Don't get me wrong. I'm not bashing the phone in any way. It's definitely faster and a nice upgrade from my OG Evo. I guess its like somebody else posted, I let my expectations get the better of me. The speed is undeniable, granted I never tried CM or any of the other AOSP ROMS long enough to compare speed/quickness but Myn's, Virus' & Mik's ROMS were pretty fast to me. The 3D is ok if your into that stuff but its a gimmick at best. I own a 3D TV & maybe have watch 2 or 3 movies in 3D. Got it because of the clarity & beauty of the LED. 3D was a extra. Now if they had added a Retnia or comparable screen then we would have something to talk about but this screen isn't any noticeably better than the screen on the OG Evo. Battery life is better than the OG Evo had at its launch but once I got my 3500 Seidio & SBC kernel, battery life didn't matter. I got 2 days on a single charge. Can't really bring Sense into it because we have Sense 3 on the OG Evo also. I guess maybe once we get full root & S-Off and can start really unlocking what the phone can do, my opinion will change but right now its not any better, actually below the OG Evo in functionality & fun. Imo right now I don't see anything this phone does any better than its predecessor.
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Coming from the Hero, this is a HUGE upgrade. Compared to my wife's OG Evo....not so much, until you look 6 months down the road. I think then we'll see the OG Evo's shortcomings. As the apps get bigger and graphically better and we have custom roms running on the 3D I think it will really seperate itself from all of it's predecessors.

See you, quit sucking up our bandwidth.....go somewhere else.
[HTC EVO 3D] tbgreen89:
I played with one at a sprint store. It was okay. The screen itself and design was worth it but I don't care much for the 3d feature. But who knows maybe it will grow. I'm not eligible for an upgrade till October. So I will see what comes till than.
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
And the douches come out to play.....Been here a lot longer than you buddy. On my 6th Android phone & can't count how many Windows phones before them. When you get some experience under your belt than maybe your opinion will count but until then go troll somewhere else.
[HTC EVO 3D] intx:
I hope you realize what you're saying about the screen..

"Retina Display" = Apple's name for a 960x540 resolution. The reason it looks a little better is because it's more pixels crammed into a smaller screen.

I'd take a 4.3 over it anyday.

I came from the Epic, and really really like both phones. I really don't think you can go wrong with either.

i used my wifes evo which use to be my Evo and i cant believe how blurry the font looks compared to the 3D..Deff. happy I upgraded to the 3D..Crisp clear font,dual core processors,good amount of memory and a nifty little 3D display and camera.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
The differences will become apparent in the.coming months..and btw I think the screen looks great..def plays movies etc way better ..there is no software that utilizes the hardware yet..and its only a.week old..the.bugs.will be worked out. The og EVO is modded to its max..u.can on ly.get so much out of the.hardware..wait.till we can do the same to the e3d
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
I understand the terminology but the end result is still the best screen I have ever seen on something that small & believe me I'm no fan of IOS or Apple but you can't deny how beautiful the screen is. Now a 4.3" screen like that would be upgrade! This screen isn't that much better in my opinion than the OG Evo.

Oh wow! I'm shaking in my boots! Another Google Ganster! Ok. I'll let you bask in your 315 lb bench press & other douchebag accomplishments but I was asking the opinion of other people who aren't douches, on what they thought of the phone so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] G_Dmaxx:
I love my 3VO and can't wait to flash some custom roms see the crazy development that is gonna be coming or way! Go teamwin!
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
i use both og(running synergy) and 3d daily so i wont say anything about the newer sense(or rooting)

screen on 3d to me looks crisper,less dull

like the OG form a little better

somethings on 3d run faster(web pages and some apps)

3d on the 3vo is a fun toy at best right now

but i got it for what it will be able to do a little later on(when we can use dual core to the fullest) just my thoughts

[HTC EVO 3D] orlandojumpoff:
It depends what you do with it. It doesn't sound like you're a gamer, otherwise you'd probably notice a huge improvement in performance for graphically intensive games. The OG EVO lagged when it came to gaming. This is also where 3D can shine, have you tried Asphalt 6 (spiderman 3D is weak)? Hopefully more developers will jump on-board besides Gameloft. We won't know the true power of dual-core till a later Android update either.

