I would stick with the Evo 3D. Once you play some 3D games or watch some 3D movies, you will see that it's an awesome feature to have the 3D. If you want better performance and don't care about the 3D features, you can install an AOSP rom. I think the Evo 3D is some of the best hardware out there right now.

Try the EPIC 4G Touch forums as most people only have one phone, and most of the people who frequent the EVO 3D forums have the EVO 3D and not the EPIC.
Good luck to you! I actually just traded back to the EVO because of personal tastes phone-wise but the SGSII is very very nice! I loved It's camera and SAMOLED cannot be beat!

looks like im gonna just stick with it
I've have both. Evo 3D is my choice. In fact I gave my SG S2 to my neice for Christmas. Evo 3D is nicer. Not as snappy but the hardware is real quality.
I recently picked up the Evo 3d, and my dad got the E4GT. I've played with both, and while I will say that out of the box the E4GT does feel much more snappy, the combination of the size, "premium" feel (build quality), ROM options, features, and just overall fun, the Evo 3d wins all day. Plus, I am not a huge fan of Touchwiz, and I love Sense, so it's a no brainer for me. Good luck with your decision!
The epic touch 4g is huge compared to the Evo 3D. I actually wish the 3D was closer in dimensions to the evo 4G. I prefer the wider device, vs taller. The ET4G is both wider, and taller than the 3D.
But to your trade question, you will probably need to pony up some $$ with the trade, as the ET4G has a higher resale value at this time.
@OP I am glad you stuck with the 3D. Here in Atlanta at the Sprint service center they are constantly having issues with the SGSII dropping calls, GPS issues, and random reboots. people have been coming in and trading for the E3D.
I recognize that this may not be across the board, but when Sprint's own techs all have E3Ds and say they wouldn't touch a SGSII, that is an indicator to me.

While my experience is just anecdotal, but my wife and I have the same issues as the ET4G users, and I have a Evo 3D, and she has a Evo 4G. It's completely tower related, for me though, because if I leave the tower covering my house, I have almost no issues. But at home (my work is also on the same tower), I don't receive calls, sometimes texts don't go through, sometimes have no data, dropped calls, and I get random reboots. I'm in the Atlanta area.
I have both to .. the s2 is more my fav but I am such an HTC fan that I love the 3d to LOL

Unfortunately, all companies are like this now. I remember HTC had dust under the screen issues with the Hero. Issues with the covering on the buttons coming off. The Evo 4G had light leakage issues, stuck pixels, and the digitizer not attached firmly to the body of the phone (usually only one side was affected). But, it looks like HTC has spent more time on QC on their hardware lately, when I look at my 3D. Now, when we pick a phone, we must choose the one that looks to be the lesser of all evils.
That's pretty much what I did... gave mine to someone I know that wanted the 3D and just paid the $199 for the upgrade on their account and swapped it out. Honestly I hated that I even wasted my upgrade on the 3D after a while... I think I used the 3D features maybe a week or two before forgetting all about em. IMO, pretty much everything was an upgrade but it's all personal preferences. Had I not been having some medical issues right after I bought it I would've returned it though.
And to the person that says Samsung cares about quantity over quality, let's not sit here and act like HTC has done anything to improve the issues these phones have had since the Evo came out. You'd think by now they'd be able to make a phone without the massive light leakage at the bottom but they're yet to even try to fix it. And let's not forget the debacle with the touch pro where probably 1 out of every 3 of them had the keyboard to go dead. And I won't even start on the tons of problems we had with the Thunderbolts. All of these companies are about the money first, that doesn't mean they have to sacrifice anything. Hell no one is more about money than Apple but they still consistently have the best build quality out there.
And personally between the last HTC phones ive had, i've had more problems than i've had with the GS2. But hey, that's just me.

The Epic 4G is just too damn wide. I almost bought it before I held it. The Evo has great dimensions. Plus the low resolution will be annoying.
I have a Nexus S too and the resolution isn't great even on the 4" screen. It'll be awful on 4.5.

