The Guy from wirefly said it had good battery life as well. IMO I think he was just to much of a fan of the sensation. Its kinda like if you see one out of two items of the same kind, you get comfortable with that specific item you saw first. That's how he was acting to me. Example, the sensation hits us first with an 8mgp cam. Then its younger sibling comes out with a five. One would probably think if its newer why older hardware. I don't believe that people really care about the 3d feature. That is the extra goody. The only thing we care about is what's under the hood. An huge upgrade from what your holding right now while reading this. That's the big picture. Oh yeah If your concerned about battery life custom kernels and Roms would fix that soon. Not to mention extended batteries, come on now! When the evo og dropped, 4-6 hours tops. After root custom kernel and roms + extended 3500 mah 8-14 medium usage. When the E3D comes wit 8 hours plus your going to have more then enough battery satisfaction once xda and developers get to it.

I just read Roger Chengs' review on All Things D and watched Bonnie Chas' (CNet), both of whom I feel are pretty unbiased. The one thing that stuck out was that both complained about poor call quality. After all, this is still a phone. Shouldn't call quality be the most important aspect of the phone? I'm still getting it but this does concern me.

From BGR:

"Using the phone on the EVO 3D hasn’t been the best experience. Phone calls sounded distorted most of the time with the earpiece speaker, callers sounded hollow and thin, and volume wasn’t too great either. Signal reception is a different story, as the EVO 3D performs great in this department. Sprint service typically isn’t incredible, but the way the EVO 3D latches onto signals make it that much better."

None of his complaints have anything to do with cell signal or reception. In fact, his one positive was the signal reception of the phone.

Lmfaooo so iPhone bias it is ridiculous
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
For me, it's not about sharing with other people, it's about not having to hold it in the perfect, "sweet-spot," just to use the device... especially if I have my Evo on my desk with the kickstand up... I look at it from many different angles. I don't know if this will keep me from getting the phone or not, but it's definitely NOT a plus.

With that said, HTC QC is so poor that it's likely that not all of the Evo 3D hardware has this issue. The HTC Vogue and Touch Pro/Diamond had wild differences between batches.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
This is Myriam doing this review, and she's no Apple fangirl. She is a huge Android fan, and a big camera enthusiast on phones... Just as I am. If the biggest feature of the phone is lackluster, how can we expect it to get a good rating?

As a regular listener to the very good Engadget Mobile Podcast, I get to know these reviewers. They absolutely love the SGS2 proclaiming it nearly perfect, loved the Sensation nearly as much, and had high hopes for the 3d. It's clear that it was a huge letdown.

Going into these first trusted reviews, I was expecting to get and at least try the Evo 3d. Not now. Still love my Evo and don't want to go in reverse. It appears that this takes all the Evo's bad features (battery life, screen in bright light, camera, etc.) and makes them worse. No thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
LOL based on a review? Wow how funny
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
enGadget reviews, basically if a phone does not have a fruit logo on it, it is sub par and not cool. They trashed it pretty bad, just barely giving it a 7/10 score, the video review on there sounded like it was a 5/10 score. Just you watch, when they get the iPhone5 in September, it will be an X Rated review, rubbing their **** in one hand, and iPhone in the other.

Saying all that, I am a current EVO 4G owner, and LOVE it, rooted with custom ROM, but to be honest, I am more interested in Sprint's Galaxy S2 due out the end of July / early August, I am a sucker for the Super AMOLED + screen, and love razor thin phones. My EVO 4G feels a bit too thick and bulky at times.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
And this was all thought about right after the review you watched on engadget::rolleyes- Now honestly how did you feel about the phone before hand.

Brought to you by the official AOSP "Rom Hopper". MIUI-CM7.1
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
One of my beefs with the EVO-3D, is the gimmicky "3D" feature :rolleyes: I can give two ****s about 3D on my phone, would rather have seen HTC spent more development time in making it a thinner phone, while improving other features. And including the Green Hornet in 3D, and Spider Man 3D, who ****ing cares about that bull****, is that truly a selling point ? To who ?

I think HTC and Sprint dropped the ball a little here, they should have just made the EVO-2, and made it super bad ass specs to destroy the Galaxy S2, and should have tossed that "3D" idea in the trash for now.

Proud owner of my EVO 4G, but crying a little on the inside after reading lots of these reviews today.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
Funny you say that because I was reading the Roger cheng review and he mentioned the lock screen and the Apple was planning on ding something similar for the next iPhone. Should be interesting to see how Engadget almost totally ignored the lock screen and how they review Apples.

On another note:

3 of the 4 reviews I've looked at so far (including Engadget) talk about the mushy buttons, can't be a coincidence.

Contrast that with the dedicated, aluminum, camera button and 2D/3D switch. I think the other buttons should be of equal quality.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
I wonder what would have great battery when you have all the radios on (including Bluetooth, 4G, wireless) and taking 80 - 90 pictures (some 3D, some 2D) and ALSO recording video. Oh yea, add some phone calls in there too....

