Even if it weren't, after seeing how tough of a time the developers are having with AOSP on the EVO 3D, I wouldn't get it.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/htc-evo-3d-prototype/
Engadget said that HTC told them it was a prototype for the next evo but decided to not do 3D. thats fine anyways because i know its whats slowing down our ics update. i wont buy another 3D phone ever
Sorry, not interested. 3d seems to be the reason that we can never get the camera working on the various roms. I have used 3d exactly 6 times since last june, all to show how it works.
If you love it, then I am happy for you and hope that they come out with a 3d variant for you, but not at the expense of the regular one.
Mmm gimmicky closed source implementations that delay developers...nah no thanks. Keep it open and honest.

why blame it on 3d none of the msm8660 devices that have cam working on aosp [sensation.vivid.rezound] have gotten it working from source...theyre just using the leaked libs/binaries they got from their ics leak..we would be able to do the same if we got an ics leak of our own..

+1 and +1 for 3D. I would love to have it on a 4.7" 720p display!

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
i get mad when my camera switch somehow get set to 3d, because then i have to switch it back to 2d so i can take a picture i can actually view without searing my retinas like tuna steaks.
3d was something i was excited about, then i used it that day, and then never again. not worth it IMO.
plus AOSP=sex
Wow, thanks for giving us the link! Will get it for sure

Yea looking at the video and where they show the EVO 4G LTE 3D (how horrid a name that'd be) prototype they show a bunch of other prototypes that weren't final next to it also. one even looked like the OG EVO.
Plus there is a reason 3D looks a bit better on the Optimus 3d (it does I promise) and that's because of the lower resolution. So I don't know how well a 720p stereoscopic display would come out.
I think ill just wait for the "EVO 4G 3D HD skyrocket SIII Maxx" to come out for my next device
I believe it would be smart for sprint to release 2 variations, a 3D one and the current one. The current 3D users could keep their 3D feature while having an even better phone or for the ppl tht don't want 3D, they could still get this badass phone! Sprint/HTC would be making more money and everyone who wants one of the variations would be happy tht there is the option....
Seems like a WIN WIN situation to me....

I'm not saying that it's for sure coming, but....
If it really was coming, they would absolutely not come out and say that right now. They want this new phone to be the biggest and must hyped thing on the market. There is now way they would compromise the launch with news if an upgraded model on the horizon. Of course they aren't admitting to one being made right now.
Want to make the next evo fail? Add 3D.

Would you switch to it from your 3D, or would you stay with your shooter?
I myself would switch to the 4G+. While the 3D camera is cool and all, it doesn't seem to allow for Image Stabilization or time stamp on image in the 2D camera on account of compatibility issues. Also, I've had a 5MP camera on my Hero WITH Image Stabilize and the time stamp on image features, and would love my next phone to have a better camera. 8MP and 1080 video sounds nice, and if all of the specs are the same as the 3D, then I think I'm there.
What do you all think? 3D or 4G+?
These posts are getting really lame; maybe they should create a "Migrage from EVO 3D" forum with all these whiny users.
The evo 3D and 4G+ sound like the exact same thing. Switching from the Evo 4G to the 3D is at least somewhat understandable for those who need the better specs, but wasting 600 dollars on something that is not really different from your phone is a terrible idea. Also, the 4G+ sounds like it will be on Verizon.
The 3d is htcs best phone. So the evo+ will be a downgrade. Prob more like the sensation since they wouldnt make the 3d second best

Megapixels really don't mean much. The og evo had an 8mp camera and it's pics were inferior to the camera in the 3d. The 5mp camera in the og epic took better pics than the 8mp camera in the og evo. If it has the same camera as the mt4g then it well have a good camera for a phone.

