She's actually thinking about switching over now, because of the E3D. However, she has a phone that has been around for like 3 years...so what looks new and exciting to her, may not be as impressive to many of us.

As for battery life....idk. They said it was pretty bad, but they said they barely used it. At the same time, they took a ton of photos, videos, checked e-mail, twitter, browsed the web, and most likely played around with the upgraded UI to me. After 14hrs of all that, I'm pretty sure most phones would be about ready to die. I'm not saying they used it non-stop for 14hrs, but doesn't that seem more like heavy use?? IDK...maybe I missed something.

Obviously, I couldn't see the 3D effect of the photos in the Gallery they provided. The 2D pics didn't look so bad to me. Maybe not quite as good as the Evo 4G, but it is a phone...right? The video did seem a little more choppy, too. I don't use my camera all that much anyway.

I know I'm still gonna get it... I just hope the 3D isn't pure crap. Like everyone else, I have my own likes and opinions...but I do trust Engadget to an extent.

Thoughts?

I have to admit the review was concerning. But for me it was more the realization and further confirmation that Sprint's 4g network has the potential to really fall behind the competition. Idk, upgrading for another wimax phone makes me pause right now. Also the camera review has me wondering if the evo 4g takes better pics? I guess we will see how it compares soon enough. I going to check out the sensation tomorrow since t-mobile has them on display just to get an idea of the screen and performance.