Well i thought this phone was gonna be epic, which it really isnt that bad, just i feel as if htc really really skipped out on the quality of this phone, people taking phones back 3 or 4 times is just unacceptable, and all of these bugs in the software are ridiculous, from bad signal strength to wake locks, dead pixels and just careless quality issues like dust under the screen and in the cameras, just wish htc would of taken more time to get this one right since its such a fast and highly anticipated phone! My trust and reliability in htc has been lowered due to this product!

I haven't had one single issue with my phone that you referred to. But to be honest those issues happen to all phones when first released. There are always bad phones that get released first. Oh well ish happens....
I love the phone, and the fact that they #TEAMWIN just verified the 3D to be overclocked to 1.7 ghz with no unlocked bootloader is just a small hint of what this phone is about to become. SWEET!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats.....thanks for the unnecessary post. Take the phone back if you want.
Also, keep in mind that a lot of the people returning the phones are OCD about things typical people would never notice (most people here, including myself are).
The construction is great compared to any other phone. Compare it to the SGS2. Yes we have dead pixels, and etc. But the SGS2 has the same things, and even more (tinted screen, gps, massive over heating, etc).
All phones have problems. That is the result of an customizable, open system like android. Companies cannot catch everything in their testing. If you want a nearly (again, nearly, not perfect) phone upon release...then get an iphone and leave us be with our initially bug, but eventually awesome, killer phones we call androids.

I too was expecting to be blown away since I was coming from a samsung epic. After only a few days with my first HTC phone, I really don't know what the big deal is. Yeah ok the phone is 3d, but after a few pictures and video, I havnt used it at all. The phone is heavy like a brick compared to my epic. The screen doesn't have fighting chance against the epic, but it is sharper. I just have a feeling the galaxy s 2 will blow away this phone in every way. One thing I do like about this phone is I'm in love with sense 3.0

First of all don't use the word "epic" when talking about an htc device. It's just not right!
Joking aside some people have bad luck with phones and I am sure there are bad batches of every device no matter who makes it. I hear people talking about dead pixels and bugs everytime a new device comes out. I have never had any major issues with any of my HTC devices I have ever owned. I love this thing more everyday I have it. Call me an htc fanboy if u will but there is a reason I always go with HTC.

Your view on the screen is exactly that, only your view. I personally, after comparing the evo3d to a friend's SGS2, prefer everything about the evo 3d. The screen resolution is awesome, and the colors are very accurate. I compared both phones to a color calibrated monitor. All three devices had the same picture. The evo3d looked just like the monitor....while the SGS2 look grossly oversaturated.
Here is a perfect example. I use my phone to view a lot of images taken with fluorescent microscopes. If I view the picture on my evo3d...it looks perfect. If we view it on my buddies SGS2...the picture is completely unreadable/you can't make an conclusion about your data.
In terms of the rest of the phone...I have posted this page before.
http://www.droidgamers.com/index.ph...1661-dual-core-beasts-the-decision-to-buy-one
Maybe I seem like a fanboy. But I have used and researched both phones. They both are awesome! But I prefer the evo 3d.
Should have saved your .02 !!
Samsung FTW...... oh wait, what is today? HTC day? Ok sorry.... HTC FTW!!
It really depends on the flavor of the week. Im sticking with my 3D. Ive liked HTC products since they were known as UTStarcom (Apache days).
Hello,
I still think it is far to early in the game to really know any definitive answers about the true potential of the 3VO as the overwhelming majority of Software out there does not take advantage of the Dual Core's of the 3D.
In time, this phone will be fully Rooted and there will also be Software that takes greater advantage of the 3D's Processing Capabilities.
In the mean time, there is far more Memory on the 3D over the 4G, a higher resolution Screen, Sense 3.0 (I realize some do not care for Sense, but I do), and more.
I really think for whatever reason that after some Professional Reviews took a negative take on this Phone, many people have seen the worst in the Phone. All I can say is that if you are not happy, by all means Return it. I personally think it to be a mistake, but it is your money. And with Samsung, they are slow in Releasing Android OS Updates, so while the new Galaxy might be compelling, all is not perfect there.
Cheers,
JJ

