I'm thinking about something better than evo 3D. My upgrade is this September maybe something better will be out? If not then ill take the evo 3D if its dual core like the atrix but I will NOT buy a kyocera(however you spell it) .
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
I will answer this poll as soon as I know wtf it is, what it's specs are.

that being said, i likely will.
[EVO 4G General] MadFlava:
I will.. Im going to add my daughter on to my plan and she will be inheriting my Evo. Not bad for a 11 year old.
[EVO 4G General] rsmith675:
maybe after the devs have some time with it
[EVO 4G General] codyisnottanner:
lol im only 17 but im thinking about having a kid now just so i can do this since my upgrade isnt till next summer
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
yeah..

i agree...more info is needed on phone and...

and there are other things to consider before i give up my evo.

my upgrade is available in Dec... so what else might come out?

which phone will the devs support the most?
[EVO 4G General] bwcorvus:
My 11 year has my old evo. She uses it with Google voice and its free :)

[EVO 4G General] jstalford:
Probably not since I won't have a yearly upgrade. I'm fine with the evo till next year and getting the next evo.

Why are Kids having Kids these days?
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
This is what I will be doing as well. I have my Gold Premiere Status and will get the EVO 3D and just give my EVO to my daughter who is 10. She already has a Samsung Moment and keeps complaining it's too slow.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I'll most likely be picking one up.
[EVO 4G General] jxr94:
I will if

Evo 3D = HTC Shooter + 3d screen
[EVO 4G General] heathmcabee:
I'll most likely be selling both my Epic and Evo to get the phone out of contract. Hopefully it will come close to making it where I dont need to spend any cash.

If what bluescreen says is true, i will definitely be buying the EVO 3d. The only thing i'm upset about is waiting till June.

[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
I love my EVO but if everything said so far is true then I'm going to find a nice cozy resting spot for it in one of my drawers. I was excited about the possibilities of what Sprint/HTC had in store for release this year but this thing appears to have exceeded my expectations. The only problem being that since Sprint changed the Premier upgrade policy I won't hit 10 years and be eligible for upgrade till September. Might have to give a call to CS and see if they can move that up a few months.
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Just got back from the sprint store and have an upgrade june 1st, and august 1st. Cant pass on a new evo now.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
just called sprint since im sitting on a full upgrade. i will not loose it at all so i can use it on either the nexus s or evo3d. she told me the nexus will be $199 but they have no release date yet. she did say the evo may not be coming until summer. so this is going to be a hard choice for me.
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
Easy choice. Evo hands down. I just hope they did done work on battery consumption.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
you forget that the nexus s will receive all google updates well before any other phone. build in 16gb is pretty good for me too.
[EVO 4G General] mkeena0305:
The evo will have those updates. Maybe not ota. But I can guarantee they will get them. I just dont see the point in using an upgrade for a nexus s.

[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
It looks like a great phone but I'm still waiting for the day that this becomes a reality

Well I'm geyting nexus s and evo 3d and evo tablet
[EVO 4G General] tjleeland:
I think this is the future, but it will take a better battery technology to do it. But in 10 years I think all smart phones will be able to project a screen and a keyboard for a full desktop-like experience.
[EVO 4G General] tjleeland:
I really didn't have any active plans to upgrade my EVO, but seening these specs I don't think I can pass it up -- especially since I'll have an upgrade to use as of June 5.

hopefully they come with better spellcheck
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
Can someone explain the 3d part of the new Evo? Is the 3d the camera, or is it some sort of effect when viewing the screen?
[EVO 4G General] shanghei:
Anyone thing this is a game changer? or a big dud?
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
As others mentioned: while I clicked yes I have to see the screen myself. I think 3D is a gimmick at best, and I'm not willing to give up 2d quality for it.

As for battery draw, I think it's going to be none too great until they get the dual-core API ported into android so they can coordinate shutting down un-needed CPUs to save battery. Think the fabled ice-cream should do it, otherwise we may have to sit on bad battery ... then again that's what really makes it an EVO.
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
I voted no in the poll a few days ago but after seeing all this information leak, I'm seriously considering it. I guess I'll make my mind up tomorrow for sure. If it has lte, I'm definitely getting it.

Its the way some things appear in the screen. Look up the optimus 3d on YouTube and you can see it for yourself.

[EVO 4G General] twohype:
Oh ya.....I'll be in line first :D
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
Both. There is a 3D effect when viewing the screen (I'm sure they will allow this to be toggled on and off). YouTube has 3D videos that you will be able to watch and there are 2 5mp cameras on the back that will allow you to make 3D movies in 720p. You will be view those videos either on the phone or through HDMI on a 3D TV. The screen will be similar to the Nintendo 3DS.
[EVO 4G General] shoobshoober:

[EVO 4G General] r916:
:D
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
Maybe. Depends on how the specs and price pans out. If I'm not impressed I might wait for a GSII variant or something with an OMAP4 to show up on Sprint, not interested in a last gen smartphone(Nexus S: its a GS with NFC and no expansion, might as well get an Epic...) or a phone with an encrypted bootloader (Atrix.) I really couldn't give a crap about 3D capability so if it has a price premium because of it and a Cortex-A8(ish) arch, I'll be way turned off.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
If it's dual core, yes.
[EVO 4G General] westicle:
I need specs, but I will probably get one...although I gotta be honest, I still love my evo.
[EVO 4G General] Toneekay:
I'd probably be picking one up as well unless there's a better phone out that suites my needs (obviously).
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I'm still waiting to actually see the phone! I also wanna know if the 3D portion is osmeting that can be toggled on/off. Might be annoying haveing everything 3d 24/7.

