Sell that beast on Ebay, if you have TEP no need for a backup.
Wow I am excited!!!
In January my wife and I "upgraded" our launch day Evos to the Epic Touch. What a mistake that was. We preordered a pair of new Evos on Monday and I'm beyond excited to rejoin the Evo fold. We won't stray again.

Right on my Birthday, awesome.
However, I'm not getting this phone until the development community verifies you can flash kernels without a dongle/cable like AT&T's One X. And/or we get unlocked bootloader via community or HTCdev so custom ROMs can be made.

What's this about a dongle being needed though?

Where is this department, and how do I speak with them? Do you have any idea how anxious I am to get this? I've about had it with my Hero. Friday morning can't come soon enough right now. I'll be at the local Sprint store as soon as they open to get my new phone. But if I can get it sooner, please tell me how!

"This one" meaning the one you have, OR all the Evo 3D will be this way? I for one am still a tad bit worried about the HTC bootloader thing!
I think SPRINT is going to be getting many of these back if it is not rooted by 2 weeks.
I for 1 will ship it back if in 2 weeks it can't be rooted.

Hello all thanks for stopping by. I have recently moved and settled to a new area and I bought my wife's and my phone straight out so we can switch at any time (or kill the contract if we moved outta the country). My android phones thus far have been the htc hero, lg optimus s, and the evo 3D. I got the evo 3d last june because I thought that it'd be like the original (tons of support, the next big thing, a crap ton of of mods). Little did I know that they would keep a lot of the drivers closed sourced and we as a community would have a few fantastic deves but would also run devs away (not just talking about the kernel devs over the past year quite a few have dropped by then been bashed and left). So my big question to everyone and indeed what I am pondering is.... Jump to a SIII as HTC and Sprint abandoned us or give HTC another shot? Both phones will have the same processor but im worried about samsung's build quality ...however I dont want htc to get my money blindly .... or i can just wait...? I dunno ...lol what is everyone else's thoughts?

Ya know what? Screw HTC!!! I only got the 3d cuz I knew, or at least thought, it would be getting ics. Turns out, now I'm in the us on Sprint mind u, that I really don't think that's going to happen anymore and I'm not going to sit around and wait. Yeah I could've downgraded hboot and rooted but I just thought intentionally bricking my device was absolutely foolish and didn't trust it. So I got the gsII and within min was running a fully rooted Sprint ics leak so easily my 3 yr.old could've done it! And with the size of this screen, the super amoled display, and speed, and boy do I mean speed of.this device, I will never, ever, buy another HTC device again! Just my two cents lol!

Sprint is the issue. They are the final step before ICS is released. Follow the order: Google releases Android to the manufacturer > HTC tweaks it an adds Sense > HTC sends to carrier. HTC is not necessarily the blame here. There is a few threads dedicated to the speculation of the ICS release. IMO, it's still coming, but, just from the timing of things, they most likely delayed it so as not to conflict with the release of their new flagship, EVO 4G LTE (pushing more people to upgrade to that).
With the amount of reading and diving in to other forums because people ask me about their phones or I have actually rooted their phones, I prefer HTC phones regardless of the Evo 3D's lack of official ICS ROM (even though there is a VM leak and three ports available for it, one of those ports is a fully functional HTC Sense 3.5, which is what I am running) and the HBOOT 1.5 [email protected] (even though it's also mentioned that having HBOOT 1.5, rooted, S-ON and recovery 4EXT is the way to go).
I prefer the Sense interface. It's my preference. I love the ease of rooting (in most circumstances). I've had my experience of rooting a Samsung Captivate. It was eh. It was easy to root, but, when it came to custom stuff, just eh.

GPS works fine. My wife prefers Samsungs and has the GSII. We've used her GPS several times around Savannah, GA and locally where we live and around Atlanta with no issue. Actually performed better than my Evo 3D at times.
It's more about what you like. I've had the hero, og evo, and now 3d. I still have a epic 4g I got for Christmas and my experience wasn't all that great with it until cm came along. I despise touchwiz although its getting better. Sense does make HTC phones run a little slower cause its a resource hog, but I just love sense. I suggest looking at both and deciding on what you are more comfortable with. Both the s3 and evo lte are great

HTC or Samsung GIII
I'd have to, IMO, that the HTC is worth staying with HTC. I too thought about switching over to the SGIII but in the end, I'm going to stick it out with HTC, as the EVO 3D was my first HTC device and I will say I'm a little disappointed with their support of the device. I'll give them another chance with the EVO 4G LTE and see what happens. After all, I plan on being a smart phone user for way more than the standard 2 yr contract and will switch devices in the future if need be.
HTC has great devices and I can't stand hearing "3d will not get ics"
It's been confirmed. There are processes that have to be done before it will be out. I have seen new phones coming out with ics yes, but how many older devices have gotten officially updated yet. My buddy with T-Mobile who still hasn't seen his update. People just don't have any patience. If your on xda u have the ability to run ics. Either do it or wait.

There was a Sprint representative that told Engadget that EVO 3d was getting ICS. Here is the quote.
Sprint VP of Product David Owens told Engdaget during an interview at the CTIA 2012 trade fair that Ice Cream Sandwich update will hit both devices “in the June time frame.”
This was in reference to Evo 3d and Evo 4G design.

Leak Version from May...and now its june 18....HTC/SPRINT/others...put it in ota!!
The reason it was canceled is because the Ice Cream Sandwich melted while being transferred from HTC to Sprint. To salvage what it could, Sprint stuck it in a glass and mixed it up so now we are all getting an altered version called "Milkshake". You know, according to my source.
When they depelete enough stock of 3d they'll release it.. I'm sure well see a price drop soon on the 3d.
Who cares at this point.at least we have a leak. Hope has pretty much dwindled to nothing.
Even if we got it I, personally won't be in a rush to flash it like I was with the leak

They don't sell them anymore. U can't even get a refurb which is why I'm on this phone now. It was my replacement which I have to admit is much better. There is practically a new ics leak from Sprint/Samsung on a daily basis lol and I was rooted within 5 min. This thing also.looks amazing and is much much faster.

Well I just checked the Sprint website and they took it down. I don't know about you, but I'm quite angry. This phone as "going to be pretty good" and much better than my intercept. Yet it's only been a year and they discontinue it after Ice Cream Sandwich? Really Sprint? First you take long with the update and now this? I'm gonna call tomorrow and enquire about this.
Any thoughts?
Be happy you got an ics release before they discontinued it.

Thanks though guys.
Sad but true. Wish there would be more 3D phones
Comments withdrawn
they discontinued it (and will do so for all their other wimax phones) because they still plan to kill out 4G WiMAX from their network, im not at all shocked this happened because i already knew it was coming, the E3D wasn't made for LTE and can't be through any software changes, now if there was a high demand for a 3D phone i wouldn't be surprised if a more amped up LTE variant came out. as i said they don't have long term plans for WiMAX anymore, and want to keep people new people and people with upgrades from buying a phone that has technology that will not be supported soon. but be happy we made it almost a year and by the time our phones "lifespan" is up (2 years good enough) we would have been given the chance to use whatever 4G we can x)
may be bugs on some of you mugs, but there aint no bugs on me
long live the evo 3d i love this phone what could possibly top this phone really we come along way working with this phone one of the toughest to crack ithink to get s-off am i right

i dont think anyone in the phone development made such a phone to where we had to put a bounty on it just to crack it we should be proud of our success and breakthrough i think everyone kept it around bc they thought it was unbreakable when we cracked it now they wanna get rid of it
