of the Left like on my Poor Retired Hero! Ugh, I Miss it Already...
7.) For whatever reason, While I'm Typing a Text or "Double Clicking" on a Web page to Zoom In/Out it Jumps to a completely Different Spot!
8.) Another thing I came across is when I try to Click the Up Arrow on the Keyboard to Capitalize a letter it almost Always selects the (Z) button instead of Capitalizing the Damn word! The letters (O) and (P) also Do the same to me!
9.) Finally, Last but Not Least...
Give a Damn Option to Un-Install those Pointless System Clogging Apk's like StockMarket, Twitter, Facebook, etc....
I Understand they made it into the System files for... $$$ Purposes but at least give the User the Option to Install Facebook, or whatever else really Isn't Necessary on the Own!
10.)
** If You Noticed I Stopped At 9**
So Anyone that's Willing, Fill in Your 10...
Or Simply just "My" 10th!
*Maybe, If there's Enough people Leaning in a certain Direction on a certain Subject, The EVO 3D Developers can kind of Reference the Infomation and Somehow Incorporate it into their Future Builds!*
"Obviously Not the Physical Buttons,etc."
if your that unhappy with the phone why would you keep it ?
Just sell it and get something you do like.

I'm Not Unhappy with the Phones Internal Features... Mainly just some Externals! Plus I Don't have that many Options seeing I'm Locked in with Sprint again, and I like the whole Sense look!
Like I said I Still Love the Phone, its Fast as Hell and a All Around Great phone but I'm also Considering its Fairly New and the Longer its around the Better it'll get with Development!
No kickstand and charging port location are my only gripes. I don't think ANYONE will ever have a phone they r 100% happy with.
Although my EVO 4G was pretty close to being perfect.

Meh. I was diehard HTC. I had the hero, then to the evo4g(while always yearning for pure Google). Evo 3d wasn't for me so in may I went nexus s.
I say root it, flash 2.3.4/5 and be done.
If you like sense, root the stock and delete all that junk.
I loved and hated that trackball, I finagled new hero's cause I didn't like the white trackball becoming tinged. Honestly, the evo3d, physically, seems a bit utilitarian to me.

But from what I see the EVO 3D's kind of my Best Choice, at least for Now...
I love this phone more then my dog (he chewed my chef clogs last night) but I miss the kick stand, I like the charger on the bottom of the phone and I have a lot of typos due to the smaller keyboard (maybe I just have big thumbs)
With that being said, I can HONESTLY say there is not another phone on the market I'd rather have. And YES that includes SGSII. (Touchwiz blows)

My only gripe is that the camera is totally useless due to the ridiculous shutter lag (delay between when you take the shot and when the camera actually snaps the shot). No combination of settings can change it: shutter lag is always 0.5 to 1.0 second... sometimes more. Other than that, the phone is near perfect and I'm hoping HTC will put some emphasis on fixing the dud of a camera in the next update.

My only gripe is that the camera is totally useless due to the ridiculous shutter lag (delay between when you take the shot and when the camera actually snaps the shot). No combination of settings can change it: shutter lag is always 0.5 to 1.0 second... sometimes more. Other than that, the phone is near perfect and I'm hoping HTC will put some emphasis on fixing the dud of a camera in the next update.

Have you had the Lag with both 2D and 3D? Tell you the Truth I know the Camera was one of the Hooks to Reel everyone in but i Haven't even tried to take a Picture yet! But good to know about the Shutter lag!
Thanx...
1. It should be dual 8M camera rather than just dual 5M
2. Yeah, give me back keyboard arrows
3. 3rd party equalizer not working on stock music player
4. Both SIM and sdcard should be accessible without removing the back cover
5. I love the camera button, but is it necessary to make 2D/3D switch a physical button also?

I love this phone more then my dog (he chewed my chef clogs last night) but I miss the kick stand, I like the charger on the bottom of the phone and I have a lot of typos due to the smaller keyboard (maybe I just have big thumbs)
With that being said, I can HONESTLY say there is not another phone on the market I'd rather have. And YES that includes SGSII. (Touchwiz blows)

Try thumb keyboard. Using it to type this message in landscape, its got Mega spacebars.. navigation keys are in portrait. I also think that swiftkey has navigation arrows, not swiftkey x, swiftkey. I can still install the original swiftkey from Amazon app store.

