Well now that the Evo 3d duel core phone is out today our phone is no longer the top dog... Now it is a piece of crap.... and sprint wont give me an upgrade until november! how dare they! So now i must be stuck trading between epics and evo 4g's every week! We need a support group... we can tell ourselves that our phone is great but lets face it no duel core and no duel cams either and no internal 4gb of internal ram,,,,, i need phoneagra from the makers of viagra.,...
It may not be the top current phone, but it is not a piece of crap. These kind of whining has got to stop among the mass public in the world. Everyone always complaining about their phones going "out of style" when new phones hit the market. Everyone always want to rush-buy the new phones, but always fail to realize that those phones will also be "out of style" when more phones hit the market. EVO 3D will be all the rave, but 6 months later...(next year?)..maybe sooner... EVO 3D will be considered "piece of crap" along with past phones. My gawd, the Epic is still a great phone. Stay with it for a few years, for sure I will. If you're rich, fine, keep getting new phones, who cares.
Epic are not a piece of crap. Period.
Thank you thunder for telling him off
Back when ppl didnt hate on xda and no one left the forum we had discussions like this but every thought the same thing you just said

Are you gonna be able to do anything with the evo 3d that you don't do with the epic? NOOO. So why spend more money if you will only be able to do the same things you are now. My definition of a pos is having a samsung instinct when this epic was first released and some would prolly say hey that was still a nice phone and it was but the amount of new features that I got with this epic was astronomical. That sir is when you get new phones. Besides their will be no apps and te development will be really slow on that for a long time. So me ill wait a couple of years till everyone has the dualcores figured out really well.

Now if you're referring to Sprint only offerings. That's not much to brag about. LMAO
In the rest of the phone world, epic lost it's crown soon after Tegra 2 phones were released.
Don't believe me? on the technical side, go look at the benchmarks. On the real world side, goto Radio Shack/Best Buy and play with those phones side by side to the your Epic.

i am just talking about the sprint devices. I also know that by the end of the year that quad core phones will be out... now sure if sprint will have quad core phones or not...
Really... this OP smells of e-peenor contest and is pretty moot.
Answer me this, does your Epic get you laid by the simple fact of you showing it to the tween girls and them melting all over you cuz you have an Epic phone?
If not, then your balls haven't dropped yet.
according to http://phandroid.com/2011/06/24/rumor-sprint-bringing-epic-4g-2-4g-galaxy-s-ii-in-q3/ the epic 4g 2 will be another piece of crap as it will be single core. As we know a flag ship phone must have the highest number of cores to date for the cell phone company.
souped up version of the original Epic. Inside will be a single-core 1.2Ghz processor and we’ll likely see Gingerbread. We’ll be on the lookout for a keyboard, of course, and the camera is said to be 8 megapixels instead of 5. But don’t expect too much more than that.

I was told that I can trade in my evo and $50 for a evo 3D but is it worth it?? I read that they will have root soon for the 3D...
It's worth it for a more up to date piece of technology. Root should be here in early September.
Personally I'm on the borderline because I think it's a great offer..however..that means I won't be able to upgrade until 2013. And next year an even better phone will come out.
Yes. I would do that in a heartbeat. I have three evos right now.
Was that offer without contract upgrade?

If it was me, I think I would wait for the EVO 4G +, or at least more information about it.
The 3D just seems like a gimmick that you might end up not using after a short time.
The 4G + is supposed to be the 3D minus the 3D but with the single 8MP camera. That's what I want. However since I just upgraded to get this one I have a while to wait.

I though about it, But i am keeping my EVO4G better, This ROM, KINGS Hybrid 3D is super fast, all works, I like my 8mega pix better, and somehow my Phone is faster 4G, than the new EVo3D
The 3d is crazy fast. Definitely an upgrade. I never realized how laggy synergy was until the 3d. Apps open instantaneously. Everything is quick. Screen is brilliantly colored and super high res. 3d is gimmicky, but I see myself using it for almost every picture. camera (3d or not) is better than og evo hands down. Feels more solid, more brick like, thinner, better to hold. Everything about the phone is better in my opinion.
Btw, all the reviews in this thread are from people who haven't upgraded for one reason or another. Of course they'll say don't upgrade. Ask in the 3d forums and you'll get all yes answers. You really need to make your own decision.