Well I didnt what to get into details, cause I dont have my EVO long enough. But right out the box, I feel like the epic screen is much better. Also the EVO feels much heavier. I also didn't feel the difference between processors.
My lcd is tilted. I went in to exchange it and the new phone had a tilted lcd and a dead pixel. Obviously I kept the first one. I haven't had any software issues and this thing runs like a dream. It does suck that there are these hardware issues but it doesn't seen like there are more issues than with most phones that are released. My wife for instance is on her 5th epic 4G and I am taking it into Sprint tonight to have it looked at for another issue..

Hey guys and girls,
I'm coming back to the smartphone world - had a Droid and an EVO. Loved them both. I see that the Photon's bootloader is unlocked - but it drops 4G access, etc.
is this ever going to change? with the release of the source is development for the phone going to pick up?
I cannot wait any longer to get a phone. At this point my choices are EVO 3D or a Photon, (and maybe returning either for a SGS2 once it releases and I see how it fares)
If you were in my shoes, had to get a phone tomorrow - would you get the Photon or the EVO 3D?

I'm not worried about the 3D - I'm worried about the future of the device. It seems the dev community for the EVO 3D is much larger at this point and I'm worried that development for the Photon won't get as far because of the issues with 4G being dumped, etc.
I've owned motorola and htc devices before, like i said, and I liked both - I just want to make sure that I can customize it through ROMs and still have full functionality.
Is the Tegra 2 better than the SnapdragonX2?

In my opinion, those reviews come from EVO 3D and wannabe GS2 owners. Haters are gunna hate.
As an analogy, I believe that part of the issue is that standard def signals are being put into an HD screen. You know, a standard TV actually looks better than an HD TV with a standard signal because the HD TV shows the flaws. Just my2cents.

defiantly Photon, Evo 3D has horrible service, and the Photon just runs smoother in my opinion
For what its worth I traded my Evo3D for the MoPho, mainly because of battery life. I've been thrilled with it. MoPho vs SG2... well, thats a different issue.
I think my main complaint with the MoPho is that the USB and HDMI ports cannot be used when using the kickstand. I know why they did it, to sell more docks, but its annoying as hell and makes the stand damn near useless IMO. Got rid of Blur almost immediately with launcherpro so no problems there. The thing has already been rooted, easily, and the kernal release its a matter of weeks before ROMs start to land..
For sure go with MoPho over the evo3D. People who say that the 3D's battery life "isn't that bad" are lying to your face.

Photon 4G HANDS DOWN!
First off, let me preface this by stating I am a die-hard EVO 4G backer! That phone has been the best phone (so far) I have ever owned! Hands down! Now, I am a business owner and require a sturdy, reliable, functional phone to conduct my daily business.
I have owned a Samsung Nexus S, Photon 4G, and an EVO 3D. They all have their issues. But in terms of signal strength, call quality, loudness, speed, battery life, and overall functionality, FOR ME... hands down...the Photon 4G performed the best.
The EVO 3D is fast and pretty but for what I need it to do, it sucks! I have had random reboots, weak signal strength, call drops, the speaker quality sounds like crap compared to the photon, BATTERY LIFE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!, and to top it off, I use square to collect payments from clients and when I connect it, the 3D thinks it is headphones and starts to play my music player! Let's just say some clients aren't really big Tupac fans as I am! Then when i am finished with the transactions and unplug the square device, I can ONLY talk to people using the speaker phone UNTIL I reboot the phone.
I love HTC from a development standpoint, but rooting and dealing with the 3D doesn't take on the same amount of ease as the OG 4G did. I love trying out different ROMs but from a business standpoint, I need functionality and dependability. I know some of you may say 'maybe you just had a lemon'. Let's just say that after the third 3D from different lots, I would say 'nyet'!
The Photon is not without its issues but for my requirements, Motorola Photon is my choice. Launcher pro took care of the motoblur issue. I will say this...the moment there is a AOSP ROM out for the photon, I will be getting it!
I loved the Samsung Nexus S for its smoothness. Didn't have major issues although the signal strength was a little weak and the loudness (ear piece, ringers, and speaker) sucked. Looking forward the the Epic 4G touch (SGS2)!
Regards,
Robert

This is the Photon forums so yea.....get a Photon.
As for the 4g, source code has only been out for a day. It is being worked on and for sure will soon have custom kernels and unlocked bootloader w/everything working. Peeps just need to have a little patience. This phone got root almost right out of the gate not to mention we already have custom recovery. From my perspective, developement of the Photon is moving ahead rapidly. Phone has only been out for little over a month.

