Should i upgrade to evo 3d or wait tll 2012 for something better.
Ok so my upgrade isnt availible until 2012, but i was thinking about getting the evo 3d, but then again, next year theres probably gonna be a device with tegra 3 quad core, qhd,1gb ram,4.5" screen, sense 3.5. so im stuck between evo 3d or evo 4(or some other name).
There will always be a new device. After tegra 3 it will be something else. I am waiting on my upgrade for a little bit.

It's really a question only you can answer. If the Evo 3D represents enough of an upgrade to you to warrant paying full price, and if you have the means to do so, you should do it. If not, you shouldn't.
Since we haven't seen the Evo 3D yet and don't yet know just how much better it really is than what we have, that makes the question premature as well. My hunch is it will be quite significantly better. I could certainly see myself choosing to pay full price to get either the Evo 3D or another dual core phone this year, but I'll want to see the reviews, see them firsthand, etc. But like I said, that's my feeling. Only you can answer what you should do.
I can totally see upgrading to the 3rd evo Nothing wrong with this phone but I would like a little less lay for when I play on it.

thank you, i think ill stick with my evo for awhile. Ill wait to see what 2012 brings me.
Id go for it, but its all riding on the bootloader right now.
Just wait it out for the bootloader. Plus at the rate of tech these days, 2012 we'll have the Evo 4D with 6G Wimax lol

I want to upgrade to the Evo 3d, but probably won't have the money so ill probably wait for the next big phone when my upgrade comes.
I would wait. Nvidia is showcasing the tegra quad core and is supposed to have devices launching with it either near end of this year or beginning of next. So yeah i would wait cuz i believe after quad core comes out for phones hardware advances will stall or plateau. Then it will be all about the software and not what phone has what hardware
Edit: just looked at the initial benchmarks and the tegra quad core blows away the competition easily and even some LAPTOPS. Its not even final and still being worked on this is gonna be a beast
No point in waiting unless it takes until the end of summer to see the 3D.
New technology always comes out.
If you're gonna wait on that merit you might as well never buy.
You can always sell the damned thing if you find something else you want.

Ill definitely be skipping this round, as of right now I have no real need for 3D seeing as I dont even have a 3D tv to output content too. Also with the Kal-El processor chip set to launch q4 there really wont be a long wait till you find it packed in the next round of phones.
I pre-ordered the 3D, I can honestly care less about the 3D portion as I'll never enable it. Being able to upgrade less than a year after I signed my contract is why I will go ahead and upgrade to the 3D.
Getting bored with the EVO 4G right now, always wanting something new, so the 3D will hold me over until their next good phone comes out and I'll upgrade again.
If waiting for an upgrade is an issue I suggest reading the 1st post of this thread. It has worked for a ton of people including me.

Looks pretty iPhone 3ish, but no buttons is pretty sweet looking and would make sense because 2.4/Ice Cream is supposed to smash all of the Androids together/into one OS, right?
Oh decisions, decisions. Looks pretty sick. And if it is made by HTC, I might have to save up for this one.

In some ways, I'm glad my upgrade isn't until January....
I wouldn't look into the design too much either. It's way too early and is probably just a test device they quickly put together to test/develop on honeycombs new form factor.
as the other nexus...
most likely in January/February time frame
Sweet, it'll be for Sprint as well. My upgrade is in April 2012 so I'll wait till Nexus 3 comes out so I can get that. Tegra 3 quad core Ice Cream Sandwich. Going to be awesome.

Sprint did announce a Nexus One. They just canceled it. Plus Sprint and Google now share what is probably the tightest cooperation out of any carrier so a Sprint Nexus 3 on launch day is very likely now.

People like to stick to HTC but HTC has had a lot of problems too. I own a N1 and the touch screen sucks, build quality looks nice on the outside but almost always has issues like light bleeding (EVO), and they are known to stick with old chipsets (like slightly updating the same 2008 Scorpion core for their dual cores).
I personally would like to see a Moto Nexus. They do a good job with hardware.
Im sure its just a prototype but that is one ugly phone. I wouldnt buy it off looks already....
Yeah, I'm usually not a big fan of chrome / silver anything ... as a test device I wouldn't be surprised to see it change. Maybe if we complain enough we can ensure a chrome edging doesn't make the final cut.
I will definitely be sitting on my Evo, waiting and waiting and waiting.

I can't get the evo 3D anyways just used my girl's upgrade and she got the nexus s; my upgrade isn't until August so I'm thinking galaxy s 2 maybe. She'd kill me if I spent 599 on a phone when my upgrade is a few months away lol. You guys think by August sprint will launch another device? I'm not into the whole design and 3D gimmick stuff anyways.
Sweet! I would be stoked if the nexus 3 is made by HTC. The nexus s is great and all but Samsung's continuing radio issues make their phones less desirable to own. I'll take a little light leak over a shotty radio any day. May have to sell my 3d for this one.