Listen to Dkdude. Trust me, I ran every rom there was on my 4g. Yes they were fast, but there is no comparison to what the hardware is capable of on the 3d. And like another member said. If you wait for "the next big thing", and trying to keep your upgrade, believe when you finally do get "that next big thing" 4 months later you will be out of date again.

Yea ur right, everything will always be out of date very quickly.
I just feel like I have an evo 3d without the 3d cause of thr new 2.1/3.0 roms. No I dont have a 3d and yes ive only played with it for 3 1/2 minutes at the sprint store, but my phone looked almost the same software wise sitting next to it. And I do like the design of my evo better.
To me it jus didnt excite me,like omg I have to get this, cause my og evo felt almost the same. I just wanna wait until one phone really excites me, and it probably wont be until this evo cant handle newer roms.
Just my very personal opinion

Just got the 3D coming from 4G.
So far it's great. Even the 3D stuff is fun to play with.

If you wait, you just push your next contract discount clock out further for the next next phone.
If you have full discount, I say take it now, so the clock starts running for the next upgrade discount.
I have an HTC EVO 4G, I'm considering upgrading to the EVO 3D.
My local Sprint store has a deal that if you have a 2 year upgrade and you trade in your EVO 4G, you can get the EVO 3D for $50.00 dollars.
I'm considering trading my EVO 4G in. As you can guess, I'm rooted. Do I need to un-root prior to trying to turn in phone in? I've taken my phone in for service, rooted without hassle before for this is different.
Also I do NOT have my factory HTC battery. I upgraded and gave my original to a friend. Is this an issue as far as trading in?
Thanks!
I did not unroot my phone nor did I put the stock battery back in. All they did was look at the esn number that was on the phone and then threw it in a drawer. They won't look through it or anything so you have nothing to worry about.

You should do it if you think the evo 3d is worth the exchange. You can also wait it out and see what else they will come out with. Im pretty sure they will come out with something much faster and better.
I would at least wipe it so there's none of your information on it
I played with the 3D in the store and wasn't all that impressed coming from the Vibrant on T-Mobile so I snagged up the Evo 4G while I waited for a better dual core. So now I am getting the Motorola Photon 4G on the 30th and since I am new to Sprint and within 30 days I only have to shell out an extra 100.
What I am saying is that over all the Photon looks to be way better then the 3D. I did not care for the 3D at all and it looked very odd. Also for me and my eyes I could see the layer that is over the screen when I moved the phone around and that was enough to turn me away. Also I really wanted one feature that really killed and that is Wiimote/other controllers and TV out at the same time. The Evo 4G and 3D wont have that since HTC has an odd BT stack that doesn't want to pair with a Wiimote and yes Cyanogen does but then you loos HDMI out so your still SOL. The Photon will do all that out of the box.
The other thing that looks really compelling with the Photon is the webtop. I see this replacing my PC for internet browsing and stuff. I don't play any PC games anymore and what games I do play are all on my phone so it is a win win win for me.
So consider the Photon before jumping on the 3D, it just might be a better match for you.
Photon better than the 3d? You are obviously joking. O....wait I think u are actually being serious.
Let's see outdated tegra 2 vs Qualcomm 2200..... No brainer.....

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Also keep in mind u will probably never be able to run anything custom on the photon, yet the EVO 3d is weeks if not days away from being fully rooted. Then all this negative crap will go away when they see what the phone can really do.

Over all the only upside to the 3D is the 3D and it is not that great I played with it for 10 min in the store and it just seemed a little odd just like the 3DS.
for the CPU the Tegra2 beats the MSM8660 in benchmarks and real life speed tests. Games are created for the Tegra2 that don't run on other CPU's because they cannot handle the texture size. 16gb storage built into Photon and none on the 3D. Webtop, true HDMI mirroring, and correct BT stack for Photon and a docking station with USB device support.
But I'm not turning this into a war of devices, I was simply informing the OP that there are other choices out there as he kinda sounded a bit unsure of the move.
Yes u can,the b/l comes unlock.on the photon, I just don't like the kickstand.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
You're right I won't turn this into a war if devices but to say the only upside is the 3d would just be incorrect. Any person could look at the specs of the two side by side and easily be able to point out many superior features in the EVO.