GIVE ME A F*$%ing BREAK

And as far as Myriam is concerned... when I look at all i can think is no thanks, regardless of anything else.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
I hoped it would do better, especially with the camera and battery. Yes, I made a decision based on a review from someone I usually agree with. Feel free to make your own decision using your own criteria.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
It's a valid comparison... my friends on other carriers that have their 4G enabled that get faster speeds still get better battery life than me... and most people leave wifi, BT, GPS, and data on at all times, so that is totally fair.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Everyone is talking about engadget... but it only got 1 point higher as an 8 in all of the other reviews also.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
The review was ok. The battery life probably won't be as bad as they experienced. They dropped it 40% playing with the camera, which people probably won't do on a day-to-day basis. CDMA phones also use more power than GSM phones, so it can't really be compared to the Sensation. The GSM Nexus S is rated for almost 12% more talk time than the Nexus S 4G. WiMax probably also uses more battery than T-Mobiles '4g'.

I'd love to keep waiting for the next best phone (galaxy S2, etc.), but I'm tired of waiting :). Heck, if I wait another month or two for the galaxy S2, I may as well wait another two or three months for the next Nexus phone. Next week the Evo 3D will be the best android phone on Sprint and I'm more than ready to get rid of my Touch Pro2.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
your friends? all with 4.3 inch screens with that high of a resolution. and all with dual core processors. and always taking a million pictures. and oh yea, with 3D on. with their 3D phones. seriously, be smart about that ****. Stock, all these phones come with widgets to turn off the radios for a reason. You turn them off when you dont need them. Are you the tard who has his Bluetooth discovery on all the time? Awesome.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
no, just bluetooth on, I don't even see an option to make Android stay in discovery mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
Lol, I would be too. I've had the EVO since launch day, getting the 3D on launch day, why wait so long?

Thoose Reviews make me think even more if i really want the EVO 3D, but in the end there is no better review than your own Review, and in the end you still have like 30 days to give the phone back.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
If that's all your concerned about, get a camcorder with exceptional battery life. Honestly if that phone had a better camera including the specs it has now, you wouldn't even look in E3D's direction cuz it will cost so much. Just think of it as HTC being nice to its customer. Dual core, 1 gb ram, qHD, sprint premium gold customer, sprinkle a couple of 3D titty pictures on top of all that. No need to make a decision because its already made Daniel Son.

[HTC EVO 3D] Devi0124:
The grass is always greener. There are so many tutorials on how to get better battery life and instead of reading people complain. I wake up at 6.30am and unplug my phone. I use it throughout the day and plug it back in at around 10.30 to 11.00pm. I keep my wifi, bt, and gps on all day and turn on 4g while at work (10 hours a day give or take). If you are only worried about battery life then read a tutorial. I am more concerned with the phone being on lock... no root is a deal breaker for me. SGS2 or one of the new droids will be it for me... and since the droid will probably be on lock too looks like samsung is the only option.
[HTC EVO 3D] berardi:
this is why i stopped reading engadget... reviews are completely biased. if apple didn't make it, "it sucks"
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
the irony is that you guys are talking about blind Apple fanboys. I can wait a month for the Samsung.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
and in that month ill be enjoying watching 3d and youll enjoy watching.........oh yeah 2D. have fun with that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
When enGadget reviews the iPhone5, and if they do have a new lock screen similar to Sense 3.0, enGadget will be beating their boner purple about it, saying how original and never been done before. The iPhone5 will get an 11/10 score, 5 mega dildos.

Don't know why I still read that site anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
BTW isn't the Samsung release just a rumor at this point? There is no way they would release a second phone within 30 days and have a flood of returns.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
No, if I want to see something in 3d, I'll look at real life instead of a damned phone. And instead of 3d porn, I'll have real women, thank you. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
For a review that complained about the camera so much, I didn't think the 2d photos in the gallery were all that bad. I certainly expected worse from the review. Better than my evo 4g would take for sure. Did you guys think the pics were that bad? Maybe my expectations are too low.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Another reason I'm super geeked is because I'm excited about what the developers are going to do for the device. We already have the whole developer roster going str8 to the E3D. And I must say its going to be very funny to watch you non early adopters come crawling for one these phones once all root, hacks, scripts, 3D launchers and themes get rolling.

Just 5 weeks ago the Sprint Nexus-S 4G was released, one of the top Android phones available. Now it will be the EVO-3D, next it will be the Galaxy S2, and then after that the Photon 4G, and then end the year with the Nexus-4.0

The Samsung is a rumor and based on what happened last time ( Evo vs Epic), i'll stick with the 3D. The Evo was the best that sprint had to offer for the past 12 months despite numerous rumors of something better (Epic, Evo shift). Im not buying it. The Photon does not seem as appealing and the single core 4.3 " from HTC has just passes the FCC.

Ill not hold my breath on an SGII without a keyboard.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Ok now that i have view some of the videos, some photos, etc.

