VM Evo 3D not even rebranded - HTC EVO 3D

I was at Target today and looked at the VM Evo V or whatever they're calling it... Opened the front flap, and it's still branded Sprint on the top right of the screen. I didn't think to take a picture, but thought it was interesting...
That's one way to get rid of a phone you thought would do better than it did.

Yep almost all of the evo v phones out right now are sprint branded

That's really odd, my Sprint evo 3d actually had the digitizer replaced with an unbranded one from a gsm evo and looks awesome

Weird TMobile pricing

I was looking at tmo website today and noticed that Amaze is cheaper than mytouch 4g slide. Look at the image attached. Wth? I have both the phones and as you know amaze is way better that mytouch 4g slide. Do you think this is just a mistake on tmo part or are they really trying to get rid of amaze?
Probably just trying to clear out their stock of the amaze before the one series drops

Thats what I thought but aren't they trying to clear out mt4gs as well? MT4GS might not even get ICS. Very weird IMO.
Anything the Sensation gets the MT4GS can get too by porting.
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.

Yep turns out the sales for the Amaze were pretty horrid compared to what they were expecting. Another reason why T-Mobile and HTC carry so few accessories. Not to mention all the returns from bleeding and other issues. They probably lost a crapton of money on this model =(
UPDATE: Amaze is now free with a new 2 yr contract. Mytouch 4g is at $100 and mytouch 4g slide at $200.

[Q] one x, s3, EVO 4g LTE.....no longer wanted

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

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

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

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.

one x = no sd, and no upgradable battery
S3 = to plasticy, tacky feeling, no 3d

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.

nice. I plan on using buyback via best buy and getting 280 for my eve 3d and getting the let and 80 back plus a 50 gift card. now i buy an SSD
Why are you upset about it? VM is getting an old phone, rebranded. It runs ICS, but that just tells me that our official release is not far off.

Not mad. Just upset. Im surprised they didn't do any type of trade in your ed get xxx.xx money for it towards the new one
plus, they retired it within a year. that sucks

3D movies on my SD card show as 3D on my EVO 4G LTE gallery?

Weird, right? I'll bet they're going to come out with another EVO 3D...
June 2013 EVO 3D LTE?
Dear God no.

Same my 3d pics have the same icon on the pic as on my 3d haha
Probably because it will support 3D TVs.
they are not. HTC already said 3d was hype and they are not releasing anymore 3d devices. in fact this was supposed to originally be a 3d device, but it was thrown out the window and it became a virgin mobile prepay phone

If they do it should be the mid tier phone like shift and design, not the big dog evo of the year.

you my friend are twisting some facts together....
1) I'd be surprised if HTC really ever said "...3d was hype and they were not releasing anymore 3d devices..." .......might of said no more this year but deff didn't shut the door on the feature in anyway, nor call it "hype."
2) the last one is the worst....the design shown was not "...thrown out the window and it became a virgin mobile prepay phone.".......you do know the VM phone is an EVO3D with VM branding on it....nothing more.....its nothing like the EVO LTE is.

I believe the reasoning for that is because it streams 3d to 3d TVs,not sure if the hdmi works with 3d havnt tried it yet. It's like a computer where if the format is 3d it will recognize and let you view 3d formats in 2d or stream/wired to a 3d tv

Sending phone in for fix up. Need help.

Hey,
Well my phones digitizer is failing and is very sensitive. If I press hard enough it'll make some dead pixels. The screen is also out of place on the phone. The top right corner of the screen is inside of the frame. If I send my phone in will it give me my EVO back or a newer phone like everyone was talking about in that on thread?
Would they care if its S-off? And rooted?

Sprint its a $100 deductible.

The issue of the phone being rooted and S-off seems to vary. I've seen some people mention that Sprint didn't care, while others mentioned having issues getting Sprint to fix or replace devices based on the fact that it's rooted. As far as whether or not you'll get your phone back or get another EVO LTE, I'm not sure how that works. When my wife had her S2 the power button went bad and I took it to Sprint, who replaced it with another S2.

Probably replaced with an EVO LTE as they still have em in stock and you can even still purchase one for free with a contract. I suggest taking it in to Sprint first before doing the Asurion deductible. Sometimes they replace free of charge. Ps deductible is actually $150, I had to get one myself a while back..
