Hey, I had the evo 4g with all the bells and whistles! It was the best phone I ever had until I got the evo 3d. The 3d is fantastic. It seems the only people that say to wait are the people that still own the evo 4g, like they are trying to justify not getting it themself. Everyone with a 3d evo says to upgrade. I have never had to reset the phone, i think the 3d is awesome, and its blazing fast with stock. A permanent root will come real quick, the phone has only been out for a few weeks. I say go get your 3d now as every day you wait is another one you will regret once you get it. The kickstand is disappointing but they do have a case out with a kickstand built in. ike they are trying to justify not getting it. Your wasting your time, go pick it up now and sell your evo on ebay or craigslist and you will get the phone for basically free if you contract is up!! I ended up making 100 dollars on the deal with the 70 credit from sprint!
