What bigd said. I just took a video of my saltwater aquarium and it is mid boggling how beautiful the 3D effect is. On top of that this thing blows away my Nexus One hands down. May not be the best benchmark scorer, but it does what I want it to do and it does it very well!

[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Great phone, blows away my EVO4G. Honestly, if you ditched the EVO for the EPIC, this probably isn't the phone for you!
[HTC EVO 3D] hayabusa1300cc:
Thanks!

Mature people here. I got used to the samsung side of xda lol.

See a lot of nonbiased replies. And I agree with a lot that was said here.

I do have my eyes out for the S2, but I will definitely take advantage of the 30day grace period and take the 3d for a spin.

I'm intrigued at the thought of taking 3d porn lol honestly anyone try it?? Hehe
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
Definitely worth it for me. I had my Evo 4G for less than a year, sold it for $240, and got the full upgrade price of $199 so it cost me nothing extra except one extra year on contract to get a better new phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lejjvi:
I love the Evo 3D. And anyone who b*tches about it all the time cuz their screen is a lil bit yellow instead of white, or they got shipped with kingston instead of scan or w/e can just take it back n get the samsung instead and let the rest of us actually enjoy this beast. It's one of the best phones out there and the only 3D phone that is worth buying and that 3D feature got me laid, so STOP b*tchin. Not aimed at the thread starter.

Yeah I'm running a 3VO at 1.8 ghz and this the fastest mobile experience I can even imagine. It's a beast and it is awesome. I came from EVO 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] irishgreen:
Ive owned just about every top end phone on every carrier and ill say that the 3d is probably the smoothest, fastest and funniest phone ive ever held and its not even fully rooted yet..get with it!! but if u gave up a OG evo for a Epic i dont know if u can appreciate the 3d..no offense! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Lejjvi:
How's that on your battery life?
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Mine has been pretty good. had it oc'd all day. Charged for 1 hour off the computer, still at 80%. I'll do some real testing tomorrow. See how long it lasts while taking pictures.
[HTC EVO 3D] hayabusa1300cc:
Well reason I have up the evo was

-I'm a heavy textr. Text messages slowed the phone a lot. I did have little over 16 thousand texts on the phone before I erased. Not exaggerating. But seemed a few hundred made the phone lock up on receiving. Stock and modded rom.

-4g and tether tug-o-war it was hell getting both operational at one time.

-phone unresponsive when tethering. I would literally have to reboot phone to use it other than a modem.

So these were not things that could be overlooked. and being a power user I push a phone near it's limits on usage so I needed a fix.

The epic cured all of this while presenting it's own, different problems, like gps, 4g disconnect on a call, and few others. But definitely more livable.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
nope my 3ed is rocking no troubles at all

no camera troubles no lag no nothing i have perma temp root 99% of the bloat disabled the phones screaming ... have no OC'd it yet still thinking about it
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I over clock every phone but right now its just to "see" what it could be...

I really want a Uv/Oc 1.5 kernel and see how low she can go :)

Nothing in this entire android world needs a dualcore 1.8ghz process speed... Yet!

[HTC EVO 3D] ryanaaron:
Anyone know any update on the new root for evo when it might be out i was told around a week and a half but idk..
[HTC EVO 3D] alammori:
They still have 2 weeks on my counter, otherwise many are willing to walk away, encouraged by watching and reading reviews of the SGS2 here and there.

I personally like the 3d evo, but I will not stuck with a phone that is locked and can not be moded to my liking. I will return it within two weeks and wait whatever comes first.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
The evo 3d is noticeably quieter on the external speaker. Even after the qpst hacks, I am very unimpressed with that aspect.
[HTC EVO 3D] charnsingh_online:
I came from a nexus one, This thing wows me and 3d is seriously amazing, it is so into me that for my next phone 3D is a deal breaker, everything 3d is just so good and even without 3d its a beast of a phone
[HTC EVO 3D] reverepats:
:Dive been thinking about it lately....basically what do i luv more about this and the OG EVo....yes my OG evo had root and such......but i cant think of anything else that the OG has over the 3D....i dont use the 3D aspect of it too much (actually just DL'ed assassins creed...LOL) so i cant speak to much on that.......but i think when it comes to DEV'in this device, its gonna be crazy...all the little baby's that had to return there phone cause they didnt have root, or cause they got a little light leakage by the capacitive buttons are gonna start wining when we get root.....all in all i think its a great choice...my 61 year old mother and father got one.....go figure..!!...i dunno, maybe its me but as far as the S2 goes....its just another samsung....yes, its a gorgeous device....but its just another samsung.....i wouldnt trade my 3vo for anything out there today......hopefully things go our way sooner rather than later....but for anyone who's debating wether to jump on board....i'd say go for it....cant go wrong....ohh yea!!.....and dont listen to the TROLLS.....
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I was pretty content with my Epic, but my wife was miserable with her Insight. So she got the Epic and I got the Evo. Could I have lived without it? Sure...

