Re: Is the Evo3D worth it?

The 3D is nothing special. The EVO 4G was so much better of a jump coming from the TP2.

Of course it was alot better switching from tp2 to evo 4g. That's like going from a nice toyota corolla to an acura. 4g is still nice but people didn't get 3d for 3d. They got it for the 4gb built in memory and dual core processor. Only thing that should keep people away from 3d is battery life and waiting for the photon or galaxy s2. For me its not that big a deal. Just found out that I permanently have gold premier status so I can renew again next year.

3d is gimmicky, but cool. Phone is really fast. Sense 3.0 is beautiful and my battery life has improved.

Overall, I love my phone.

Re: Is the Evo3D worth it?

I went from a Hero to this, and it is unbelievable how much of an upgrade it is. I do miss the physical keys the hero had, but other than that, I love it.

In regards to battery, it is hard for me since where I work, I am on roaming, and that KILLS the battery. I can't make it 8 hours when roaming. But my hero didn't do any better. I think it is more the data roaming that actually drains it as bad.

But if you aren't in a hurry to get a new phone, you can always wait to see how the next big phone stacks up (Moto Photon or SGII). Then make a decision.

Re: Is the Evo3D worth it?

Depends on what you are coming from and if you have a full upgrade. If you have the evo 4G and had to pay full price for the 3VO, I would have to say not really worth the upgrade. All the great roms and hardware for the 4G still make it one of the best phones out. However, only 200 for the 3VO, I would say yes its worth it. There are a few bugs but the phone is SO smooth. Even without all the great features that come with custom roms and root I have still been enjoying the phone tons. I was always searching for a rom to move as smooth as this and the only thing I can think of was the 1.2 stable deck rom. The phone is that good stock. The 3D is cool but not worth leaving a close to comparable phone. Can't lie, still pretty cool and fun to show off to those that don't appreciate the hardware of phones out now. Its what this phone is capable of that makes it great and will make it even better with time and great Devs.

Re: Is the Evo3D worth it?

If the sole reason your getting it its for the 3d I'd say pass. The 3d isn't that great (my opinion) However it is a very good phone. I would argue its probably one the best phones available . A couple things you should know battery kind of sucks, music player doesn't work (my wife, brother, and I all have the same skipping issue) the font size is small, and most programs aren't full screen. Lol thats a lot but the phone is pretty sick and these are issues that can be fixed with updates

Skipping issue? Haven't seen that on mine. What do you mean by that.

Those of you getting over 10hrs on the evo 3d must not be using the phone or my phone is just defective. I use my phone for several phone calls, constant texting, using couple apps here and there and some internet surfing with bluetooth off and the most I have gotten is a little over 7hrs on a good day. That just sucks. I was getting at least 10 on my evo 4g. As of now I will probably will be returning it unless it receives update that helps with battery life before my 30 days is up.

Re: Is the Evo3D worth it?

hell yea!!! dual core 1.2ghz cpu, 1gb RAM, QHD screen (with no Pentile crap Moto pulls) bigger battery even though its a hit and miss on duration (pretty good for me), dedicated camera button, and Im also also loving 3D much more than I thought, its really cool and the center of the attention at work lol.

That said, 3G speeds SUCK!!! I hope HTC fixes this with a radio update. Also, with the 3VO you are garanteed timely updates for at least a year thanx to HTC and their flagship care
