I went to the HTC event in Vancouver this week and I noticed an employee was holding an HTC phone with a dual camera on the back. I asked her what it was, and I got a VERY BRIEF view of a global GSM version of the EVO 3D and saw the glasses-free 3D effect. There was no Sprint or other carrier logo on it, and there was a numeric tag on the phone, and she confirmed it's the global version. She told me she wasn't allowed to show me anything else.
But there we go. Exciting isn't it?
Man I wish Sprint got the global version :\ I'd love to pop one of my own SIM cards in there while I'm traveling.

did you get to hold it or anything?!
I highly doubt Sprint would allow a GSM version to be released in the US, atleast not right away. Probably will be on bands not compatible in the states.
Vodafone. They are getting the global version.

Which is what...Verizon? Still won't be in the states. This ain't gonna be like an iPhone on every carrier lol
The gsm version is easy to spot. Go to HTC and look at the Evo 3D and notice on the phones back cover. The ring around the camera is gold, not the American red color.
From my soon to be Evo 3D

Yeah she gave me no indication as to whether a Canadian release was likely, but typically we see versions of European HTC phones arriving here a few months later on Telus or Bell. It usually alternates.
Bell just got the Incredible S and soon Wildfire S. Telus is rumored to get the Flyer. My guess is, Telus gets the Evo 3D if Canada gets it at all. Maybe rebranded as the Desire 3D, since they got the original Desire and the HD. Bell got the Desire Z and the HD7 though.
Or if Bell gets the E3D, then Telus will get an 850/1900 version of the Sensation as a consolation prize.
And I think it's pretty safe to say Rogers won't get any of the above. Their former relationship with HTC appears to be severely broken.

Here's the list of where this GSM version is going......

A little off topic, but how was the 3D effect? I'm really keen to see how it is in person but I'd like to know what other people think of it.
Here's to hoping the Evo 3D makes its way to Australia

The only glimpse I got was from the phone being held in camera mode, and the display was showing a 3D rendition of what it was filming. I definitely saw the 3D effect but I wasn't in the optimal viewing position. It still wowed me.

Also, the site has an all black evo 3d: (looks line an unfinished render. there are no speaker holes on backdoor, and the camera cover says more than "3D HD Imaging." Also, derek826 noticed that the date on the pic says 'June 28th')

I'm pretty sure that "all black model" is the Euro version
The black is supposedly the gsm one
R.I.P hd2 hello Evo 3d
Has anyone had any success in getting the Rogers EVO 3D to display incoming caller names that are NOT in the contacts list. Those of you on Rogers know what I am talking about.
I was told by Rogers and Best Buy prior to purchasing it that it would work and a phone call to tech support after buying it that it should work. I called tech support again today and the guy first said yes, then after doing some research he said "he googled it and it looks like Androids don't support this" so he really knew nothing about the phone and had no info about it.
I need to return this phone ASAP but I want others to confirm that it also does not work for them as well just so I know it isn't something with my line.
Works for me, have had the phone for 3 hours now and have gotten calls from outside the people on my contact list.
And you see their name and number displayed?

I have never had this work on a cellphone on any carrier, I mean you see the number, but not the name: At&t, Rogers, t-Mobile UK, etc.
Rogers seems to be the only carrier that supports the feature, it costs $2 extra per month. if I place my sim card in my Nokia N97 it works and apparently it works on almost all Samsung phones.

I have seen a few people in the forum with Roger listed as their carrier and saying they have the 3D but I still have not heard anyone positively say that incoming name display works or not.
The feature is really important to me and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

grrr, now I am really upset because someone PM'ed me 1.5 hours ago saying they DO see names form unknown callers but I returned my EVO 3D 3 hours ago!!! I can still go to the store and get it back and return the SGS II I bought but have not even used at all yet but I really need full confirmation
Please help, I am in a desperate situation where time is very limited for me and I must act quickly.
Anyone and everyone in Canada with an EVO 3D on Rogers please verify for me that this feature should work, Rogers has no clear answers on this and I really love the phone .
Hello, Ive been searching and reading all day and can't find a way to flash the HTC Evo 3d to Boost Mobile. I just bought one a few hours ago and it will be here in a couple days. I would rather not buy a tutorial or pay someone to flash it for me. When I had sprint I rooted and flashed my HTC Hero without any problems but that was easier to find info for. Could any please point me in the right direction. Also can it be done without cloning the ESN... would like to keep it as legal as possible lol.
I am fed up with the Nexus One and this chronic power button problem I've sent it in for four times, and no GPS. No more HTC for me.
Looking for a newer phone for T-Mobile that gets 3G or 4G. No hardware keypad, and working GPS. That's all I ask.
I thought the Moto Atrix might be it, but it can't do better than EDGE. The Photon (Sprint) seems to be only WiMAX.
It seems that T-Mo has only LG and Samsung phones, and I am not enamored with either brand.
Recommendations?