If it's as good as it sounds, I'll likely be picking one up~.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
If the specs are as rumored? Yes...EXCEPT.....I have to balance it with the crappy Sprint Wimax and the much better Verizon, T-Mobile networks.

Sprints 4G is a complete bust...and THAT'S gonna be the rub!
[EVO 4G General] jrmatics:
I have been eligible for an upgrade since november of last year. I am so happy with my evo that I am not even considering upgrading to the devices thats coming out now or soon. But evo 3D is a definate buy for me. In theory with the specs of devices now of days, HTC would be crazy not to fully load an evo 4g 3D, but who knows, weird things can happen

Nope... check my thread here:

[EVO 4G General] jasongthang:
you can get welfare AND add them to your phone plan so you can get a new phone. its perfect!
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Gotta assume it will be, and if not (for whatever reason) I am definitely not. I have no interest, ZERO, in 3D and I'm not entirely convinced I even need a dual core phone at this point. Pretty sure I could get by with the Nexus S 4G for a year. That said, I am definitely curious about upcoming phones and until I hear some specs I have no problem waiting. Hell, I could get by with my Evo for another year. Apart from music, media is really not huge for me on my phone. Everyone is different, sure, but 3D seems so got dayum unnecessary to me on such a small display. Then again I have no use for 3D anything.

blah blah effin blah
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Hmmmm interesting.
[EVO 4G General] midaseris:
Potentially if its the LG version...if its HTC with their snapdragon 1.2 ghz dual core and 220 gpu I may pass and go with the Nexus. I'd really like ice cream right out of the shoot and a Google experience phone on Sprint would be sweet. The hummingbird and gpu in the S are still very much competative. Either way it will be out of pocket for me as my upgrade is a while off. I love my EVO but I'm ready for a next gen phone or direct Google updates.

[EVO 4G General] seungho92:
I hate this 3D everything, who really care for 3D? honestly, if that comes out your EVO is gonna be drained of battery every 2 hours (stock) and 5-7 hours (rooted).

I dont plan on getting it because I like old school :cool:
[EVO 4G General] cordell12:
LOL, I thought that for Illegal's only!
[EVO 4G General] AyyRayy:
Evo 3d is a must buy if you are a true evo lover. Iv had mine since launch day and I love it so much but as my friends get all of the new HTC phones this phones processor for sure shows its age when compared to shift, g2, mt4g, etc. Not to mention mine is fully overclocked and still falling behind in performance and battery life behind those stock. Evo 3d is the evo all about the new dual core, larger battery, better screen, more ram, more internal storage, etc. Who cares about the 3d don't use it. But 3d is the future like the move from floppy to CD. You could not be disappointed with this phone by the specs I have seen. :)

Powered by TeamWin's Innovation
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Looking at those specs I think I can be swayed ... but 3D is not what CDs are to floppy disks. LOL I don't even know what that is supposed to mean... and even if that made sense you are talking about such small displays that it doesn't even do it justice. And a true Evo lover has nothing to do with anything if the phone does things you don't need.

I'm as hyped for dual core phones as the next guy, but when I start thinking about it I'm not entirely convinced its necessary.

Dual core to 3D ... the former is a bigger deal than the latter. 3D is only a selling point, nothing more at this current time. Future ... who knows. At this point it's just a hype point.

blah blah effin blah
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
At this point probably not. With all those add ons I can see my data going from piss poor to non-existent.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
It cracks me up when I see people taking about 3D like it's some made up buzz word with no real value, like 4G. Saying 3D screens are pointless is like saying OLED screens arent an improvement over old lcds.

Im starting to wonder if some of these people only have one eye. I would probably do the same thing if that was the case.
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
So the specs look like about what everyone was expecting. Nice to see the larger battery, although hopefully it will be enough. I was hoping for a bit more than 4GB internal storage, other high end smartphones are shipping with 8-16GB :/ At this point whether I get it just depends on the cost. At $200 or maybe $250 I could justify it, but any more than that and no way. 3D is such a gimmick and I don't much care to pay the premium for it.
[EVO 4G General] AyyRayy:
LOL 3d is the future. We are there in every aspect. Video chat, gaming, photos, videos, HD TVs, sporting events on ESPN 3d. 3d is more than just a selling point. It is not going away and it is not hype. CD to floppy = advancement in technology. 2d display to 3d display= advancement in technology. What don't you get? This phone is a must by no matter how you look at the 3d aspect.