I just went back to my 4g after 2 weeks with a 3d. It wasn't for me as I felt the cost/benefit did not justify an upgrade. I realize now that the 4g is enough for my needs.

Both Moto and HTC are bad about this. But Moto did unlock the Matrix so it's a safe bet that they will unlock the Photon to.

Especially because technology moves at such a quick rate, it's insane. New phones are being released, announced, or leaked almost every week. Besides, there's usually not too much of a significant change for many months at a time. Yeah, one phone has 1.2GHz instead of 1.0GHz, but would you really notice? And I mean really, truly notice? Not "Of course, the benchmark scores are higher", I mean "Wow, this game runs much better!".
I just bought an Evo 4G on a new contract last month, even though everyone told me that I should wait (or should have waited) for the Evo 3D. I'm very happy with my purchase, and after seeing both my boss' and my roommate's 3D's, I can honestly say that I don't regret it. Yeah, Sense 3.0 is awesome, but once root hits the 4G, I can even have that if I want.
No confirmation from Moto that they will be unlocking the Photon's bootloader. They have stated specifically that it will ship with bootloader, recovery and kernal locked as usual. Other than that it looks pretty good. Not my cup of tea, but the Galaxy S II should be here in about a month as well. If you're really patient, then most of the speculation I've read says that quad core phones will be shipping by Christmas. Personally I'll be sticking with my Evo 4G for now. 3D seems like a gimmick, no root for the Photon and, well, the GalaxyS II is a Samsung.
i just had to do it lol .. not bad at all imo
You switched? I said I wasn't thinking about it..but now I am.
My phone pissed me all the way off today. Unplug from 10am at 99%...at 2pm I'm at 25%. 25!!!!!! And from 10am to 2pm, I was in my class for an hour and didn't even touch my phone. That's basically 4 ****in hours. 4! I'm still pissed. I've been pissed all day. Let me know how that phone is.
Edit: And you'll probably get flamed for this. People might come in and be like "THE EFF THIS GOTTA DO WITH THE E4GT!!" and this will probably get closed...if it does, pm me. I really want to know about the iPhone
Don't give two ****s about the iPhone. Enjoy being a sheep. And imo, you're trolling.
im loving this phone so far i got the 32 gig i have had all the top sprint phone 3d , photon, and the epic touch ......only thing i miss from my epic is the screen size ... so far speed very fast. better cam better screen i will update on batter life later
Not me. But, I know my daughter wants one. I will do it once the prices drop on Ebay for a clean ESN one off contract. I myself will NEVER own APPLE. It amazes me how people hated M$ years ago and now Apple is doing the same and it's ok. But to each his own. Hope it treats you well. My sister loved hers.
i am a fan of tech, not companies. If an apple product fit my needs from a phone standpoint, i would make the switch no questions. Right now, ET4G is what i am digging, but if you get what you need with an iphone great!

That is the way I also think.....I would switch if the 4s came out with a 4.0-4.5 screen, had a 4g radio would be even better if it had SuperAmoled. Right now it would be a downgrade for me on what I want out of a phone.
if it had 4.3" screen and wimax, I would have bought one
but for now, especially since its off contract, and id need at least 32gb.....who has $749 for a phone lol
Ill wait for the iphone 5 LTE version I guess
What a mistake
Just got my iphone 4s in the mail today and i regret it already after 5 hours,this os is so lame and boring theres nothing to it got to spoiled on android with customizing everything,not much different from when i had the very first iphone.forgot about no flash too wtf was i thinking listening to all these paid off reviewers that always give it over rated reviews and the pics are good but not as good i dont care what anyone says.pics i have take with my epic 4g touch are cleaner,brighter,sharper and better even when compared on my desktop,even with the random minor issues my 4g touch had it is still better by far.every issue could but fix with updates that should be around the corner.iphone 4s is a mistake and waste of money unless u like no flash or sd slot or just dont like doing cool things to the appearance of your phone,very plan os.selling on ebay tonight already reconnected my epic 4g touch,now i will never leave android.
you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did the opposite 4 weeks ago, went from iphone on att to epic 4g touch. Happy that I did for many of the same reasons listed above, also the screen size, camera quality, etc..

