Hello from new E3D owner - HTC EVO 3D

Thought I would say hi. Got my EVO 3d today and it has just finished charging so taking it for a run. Had the original Desire before getting the XPlay in January on a great deal. The Xplay kept rebooting so sent it back as I read online that it was a hardware issue. Got my second one a couple weeks later which also had the same problem so sent that back too. Got 3rd and final one which did not reboot, but did go absolutely nuts when I typed a message. It would type by itself, open my apps, my phone app and call numbers randomly. As a result of 3 Xplays being crappy, I said I wanted something decent. Saw this(3D) on their(dial a phone) website and they said i could have it so jumped at it. The phone might be getting on but I figure that as i am on a 12 month contract with 3 already gone, I figured what the heck. Got the Xplay at £36 per month for 12 months with 6 months free by redemption. So effectively £18 a month for 12 months. Due to the problems with the Xplays I got a month refund and will be pushing for a second too, so most likely paying under 200 quid for the phone over the course of the contract. This will be my interim phone for the year as i assess what WP8 will look like. Until then I am going to have a load if fun with this phone. Just thought to say what's up

I feel the same, I haven't had a decent HTC phone since my HD2 broke (bought a cheap pre-owned Wildfire S which was too slow for my needs, then thought it would be good to be "different" and try the ChaCha... Big mistake!), and after foolishly choosing a Galaxy S2 on contract, I swapped it for an EVO 3D and 50 pound cash, best thing I could have done .
Ps welcome back .

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.

EVO 3d how to get a upgrade in contract

Ok, so I have been on Sprint now for about 3 months now, I want a EVO 3d bad since sense 3.0 isn't very smooth on my EVO 4G. How would I go about with talking Sprint to let me upgrade for $200? Since I have not been with them for that long.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
well since u have been with them for more than 30 days you have nothing to leverage with. u have to wait or open a new line
I guess I will have to look around on amazon. Soon I will be rocking that wonder of a phone.

why on earth would you deserve another discount you just got one 3 months ago.
sell your phone on ebay and put it towards a new phone.

To even attempt to get an early upgrade, you need to be at least 6 months into your contract.

If your wife has been with sprint for 10 years then she might be able to get the EVO 3d for you haha.

MY 1st impressions

Well today I made it a point to go to the Sprint Corporate store to handle a EVO 4G LTE, and left totally amazed. I didn't pick one up because last year my EVO 3D performed like crap when I 1st picked it up. It was freezing and dropping calls until I replace it with a Photon.
So I figure I don't need a phone now and will wait a few weeks to see what head aches it has software wise with bugs. This is because 15 days is not log enough to find bugs and its unfair to buy a phone and be stuck with a a fail.
That said I like the thought of GSIII, but after handling this phone and how gorgeous it looks I say that the LCD 2 screen, SVDO and HD voice makes it the best android device on the market along with its camera performance. When I 1st looked at it I thought it was a demo unit with the screen that brilliant until I picked it up and interacted with it.
Speeds are blazing, there is no lag sense is not over whelming, and I just can't see anyone hating on this device based on my interface. for the 1st time I don't feel the need to use any other launcher. I feel that if there are no bugs that I can just use it and go until the next 800 LTE drops.
I barley use Wimax so going to this until LTE arrives in NYC will be fine for me. The user experience is that good IMHO. Some of you think sticking with and old device is better until LTE arrives, and that's ok. I say if you want a light weight phone that performs superbly until LTE don't be afraid to try this. Just hope that there are no bugs, or that they are just minimal like I am.
Have been enjoying mine for about 4 hours today with no problems. VERY please coming from the original Evo 4G

Just gave my 3D to my wife and picked up the EVO LTE. Screen is amazing. Phone is very well put together and very thin! Makes the 3D feel like a dated bulky dinosaur.
Your OP just caused me to forsee the next worst phone name (not that I really give 2 squirts about the name, personally) HTC Evo 4g 800 LTE lol

[Q] Are YOU an HTC EVO 3D owner and have an HP Touchpad?

