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 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
Seems that now you can get it for free.

Same thing happened to the Evo 4g when all the new products started rolling out. With the addition of new LTE devices it was only a matter of time before the 3d became a free phone for 2 years of service. I still love the 3d though, came from the 4g as an insurance replacement and it's still going strong. All I need is a fully functional ICS rom and I will be ok until July when I am up for an upgrade.
I got mine free about two months ago. Bestbuy was giving people who upgrade $50 towards their new phone. The phone was on sale for $50, making it free. I called sprint while driving there and said i was upgrading to the s2, but i said i could barely afford it and was asking for some help. They gave me an extra $25 credit and waived the activation fee

I am sticking to my EVO 3D. It's a solid piece of hardware, no need to change it. Don't see the point. Will consider moving on when One X drops to a reasonable price.
Still don't know is this a good or bad thing...
Just hope it will make it a bit more popular.

The summer is coming up & Sprint needs to get rid of WiMax devices. Good news IMHO.

They gotta clear out wimax phones. I think I saw all wimax phones on sale for a penny on amazon with a 2 year agreement. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a wimax device for 2 years now with lte just around the corner. Thanks but no thanks

You do know that WIMAX towers aren't just gonna be shut down and done away with. Anyone who were to buy a WIMAX phone tomorrow, would still have WIMAX 2 years from now.

If they have Wimax. I have had two 4G phones that have never seen it. I'll wait till I get LTE before I get a LTE phone.

True but wimax isn't expanding and will eventually be shut down. Wait a few months and get an lte device is what's best for me especially since lte will be in my area eventually hopefully by the end of year. Wimax isn't in my area and never will be.

Well the Evo 3D dropped in price in most countries. Even though its an better smartphone then HTC Sensation, its cheaper now to then the HTC Sensation. The Evo 3D which was first more expensive is now kinda cheap for an smart phone off its specifications.
I see many off you just get the phone with an contract, just like many in The Netherlands do.
Well, I hate to say it but the 3d was indeed a flop (in the business sense) , especially in contrast to the 4g which was an astounding success. The 3d should have been marketed as being sleek and fast but was instead marketed only as being 3d capable which to most consumers.....just didn't fly. After all, whether you like 3d capabilities or not, it's still just a gimmick that didn't take off.

Its a gimmick right now, but when they start bangin out the glasses-less 3d tv's and monitors well be the ones who were way ahead of ****. Gimmick or not, when people see my flicks they look like they **** their pants.

I bet if the HTC Evo 3D was cheaper then the HTC Sensation then many would have just chosen for the HTC Evo 3D.
Now many needed choose between HTC Sensation which was cheaper and HTC Evo 3D and then they needed choose between 1080p 2D video with HTC Sensation or 720P both in 2D and 3D with HTC Evo 3D.
I guess price the Evo 3D got now it should start selling better.
I'm VERY glad that it failed to advertise as 3D feature and not it's Specs, thanks to that i've got my EVO just for 250euros, gsm unlocked. One of the best phones atm on the market, unless buying ONE X instead , no other phone is worth changing for Evo.
When i check differences in EVO and Sensation for example, my face goes like :
EVO 3D , 250euros, dual core 1.2 ,
Sensation XE Beats, 500 euros, dual core 1.5
Sensation XL beats, 530euros, single core 1.5,
Looks like its all about advertise and looks even in current century, 90% of customers never look at Specs or even understand what anything means.
God bless American education and fastfood.
All of Sprint's phones are free on Amazon except the iphone4
I imagine Sprint wants to EOL as many Wimax phones as possible. While they will still support Wimax for a while after their initial LTE rollout, they don't want to be adding to the people who use Wimax; they want to save those people for LTE. Sprint is in a bad place right now, and they need as much money as they can get. Moving out older devices and focusing on newer, more powerful, LTE devices is the way for them to gain what they need.
All contract phones I have ever owned have been free, I guess it's different in the US?

In the Netherlands you can also still get ''free'' phones, only in past you could get an high end device like HTC Desire HD with a contract where you pay in 2 years about € 600.
But that you can forget now, it will atleast cost you 900 euro and you get an contract where you first get an period discount and after that you need pay much more.
So I believe buying your phone without contract can be cheaper.