Before hand i would like to express my love and admiration for all devs and cooks
But given the phone in question the HTC EVO 3D dosnt it seem pointless releasing roms where things like 3d games dont work 3d camera dont work 3d pics dont work i mean that is why we bought the phone after all

Pointless no since ultimately it's the end user that decides whether or not they want to give up the 3D feature for a ROM. There are a couple ROMS that have functioning 3D but sadly to incorporate it into ROMS such as MIUI or CM is quite challenging.
Look at it this way, some people don't mind giving that feature up for something that is far more promising in the long run. Options are always welcomed with these devices.

I bought this phone because it had the best hw at the time of release! The 3D is a plus that I can do without. Especially for sweet CM goodness!

Perfect example!
I got it for the hardware and shamefully the 3D. The WOW factor wore off pretty quick in my case.

I don't think it's pointless. The dev's and rom cookers give you the details on what's working and not working in their releases 99% of the time, and a lot of the android enthusiasts (most people on this board), have a reason or another to willingly sacrifice a thing or two. (WiMax for example, since here in AZ we don't have the network capabilities to utilize it.)
Those who are not willing get the choice to avoid it, or test it out and see if they're willing to use it until the author gets a chance to resolve the bugs / known issues. (Assuming they plan to fix it. Some outright state they have no intentions to.)
Well as long 3D movies and 3D recording doesn't work it will not be mine daily driver. But fact is that some off these roms that miss a few features off our phone are really good.
Rom I have now MikRunny 1.11 still has an bug with 3D games, but because there are almost no 3D games is the reason I don't mind that.
I'll kiss 3D goodbye for a cm rom any day. In fact, I only bought this phone for the great hardware. 3D is something I'd show friends, maybe take a bunch of pictures and that's it. It's more a "nice to have" feature than anything I'd really miss.
If I know I need the 3D feature (or MHL, which is more important to me and doesn't work on non-sense roms I've tried [GSM user]), I can still restore a Sense backup

This is kinda what i mean i dont overly use the feature but its a feature i would like to have at hand if the opportunity to use it arose
I think it will all change when the evo 3d gets the official ics update
I could care less about the 3D, honestly, its a novelty on the phone at best. When it came out, it had better specs than anything else Sprint was offering, and I was interested in "keeping it in the family" as I came from the EVO 4G.
Gimme a good room with battery life, camera, working 4g, and good sound, and you can burn 3D into the ground.

People who don't have it tend to say that its an gimmick yes. If you don't see it in real its hard to judge.
I also mainly judged on the hardware specifications as the choice for HTC was obvious.
But now I have I can say for sure its not an gimmick its an really usefull feature that is going change my life, because first I could only record in 2D and now I can record in 3D and that is just great, as for later then I can watch these memories back in 3D.
Although I don't have an 3D tv. One thing I know for sure, if I would buy an TV or Monitor and I can get on for not much with 3D then I for sure go for the 3D.
But now I put 3D movies on the Evo 3D and go lie in bed and watch an 3D movie, although it drains the battery, as yesterday after I had it charged 100% not long after that I went watching an 3D movie that was 120 mins long.
My battery drained at time 60% but its worth watching in 3D as its really an nice experience and I'm even more expressed by the 3D video's I can make myself.
I pratice Kung fu and yesterday I asked mine trainer if I could film him doing the first form and I looked it few times back and it looks so great.

For people that want it, but can't go without certain features, just need to get Boot Manager. Get it setup when your running your daily, so goes on phone ROM. Then slide over to other slots & setup ROM you want to try. All you do to flip between is open boot manager, slide to ROM you want to run & hit boot ROM. I usually won't buy apps, only use free ones, unless I WILL use it & really benefit from it like making easier. This was worth it!! Also good to just try out ROMS. See a ROM that looks good but not sure if you like it, & just end up restoring your ROM, or re flash your daily. This it's already setup, & if don't like new ROM just delete it from manage option.