I swore to myself I would never buy another samsung phone, but I ended up with a white galaxy s2 since it was the best phone at the time and it has been great so far (if you don't mind not having ICS). Perfect actually.
I have turned the Motorola site upside-down looking for a fairly current phone that would work 3G or better in T-Mo, but no luck.
Don't trust Samsung or LG, although I'm sure they make fine products. I've been very happy with Motorola phones since cellular services started. Wish for the Droid Razr, but Hate Verizon and ATT for cooperating with warrantless wiretapping.
Wow, nothing else?
Trying to determine if the Droid 4, Droid Razr, or Defy would work.
The Defy is a decent phone and really the only Moto on T-Mobile I could recommend, assuming you can find one. They are outdated as far as stock, but the Devs have kept the software up to date and are even working on ICS/CM9. I don't think the Droid models would work on a T-Mo network at all.
Get a HTC amaze and use the screen off and lock app.. then use go locker or something that allows using power AND volume buttons etc for waking.. thanks to the separate video and camera buttons you'll be up to 5 buttons configurable as power.. besides I think they (htc) are the best made phones

I have an HTC sensation, which HTC has made 2 updated versions, the XL and something else but i have the standard one, but its 4g, 4.3" screen, hd 1080p video recording, 8mp camera, and when running the elegancia Rom which is great quality you get ics plus lots of features, call recording, WiFi calling, volume button awake. It's really a great phone, id get the newer version XL, its got a 1.5ghz processor plus more ram, I think a gig over my standard sensation with a 1.2ghz and 756mb ram. Both are great, I'm sure you can get a regular sensation for 300 bucks somewhere on the web.
Also HTC released the HTC One, don't know if they are for t-mobile, but they are the cream of the crop for the HTC line. Gonna be pricey but well worth it.

If you really want to look for some more selection, try researching phones made for the Japanese market.
Many NTT Docomo phones have the needed 1700/2100 frequencies needed for T-Mobile 3G in the United States. I have heard of people running some of their Sharp and Toshiba phones here without issue.
Thanks all.
I have lost all confidence in HTC. GPS has never worked, mic quality is not good, and this chronic power button problem that I have sent it in four times for. Now they charge me. No more. They ditch me -- I ditch them.
I like the MIUI.us rom best, and have the vol keys set to wake. (built-in to the rom) Use Toggles to lock it. This is tolerable for now. Has recording and all the other niceties. I think it's the most advanced rom out there.
I've used Motorola phones since cellular service began, and they only ever failed if I broke them. I trust the Motorola phones and wish they worked with T-Mobile more. I will stay with T-Mobile as they did not cooperate with the government's unConstitutional warrantless wiretapping.
I'll check out the Defy. Maybe I can wait a while to see whether Moto comes out with something better. I wonder whether the Photon would work on T-Mo?
You are judging HTC off of a phone that is years old. There are many options for good phones on T-mobile. The Galaxy S2, the Galaxy Nexus if you want to pay for that, the Nexus S. I just came from the HTC Glacier which was amazing all the way around. Great GPS, no hardware issues whatsoever and a huge dev community. The Sensation is a great phone, better than the amaze from the research I have done. Almost all newer phones available aren't going to have GPS issues, so go to a store and pick which one feels better in your hands.
I am judging HTC for a phone that I paid $550 for which never could do GPS or compass, and which has a chronic and recurring power button failure that is a known design problem which HTC refuses to repair without ransom.
If a company intentionally refuses to correct their own glaring mistakes, it is dishonorable and they are no longer worthy of trust. Maybe I am just old-fashioned, and you youngsters see GETTING SCREWED BY CORPORATIONS as a natural state of life...
I do not. HTC ditches me, so I ditch HTC, and tell my friends.
A couple years ago I bought a Jaguar XK-8, a $76,000 car. Two years later it turned out that the timing chain tensioners (made of plastic) were failing on all those engines. Well that is a $15,000 repair. Jag refused to stand behind their car, and so many of us who can afford their cars, have turned our backs on them. As Dubya says, Fool Me Once... {splutter, gork} ... eh Ya Can't Fool Me Again.