Hmm, even with the news of the Atrix-like device coming to Sprint I have even less reason to just jump on a phone. For a second there I was gonna pull the trigger on the NS but I'm glad I didn't. I had seen word of that possibly dropping mid summer, but I'm pretty sure that was just rumor. That GS2 - should it come through - is a tempting one. Haven't heard anything on possible / rumored date of landing, but I haven't done a good job of keeping up with everything, either.
I'm just gonna play the waiting game. Something I'm usually not good with, but I've done well enough with putting off a tablet purchase. And totally agree on the Evo 3D - not sure how I feel about it. Especially if some other more than capable device comes to Sprint.

At the moment, the evo 3d has a locked boot loader, I know that people are trying to change that though. The samsung has twice the memory for apps(2GB), and 32GB of internal storage. Look for a side by side comparisson, that is what got me to switch from the evo 3d to the gs2.

HTC said it will be unlocked ... and i just got an email from sprint advertising the E3D so its coming SOON !!! .... 24th to be exact its OFFICIAL!!!
but honestly they are both great phones either way you wont be disappointed the choice for me was easy this time Evo has and amazing community also its not Samsuck its HTC and HTC=OMGEWQTHGDSHTRSYGDF
Galaxy S II
- Better hardware
- Comes with 2.3
- No 3D (pro for me)
Both have manufactures crappy UI so not part of my opinion
I am wondering the same... I just got my epic a month ago but was already looking into getting the evo 3d... all this jibber jabber back and forth about the sgs2 and 3d has got me all confused now lol. So I don't know which one I will be getting. I've always loved htc though!
I got that same email this morning but thought it was just another one of those emails that just said coming soon. So the 24th is official huh?
EDIT: I just checked out that email and the evo 3d will definitely be mine. $199 with instant savings, no MIR, where do I preorder? I know these are going to sale out

But after buying the Epic coming from a Hero...
I've realized what i like in a phone now i thought i would like a keyboard... but i rarely use it.
I thought sprint would have put alot more into this phone ...because of the Specs but they honestly didn't IMO. So im going to the E3D .... Even though i will miss this community like crazy these people are mad cool.
but 1.5GHz Dual-core, 2.3, official CM support.... and it's HTC can't deny build quality.
I don't see sprint releasing anything else so this has to be it.

No. They share the workload, rather than a single core constantly being mated out.
HTC EVO 3D will have a lot more development for it (EVO 4G has like 20+ roms, whereas the Epic has about 8, in total).
I also tend to think HTC have better radios (signal wise).
I'll wait until the GS3 or whatever is out when my 2 year contact is up or my epic runs into something it can't run which I really want. If I had to pick between the two, I'd grab the GS2.

If you had neither phone, the answer would likely be easy: get the Evo (even if it were simply the Evo 4G -- and not the 3D -- we were talking about it would be the better choice given the heavy handful of unnecessary complications the Epic 4G comes along with like GPS, accelerometer quirkiness and lagging CM support [not to mention lagging manufacturer support]).
Given that you actually already have an Epic 4G, the answer is a little tougher. It would be easy to say: "Try and stick it out for now. The Epic's a decent phone. Load up some lean, optimized ROM's and it may satisfy you for quite a time longer."
Sure that would be easy for me to say, but it also comes from the view of subsidized phone buyer that isn't used to giving $200 and not receiving a top-2 tier phone. But wait, what are we talking about?? "they both are about the same spec wise" is way FALSE...
The Evo 3D is a top-2 phone on the Sprint network (it should have twice the potential processing power of the Epic 4G, does have twice the RAM [which, btw, I would expect to be the solution for the majority of any slowdowns you may be experiencing with your Epic], and if we are to continue to distinguish their specs... it also has 35% more screen real-estate, resolution-wise [if that matters to ya]). If you can indeed buy it contract-less for the same price everyone else typically pays for a top-tier-er on-contract: just buy the darned thing.
Disclaimer: I have never used, nor completely read any reviews on, and do not explicitly 'follow' the happenings of the Evo 3D. The above recommendations are based on solid common sense, but should not be confused to include personal experience with the device.
I own both and I have to say that the epic is WAY faster even when the evo is on an AOSP rom. Also, the epic screen is way better...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Keep the epic. By the way, why would you want an Evo 3D? The hardware is almost dated by now, and it'll definitely be out-of-date in the coming months with quad-core. Also, if you've played with the Epic 4G touch, then it'll blow you away. It is way smoother than the Evo 3D, and the battery life is much better. The Evo 3D's battery isn't awful, but with medium usage, you'll barely survive a day.
If you're looking toward a new phone, wait a bit for quad-core. Dual core is gonna be left in the dust once quad-core comes out, and it's not that far away. Note that quad-core will greatly improve battery life, performance, and more since ICS has hardware acceleration optimized for it.
That being said, I wouldn't get a Galaxy Nexus either. Nexus phones are great, but that's only because they release the latest & greatest android version. To be honest, the galaxy nexus doesn't even stand a chance against the GS2, but it definitely kills an Evo 3D.
Hope this opened your choices up a bit, rather than to focus on an almost 6-month old phone
Keyboard is a double edged sword. I got the epic for my wife and I because she wanted a keyboard and this would be my first android phone so I wanted us to have the same. The keyboard itself is great as far as keyboards go but moving parts always break eventually. The evo would last much longer than the epic I am sure. If you get new phones regularly its no big deal but if you stick with one for a long time the candy bar format sans keyboard would be the most reliable.

