Id consider one if it was a huge improvement over the original, but its truly not.
If they release the Evo Tab I'll pick one up, I dropped my Archos a couple weeks ago anyway.

I'm expecting an iPad2 for work sometime next week. I design accessories for it, so having a new one would certainly help in the design of those accessories
I watched the videos of the ipad 2, galaxy tab 10.1, and the xoom. I prefer android, so I will get that out of the way first. Watching ui transitions and video of the built in back camera, I was surprised to see that the ipad seemed smoother. I was looking for dropped frames and jerky movement from both video and ui.
I recently opened a netflix account and I am disappointed that there is nothing for android yet. I don't think that would be the only reason I might get a tablet but watching streaming or local movies and videos would definitely be things I would want to do.
I don't have the money to blow on those kind of toys right now, but it doesn't hurt to dream. Besides, the upcoming summer super phones are what I will be spending my money on. I miss the beautiful display from the epic. How about an super amoled tablet screen? Ohh ahh! Even though the colors aren't true like in real life, my eyes love that screen candy.

I thought that the reason the Nexus S didn't have Gorilla Glass was because it was curved. The concept was really amazing. I liked the obvious 3 screens, but being able to change the color of the lights at the edge, being able to swipe between screens, and being able to swipe between phones was pretty impressive.
I was also impressed with the video. It had a good message, plus, it looked like a real phone, I wouldn't be surprised if someone took this and thought it was an actual device.
Agreed, I really like it. Not too sure about the shape but it seems to work in a very functional and practical way.

I went in to check out the evo 3d at sprint and I was actually very surprised on how snappy and fast it was. Overall it was a great device and honestly I was about to get it. Though simply put I can't see myself without my nexus s. I had both the phones side by side and I kept looking from sense 3.0 to my nexus running cyanogen with gb launcher and really there was no contest there. Some people like sense but for me, seeing them side by side really showed how much superior aosp really is. I also ran a speed test and both phones had the same signal strength, both phones got around 1.2 down, though the evo did have a higher ping. I also checked out the 3d camera as well and I really hated it, gave me a head ache looking at for like 6 seconds. I really did not like the protruding cameras and the gimmicky 3d. As for the build quality it was top notch, compared next to my nexus it felt like it was more expensive than my nexus and the metal accents were nice. But honestly that doesn't matter to me because my black berry storm gen. 1 felt expensive as well but was a POS. Feel and weight of the phone isn't much of a factor to me because IMO I feel more comfortable dropping my nexus on concrete because it is lighter but I bet both of the phones would not last through a high drop. As for the look of the phone it was somewhat attractive but not really. I really enjoy the blacked out nexus with no carrier branding on it and the curve screen makes it really stand out compared to all the other phones. The evo 3d just felt like a brick, I totally loved the sensation's design, i wish htc would have sent sprint the sensation instead. All in all the evo is a great device and I totally think its an awesome phone, but to me owning a nexus s is something else. The whole concept of a nexus phone is just very cool, and I do enjoy the fact that I am the only person at my work that owns a nexus. I see like 7 - 10 people owning evos alone and that is quite a lot since apple is such a phenomenon where I live. I think the deciding factor to me was that it really didnt feel that much faster than my nexus and that the whole bootloader situation is really still up in the air. For me, I doubt I could last with sense for even a day. On a side note I'm totally excited its friday, but MIUI comes out with a new update, giggy, giggy
That was a really long post lol, I really was really thinking about the pros and cons of each phone for past month and hopefully it helps someone out.
I completely agree with everything you said. I love my nexus and could never give it up.

I just walked out of the sprint store. Played with the 3D for about a half hour. Very nice phone. But definitely gonna have issues. Battery life will be awful. And the screen is just weird to me. Takes my eyes a few seconds to adjust on 3D videos. Ill keep my nexus.