Amen to that statement.
Yeah, they do have a beautiful screen but considering the number of times that Samsung's dropped the ball in supporting their products after its released with timely fixes and maintenance releases, endless delays for upgrading to the latest Android platform, not to mention being notorious for having a lousy GPS function, I'm a bit surprised that anyone is considering one of their phones as a viable option.
As G W Bush would say, "There's an old saying in Tennessee that we also have in Texas. Fool me once, shame on you.... Fool me, can't get fooled again."
No thanks Samsung. Your beautiful screens are great on televisions. But I don't care to have one on my phone if you can't support them after making them.

What's wrong with a little positive?
Lol.... Kinda the reason why I posted the thread I did. Just wanted to make sure the devs here know I appreciate their work. They are the true backbones in the android world. Google had the idea first, but the devs over there unfortunately have to design it for everybody, not just us who like to tinker. So that's where communities like this one are so valuable, and why Linux/android was the best idea for smart phones since the smart phone was invented.... Everybody is happy.

Love this phone,development kicks ass,light leakage my ass and who cares,tilted screen? Tilt your head the other way! CM7!!!!!!
from my 333dddeeevvvooo
Let me put it this way.
Virtually every single issue I had with this phone was software related, and with the 2.3.4 update from HTC, almost all of them are gone.
This phone is great and from a software standpoint, it's almost there too.
HTC EVO 3D 9/10 and easily the best phone I've owned to date.
But then again, so was the EVO 4G and Touch Pro2.
HTC EVO 4G 8/10
HTC Touch Pro2 9.5/10 (while it scored higher, this was due to how awesome HTC Sense and Windows Mobile 6.1 were for me at the time and its worldphone capability. There was nothing I couldn't do with that phone.)

My evo3d has been perfect from day 1.
I never had to do a return, and any issues that I did have, like crummy 3g, etc., were solved after a little reading on my part...(not by taking the phone back six times). Do I have a dead pixel? I don't think so, but if you held a magnifying glass to my phone and told me that I did, I wouldn't be surprised...(same thing goes for my screen possibly being tilted by one pixel as well). I seriously do not get it when I see complaints like that. I don't measure the pixels on a new TV, nor do I measure the carpet trim under the doors when I buy a new car, to make sure the "shag ratio" is correct.
So yeah, I'm still loving every bit (pun intended) of my Evo3d.

I just read that HTC is the number one cell phone supply last quarter. Im a happy buyer. Hope everyone else is too.

I'm not. HTC has gotten too comfortable with how things are going and are now becoming the next Samsung. They are pumping out uglier phones at a higher rate with more issues and less and less QC than normal--and that's bad.
HTC needs to go back to being "hungry" like they were in the Windows Mobile/early Android days. Their same tired design and irritating design flaws and hardware/software issues are becoming so bad, that I almost find myself wanting to switch to Motorola or even the dreaded iPhone (once it receives a worthy upgrade, not the 4S). Except on the Sprint network, nothing really comes close to the EVO 3D in my opinion. The Epic 4G Touch, while a fantastic phone, does not meet my standards either. I am not looking to downgrade my screen resolution just to get a minimal increase in phone performance or battery life. Plus the Epic 4G Touch seems a bit too plasticy for my tastes and seems to be very fragile from so much plastic. I don't mind a thin phone, or even a light phone, but damn you can't have both and feel comfortable enough in your purchase. Use higher quality materials PLEASE instead of worrying about pushing out 45 phones a year.
Sales translate into resources. More resources will allow more wiggle in the r&d dept. HTC are still hungry, they had the first 4g phone, followed by the first 3d phone. Seeing sammy and apple t
Chasing a such a small company is pretty amazing and i hope htc doesnt think they coast because this is only for this quarter most likely.