But anywho... ^^;
From what I read, the phones are supposed to be exactly the same, sans the camera. I agree, the camera is pretty nice on the 3D, but I am missing the features of a non 3D camera, (I mentioned the features didn't seem to be stable with the 3D feature).
Just curious about whether yall would stay with the 3D camera if you were given a choice.
Who knows, maybe by the time my upgrade comes around again there'll be something even better. lol

Sounds like a retarded idea. Switch from a phone to nearly the same damn phone for... 3mp difference? In probably ly number only?
Yeah. Bravo genius.
"HEY, war torn African people working slave conditions for the minerals used in phones. HEY, Assembly workers who work 30hr days and who will likely commit suicide because of the horrendous conditions. This guy wants an ever so slightly better camera in a phone that is exacting in every other way. Better work yourselves to death to keep up"
Its getting a little sickening hearing seeing all the threads of folks willing to drop something that has nothing wrong with it for something that is ever so slightly better and have no conscious about it.
Well ya, you're totally right. It is kinda not the brightest of ideas I suppose. I guess I'd really only switch to that one IF there wasn't another, better HTC phone coming out by the time my upgrade is up again.

Sense 3.6 not 4.0 on the sensation BTW. This confirmed by Jeff Gordon in a recent interview, who is in charge of global communications for HTC...also the guy is around this site too and posts some.
If 3D is pointless to you and you want to knock the device then why get it in the first place.
To the OP that choice is up to u as everyone has their own belief on it. It's like saying if u should get HTC or Samsung phone...endless debate and only one opinion matters and that's ur own.

That's a question for you to answer yourself. We can't tell you whether or not you like your phone. Me? I like this phone. It doesn't have the same impact as the OG Evo did on me (that being my first ever decent phone) but it's still a pretty solid phone. Been able to run ICS on it since I got it after the New Year. I see very little wrong with this phone.
Devs for the Evo are better. 'nuff said. Yeah. Thats right. I said at it. And I'm a badass too. Come at me.

Everything in this post, except for the timeframe of ICS updates, is so untrue. Just saying.
I was drawn to EVO 3d becouse of its design, like it more than Sensation. Having 1gb of rom, opposite to Sensations 768mb, was a one more reason to have it. Not to mention that it should be HTC's flag ship. When all started heading down hill, seed of doubt was planted. Wanted to hear other people opinions.

Love my evo, just not happy with sprints data speeds in my area, sensation is getting ics sooner which doesnt make since to me, what do i know though. I never really use the 3d feature. Sprint has some catching up to do service wise. If i was in the market now for a new phone and carrier, i would look elsewhere. Im not hating sprint or evo. Dont take it that way. In my area, dataspeeds are horrible, may be ok for you though if your in a major metro area.

The 1gb of RAM compared to the sensations 768Mb did it for me. Usually its not a huge deal...but c'mon we're talking about two sense phones here lol.
I personally do like the 3D feature of the device two, pretty much to the point so far where I might only purchase another phone if it had 3D (which is unlikely since im a minority)
If I were you, I'd get the Sensation because it has a bigger user base = more devs.

This.
Go where there is a more robust developing community. Not bashing anybody who develops on this phone since they made my EVO 3D a beast, but I realized that huge International phones like the Sensation and GSII are miles ahead in getting things done.
Guys, why did some of you buy the Evo 3D first hand at all - if not of for the 3D?
THAT should've been the main reason - best 3D compared to any other phone, and good overall performance for everything else (save the battery ). I was "back then" really drawn to the Sensation, but it had NO 3D. I'd have almost bought the LG, but luckily was saved by HTC
I never expected it to catch on, because the people apparently see 3D only as a gimmick (sic!), and a low priority one as that..."3D? Uh, yeah, cool... but does it play Angry Birds? Show me!"...
So, lessons learned: Next time buy the phone you need... I hope my 3D stays with me a long time.
Cheers

Because of the hardware inside, not the screen, or sense. Well at least for me, it was the best option when going the price to performance route.
Evo 3D owners, who will be jumping ship for the EVO One? My area I live in will be getting LTE in the KC roll out so definitely a plus. My main concern is that the phone can be S-OFF... I hope somebody can find a way. I waited to get the EVO 3D til it got S-OFF... but that LTE will be so tempting.

I will. This will definitely be good since they aren't going "LOLOLOLO QUAD CORE 5000GHZ" and are actually improving features that need to be improved, like screen resolution, etc.
I won't, the EVO 3D is perfectly fine for my current needs despite the lack of ROM choice for the GSM version . I will hold out for a new device with removable battery, external memory card support etc.