The qhd display really did look nice, but it simply did not come close to the nexus's s-amoled with voodoo settings. Though some people do complain over the over saturation and the "un-natural" colors of the amoled displays but to each their own.
Looks real nice, its nexus for me from now on....plus I got my tablet for for the heavy duty android stuff

I got my nexus to escape this crazy specs race. Here the new sweetheart is galaxy s2, and despite that is a great device, i'm not feel fine in get it, really like my nexus and whole nexus idea and probably will change it only for the new one, when it arrives, and it's good to be satisfeid with a device for almost a year! =oP
I have the EVO 3D on a spare line to give it a try... I want to like it, cause I've had really good luck with HTC products.
BUT, there's no WOW factor. If the 3D doesn't mess with your head, it's a cool little niche... but that's it.
The camera can't hold a candle to the NS4G, and obviously the screen lacks the vibrant colors that we have in the NS4G.
The only thing that I give a slight nod to on it, is the crispness of the fonts... which makes me wonder if LCD Density changer can be used on the NS4G???
The EVO will be going back to Sprint, so I can have the line open for the SGS2 that is supposed to be coming in 3rd quarter.
As someone who switched from using CM 7 (AOSP) on the Evo 4G to the Evo 3D, I can agree with pretty much everything you've said, except the part about the 3D. I know it's a gimmick, but taking artsy 3D pictures and video is just so goddamn awesome. I guess I'll probably get over it pretty quickly.
As for the phone itself, what amazes me is that it seems to equal or surpass my former CM 7 Evo in speed and snappiness while using Sense. Don't get me wrong, Sense is really no good, but it makes me very excited for the future when we get AOSP ROMs on the Evo 3D.
So, of course, part of what really keeps me interested in the device is the promise of AOSP in the future. If I didn't have that hope to cling to, I would probably be a little depressed to be stuck with Sense. It really is quite an amazing device, otherwise.
I completely agree with the op. I used to have the evo..sold it and bought the epic..had that for a while and sold it and now I bought the ns4g for 275 cash..I just can't warrant using my update on the evo 3d for now..the nexus is superior in a lot of aspects IMO. I love the weight or lack thereof the nexus has..beautiful screen, still fast processor and aosp is now my favorite ..I will keep an eye on the 3d forums and see what happens but I may wait for the next nexus phone..assuming sprint gets it right when it comes out

1. Sprint was going to get release the N1 before canceling. They say they cancelled because it'd compete with the EVO 4G but by guess it was because it would have came out before they could enforce they're upcoming $10 high end data fee.
2. Sprint and Google announce Google Voice integration. Only carrier who's done that.
3. Sprint and Google announce Google Wallet partnershop. Again, only carrier who's so far done it.
4. And of course, the Nexus S 4G.
Sprint doesn't have a history that suggests that they'd get it first (N1 would have came out after, and the NS4G of course got it after) but they're relationship now seems to be superior to any other carier anywhere else in the world. Time will tell but I have a feeling that the Sprint N3 will drop on day one.

wimax code was also merged with aosp...could be nothing though
I actually ordered the Evo 3D, got it in on Friday. Used it, didn't like the screen, I liked the qHD but the SLCD cannot satisfy me like the AMOLED screen. Fact is when I use my phone I look at the screen and I need to be happy with screen quality over certain specs. I went ahead and returned the Evo 3D and got on Craigslist.. found someone selling the Nexus and offered them 200. They accepted, I picked a brand new still in packaging and the stickers still intact for $200. I owned an Epic but I think this phone is much better in quality over the Epic
Just FYI. Wandered into Radio Shack in C.A. today and the dudes offered $165 for my Evo 4D on trade. That's way better than Best Buy and better than Sprint. $35 total for the 3D, plus tax.
And these days it is not easy to get much more than that for a used OG on Craigslist or Ebay. There are a million used ones available, and the prices have fallen.
My OG was rooted and they did not notice or care.

New customers only? I only have $75 upgrade right now. That's a hell of a deal!

I think I'm gonna hold on to my evo.,. Its not like I'm gonna be doing Auto cad on a phone anytime soon. The 1ghz processor is more than enough for what it needs to do. And personally the whole 3d feature is just silly. 3d's been around since the beginning of man kind, but we act like its the newest and baddest fad ever!

The technology might be new, but the idea is very old. And yes T'vs have changed dramatically, but 3d is pretty much the same. You still need those uncomfy 3d glasses to watch a movie.

I agree, I spent $68 on tickets for me, my wife, and 2 kids to see TF3 in "IMAX 3D". After the first few scenes the 3D broke so my left eye looked like it was shaded very dark for 15mins. They got that fixed but I certainly didn't experience any "stunning 3D effects".
I did get quite a headache before it was over. I can't say it was the 3D for sure but reading online I'm not the first to complain about this with IMAX 3D.
I wish they would sell the EVO 4G+ here, that's a nice device without the 3D stuff.
Hmmm ok outside the box here, but what about getting the shell of the Evo + and moving the internals of the 4g over to the Evo+.....I know things probably wouldn't line up right but worth a shot.