I've been using the Epic since February, bought it because of the beautiful screen. I don't think I've used the slide out keyboard more than 3 times. It was nice to know I had it if I needed it but I'm now convinced I can do without one.
Eepppiiiiccccc!!!!!!!!!!! The evo sucks
Battery is terribleee
And its slower than this
And it doesn't have a cool widget button set in the notifications
And doesn't have a beautiful clear screen like this phone lol
And nooooo keyboardd so touch can get annoying sometimes especially when sometimes u get a drop of water on the screen (which winter is coming so be expecting a lot of rain) and in the cold the touch won't respond to ur frozen fingers lol
That's just what I think and I can give u a lot more reasons if u want
Like rooting the epic and having cwm and roms is easier on epic and u won't have all the amazing devs that u will have over here lol
This is all just my opinions

Are you happy with your phone still? Are you waiting for possibly a new LTE phone in 2012? Or just waiting on your upgrade?
Just curious to see what others thinking about their phone. My phone still works great, but being the geek I am. I'm itching for something new. The E4GT looks like a sweet phone, and supposedly there's a fix for the LOS that developers got their hands on.
Waiting for something that would be a real upgrade, so far I've been very happy with my evo, thanks to the devs here. Until sprint releases a LTE device that's killer spec wise, & has some decent development going on, I'll stay with my OG. I've had my evo since it came out, and its totally because the devs here keep my evo fresh & interesting.

Yeah my EVO is running strong still, and with the development of ICS. Maybe that'll hold me over? I can't say that if I saw another great deal on an ET4G that I won't pass it up lol. Just have to wait and see.... I wish we had an idea of phones for 2012 and estimates on release dates.

They already said the the first LTE phones wouldn't be out until around june / july. Though they will begin the towers in early 2012.
1. waiting for sense 2.1 = Got it
2. waiting for sense 3.0 = Got it
3. waiting for sense 3.5 = Got it
I guess I'm waiting for my contract to be up. Then I will consider something new, but I see no need right now for what I use the phone for. The next best thing isn't always the best IMO...

Waiting for something that would be a real upgrade, so far I've been very happy with my evo, thanks to the devs here. Until sprint releases a LTE device that's killer spec wise, & has some decent development going on, I'll stay with my OG. I've had my evo since it came out, and its totally because the devs here keep my evo fresh & interesting.

My upgrade isn't until August 2012. There should be a bunch of new phones released between now and then. The Galaxy Nexus and HTC Edge or other new quad core phones look intriguing, Iphone 5 (probably not I like the personalization options Android has). As long as we get an ICS rom it will feel like we're running the latest phone though, at least for now.
my upgrade isn't until March, so I'm sure a lot of new phones will be out by then. But if I had to pick right now, I'd either get the GS2 or leave Sprint for the Galaxy Nexus
i cant decideeeee, i dont know if i should get iphone or wait for early 2012 to upgrade
i do want GN not sure if sprint will take their time like they did with Nexus S
for now will keep the EVO going since we have great Devs... and recently swtiched prl to verizon and its working great/better so not sure why switch anyway
time will tell

My contract won't expire for about a year and my evo is still running nicely.
I will likely dabble with iOS and Win7 to test the waters once my evo is done for.

I would like another htc phone. Quad core, lots of internal storage and 64 gb card compatible(hopefully ). Some phones due out next year look pretty nice
We're comin from a pure power source.
I need to switch to verizon because I work in places where sprint's 3g service is junk, so as soon as the nexus is released, i'm gone.
An LTE phone (due next year). A quad core phone. Something with just a little more internal storage.

A real EVO 2 upgrade. Contract already up. But nothing so far surpasses EVO in pure beastly awesomeness!

I am happy with the photon as an upgrade. But rom dev is not as vast as the evo. Wife still has hers though so I get play both fields.

Honestly, it's going to take an awful lot for me to upgrade. There isn't really anything I want to do with a phone that I can't already do with my Evo.
Hardware Acceleration is going to make ICS run really well (even on older hardware), and I expect that the specs in the Evo will allow it to continue on just like a modern phone. Bluetooth, front-facing camera, etc. will continue to make it a contender.
I will be sticking with mine (not counting an accident) for at least another generation until Nexus Next is available, and then consider based on hardware and Android J+.
I would maybe go for that Nexus S (sexy thang). However, there aren't any phones offering me my Death Ray flashlight and kickstand, so...the Evo stays.
I do have 2 bright spots on my screen though, which is annoying.
Im due for upgrade on 2 evos around February. The only thing I really like is the samsung s2..
That phone will probably be 99 but the time end of Feb comes around..
Who knows though, I may just hang tight without a contract..
Waiting for my contract to end. Hopefully network will be working better by then.