Am I glad I have it? Hell yeah. I love the 3D camera, but even just the smoothness and speed is nice.

Now if I could just find a good case for it. Currently I have the Otterbox Defender and really don't like it. Turns an already large and heavy phone into a brick...and I've never dropped a cell phone in over 10 years, so I don't really care about the "protection." However, I do put phones on tables and what not, so I like the screen and camera lens protection. (I'm kind of babbling about this in case someone else knows of a case that covers the screen and the lenses but maybe isn't so massively thick and huge)
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Body glove that sprint sells does that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I do think that the 3D was most definitely worth getting. If for nothing more than the far greater Battery Life, it would be worthwhile considering the Upgrade Price coupled with Selling or Trading In your 4G was worst case 50 Dollars.

However, there is so much more than BL that this Phone offers. I could care less about 3D, but the much larger amount of Onboard Storage is fantastic. As is the 3D being DLNA Compliant which means I can send Music from the 3D directly to my HT.

While some seem to really want the iGalaxy, no matter how much of an iPhone clone it aspires to be, it is still a Samsung. While some like their proprietary Whiz GUI, I do not think it comes close to Sense. Even when my 4G was Rooted, I always used Sense Based ROM's.

Cheers,

JJ
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
to me it was worth it. even without rooting im completely happy with the phone as is. i guess i got lucky and didnt get a dud. but thats been my luck with HTC.

diamond, TP, TP2, evo, and the now the 3d and view and never once have i had to take them into sprint for problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] muhbuhtuh:
i originally wasnt going to upgrade to the 3D since i was pretty content with my EVO4g. well i dropped it and shattered the screen and decided hey why not upgrade to the 3d since i had the 2 year upgrade anyway. (i recycled the evo and got the 3D for even cheaper)

very happy i upgraded to the 3d. the fact that its faster and smoother than my rooted evo stock made me all giddy inside. i seriously cant wait to see how much better this phone can be
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
Maybe this wasn't the best place to ask that question. Conventional wisdom would be to ask the people who actually bought the phone, but in this forum it's hard to get an objective answer to your question. Any problems or negative opinions people have with the phone are met with childish remarks and "fanboyism". I personally purchased 2 of them but later returned them because got tired of waiting for the phone to get rooted/S-Off. Overall I would say it was a great phone. Faster than a bat outta hell, no lag that I could tell. Good solid build, especially when compared to the Epic. Sense vs TouchWiz is a personal preference though I always liked Sense. 3D is ok but that fad wears off quickly. The camera left a lot to be desired. Not much better than the OG Evo IMO and not better than the Epic. The screen is crisper than the OG Evo, actually it reminds me of the screen on the Epic, just colors aren't as vibrant but some people say that Samsung's screens over over saturated. Again another personal choice. I would say it is a nice improvement from the Epic & OG Evo. Not a huge jump like some people try to make it out to be but overall a nice improvement. It comes down to what you are looking for. If you are a flash-a-holic like me than right now it's not the phone for you. I would say wait for the root/S-Off to get ironed out then I would hop on it. But by then the GSII or Prime may be out or even the Photon and they have comparable specs so they may catch your eye. But as of right now you will probably get the most dev support for the 3D as most of the dev's have adopted it as their new device. Now if they don't get root/S-Off that may change. Still a waiting game. This is just my opinion but I still walk around with the both the Evo 4G and Epic as my everyday phones and have for the last year and owned the 3D for almost two weeks. Of course you will get different opinions but you have to ask yourself what it is you are looking for.

+10 Fair&Balanced

I'm with you. As you know I returned my 3D as well for pretty much the same reasons, tipping point being weak radio with no way to fix anything ourselves and no end of that in sight.

Even without taking the bootloader into consideration the phone is imperfect. Period. There is no arguing that. Some are more screwed up than others, some have actual 'bring the damn thing back' worthy defects. But all of them could really use some bug fixes for stability, radio updates, launcher lag updates, etc etc etc. That's fine. It's a brand new device. That is to be expected. This is where the rampant fanboism usually kicks in. Please do not.