I was hardcore HTC fan until the evo3d, it was a disappointment for me for various reasons. I hope they can put out an Evo4g like phone so I can come back.
I am happy to see HTC as the top brand now.
Most of the issues I have with HTC are all provider issue.

Dont have to challege, numbers show that htc out sold samsung and apple this quarter. Personally i love my 3d and its head and shoulders ahead of the og evo and every other phone ive owned. U read on xda and it makes htc sound bad because most love stock android. I think that makes up the smallest % of phone users and is one reason apple is praised for their os.

I still like their devices quite a bit. Not a challenge, it's a matter of opinion.
I had to return mine and get a replacement due to a very crooked screen but you know what? Sh*t happens. Take a look around. All these companies are cranking new stuff out faster than is humanly possible if you want to release a perfect device that will guarantee no problems. Look at Apple and their last two iPhones. They're supposed to be tops in quality and manufacturing. But look at the iPhone 4 and "antennagate", the free bumpers, the screens turning yellow and green. And now the 4S with the battery life issues.
Bottom line: almost everything produced today has early release issues. You want a perfect device: be willing to pay 2x what you pay today for it and wait longer for it! Hell, even IF you release a perfect product, there will still be whiners.
I say HTC is on par with the best.

Well there is such a device lol, it is on the carrier to request them.
The EVO 4G+ would be that phone.
I'm pretty happy with HTC.
What I hate is their policy as far as the bootloaders go & their pathetic timing & quality of the kernel source releases.
Embrace the community 100% or go screw yourself.
They need to fire the team who works on them. Samsung does this right & from what I hear so does Sony, HTC has no excuse not to.
The largest mobile 3rd party Dev community STARTED with HTC devices under the XDA-model line of phones, they should be the ones flaunting & the standing poster-OEM for this.
I do like HTC's upgrade-ability situation, the EVO 4G was a shining example of this.
I like HTC Sense & will continue to buy models with HTC Sense.
I also like the Dev following & the kernel devs who've rolled with us on Sprint/HTC.
And with that, I'll continue to be a HTC user.
Well the htc evo design is out. Any word on how it is? I wouldnt downgrade from my 3d but i would bump up my wifes nexus s 4g.

Good luck with that POS. Before you make the leap of death, go over to the Epic Touch 4G forums and see their issues.

Why is it that our phones are under rated. I mean seriously? I see so many reports that the GS3 is the best Android phone of fall 2012, I would disagree. Although it is a great phone, I would not think that it is the best, if anything I would say EVO LTE and GS3 would be tied at that spot. Would anyone disagree? This is really irritating me!
Its not underrated, its more like under the radar. Lets face it the EVO is a small name in the industry when you have a device across all carriers which is selling at record numbers. The EVO is viewed more as the little engine that could.

So I wonder why they didnt just keep the EVO name across the board rather than come out with the One Series? IMO, I think that the sales for the EVO name aren't gonna stick in the future when they are bringing out same products with different names. Samsung and Apple both market for pretty much one specific phone and run with it, aside from the new Galaxy Notes

Don't forget the promo for the Galaxy SIII is out of control, almost every other commercial is for Samsung that's another big part of that. It has become the house good name for android. Everybody and there mom knows about the SIII and the Iphone even if they don't look at phone the way we do because they have done a great job commercializing the phones.

Little exposure compared to its predecessor & even less than the OG EVO which had a lot of TV time.