I currently have the EVO 3D and like it a lot. However, I really want to have ICS stock and no longer care about the HTC widgets. I also feel like ICS is optimized for Samsung phones.
With that, should I use my upgrade now for the Epic Touch or is there another phone that I should be waiting for? I know the Touch has only been out for a few months and when I look online, I don't see anything else coming out. If the Verizon Nexus Prime was coming to Sprint in a few months, I would absolutely wait for that.
I just don't want to use my upgrade and regret it later. I feel like phones with buttons are going to be outdated in 6 months and I hate having relics.
Thoughts?

I have been sitting on an upgrade for nearly a year. My thing is, after a phones been out for a month or two, you can pretty much get it on craigslist for the same price you would pay for a upgrade, with no contract. I am holding off until ces in january to decide how i will use mine.
I say keep the 3d. You'll have way more rom's to flash and keep you busy till a LTE phone cames around. Not much development for the touch. Things might change once ice cream sandwich drops, but by then LTE will be the phone to get.

And who knows what we will see between now and then. The PS VITA comes out in Feb with a quad core processor... I can't imagine it will take very long to see phones coming out with similar chipsets.
Plus, it's easy enough to kill Sense if you want to. With a proper root/recovery, you could do anything with that device you so choose. You may have to kill the 3d to do a whole lot with it, but would that honestly be a travesty, if you are considering getting rid of the phone in the first place?

so what, there are at least 6 other active threads about the EXACT same thing that searching first would have revealed. People get sick of seeing the same threads over and over again.

I currently have the EVO 3D and like it a lot. However, I really want to have ICS stock and no longer care about the HTC widgets. I also feel like ICS is optimized for Samsung phones.
With that, should I use my upgrade now for the Epic Touch or is there another phone that I should be waiting for? I know the Touch has only been out for a few months and when I look online, I don't see anything else coming out. If the Verizon Nexus Prime was coming to Sprint in a few months, I would absolutely wait for that.
I just don't want to use my upgrade and regret it later. I feel like phones with buttons are going to be outdated in 6 months and I hate having relics.
Thoughts?

Without knowing what features of a phone are important to you, it is kind of hard to give an intelligent answer. The only thing you mentioned that you want is ICS and this phone doesn't have it.
What matters more to you; screen size, screen quality, build quality, radio strength, devlopment community, etc. Than maybe someone can give you a meaningful answer.
Super AMOLED Plus is reason enough to get the Epic 4G Touch! The screen is beautiful and untouchable. Seriously it's freaking beautiful!! Do you plan on rooting your 3D? I heard there's more roms and development for that phone over the Epic Touch. All I know is that there will be better phones probably by Summer you'll start hearing real stuff about the Galaxy S3. Phones are just getting better and better. I know there will be phones are next year that will blow my phone out the water but I'm happy with what I have until I can upgrade. The Epic 4G Touch is truly a great phone and will totally satisfy your needs (most likely). It also depends on how you like to use your phone. If you depend on having a strong signal, go with the Motorola Photon. My girl has that phone and she gets signal in spots where Verizon phones get dropped calls and signal. If your into multimedia and watching stuff, the Epic Touch is awesome for that.
Deleted... Maybe.... Yes... I deleted my smart*** answer....
There's a major announcement involving sprint Samsung and Intel January so i would wait

IMO I like the E4GT is better but I don't think there is enough of a reason to warrant a change. Wait for a bigger badder phone.
I had evo 4g and evo3d,i even bought a 3dtv.dev is bad ass.I cross over to the dark side to match my Samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet,but after having sg2 for a month I haven't look back senses.I love the lightweight,allshare app to my leds tvs,tablets.The bigger,beautiful screen,plus all my evo3d friends admire,and the camera alot better.I have a newborn so its important. Touchwiz has grown on me lol.

A lot more developer support on the E3D. Don't get me wrong, we have a number of amazing and dedicated devs for this phone, but you have a lot of options with the Evo
I heard the 3d pictures sucked... I had the regular Evo & I was in love with it...it had a cracked screen tho... Only reason I upgraded was because I lost my phone.
---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------
But glad I did I love this phone... When the new photos come out next year I'll just get a2nd line
I got rid of an evo 3d for the epic touch. Its a great upgrade but I did it when it first came out. I'd wait because your phone still holds its own. Remember, the GS2 is from may.
And aosp is no more optimized for Samsung as it is HTC. The gs2 may be faster due to the faster processor and GPU, also lower resolution.