The resolution bump allows you to view more at once in apps/web, and perhaps you'll notice the difference when all developers cater to it. Right now it seems some apps are scaled to fit, rather than optimized for qHD.

I think once you're able to do some of your favorites, like loading ROMs, you'll probably appreciate it more. Otherwise, maybe you should return it and wait for the Sprint Galaxy S ii.
[HTC EVO 3D] chrischoi:
So doesn't that make you a retard. You thought it would be something and it wasn't. Idiot.
[HTC EVO 3D] G_Dmaxx:
Everybody is talking about the wider OG EVO screen, but aren't they the same width? Getting ready to load MIKG ROM on my old ladies EVO, that is a nice ROM, can't wait until the developers get cracking on this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I think The og EVO is a bit "wider" due to the new resolution and form of the screens on the EVO 3d

Or it just seems wider because of the phone housing.. ill have to check my roommates og EVO when he gets home

[HTC EVO 3D] intx:
Because it's a smaller screen. Yes, it looks great. It's not the best I've ever seen (easily giving that to the SGS2), but it's beautiful indeed.

But would you trade your 3D's 4.3 for a 3.5 screen? Meh, personally I wouldn't.

The advantage of the screen over the OG isn't so much the quality(it's slcd vs lcd, which only helps a bit in sunlight and not all that much else), it's the real estate on screen. Open up your settings on a 3D and settings on an EVO and that's a big enough difference for me.

But hey, your opinion is your opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Definitely don't agree. This phone is better than the OG in every aspect and I look forward to full root. The resolution to have a "retina" display with this screen size would be insane, greater than 1080x720 and since those aren't being manufactured in this size, I'm plenty happy with 3D qHD. I respect your opinion bit just don't agree. Also, I think people who are expecting the SGS2 to be markedly better than this will be sorely disappointed. I knew what my expectations were and this phone met and exceeded that. Nothing will ever live up to unrealistic expectations...

[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
3d evo is a bit thinner and a bit taller in the screen(mm's thinner but noticable when looking side by side)
[HTC EVO 3D] carlos64030:
I still have my rooted EVO 4G and plan on keeping it active. I only purchased the EVO 3D to replace my secondary phone which was a POS Samsung Moment. The EVO 3D is nice, but I think some of the people that put this phone together are a bunch of ****in' rrrrrrrrratards. Seriously... why on earth did they make this phone with such a low internal speaker volume is beyond me. There's no visible speaker on the back side of the phone when you remove the back cover, nor is there a speaker port or perforated holes on the back cover to allow sound to come through. That alone was a major step backwards from the EVO 4G which had excellent sound volume. Overall, I like the EVO 3D a lot, but the low sound volume really irritates the piss outta me.
[HTC EVO 3D] remmus2k:
Came from the epic, I do miss the keyboard because I used it as a gamepad with a gamegripper. But it is still a much better phone overall.
[HTC EVO 3D] Galecio Family:
Wellllll, I am coming from a Samsung Behold II so no matter what this phone will rock my boxers off lol! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
if you look really(i mean really close) on the bottom to the right of the

3D hd imaging tag there is 3 rows of tiny holes for the rear speaker output, but the speaker output could be way better
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidaholic:
I know it is a good phone but the 3d is severely lacking when it comes to quality of the 3d presentation. Sorry but they need to work on the 3d part of the phone. I would much rather see something with the form factor of the Evo 4g with the beefed up processor and a better display. I do not like that the new Evo is not as wide as the original.
[HTC EVO 3D] xhadudkenx:
I do not agree with the OP this phone is way better than the original.

1. Build quality, the og evo back is just plain flimsy and looks ghetto.

2. The og evo had a slow ass processor its embarrassing trying to quick text or make calls.

3. The og evo had an uncomfortable wideness to it and a weird feeling round ness on the back of it.

4. The kick stand became a bad habit cause I kept using my pinky to flop it open and closed.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
The EVO 3d has a "beefed" up processor and it does have a better display...

I guess all them muscles are meant to make up for your incompetence and small.... Well we won't go there

And again its GLASSES OFF technology.. if you knew anything more than how much protein is in your boy friends cum you'd know its new and not as "3d" as it is with glasses

I've been really impressed with the evo3d, all around it's a great device. My only knock on it is I wish call quality was a tad better. But that's not an issue with the phone persee but with Sprint's network.
[HTC EVO 3D] waterbound:
That picture is effin funny!