Does anyone care whether or not our phone gets the publicity? As far as I'm concerned we have the best kept secret in smartphones.
The constant bashing for the LTE issue is not helping it either. Sprint still has not said officially that they are working on a fix with HTC. This phone had LTE issue in the lab before it launched but Sprint needed the phone to launch otherwise they would risk losing many accounts coming off their 2 year with no new flagship phone to go to. So it was rushed out the gate, and HTC/Sprint have tried to fix the modem twice with an OTA, but have failed both times. My hope that a 3rd round will correct the issue is getting weaker by the day.
I think I'll be taking advantage of the GS3 upgrade on Black Friday and rotating the "EVO Can't do-LTE" to of my other lines that really doesn't care about 4g. Love the EVO's battery life, screen, performance etc, but the LTE issue just hits hard. Kinda like buying a sports car with a nice V8, it looks good, but the manufacturer just hasn't figured out how to get the computer to make all 8 cylinders fire correctly so it's running on 4 cylinders for now.

The difference between HTC and Samsung, I believe, is their market approach.
Samsung has it right. They sell one major phone on multiple carriers, advertise it in ways that appeal to their largest audience (probably 15-35). And they have a few other lower end phones too.
HTC doesn't understand this, I suppose. The One series was halfway there. But then the EVO is too exclusive. Then, to dig HTC deeper into their hole, instead of focusing on marketing and updates for the One series line up, they for some reason think they would come out ahead by spending time and money in development for these new One X+ things.
WTF?
Though I am an HTC fanboy, mostly a Sense Fanboy, I don't deny HTC's bad strategies as a company. If I didn't think TouchWiz looked like something from the Dollar General, I might get a GS3. But what it comes down to when a user chooses a phone today, is what User Interface does that person prefer? Sense? TouchWiz? iOS? BlackberryOS? That is the determining factor, I believe.

BTW,
I loved the other day when a coworker was showing off her new iPhone 5 to everyone who was gathered around. She said, "AND IT DOES VOICE TO TEXT NOW!"
Sorry, had to make fun.
i work at best buy and everyone looking for the gs3, after showing them my phone. they are like i will take that one. i have yet to have a customer take the gs3 over the evo. but they just didnt know the evo was even out. and they were coming from the old one.
i think the evo lte is the best phone out.. not just because i have it but the screen is bangin.. battery life is great.. the lte beats any other phone in quadrants.. linpacks.. antutu benchmarks u name it.. it is funny how the LTE gets NO love at all.. when ever i read write ups on phone tec the LTE never ever gets mentioned.. the LTE is the beast thats nobody talks about.. the gs3 is a dope phone also i just dont like touch wiz at all.. im a HTC guy.. my babys mother has the gs3 i rooted it for her and flashed a few roms on it.. 2 top phones out rite now the evo lte & the gs3!!! :good:
If you ask me, I say this phone is overrated to be honest. This is coming from someone that has owned all 3 of the EVOs. The specs of the phone looks great on paper, but the phone just doesn't perform that well in the real world. Seems like there's more time spent trying to get the phone to run right instead of just enjoying it. HTC failed BIG TIME when they screwed-up the phone's ability to multitask properly. I've been a member of this site for over 6 years and have a very low post count since I've mainly lurked throughout the years. A large portion of my current post count is because of this EVO and trying to get it to run smoothly. This is my second one, btw.
Anytime you have to rely on a web site to fix multiple problems for things that a manufacturer should have made sure were working properly before selling to consumers equals a huge fail IMO. There's a large portion of people on these forums that don't mind spending all of their free time tinkering and fixing their phones, but for an average consumer that leads a busy lifestyle, do you really think they want that kind of hassle, especially if they're not tech savvy? HELL NO!!!

The EVO is exclusive to Sprint, they created the brand because the needed a big push to compete with the other service providers. They weren't just trying to out do Apple, never were. The Apple bashing was to help solidify the brand as a recognizable device easily capable of matching the top smartphone at the time. The biggest problem is that the EVO line is Sprint exclusive, its not underrated by any means
Lol...I own both. I love both
Both will be old news within 2 months lol

I agree completely.
I also think the built in kickstand sets the EVO line apart from others . I watch a lot of netflix at work and see other peeps.using books to hold there phone up
I wish it was a bit beefier but its just as strong as the old kick stand and has the built in spring for extra support. I like that u can flip it any way I want and still prop it up