I was also getting very bored with it. The 3D was neet, but, not enough to hold my attention while praying for an unlock in a timely manner.

I will bring back the NS4G and hop right back on the EVO3D if it gets s-off in a reasonable amount of time. Happily. Otherwise I'll get the SGS2 if that comes out in a reasonable amount of time--which it looks like it wont'. So if that's the case Nprime for me whenver that comes out (assuming it is this year). If the E3D ends up worst-case-scenario I highly recommend everyone take the Nexus route next time around. There is no wondering if it will be unlocked. You unluck it 30 seconds after getting the damn thing home using the command that was designed to do just that. They will probably be on all carriers...it'll make the forums a little more confusing, but we'll learn to deal with that. It does what we want out of the box and typically has trend-setting specs. I can vouch for it having best-in-class performance (yes, even against stock E3D the stock NS4G is smoother) and best android battery life I've ever seen. I digress.

One last thing...notice a bunch of us are still hanging around here polishing our F5 keys...that should say quite a bit about what we REALLY want.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
I guess that, for me at least, if root was something I absolutly positively must have on my phone I would not have bought a phone without a confirmed rock solid ability to root it. I bought the phone because I liked the speed and features it offered. If root was a deciding factor I would have either waited to buy, bought something different, or just stayed with what I had.

With that said, yeah, I wouldn't mind root. After all, I bought several apps that work only on rooted phones like Titainium Backup. BUT...I can live without them.
[HTC EVO 3D] Galecio Family:
Sorry for no drop box but you should be able to see it through youtube on the E3D:

[HTC EVO 3D] bpollina:
LOVE IT!

Started my journey with Sprint with a Mogul! Then TP, TP2 and now this Evo 3d and all I can say is WOW! Mine works fine out of the box with no hardware issues. I bought the $50 otter box defender because I keep cracking screens (hitting them on the CORNER while in my pocket typically. I've gone through 4 TP2's in 1 year and the $100 insurance kills me!). When my nine-year-old son and I watched the 3d movie it came with, he was impressed too! It is definitely a MAN's phone if you know what I mean! :)

Anyway, I have all the original stuff the TP2 came with in a factory box. I was told somewhere that I should get at least $125 or so on ebay with a cracked screen (costs about $30-50 I was told to fix screen crack?) . Does this sound about right? Any takers before I put it up soon? Let's negotiate. New battery, cable, everything. Just cracked screen (small dings / cosmetic blemishes) and < 30 days use on TP2.
[HTC EVO 3D] cody_cummins:
If they fix the reception issue and bootloader unlock, then ill say yeah but until then NOPE
[HTC EVO 3D] Ophois:
I think that it is, But I'm not going to get it because I'm a bit clumsy and my Evo has taken a couple of drops that I'm sure would shatter the E3D's non-gorilla glass screen.

[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
I thought the Evo 3D had gorilla glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
We have glass that apparently is nearly identical to gorilla glass (including being made by the same company) but for one reason or another is not called gorilla glass. Read into that what you will.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
The small issues that I keep having with this phone has me on the fence. Yeah it works fantastic, but with the screen tilting issue, the reboot not working issue, the loose 3d switcher, and low speaker, the freezing camera, the iffy DLNA, bluetooth issues, wifi issues, and tons of other software bugs, I'm not so sure. I may just wait it out with a NS4G until another DC phone comes out. I guess we'll see...
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
The software issues that you mentioned can be fixed with hacks. Some need full root, some can use temp root, some require no root.

What is really the issue with the screen tilting as I haven't experienced it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Amd4life:
I too, have had most of the various smartphones, since the treo 650, and most recently came from a 4G.

