As much as it pains me to say, I'll be waiting for the 3rd iteration of the flagship Evo. Hopefully the 3D faze will be over by then.

You want to wait for the 3rd version of the Evo because you're hoping it has no 3D?
You do know you can just turn it off.
That's like wanting to skip the next EVO because you don't like the stock wallpaper, and are to lazy to change it, but would rather wait for the next EVO hoping it has a different stock wallpaper.

Hopefully we will get the all the features from the EVO 3D onto our EVOs. I'm really liking Sense 3.0. Not really one to care about the 3D since it only works for pictures, videos and a minimal games but the benchmarks are actually making me want to buy this phone off-contract.

I'm going to strongly recommend that you actually learn WHERE the difference [3D] is and the fact that you turn it off before you run your mouth.

It looks like this gpu is faster than the one used in Tegra 2 and TI's OMAP4 series (used in LG's 3D phone). It's good to see Qualcomm stepping up their game on the gpu front.

I'm getting it for the higher resolution screenand the better CPU/GPU, and the newer Sense UI. The 3D is just a bonus which we'll see how well it works and/or how much I use it. However, the 3D capabilities is not the reason I'm getting it. Plus, I get yearly upgrades, so why the hell not?

Exactly! Was planning on switching to sprint in jan. This is just in time. Just what I wanted. I do not want a behemoth to carry arround. My nexus one with 3.7 screen is perfect size. All I missed was a slide out keyboard and front facing cam.
One other thing I like to consider though. Which will be more likely to have future OS versions ported? I dont bother on relying on sprint/samsung/htc for updates. I am asking about difficulty for devs. A big reason I was considering the epic is that the nexus s came out running the same platform, which made me think porting new OS releases would relatively easy. Is the shift likely to get new releases faster since it is an HTC product? I know it is impossible to know anything but what are your guy's thoughts on this right now?

Err, not sure if this is sarcasm, as beyond exaggeration it is false. You imply the shift has a slower CPU. Dont count mhz. The second gen snapdragon in the shift will certainly outperform the evo without question and with 45nm tech get better batt life to boot. I agree the Evo is not sluggish though. Which means the shift will be even better. Maybe you just need to ditch sense?
As for screen size that is not a downgrade. It is user preference. I like a nice compact device, not a brick.
Same thing with keyboard. I like getting real work done on my handset. KB is very effective.
If you already know this and were joking I apologize . If you were serious you should really rethink your position and recognize that different things suit different people (the CPU issue however is clear cut that the shift is superior).
Cheers!
Those of you who do decide to buy the Shift might be disappointed come June when the true successor to the Evolution drops.

Honestly, if your EVO is that bad then you either have a bad device, or you've done something horribly wrong, in which case.. you shouldn't worry about owning a smartphone.. stick to the flips.

Probably not. It is an industry first, but it's also pretty much just a gimmick, like 3D. I would have been much more interested in a dual core phone, or even an Evo with an updated processor.
I can see how it would be good for mulittasking...if it had the power of a dual core processor...but the specs are very underwhelming, and the battery life is going to be horrible.
Its not that bad a phone but sprint did themselves a great disservice by hyping it up so much. People where expecting something huge and instead got a phone.

Yes. Yes you are.
The issue is that it "may" be a good phone once some people get their hands on it and play with it.
But you cannot deny the overwhelming negative response (see their facebook page) as a pretty big sign that it may not be a good phone.
If you look at it from a sales/marketing POV they would much rather have a phone that everyone thinks looks really cool at a press release, but then falls a little short of expectation in the real world. At least they sell some phones, and the high initial praise helps sustain the life of the phone.
Now look at this situation, especially in this economy, 99% of the initial response is bordering "verbal lynch mob", even if it a good phone, how many people will actually give it a chance?
First impressions can kill...........
It's an interesting concept, I'll give them that, but it's made by Kyocera, looks like a brick and not a lot of developers will go out of their way to make use of both screens.

