[EVO 4G General] Biker1:
I checked out the Evo 3D today at the Sprint store. I was there for a half hour or so.

Some observations >

1) the 3D feels lighter than the 4G. I don't know if that's because the 3D uses space age materials or using more plastic. But it does feel lighter. I don't have the book spec on the weight of both.

2) I used Quadrant Standard on both Evos. I did 4 Tests. Only 1 of The 4 tests registered as 'completed' without 'Error' message on the 3D for some reason. The test that did complete on the 3D registered 1646.

The Evo 4G's best run was 1280.

3) I have a large hand so the Evo 4G is comfortable to me, but you are able to get your thumb further across the Evo 3Ds screen because it is narrower which may benefit others.

4) ** I have an Epson screen, the Evo 4G in the store appears to have a Novatec screen as it is slightly brighter than mine. I compared the Phone Keypad screen on all 3 phones, looking at the white background in addition to the Keypad.

The EVO 4G in the store was slightly brighter than the other 2 devices

The Evo 3D screen was slightly brighter than my screen in the top half for some reason, and dimmer in the keypad area, but that may be perception.

** Before comparing the Brightness, I went into settings and turned off Auto on the in-store Evo 3D and Evo 4G. I set all 3 devices, including mine to 100% Brightness.

When I compared The 2D camera on the Evo 3D compared to my camera, my camera screen was substantially brighter

5) the 3D pictures didn't do much for me, except as a novelty type feature. Really couldn't see myself looking at 3D pics on the screen for too long as my eyes are not used to that type of screen and is a little bothersome. Others mileage may vary.

6) the cpu was noticeably faster as it should be regarding 1Ghz processor vs. 1.2 Ghz dual core.

7) the camera button and switch are on the lower right hand side, and appear to be 'out of harms way' but may be an issue if dropped on that side.

Whereas the glass may not break, the button/switch may but I am not sure.

8) I checked the ROM on the 3D and there was .97gb available. I can only presume that the 3.0 Sense and the 3D camera are taking up much of the other 3gb, but am not sure how much. Would like to see more ROM on the Evo 3D and Evo 4G+ if it does not detract from speed and/or battery.

The Evo 4G has 1gb of internal memory and 450mb is for User's use. The Evo 3D and 4G+ (I presume) have 4gb of ROM, but only a 1/4 of that is available on the Evo 3D. Should be comparative regarding % to the Evo 4G imo.

I feel the Evo 4G has a more robust feeling in the hand. It feels more 'substantial.'

This may be an illusion because it is slight heavier than the Evo 3D. Because it is lighter doesn't mean it is cheaper made, but I would like to know how the weight was taken off. A plus side of this is that If you drop the 3D, things may not break as quickly as they may on the heavier 4G.

I like the fonts on my 4G, and the way text appears on my 4G compared to the 3D, But this is because of the truer 16:9 presentation/screen size on the 3D, so something I may have to get used to as more devices have the Evo 3Ds type of screensize.

The 3D is snappier because of The 1.2 dual ccore.

The Sense 3.0 didn't do much for me, maybe because I didn't play with it enough.

The 3D camera didn't do anything for me, and most likely would not get any use.

The lack of screen brightness on the 3D camera while set to 2D was not acceptable.

I forgot if the pictures taken were as bright on the Evo 3D as they are on my Evo 4G, even though the pre-picture camera screen on the Evo 3D was darker.

After seeing and playing with the Evo 3D in the store, I definitely would not trade in my Evo 4G for it, and now I'm not sure I'd trade in my 4G for the Evo 4G+ either.

But I'd have to play with the 4G+ also.

The screen size of both is something I'd gave to get used to as well as how the text and numbers appear.