The 3D imo, is pretty cool, but I cant really use it too long due to eye strain (personal thing), the phone is incredibly fast out of the box, but also imo a rooted, tweaked 4G is "technically" as fast. scrolling, app access is about the same. The added processor renders web pages a tad faster, installing/uninstalling apps is significantly faster

the thing thats get me though is the screen shape difference. its easier to hold since its "longer", the 3D that is, but if you browse a lot like I do, the added width of the 4G is certainly missed, also the weight of the phone seems different. you can also tell the difference when the keyboard pops up, its smaller, and leads to far more missed letters for those with bigger fingers (again, most wont have this issue)

Im sure some prefer the phone being lighter, but to me if just doesnt feel as substantial...

and whats up with the super small font

my reception is about the same, the wifi is SUPER fast, I can finally get the full speed off my N connection

its a nice phone though, its not really a ground breaking upgrade though

now once its rooted (it wont be too long, heck the fre3vo works great for me already), and tweaked roms come out, I think it will be no competition

[HTC EVO 3D] Galecio Family:
You know I had alot of the issues people here complain about (touch screen no respoding, laggy, wont turn off, etc etc) and I realized by turning Fast Boot off all my problems went away. Maybe you guys can try that to see if it fixes alot of problems for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Yeah most definitely not. It's a valid issue and is pretty annoying once you look for and find it. I'm sure if your house were off foundation a little, or your car's wheel alignment was off and you figured it out, it wouldn't be nitpicking to want it right. I mean seriously, how do you mess something up like that and expect people to be OK with it?

My screen is shifted clockwise to the right just a few millimeters at the most, but it is really really irritating once you notice it.
[HTC EVO 3D] jadoe05:
Anything that you have to look for because someone else mentioned it or you need to be pointed out to you by someone else is nitpicking. The fact is somebody noticed it and posted it on here. People are so vulnerable to a suggestion. Even if 75% of the 3Ds have this issue most people outside of these forums will never see it.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't want/expect the best. But you must admit that perception is everything and most people won't be able to perceive this issue without help.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
That's true too. I wish I hadn't noticed it or even bothered looking in that thread, because now it's all I can look at when I turn my phone on. It's one of those things where after you find it, you can never forget about it. My EVO 4G, and previous phones may have even had the issue too, but at least then I was oblivious. I'm really wondering how many other phones have had screen alignment problems like that...
[HTC EVO 3D] jblazea50:
I like the phone better than the EVO 4G. It's thinner, not as wide, feels much better in the hand. Also, it's very fast. Haven't really used 3D too much, but even without it, the phone is great.

Once the bootloader is unlocked and custom roms start flowing, it'll be even better. It's already OCed to 1.8ghz, which is insane.
[HTC EVO 3D] toneman1984:
In regards to running my 3vo overclocked at 1.8ghz

Well i've only been OC'd since last night so I'm not too certain. But I've had it off the charger since 11am and went on a 30 minute walk with brightness on full (it's a bright day out) and shot 3d video and took 3d pictures along the way, also made phone calls and text messages. The battery indicator is still full. I'll let you know how it is by tonight.

But man OC'd this thing is so ridiculously fast. I was playing NOVA3D and it was awesome. I didn't think this phone could get faster than stock speeds but I was wrong.

There are enough tweaks and mods coming out to keep the flashaholic in me entertained. For example, ADW EX + 3VO + OC'd + TempRoot is pretty awesome. Maybe I'm biased? This **** is awesome.

I do not know about anyone else but i know i am happy with mine and personally i do not see anything right now that can compete with the options that this phone has. If you dont like it dont waste time complaining about it just take it back and pick something else that you will not be satisfied with either
[HTC EVO 3D] toneman1984:
Yeah that's what i'm running. The speed is unbelievable. Add some ADW for customization. Developers have spoken in the "root or no root" thread that they are optimistic about root so I think we're in a pretty good position: OC'd 1.8ghz, TB, WT, RE, etc. S-off on the horizon.
[HTC EVO 3D] cooolone2:
TRUE! this... you only hear the problems and complaints... not enough praise!

The EVO3D is an amazing handset, only thing unfortunate for the time being is the inability to root which when it comes, will only make this handset that much better!

I am very happy with my E3D, no issues at all. So far...

:)
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
Derp? Well if your concern is making your phone all pretty looking that just shows how much of a fag you really are. Some people actually root there phone to make it work better than what the phone actually does. Which I think I stated clearly in my post. IMO I don't even think you have your phone temp rooted. While everyone is sitting patient waiting for a more permanent method, playing and tweeking their phones off temp root. Your still in the threads trolling & *****ing about s-off, @ the same time spamming HTC's Facebook page. Flashing custom roms is just an add-on to having s-off. By the way, I resent that comment due to the fact of how much of a noob you are and none the less displayed by your trolling.

I will close my statement by directing this comment to the ones who don't know the difference between a kernel and a adb script. You've already seen the magic of Fre3vo (thanx Team Win). If your going to ***** about "Where's S-off?" Get a new phone or, GO HACK THE E3D YOUR DAMN SELVES!