I am on Sprint and love my rooted EVO, I am due to upgrade now and I am wondering what Android phone would be good to get if I replaced my EVO. I really want something that I can root and have the flexibility like my EVO. Is there something out there?
thanks for any insight you have.
Wait till Wednesday because Sprint and HTC are holding a press conference to announce probably a new phone.
Im in the same boat. iv had the evo since day 1 and my upgrade is due very soon. Im going to wait until next wait to hear about the new phones sprint has to offer at the press conference. As much as i want to upgrade I also do not want to! I love my evo and i love the support base it has on XDA with roms and tweaks! I feel like no other phone will have the support the evo has!

Very cool, waiting til Wednesday for sure now! Thanks!
Hey,
I would wait because htc has the best phones, but remember sprint will be rolling out with more lte phones they might be worth waiting for since we are paying for premium data, just a thought
In a similiar situation myself. My upgrade became eligible 4/1. I am waiting till wend. But my concern is ...I have great 4g where I am and am concerned with upgrading to lte and being stuck on 3g for a year or more. The Cleveland area is in the third launch group.
To the op the epic touch seems great, I just added my daughter to my plan ( she got a free evo 3d great deal and great phone) and I got to play with it. The screen is amazing and very responsive. It also has great reviews. The only drawback is the forum for it here. I have been stalking it lately and it does not seem near as nice or active as the evo. 4g 's if I am wrong please correct me.

Hey,
I mean the development community is alright for the evo3d and it is a great phone, but the evo is one of the biggest hits and has a HUGE amount of support on the xda forums and we are truly blessed with that and it really isnt something you wont find on any other phone
i would definitely wait to see what the happens with the rumors of the htc evo one
if you're following development for your next phone, i'd say stick to the EVO series.
The Galaxy line heavily favors GSM (since its natively GSM) so development for CDMA galaxy phones are the tricklings from their GSM brothers and because of that ppl get more restless, constantly expecting more from their devs as they hear about what comes out for the GSM variant (i lived it - it WILL get to you, i had the S2 since launch), but no hate intended, the development has gotten up to speed recently and the devs that have stuck around are beasts, but the S2 forum had lost a lot of support/respect from devs bc of the overly anxious community.
The EVO line is basically reserved for CDMA/Sprint. i had the E3D at launch and now my bros E4G and the development/devs/community for each had better vibes. Development seemed to come naturally and more comfortably because there wasn't a GSM variant pushing the devs because "the same phone is getting more development". Ppl are more humane, so Devs stay happy. Devs stay, so we stay happy. From the way it looks, especially with most ppls upgrades coming up, the EVO One X, or whatever, is going to be the direct successor of this phone. so you can expect a lot of the development/devs/community to translate when it drops - of course, not to the same magnitude because its not so much of a game-changer as the Evo 4G was initially, but it will definitely get a lot of attention
I was obviously contrasting GNex + GSIII vs Evo One X but you could always wait a while to see the impacts of each phone and then decide. i'm probably pretty biased bc I cant wait for the EoX to drop but as long as there are CDMA and GSM variants of the same phone, one side is always getting the shorter straw

Looks like MikG devs are looking at the HTC One X (Jet). I'm guessing that's what will be announced tomorrow.

I wouldn't go for an EVO 3d for an upgrade.. its a nice phone but would be boring due to the sense 3.0 roms for the evo and 6 months after your upgrade you would want a newer one due to the 3d being.considered old now and the EVO 4G is so outdated sprint no longer sells it
I only mentioned the e3d because my daughter got 1 free I was looking at the s2. I really wanted the new evo one coming out but it being lte, I will lose my 4g till about late 2013 or about the time of my next upcoming upgrade. So if I want to keep wimax what is the best phone?

e4gt hands down. its blows the e3d away in design and performance, imo. if youre a true stickler on signal/reception - mopho, its a world phone too. the iphone isnt even 4g capable. i'd still stick with the e4gt if you must have a wimax device