-----PLEASE READ------
I'd like to conduct a survey. First of all, almost ANYWHERE on there EVO 3D forums you will find someone with the combination of these two devices:
1. HTC EVO 3D
2. HP Touchpad
So, LIKE MYSELF, ARE YOU A 3VO AND A HP TOUCHPAD OWNER?
Me!!!!! I have a Touchpad running CM9 I've also noticed that people have that combo _
Sent from my MetroEvo3D powered phone .
Then VOTE!!!! XD
I tried to get the Touchpad for a while when it went on sale but all my orders were cancelled and I refuse to pay more than $150 knowing that most people got it for $100..so I'm a proud owner of just the EVO 3D
got em both
yup. i have both of them and an acer iconia a500 and a galaxy tab 10.1...do love the touchpad
Yup
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
I do, love it. Except I'm ready to get my upgrade and bail on the phone.
Snagged a 32GB while it was on sale during the crazy firesale that went on. Took a lot of refreshing and searching local Wal-Marts, but both my brother and I got our hands on one (for each of us). Must say it is an exceptional piece of hardware for the price.
I got the touchpad for £89 and the Evo 3D for £200
Both were complete bargains for the spec!
My other phone / tablet are HTC desire and Moto Xoom

As of yesterday i sold my touchpad and ordered a Nexus 7.....so i'm not part of this combination 'crew' any more =P
Yes. I bought two touchpads during the fire sale.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Got a touchpad shortly after the firesale for $100. Best money ever spent. Shattered my screen on my 3d about a month ago, and getting a galaxy s2 from asurion as a replacement tomorrow. So sadly I will be leaving this combo group. Hopefully I enjoy the galaxy s2 as much as my evo.
I have the HP Touchpad and the HTC EVO 3D, and I preordered the Google Nexus 7!
I got a 32GB HP Touchpad for $170!

Agreed. I was able to get a 32GB HP Touchpad for just $170. I must say, thats the best $200 I've ever spent. :laugh:
I own both but that may change soon. I just bought an Acer icon is 500w and I would own the sg3 if it wasn't for me just paying for my summer vacation. I hate this phone personally. My original evo was much better and I only paid 100 for the 3d.

I own both and SHOULD be getting nexus 7 soon too xD
I tried getting a hp many times. HP left a real sour taste in many people's mouth with how poorly they handled the fire sale, especially for the hp employees. After playing with one I'm not sad I missed out. Guess I would have to see a rooted one with a custom rom for the final verdict. Plus know what the majority of people paid for them I refuse to buy one at rediculous prices. I've seen them for $200-375, no thanks. I'm happy the way it turned out though. I love my toshiba thrive with full size ports. I can do things most tablets only dream about.

Once owned a 3d, now an epic touch, soon an old evo. As far as tablets, 6 ipads in the family, can't beat those microcenter prices.

Sprint early upgrades

Any one heard of corporate stores doing early upgrades this year for premier members like they did last year in December
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Usually they want a early upgrade fee...it is based on how many months are left on our contract... its resonable ....usually
Sent from a lens flare powered EVO LTE
Last year it was a special promotion. Early upgrades,no strings attached. Got two iPhones without any extra buy out charge. Both lines had 6 months left.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I just did an early (3-1-2013) for one of my lines. Had to pay $50 bucks, plus give them my Google Nexus Phone (which they gave me $28 for it) and I bought the S3, out the door $264. I was going to buy a new/used one on CL for $400, so that was a killer deal to me....btw I just did it yesterday adn I do have a biz account
The giving them your phone part is the real kick in the nuts. To Hell with that.
You pay the early upgrade fee to make up for the remainder of the subsidy and still have to give the phone up, they are smoking some good crack.

thats how i got this phone.. i had the evo 3d.. i had 1 year left on my 2 year contract.. it cost me 150$ for the early upgrade and 200$ plus tx for the phone... then i sold my evo 3d on craislist for 130$.. so it cost me 150$ to upgrade 1 year early.. i didnt have to give them my other phone at all.. i sold that **it!!:good: ima do another early upgrade if i can when the next evo comes out in the summer i need a new phone every year.. i get bored fast plus i need that newest toy
That was a special offer for a month or two . Now you have to give up your old phone. And like I said earlier, F that