Powered by TeamWin's Innovation
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
3D pretty much is a buzzword at this point though. The tech just isn't there for it be be very practical at the moment. As far as I'm convinced the only version that really holds up is the type of passive polarized 3D used in movie theaters. Active shutter glasses are bulky, expensive, and cumbersome, and auto-stereoscopic displays like the EVO 3D will sport have extremely limited viewing angles and have distorted images if you are out of that perfect spot and have 3D enabled. Shooting in 3D is even more of a novelty as other than Blu-Ray 3D the recording standards haven't been hammered out very well yet, and for most people the only display they will have to view the recorded video will be on the same device they shot it on.

3D will be nice for gaming, but on an auto-stereoscopic display the mere act of moving your phone around to control the game will throw off the effect. Other than that, there really isn't much 3D content either, especially not in a format you can easily use on a phone. Heck most movies "recorded" in 3D (other than CGI pics that is) these days are poorly done conversions that distract rather than enhance the experience.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
The way I look at it is YEAH, I'm totally stoked with this as my Evo2...BUT its still stuck with crap Wimax..same phone'd be immensely better the other 4G's.

So I weigh the Evo 3D vs say Pyramid (same Htc variant) on T-Mobile..etc..
[EVO 4G General] ballindroid:
I will be selling my evo and my ps3 to get it.

Sent from my EVO 3D Test model. yes I work with sprint
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
CD to floppy is more like SD to HD in terms of output. And I don't doubt that 3D isn't the future ...but its certainly not there yet. And why are so many people not hot on small 3D displays? Because it doesn't do it justice. A 3D display on a huge screen is a world of difference compared to a pocket sized display. It is nothing more than marketing hype for small devices. Everyone wants to jump on this 3D bandwagon. Its not time yet. And I can't wait to see the terrible 3D movies people record on their relatively poor phone cameras. I don't doubt down the road it can be different ... but as it stands it is just hype.

3D displays on a phone sized device is not the hype people want to make it out to be. And in terms of the 3D to 4G relevance and comparison ... just look at WiMax.

And I mean that last part in terms of it being, yes, a next generation advancement but not necessarily practical at this point. And even when only certain aspects are meant to be viewed in 3D on a phone and others not, you get this semi next gen vibe to it. Things are recorded and meant to be in 3D and then there is just trickery. We're not there yet.

blah blah effin blah
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I still want to see the damn phone =p it sounds hella sexy tho.

I don't think I qualify for any discounts since I have only been with Sprint a little over a year... prolly have to end up paying full price. What do you guys think the chances are of this phone being as hard to get as the EVO was? Sprint would not sell me one since I wasn't a new customer...

**edit** Oh, and I wanna read some reviews on battery life on this thing, it better be leaps ahead of the Thunderbolt.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
I understand where Sprints coming from hyping the 3D.

They're flagship Evo had an industry first: 4G..propelling it to great sales.

Can't sell Evo2 on processor speed! What's a mass market niche? 3D baby!! WOOOW!

Remember the vast majority of buying traffic in sprint stores are NOT Xda readers! They see the 3D and get wowed by the 3D. Let that sell the Evo2! We want it to sell.

Meanwhile we enjoy its true value.

That said, if you can't turn 3d off, then I likely won't purchase this phone.
[EVO 4G General] bwillet:
I would love to get it, but since Sprint is getting rid of my1yr upgrade because they don't think that approx180 per month is enough and I only have 7 years of loyal service, including many referrals that I never got paid for even though I was supposed to, I may not be able to afford it. I'm not going anywhere, but they keep taking things from me and it makes me mad. I have been very loyal and I really want a new EVO killer to show off to all my iPhone toting coworkers. Waaaaaah.... ;)
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
I'm not sure why anyone is voting yes yet. We have a good idea of what phone it might be, but nothing is confirmed. It seems it could either be the LG 3D phone or the supposed HTC Shooter.

A lot of people here seem to dislike or at least hold no favor towards LG and likely will not get the phone if it's not an HTC phone.

Maybe there should be an option for 'Yes if HTC', 'No if LG' or any other brand =P
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
There HAS to be a toggle for output.

And I'm not *****ing .. I'm just amazed at the hype that people are giving it. 3D on a small pocket sized display? No thank you. Everything g about this, should the specs be true, is enough to pump me up.

I just don't get all the chubbies being popped over a 3D phone. To each their own, sure. But I think people want to hype it more than necessary at this point.

blah blah effin blah
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Maybe so, maybe they're just excited for a new feature that isn't available now. Doesn't matter, I'm actually neutral on the 3D thing, sure it will provide some "oh cool" moments.. but I don't see it in everyday use.

I still don't wanna turn any negative energy to the people who are excited about the 3d.. what's the point in doing that?

This phone is so much more than 3d. I just don't understand what else people want.
[EVO 4G General] rocket321:
I'm afraid the additional screen layers required for 3d (parallax barrier) will cause poor viewing angles and have poor outdoor visibility. Remember, the "super" in samoled was achieved by removing screen layers.

I read that on the lg 3d phone, you can see screen distortion due to the parallax layer.

I would much rather have a high quality 2d amoled than a poor quality 3d lcd...