Yes, both my wife and I will both be getting the new phone. I'm the type of person that has to have the next thing out, exactly when it comes out. I'm hoping we get both white and black models so I can get each for my wife and I. We've never owned that same model phone at the same time, and that would just be irritating if we did and couldn't tell the difference without turning it on.
I am kinda of disappointed that the car dock that I bought for my EVO 3D won't work anymore. I like being able to drop the phone right in the dock and use it for navigation and Pandora, but it's whatever. I'll just get used to putting it back in my lap or whatever.

i think i´ll still keep my evo for a little longer

Sadly, no. 3D is not a very good feature - You have to be looking at it completely straight and strain your eyes just to see the 3D effect. It's not silky smooth like a moving hologram.
If you buy this phone solely for 3D, you'll end up being VERY disappointed. That said, everything else about this phone is great except for the fact that you can get the upcoming Evo LTE for $200 on a new contract. The Evo LTE looks like an insane beast of a phone. Insane beast.
Let me tell you a little story.
Actually, long story short, i hated my evo 3D, but the day i installed the official leaked ICS ROM things have changed. This phone is a complete BOMB, fast as hell, smooth as hell, no bugs, awesome 3d... man there is a day and night difference between gingerbread and ics and if you have the courage of installing a custom rom, this phone is hands down AMAZING and the best option! Heck, even the screen looks brighter on ics... i have fallen in love with my evo 3d... it's a joy to use it rather than a slow piece of **** it was with gingerbread... obviously the 3d isnt there in the ui, because if it was the battery would finish in half an hour!
Guess the story turned out to be pretty long but owell

thanks for telling me this! think im going to buy it after reading alot of reviews about it, sadly im not on contract so id never be able to afford the LTE and im in the uk so i dont think it would be avaible here
im actually not disappointed by the 3D, its an amazing wow feature for alot of my friends aswell. The 3D only exists on the photos and videos, youtube etc etc and not in the UI but even so it works really well for me
3D aside the phone is basically a sensation xe underneath so you will get alot of bang for your buck even if you never use the 3D
U can't find find, dual core with 1gb ram in under 350euros. So i think it's really good phone with good specs in low price.

I ended up selling it and getting the e4gt and dont regret it. The only thing i miss was the higher res screen. But if u enjoy sense u might like the 3d but its too bloated and slows down the phone. The speed difference between the e4gt and the evo 3d is very noticable. And htc is in the slow lane.

I agree that 3d is not what should sell this phone, its 1,2Ghz dual core processor, 1Gb ram, decent qHd screen etc. Those was the reasons why I bought it.

Been on the HTC bandwagon since the 4G. The 3D isnt a huge jump as the 4G was when it came out but certainly this is the first phone I can keep longer than 2 years if I needed to. ICS brings out its potential greatly and I've even fallen back in love with the new Sense 4.0.
Also, if you like, you always run ASOP if you hate Sense. But its funny when you browse other phone's threads and see people wishing to have Sense on their Sammy devices. Makes you proud.

Lol excuse me, im far from a troll. Why would the guy just want opinions from people who like the phone. I owned the phone and I didnt like it and i told him why. Thats exactly what he was looking for the good and the bad. It has high res screen. Camera sucks on it, but it does do 3d pics and videos. Its fast but not the fastest and slowed down a lot bc of sense. Sense looks great but is a little too much for my taste. If your trying to get wii controllers connected its impossible with sense roms. Typing on it isnt as fast and responsive as it should be. Running miui on it makes you realize how fast the phone should be. But when i had the phone 3d wasnt working on aosp/miui roms so if u wanted a fast rom you lose features. I like the looks of the evo3d. I had both the black and white evo3d and more people are impressed with my white e4gt. Its bulky and heavy compared to my e4gt. Honestly the only thing i miss is the higher res screen and sometimes the 3d.

Ignore the 3D feature unless you think you will use it, as the quality is not very good when taking the 3D yourself due to it only being 2MP :-(
The rest of the spec is good, and with it (hopefully) getting ICS soon, improvements in the pretty bad Sense implementation we have now will be much improved
1GB RAM on the phone really helps out and was one of the main reason for me getting this over my O2X.
It's good for the money... but other phones now like the new HTC X are WAY ahead.
Looks like Sprint didn't want a 3D phone for their One X variant and don't have any plans for one in the pipeline based on customer feed back

I figured this would happen. It's probably best since HTC uses the 3D as an excuse NOT to update the phone in line with their releases... I would've really liked to have another 3D phone, but if we don't get one, I'll be alright. I'll miss it, though.
They should have rejected HTC's hideous design for the 4G LTE *shudder*

No worries, 3D was just a gimmick anyway.