My feelings exactly. I bought my OG EVO 4G from some guy and got an EVO 3D on an insurance claim (I accidentally wiped the WiMax keys, and I wanted an EVO 3D anyway). I've still got my original upgrade credit from when I signed up. I'll wait until HTC releases LTE phones before I use my credit. I love my EVO 3D, but WiMax is not in my area. LTE will probably be coming to my area eventually, so why not upgrade to an LTE phone as soon as I have a chance?

I'm married man.. honest .. no, really.. oh man you gotta believe me lol.
What I meant to say was "Oooo.. subtle."
In all seriousness... this is pretty cool, and a shrewd move to rename it. Not that I agree with rebranding of course.
I would hope it had ICS from the word go. BTW.. do not many people use Pay As You Go (PAYG) a.k.a. Pre-paid, in the states?
So is the EVO V 3D supposed to be like the HTC One V?
This is good. That means another company might keep corporate-side development of this machine and we can port the goods if Sprint drops us; which is looking more plausible as the new phones come out.
Its the EVO V 4g the first 4g Phone on Virgin Mobile being release this month, I think it was may 31th. Its the Evo 3d same phone just Virgin mobile. Not sure if they made a different plan but on the site it says unlimited 4g for 35$ so I guess not. The phones gonna be 299.99 on release I would hold off until around July for a sale or something. me personalty just bought the Triumph 2 months ago so i wont be getting it if i didnt i would have.
how many of us EVO 3d owners were gonna switch to the phones in the title, im gsm and lte wont be hitting the uk (like the evo 3d wasnt)
UNTIL ICS WAS LEAKED
and then changed there mind, deciding, the EVO still has life left in the old baby yet
I'll still be upgrading
Sent from my PG86100
I'll be pre ordering the LTE for sure. I upgrade once a year no matter what.

honestly the best way to use an upgrade is on a iPhone (if you like them), because sprint devices drop value after 2-3 months you could pick one up used for contract price from craigslist

That's not a bad idea. Get the iPhone for contract price. Sell it for way more. Buy a used Evo LTE. Then keep the profit.

I'm still going to preorder the LTE but if Newt gets his Rom running 100percent I may keep my 3d
Method1911 3D
HTC has announced that the One X won't be unlockable on AT&T. If they don't allow unlocking on Sprint, how will that affect your decision? I'm sure a dev or three will eventually find a hole and give us a root method, but I'm sure it won't be easy and may be a good bit of a wait.
Yes that's a good point. If it cannot be unlocked, I'll keep my 3d.
Method1911 3D
I'll be ordering mine in 20 hours 18 mins and 15 seconds
HTC really shot themselves in the foot, not that im complaining
Still getting the EVO LTE the EVO 3d is good and has life but its missing something what idk
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
the evo 3d is still good, not the best phone possible obviously but more than "good enough" with this update, I dont think that I will upgrade at least for six months more, probably next year.
my money now will go toward a new tablet instead of a new phone.
ICS is nice but the New Camera, Kickstand, S4 Krait, 16GB, HD Voice, LTE, NFC and Sense 4.0 with the new EVO is really tempting.
If anything, ICS/Sense 3.6 made my 3D go up in value.
I'm going to need a Sprint leak or final before I actually sell though. Can't roam with the current VM leak.

I think Agrabren mentioned something about finding an exploit in the S4 chip and stated that REVOLUTIONARY will only support qualcom chips. We should be in good shape with or without HTC's unlock, though I doubt Sprint will restrict unlocking.
Think I'm going to wait for the s3 i love sense but I'm tired of HTC the so called flagship phones come out with a bang then in 3 months or less they are forgotten look at the 3d and rezound
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The OneX is unlockable even on AT&T. HTC announced they understood that customers were very upset that they could not unlock their devices and decided to make all new phones since the 3d, unlockable. As far as sense3.6, I'm not that excited about it. Sense 4.0 is still way much better. I'm going to get the OneX when it comes to sprint in June. But the name is going to be changed, adding it to the evo family. I hear its suppose to be the best evo yet, even topping the Evo4g LTE. I'm excited.

When the OneX joins Sprints Evo family, its said to have removeable SD unlike AT&T version. As for the removeable battery, I'm sure there is a way, there is ALWAYS a way.

Works for me. I pre-ordered my Evo 4G LTE the other day to replace my Evo 3D. My teenage son is on Virgin Mobile with an LG Optimus V now, so maybe I'll be able to upgrade him to my EVO 3D once I get my EVO 4G LTE.
