First of all, this is the first Android phone that I've actually had the voice dial work about 99% of the time (the 3D, not the Photon). Secondly, HTC Sense UI is so much better than Motorola's Blur's ugly, stoic interface. If you care, the Photon takes better pictures, and I do believe that the Photon fits into the same dock as the Atrix, so you can have that neat little dock that turns it into a laptop. The Photon also has the potential to be International as well.
That being said, the Photon is notably slower than the Evo 3D. That might be due to the slower 1GHz dual-core Tegra in the Photon vs. the 1.2GHz Snapdragon in the Evo. It's still not slow by any means, but the Evo 3D is a whole lot more fluid than the Photon. You also cannot root the Photon (yet), and may never be able to if Motorola gets its way. The Evo is world more flexible than the Photon in this aspect.
Phone calls are notably better on the Photon, but the speakerphone on the Evo 3D is WAY better. The Photon also gets better reception on the Evo 3D (which might account for the better call quality).
The breaking point of the Photon is basically this: The interface is awful and the speed is notably slower. Did I mention the interface?

So tell us, how does the interface compare? lol
Nah, I thought about it because to me, the camera on the E3d really blows. May not matter to some, but I take a lot of pics of my kid so I need a decent camera phone. But I just doen't have faith in Motorola products, not to mention I'd have to pay $150 for the thing, since I traded in my Evo to get the 3d. Now once that SGIIS drops, I may be jumping ship.