Look guys or whatever.. my friend has a friend that has two friends that have attack dogs and girlfriends that have mothers that have killer hamsters that will all your arses.. whatever! Who gives a royal sheet!

What? like 10 posts (now add this one) all about who is bigger or more scary etc.. usually most people who posts that internet gansta crap are actually living at home with mommy, haven't started their careers, have no life and most likely sit in front of their super fast computer, that of course is faster and brighter and has more hard drive space then anyone else on the planet, with the lights off whacking off to porn. Life = Get one..

If someone wants to waste our internet bandwidth by telling you they are bad-ass and bla bla bla..let them.. who cares..is it about the EVO 3d?..

Next time you guys feel like having a pissing match and trying to make everyone think you are something you aren't, ask yourself..what forum am I in? Does this post contribute to what the discussion is? If the answers are no..then don't post and ignore or do what most of us try to do and ..LEARN something.

Here are my thoughts about the EVO3D, I see alot of people more on the glad I got it side and the ones who aren't usually add they like their rooted EVO with custom ROMS better and miss that. I get that and the 3D will be rooted and have custom ROMs as well soon. But the original started out like that too..

No root, no custom ROMS and still it was a bad-ass cell..still it..I love mine but if it was stock, no OC, not rooted etc.. it would be a no brainer..the 3D would whip it's arse. To me personally I like the 3D and get the 'something better and faster is most likely right around the corner' thoughts.. I agree and 1/2 holding off for that reason alone.

Also, I tried to talk Sprint into letting me upgrade early but no go until Nov-Dec..I think I just wanted it so bad after I saw root or temp root was obtained but maybe I am in the same boat that the 3D is nice but there is no doubt something faster and brighter right around the corner.

I compared to the Verizon's HTC Thunderbolt and the screen on that thing is super nice so I do see that difference in screens and after have the EVO for almost a year, I do realize the screen brightness and clarity is a must have going forward. I agree with the OP, even without having one.

I am on the the 3D forums purely for the learning aspect, making that decision of do I want one or not based off the posts that are SUPPOSED to be about the 3D :) Later and happy 4th!
[HTC EVO 3D] mtda80:
I'm pretty impressed with the screen and my last two phones were a Fascinate and IPhone 4, also my wife has the Evo 4g and side by side this screen looks way better IMHO... Gaming has been the biggest difference I've noticed, so smooth, overall I really like my purchase.
[HTC EVO 3D] madsquabbles:
I actually got the phone expecting not to like and not really use the 3d, so after using it I'm very impressed with the screen quality and the 3d pics I took of my daughter at the water park have me impressed. there really isn't much that takes advantage of the 2 cores so it really doesn't feel better than the og evo IMHO.

the only problem I have now is that I bought a droid charge (yes, I know older specs) and I'm very impressed with verizons 4g. I maxed at 29Mb/s! I was actually reseaching phons for my wife and fell in love with the data speed. I may keep both as I was actually looking to get a mobile hotspot and the dc can accomplish the job at a decent price (monthly). I'd have never strayed if sprints data start turning to **** the last few weeks.
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
Mad props to another 3VO/Charge owner!

I got the Charge to basically use as an LTE modem and I am keeping my 3VO because it just rocks. Verizon's network is soooo much better in my area than Sprint.

Finally, made up my mind when I caught myself wardriving around town looking for that holy grail Sprint Wimax. Waving my 3VO out the car window. I finally said to myself.. wtf... self... this is crazy. Costco had the Charge on sale and now I am on a legit network, not some macgyvered up one.

I will dump Sprint as soon as my credit for my old returned EVO appears on my account. Have been a customer of theirs since 1999. I see too many bad business decisions (i.e. Nextel, Clearwire and now Lightsquared) for me to continue with them.

WHY WHY?!....can't idiots like this be banned?...at least from specific threads like this where they're not mature enough to handle viewpoints they don't agree with?
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
OP...I unfortunately have to agree for the most part.

In terms of the hype, its proven to be a let down.

Other than the processing power (which I REALLY enjoy!)...and the action of the lockscreen, the entire rest of the operation is at BEST a lateral move, not an upgrade...(I don't use Sense...Launcher Pro).

In some areas that so many are reporting, its a downgrade (speaker volume, signal/connection strength), camera quality, and others).