It wasn't a gimmick, it will be back. Just have to wait for better screens and cameras.

Sure it may have been a gimmick but to me, so is LTE. I've had the og EVO since launch and only recently picked up the 3d and have never used Wimax cuz it never even came close to.my area. LTE won't either and just like the "promised" Wimax how long will it really take?

Now, I have no intentions of getting the LTE but if I did I would say kudos for the lack of 3d....totally worthless (for me at least....I know some of you like it).
I liked the 3D portion as a novelty, but hated how it made getting working cameras such a pita.
I would like to have the 4g LTE but I'm with the other guy who said It's a crock, I'm on my 2nd WiMAX phone and have never used it beyond a trip to DC ..I highly doubt LTE will be in my area anytime soon. I'll pass on this years evo

**** you, Sprint.
Oh well, it sucks being just about the only person who loves the 3D features.

I really do think it is a crock man. I hope I'm proved wrong but judging on the past with Wimax I guess we will have to wait and see.

I enjoy the 3d as well at times, but its killer on my eyes.

It's kind of cool to show to people who've never seen it, but beyond that, I've tired of it. I wouldn't buy a phone based on its 3D capabilities (not why I bought this one either). I just don't think 3D on a phone is a killer feature.
Just wait until an iPhone comes out with 3D. I actually hope one does. Then it will force other phones to have it. As much as I hate Apple, they do have a place in the market. If they do something that Android doesn't have, like a NEW 3D phone, other manufacturers will almost be forced to do it.

Thank goodness. The last thing we needed was another fail 3D device. Kudos, Sprint!
I've used 3dcamera about 10 times.
It's just not worth it when 98% of my contacts can't view 3d. They can't send me 3d. Share a 3d image or vid on facebook no one can view it.
I was hoping for a 3d landscape GUI (sense) that didn't happen.
Only worth it for 3d games, and even then its not all that great.
I get WiMAX everywhere except for out in suburbia, so the LTE rollout when it happends here will be a great addition.

Meh I like the 3D feature it's grown on me. It's just something cool to have around to show off

I've said this before but I'll go ahead and say it again.
If Apple drops an iphone with 3D it will likely be a huge success. The main reason is because the people at Apple are smart/savvy and they will release enough 3D content to make it a real feature. The support will be there, apps, games, videos..it will prolly be loaded. The HTC/Android 3D is a complete and total joke..it was forgot about as soon as it shipped.
People will hate and say all the normal stuff they say about the iphone, but if it has more content, more stuff that makes you go "wow, that's cool" then it will by far and away smash the Evo 3D.
3D isn't going away. There will be 3D phones in the future.
Just because Sprint, who is notorious for making terrible business decisions, passed on a 3D phone, it doesn't mean the technology is dead.
I personally only take 3D pictures and videos. I will only buy 3D phones from this point forward. Buying a 2D phone at this point is similar to buying an SD TV.
When I buy the Avengers bluray, it Erik be the 3D version. When I but a new TV, it will have 3D. And when I buy a new phone, it will have 3D. If Sprint doesn't want to sell me one, fine by me. I'll just give someone else my money when I buy it and activate it somewhere else.
And hopefully it will be made by a company that actually believes in open source. HTC treats their drivers and source as proprietary and refuses to release it in a timely manner. That's the only reason it was so hard to get the 3D features working on custom ROMs, because HTC refused to release source and drivers for it.
Limited translation
The 3D feature is nice but with limited translation to any other platform, it's stuck in novelty mode. Perhaps once there are more devices and means of viewing the 3D content it will be a big deal.
LTE on the other hand not so novelty, better penetration into structures is desperately needed WiMax is sad in this area. I'm still dragging my feet on a LTE device until it's in my area though, not buying on a promise Sprint doesn't keep those very well and are rather slow when they do.

You're probably right about iPhone and 3D and content but, iPhone would benefit far more from a 4G variant and larger screen, that would quiet us Android users down a notch and really excite iPhone fans...it might even convert a few folks. 3D would just be cute fad.