I agree brother!
Is HTC abandoning ship on 3D? Are there any new phones with 3D from HTC?
I bought the EVO 3D because I'm fascinated by it. I guess I still haven't outgrown it yet.
I like watching movies in 3D. I like playing games in 3D. I taking pictures in 3D.
The reason I have not flashed a current rom with the ICS leak is I don't want to lose any of the 3D features. Its the sole reason I bought this phone. Turge's KingCobra 2.4 is about the best it gets before things start failing. I'm sticking with it at least until there is an official update of ICS and everything in 3D works.
Anyway, what is the future of 3D as far as HTC is concerned?
.
They've given up on 3D... I woundn't expect any more 3D content except just having 3D working in future updates.
Also, the 3.6 leaks have 3D fully working.

This might make the EVO 3D more valuable in the future.
I remember using my Audiovox SMT 5600 at work. I could leave it on my desk and walk anywhere in the factory up to 400 feet and the Bluetooth headset would still receive just fine.
Most, if not all of today's phones only broadcast up 30 to 40 feet.
I guess my point is that sometimes abandoning a feature is not always a good thing.

Sadly, nobody really wants 3D anymore so it's dropping value extremely fast. You could probably pick one up for $150 now.

I still see people posting that certain games won't work in 3D and 3D you tube videos won't play in 3D and some movies won't in play in 3D mode using stock player.
I'm going to wait a little longer.
As far as Facebook, Google, SMS, Twitter or any of those bugs. I can live without all that. So that is fine.

Is that with a contract?
I bought mine outright on Ebay awhile back. I just use a prepaid GSM ATT card. No Contract. I just checked Ebay and prices have not dropped at all. They are still selling new at between $350.00 - 400.00.
Can you tell where to pick up a couple at $150.00?
Thanks.

Au contraire, monsieur.
First of all, you have 12 sons? That seems like a feat in itself. Also, you should have put "The 3D *function* is a* gimmick; only my 12 *year old* son enjoys it."
Also, while you might not like the 3D, that is no reason to put down others who enjoys it. By your above statement, you are implying that those who enjoy the 3D function are immature; this statement is clearly untrue. While it is true that many people get headaches from watching movies or playing games in 3D, that is no reason to insult the ones who don't. So please, if you can't state your point in a less insulting manner, don't say anything at all.
On another note, your post reminded me of the "an hero" thing .

Interesting, thanks. I am no fan of Apple but gotta give them credit for what they've come out with.
I'm proud to say that I've never owned any Apple product and I hope I never will.
Been an HTC fan for a long long time. I am a Microsoft fan also. Although I don't think I'm going with windows 8. I probably will become a full blown Ubuntu user after they stop supporting Windows 7. (which will probably be a long time from now).

I'm all onboard for an ICS rom called something like "Everything 3D works superbly" or some ****.

Thanks! sort of proves my suspicions that it should make the phone worth more now that its off the market. People who want this 3D feature and can't get it would pay more for it.
I would absolute love to pick up two or three new GSM phones at $150.00 each. I don't think that's possible.
If someone has a link to these prices, please post it. I am sure there are some dealers out there who would love to unload such an unpopular phone.
Kind of reminds me of when I tried to purchase a Volkswagon Golf with a Diesel engine. The dealership told me that no one wants a Diesel engine. I said ok fine then you should be anxious to get rid of them. He said it would cost me an extra $5,000.00 to get it with a Diesel engine. Make any sense to you?

Okay. Trying to grasp your point.
"No one wanted them." You are dealer (just pretend, I know you're not)
You have inventory. You need to sell it off. You should want to get rid of it right? Sell it cheap and be done with it. That is business.

My apologies. I thought you were talking about the Evo 3D.
sorry.
I dunno, maybe its just me but, 3D without wearing the glasses is huge.
This is the only phone that exists that can do that. Well Lg has one but let's go there. Not a good phone.
Imagine if you whipped one of these babies out during the Salem MA witch trials. You'd be cooked on a stick.
Imagine just 20 years ago speaking of such a device. People would have laughed at you.
I remember being a truck driver and going to truck stops and having to plug into a hub to get internet access. I remember saying why can't we log on thru our cell phones? I was laughed at. They told me I was living in fantasy land. That was when Bill Clinton was President.
Remember the Honeymooners? Ralph Cramden told his wife he was waiting for 3d TV before he bought a television set. That was 1959. Before I was born.
Now we have a device that fits in your shirt pocket that will play the latest movies in HD 3D and people say oh its a gimmick. Only an immature 12 year old would be interested in such a thing.
I don't know, maybe its me. Maybe I'm missing something here.