Some of this like the 4G will be corrected with upgrades and root...so final judgement really has to wait for a month or 2.

But right now, considering the full functionality of the device?...:

I'd say I'm NEUTRAL at best...but hopeful. In no way pleased or overjoyed.
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
not sure what you expected this phone to do; cook dinner, rent movies, wash your car?

We ALL knew the features of the phone BEFORE we bought them; I mean, its been on the web for weeks/months before release date..

I love it so far, fast as hell, great battery life, and, the 3D stuff is alot of fun, at least for now..

Of course, everyone had their own expectations, and, for some, the phone doesn't meet those..my advice would be return it, and try something else..

I went back to using my EVO for 2 days after using the e3d for a couple of days and i felt like it was a big step backwards. That's just Mr though, I guess I wonder what you were expecting from this phone. I understand you wanted a higher resolution screen but, you knew what you were getting when you bought the phone. If the display resolution is really killing you perhaps you should take the iPhone for a spin or wait for the nexus prime.

Another ass....What difference does it make whether I call it by IPS or Retnia? It's the same thing! And if I wanted a iPhone I would have bought one and not be on my 6th Android phone. But the fact that I don't like iPhones doesn't mean I can't be objective and appreciate some of the things that it has or does better than Android phones. And the simple fact is the screen on the iPhone is the better than any Android phone to date with maybe the exception of the GSII.

SGS2

"super AMOLED plus" has A LOT of problems....

Yellow/pink/grey colors are all washed out or extremely over saturated

Don't forget the the LED technology uses no power to display black and LOW power to display dark spectrums

But uses almost 5x the power a regular "lcd" does to display white or soft colors

Almost all LED screens have burn in after 6 months of general use (mostly tvs but I had a vibrant that had burn ins and so did its replacement)

And the fact that your comparing screens to justify how good a phone is making your "argument" that much more frivolous

[HTC EVO 3D] binarybulge:
It makes a difference. "Retina" is Apple trying to make some sort of buzzword out of technology that's been around for years.

Call me what you want by the way; I'll bet you with your name calling to everyone around here, you're going to accomplish the exact opposite of what you want to accomplish. Actually I'm not even sure what you're trying to accomplish other than get a little attention.
[HTC EVO 3D] binarybulge:
Good points. I don't see the win for Super AMOLED. It has this weird hex effect even with 800x480. With normal RGB pixels, you might see the squares if you stare closely enough, but to my eyes, the hex effect just looks strange. It makes images look dithered where they might not be. Add to that the blue haze and over saturation and it's just ugly. I think people are drawn to it because it stands out in store demos.

Also, what's with all this craziness about viewing angles? I'll take the TFT panel that comes with the 3D. It's not like I'm trying to view my phone from extreme angles like EVER. It's bright (even on auto) and has good color reproduction.

People get caught up in pointless arguments over display technology. Some of these things might make a real difference with desktop computing, but not with a phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
What part of what we said don't you people understand. Nobody said they were expecting a visual change. We knew what the phone was gonna look like before release. For me I guess I thought qHD was gonna be a big improvement from the OG Evo's screen and it isn't. I also thought they would improve the camera because it could've used a lot in that area but they didn't. Pictures aren't that much better. Like I said I can't deny the speed improvement cause this thing flies like a bat outta hell but that's about the only major improvement I've noticed. The battery life is better than the OG Evo had at release but that got better with time & tweaks. Sense 3 is ok but it offers nothing over the Sense on the OG Evo except maybe a new lockscreen but we also had that on the OG Evo. And I don't care what people from other carriers had or didn't have. I've had every top of the line Sprint Android phone starting with the Hero, Moment, Evo, Epic & now Evo 3D. So if you had crappy phones than it sucked to be you. Not to say that the Evo 3D is a crappy phone in the least. It's one of the best phones on the market. But back to my original statement, it just hasn't impressed me all that much. Imo it doesn't offer that much more from the OG Evo. Now for you guys coming from crappy carriers & crappy phones than you will be happily pleased with the phone & what it has to offer over your old phones but for me, right now, I'm not that impressed.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Yeah most just don't understand that some of these "awesome Omg godly screens" all have different problems and that on a 4.3inch display will not yield the same effects as they should if they are on a bigger display or larger screen...