I tried 3D over the weekend and I don't want it. Only cool thing is 3D games, rest of the phone is same as mine (just cost more) since i have Kings 3D rom.
Actually, mine is even better since is rooted
Only phone that can make me change my mind is Samsung Galaxy S2
I don't care about 3d. I got it because it's more narrow than the original, and therefore easier to hold and use one handed. Also the screen is higher contrast and It's overall faster. So far, so good.

True and thanks for correcting that critical piece of information
Picked this phone up for the wife last night, finally converted her from her blackberry curve....yuck. Pretty good phone, screen obvoiusly not my epic but perfect for her. Very snappy, first thing i noticed was when you pull the notification menu down, there are no toggles there which i though sucks since im so used to it. havent tested out the camera yet, it is super thin, damn near just the size of our screens, so if you could take off the keyboard.
The back of the phone looks exactly like the leaked pictures of the "Epic Touch 4G" and it is a really nice addition, good grip, looks good, and wont scratch.
She is in love already, ill post up here after a couple days on the battery.
i thought it looked like a good little phone. as for the buttons on the top of the dock most of them are replicated with the power widget
I would like to add, Notification Toggle in the Market is a great app to add the switches in the pull down.
I wanted to check this phone out for my daighter, I bought her an LG Optimus S and she wants to upgrade. Thanks for the insight

Also, i wanted to make sure that she had a lesser of a screen for better juice, the girl is a facebook nut, and im sure will have a million things constantly updating, i already got yelled at for lowering her screen timeout to 30 seconds from a min.

I bought my gf a LG Optimus T. They have CM7 on there and the phone rocks with that done to it. It also gets great battery life with some custom kernel and OC. Might want to look into that before you upgrade her phone for her.

Sorry to bump this thread everyone since it's back from August.
SRobby -- Thanks for your review/comments about the Conquer 4G. I've been thinking about upgrading to this one as well, and right now Sprint is offering it for free online with a new 2-yr contract. Since I'm on a budget and can't really afford a snazzy top of the line upgrade, FREE is pretty attractive right now.
Any updates on the Conquer's performance after your wife has been using it for a few months? Has she been noticing any issues?
I can't stop drooling over this phone, it really is the best complete out the box android experience I've had. So what phones did you guys come from before you got this beast?

It would be only more perfect if it were the 4x Exynos but I'll take what I can get. It's a fantastic device all around. I haven't played with the One X so I can't say that it's the best ever, but it's certainly the best I've ever used which almost covers all of them. One of these days these devices aren't going to be loaded with any bloatware and I'll be tempted to not root it. They'll also all be updated all at the same time, and we'll all travel by way of unicorn.

Agreed. I had a GS1, and I have used a GS2, Gnote, and Gnex and they all feel the same. Like solid plastic. Maybe not tank like compared to HTC but they still feel good. This one does feel softer yes but that's due to the round corners, smooth back, and tapered screen. The back might seem a little more prone to scratches as it's smooth like the GS1 back covers whereas the GS2 and GNEX have textured rear covers. The good news is that replacements are cheap. It does feel light, but I think that's a good thing. My Bionic feels like a brick, but that doesn't trick my brain into thinking it's built better.
not a fan of the phone anymore. Ill probably sell it when the next big thing will be out.
Samsung messed up big time with the NA version:
No quad core
No Sony Cmos sensor
No Wolfson audio chip
Add to this, terrible build quality, the phone is extremely fragile and the Super amoled screen is not that great.

Has it been absolutely determined that the GS3 doesn't have the Wolfson DAC? I'm still coming across posts that say it does have it? One even referred to a very professional sounding news article stating all US version GS3's had the Wofson DAC?
Either way I really like this phone. I started my smartphones with a HTC TouchPro2 and ran MightyRom on it for a year. It was good, heck at the time I thought it was really good! Then jumped to the OG Epic4G. That jump in quality was amazing! Night and day the Epic was such a nice phone, I think it's what sold me on Sammy phones. The step up to the Epic Touch wasn't nearly as drastic, but still a nice improvement. Similar to the step to the GS3, not drastic, but a nice improvement in a few ways.