The Engadget guy complains too much about the camera pics, but if you go to the gallery that he posted you will notice that the pictures are great! So that makes you think that he is a photographer or something like That LOL!

Here is the Gallery link

Also he this reviews isnt a review, this enganget is like a EVO 3D vs. Sensation

So like i said before the is not better Review like your own review.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
ok, the Cnet review says 1080p and engadget says 720p is the limit. They can't both be right. Which is it?

Sadly, I think I believe engadget in this case.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
First, 5 weeks is 35 days, out of the range. Second, July 24th is a Saturday, they don't release on a Sat. Third the nexus 4g has an LTE radio, so most likely not Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
QUOTE from the BGR HTC EVO 3D Review

" It took a couple days for the HTC EVO 3D to grow on me — from the build and design, to the user interface, to the 3D aspect — but after spending a week with it, I can confidently say this is my favorite Sprint phone, hands down. The Motorola Photon 4G is interesting, and from what I saw I liked it a lot. The EVO 3D, however, offers a complete end-to-end Android experience with HTC’s Sense 3.0 UI, and coupled with improvements in every area over the original EVO 4G, plus the ability to capture and view 3D content, it makes for one hell of a compelling package."
[HTC EVO 3D] BigRick10:
It only goes up to 720p. I have confirmed. Don't have a second phone on hand to take a pic right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] Devi0124:
Epic is better than Evo...it just didn't have the hype. I have both so I'm not just trolling. The only advantage the evo has is earlier updates and sense. But both launchers are weak compared to what's available on the market. Sgs2 will be better. But in all fairness the release date is a rumor. But the fact that sprint is getting the sgs2 is a fact.

why does she keep going on about viewing angles? Who looks at their phone like that? As long as it has accurate color and brightness viewed normally, I could care less what it looks like from a 60 deg angle!

Okay, I can respect your personal preference. To me XDA = HTC. Evo 3d next week for me and more than likely a huge development community.

I didn't read through the entire thread. Al though, the new pictures we've received in the mail by Sprint, the front-facing camera has a diamond shape to it, whereas the pics from Engadget has a circle shaped camera. Now I now we're talking about the rear camera, but could it be that Engadget got their hands on a prototype or a earlier version of the 3D?

I doubt that we'll get 1080p but it could be so that our devices will differ from Engadgets. I hope we'll get the diamond shaped one instead of that boring circle one.

Good night folks.
[HTC EVO 3D] splmonster:
Out of all this pages and posts.. I keep reading Engadget is biased this and that. Are any of you aware that most of the original Engadget crew split for This is my next about a couple months ago? Most this Engadget crew is different from the ones before.

Many Sprint reps have confirmed this should be an un-altered GS2. Won't be like how the Epic was.

It was confirmed by Nvidia that the roadmap for Tegra 3 Quad would be out by fall, and that they are working with Google on ICS and the Nexus 3. Just sayin
[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
Well aware, in fact TIMN gave the E3D a much better review BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO REVIEW A PHONE. Minus the battery life, as they had no time (this is kind of unacceptable). They did however hint that they couldn't go through the day without charging it at least once.

[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
I wouldn't worry to much about the 1080P video capture. The software probably wasn't ready and instead of delaying the phone they enable it on a future update. If you guys can remember they did the same thing with fps cap on the Evo 4G. The camera hardware should be able to capture video in 1080P so it's most likely some software tweaking. I'm sure once this thing gets rooted the devs can use the camera apk from the sensation and get it working on the E3D. That's if we ever get the E3D rooted!

"We saw the charge level drop from full to 60% in about an hour and a half during which we snapped about 80 photos and captured four short videos (about half of this content was in 3D)."

Engadget loses credibility in my opinion when they blatantly nit pick about little flaws on one phone but fail to mention obvious flaws on others- obvious favoritism.
[HTC EVO 3D] ballr4lyf:
Just take the review with a grain of salt. The part about the battery is a little unrealistic if you're already used to turning the radios on/off only as needed, which I have done since the Hero came out (I might have even done it with my BB Curve, but that's too far back to remember). I didn't see anything particularly wrong with the still images captured (couldn't see the "noticeable halos" in the sample pictures they put up), but then again, my eyesight isn't that great to begin with. I am slightly disappointed in the fact that there aren't any metering options with the camera, but it's not a dealbreaker--phone cameras are more for a "spur of the moment" situations anyways. The pictures are better quality than what my wife's 10mp point-and-shoot camera can capture... Not better than my dslr, but that would be unreasonable.

What I found very intriguing was that the crapware was "easily removable". So even if the bootloader is initially locked, I can still get rid of some of the crapware. :D

All that said, what I found to be objectionable approaches taken during the review of this phone, I would gladly check against other reviews to see what matches up and what doesn't.

I have a hard time trusting these reviews, though. In fact, I have a hard time trusting any reviews done by anybody getting a paycheck for doing the review. That's why I'm glad I can't upgrade until 7/1 - I get to check out what the rest of you guys think about it first, and I trust your opinions more that these "reviewers". :D
