Issues:

1. No root (at least one that sticks) I believe htc is the cause.

2. Only a 5 megapixel dual camera

3. I love my kickstand

4. lots of issues in this forum about it

5. may come out with a white on in a bit

I really want to get this phone, but only if I can make this beast of a phone the beast of a phone my Evo 4g is..

1. perm temp root is out it sticks fine. just not after reboot. but you can reroot. unlocker is coming sooner or later.
2. its 10mp dual camera. each is 5mp
3. htc has a case you can buy with a kick stand
4. issues are hit and miss both mine and my wifes are fantastic. mine ov to 1.8ghz
5. white shows dirty easier.
6. all your questions could of been answered if you use the search feature.

I really didn't have any questions about getting it. I played with it in the store and decided not to get it because the only things I could see with the phone is that it is not white, no kickstand, had a faster processor (prob sure for the need for handling the rom and 3d). My contract is up. I just didn't want to get a phone that imo only has a few differences. I'm not bashing the phone or the people that own the phone. Just not for me at this time. To each his/her own.

As I do respect your strong emotions about this phone, I do not agree with you at this moment. I just don't see myself using this phone like I use my EVO 1st gen. Only because I can't at the moment. I am also aware that MY feelings may change in the pretty near future. I'm am not here to stress a point or argue.

I just love white phones sorry.

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!

Your statement carries with it much merit.

wow first time seeing someone not want to get a phone because of its color (colorism?). I've seen it in the world of plush but not in the world of electronics.

No, not "colorism" just preference. There were other issues as well.

Regardless of the other issues, if this phone came in white you would have bought it already.

I went from my EVO 4G of 7 months to the 3D. It is totally a better phone. I agree with majority. All phone models suffer from buggy/problem batches. Mine has run great other than once or twice which reboot fixed. HTC kickstand case looks kick ass. When they can keep them in stick I will be getting one. Camera like others say, its a phone. I don't see any downgrade in pics I have taken.