I've seen almost nothing on the phone, but I agree. The hype was the worst of it.
I recall saying something similar would be great. I dropped the thought when tablets came.
EDIT-saw the video. WTF? Now I know why people said brick. I no longer have any interest even in passing.
The biggest issue is that from what i understand, its a basic Android. Phone with a 2nd gen snap dragon running 2 screens. Won't that hurt performance?

Actually its the second gen check out engadget fire more proof...i don't feel like providing it.
. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging.

I'm pretty sure we're going to get all of that, but adding 3d is just something to help differentiate and spice up the EVO...I suppose.
I really don't see a practical use for it, but we never know. I remember when cameras were first introduced to' cell phones and a lot of people didn't see the practicality, but now look at how big they've become.
I'm sure we'll find something useful for 3d, assuming it works well.

If it is something that is forced on you without the ability to turn it off.. then it may not be as appealing to me at all.

I'm surprised they didn't do the same on the bottom, and use the slogan, 'Motorola Photon, on the cutting edge of smart phones!' -pew pew-
But really, it looks awkward, and might 'potentially' have awkward use in landscape mode if you have small hands cuz the corners may not sit right.

The specs seem great on paper, but they're easily matched or beaten by the EVO 3D.
It's running 2.2 as opposed to the EVO 3D's 2.3.3
Pentile display versus the 'true' Qhd resolution of the EVO 3D.
The Tegra 2 GPU really isn't all it's cracked up to be, the Adreno 220 easily matches and bests it in some ways.
Also the form factor, as you mentioned, is pretty bad imo.

Saw an LG 3D today..

Oh man... Much as I like the old galaxy s2.. This 3D LG is serious... Played nova in 3D..
It is incredible.. Anyone else tempted to ditch the sammy for a 3D phone?

old S2? lol... To be honest I think that 3D is a fad and another way to make us part with our hard earned gadget money.
I admit I am curious to see one in real life but won't be giving up my S2 anytime soon.
I am getting a LG 3D but won't get rid of the GS2, to be fair I saw a video on youtube a chap had took that has one and the 1080p was as good as this but had faster auto focus, there was also a 3D 720p video but you obviously need the 3d stuff to see that properly.
I played with one of the 3D phones over the weekend and I started to get a headache when looking at the screen after a while. I'm going to give the 3d thing a miss.
No way....dont like 3D and i dont trust LG.
just look at 2x .

in a few months you will easily be able to get 3D on the beloved SGS2 with this new technology

Same for me. I didn't like playing with Nintendo 3Ds and also when watching 3D movies my eyes don't like it at all.
So yeah, going to skip 3D until they implement it properly.
Maybe after 3 years might get it.

Don;t you know this section is for samsung fanboys only?
Seriously, was at the us over the weekend and played the HTC EVO 3D for a while. I have to admit it was awesome, the quality of the 3d pics and video it took is really good. The 3D gaming is brilliant too.
Didn't see the LG one tho so can't say much but am totally dig the whole 3D thingy.

3D doesnt do it for me, and from what iv read neither does LG!
Love my samsung. Even if they do release a new samsung (which they wont) by the end of this year, the developers wont jump ship when they just purchased the SGS2. I go where developers go

A bunch of us came from the G2X/O2X. After six months, LG can't fix the firmware and/or release a 2.3.X update. Devs found interesting things in their code. Debugging was left enabled, there's comments relating to "demo code," drivers were poorly written and some incomplete. And the G2X/O2X really aren't that advanced hardware wise other than having a dual-core SoC and HDMI. If they can't get a somewhat basic phone correct, why would you have any faith in them developing a 3D phone? Check out the O2X, G2X, and Revolution forums. LG should stick to TVs and washers and dryers. After my G2X experience I would use two cans and a string before I'd ever own another LG phone.

That's the thing though, I can watch 3D movies in the cinema and 3D TV just fine it's just the phone that was uncomfortable for me.
See below, lol
It does nothing better than the SGSII.... The SGSII does everything better than anything at the moment. I'm serious as hell and definitely not a fanboi, just stating fact.
Operative words here are, Nothing Better!
