I like both phone, both has crazy specs, I have the evo now and love it. What I love about the evo is that there is so many roms to choose from. My main concern is which phone is easier to develop for and do you think Samsung development community would be as big as HTC development community. Not to mention that I love the cm roms and there roms is still in experimental stage for Samsung. I really answering my own question for the evo3d but that screen on the galaxy s2 is calling me.

I sold my EVO and bought an Epic back in December... big mistake for someone that likes to dev and tweak his phone. The Epic hardware is awesome, but the dev support is very lacking. Yeah, I could overclock my Epic and score 2400+ on Quadrant and it took great HD Video compared to the EVO. The screen was also beautiful. I traded the Epic for an EVO because I missed being able to dev. If you're the type of person that always wants to be on the cutting edge with the newest version of Android, then stay with what the DEVs are using (probably EVO3D). If you're someone that runs the same ROM for months at a time (i.e. not a flashaholic) then the Samsung S II may be best for you. It depends on what you're looking for and what you're looking to do with your phone.

Yup Evo 3D, even tho it might have lock bootloader like the thunderbolt, it will have more support from developers, and good ones too, virus is coming alone and myns wants too, I believe mik is coming and of course others

I wonder how long it will take them to crack the bootloader if it is indeed locked. I hope not too long. But its what ever. After running Virus' Kindom Port, ill be fine with stock un-rooted for a lil while
My only concern is developing for the EVO 3D as they have some new files that are going to be or may be difficult to work on. Only time will tell. I'm going to the EVO 3D because I love Sense and I can tell you right now the galaxy wont have that.
My favorite roms are myns for sense and cm7 for latest android roms. So I guess ill stay with HTC

I checked out both phones at Google IO. The galaxy S2 was so thin and the screen was amazing. Both phones were super snappy.
The only turnoffs for me on the galaxy s2 was the plasticky cover and the weight. Anyone who's owned a Samsung phone knows what i'm talking about with the plasticky feeling phones. But the weight of the S2 blew me away. I can't remember a lighter smartphone. It felt like a toy. It was basically "too light." I'm sure for many, that phrase doesn't even make sense, but for me, I like phones that feel solid and have some substance to them. For some, when they throw this phone in their pocket, they won't even know its there.
I have to hand it to Samsung though. The S2 is an impressive engineering accomplishment. Its the highest performance phone I've seen announced, and its so damn thin and light.
I'm personally a fan of sense, or at least having the option of sense, and I doubt that would ever fully translate to a Samsung product no matter what developers are working on it.
I really love the slab form of the GSII, if they release a HTC slab phone (like the Sensation) on Sprint, that would really be the phone I'd want. Evo 2?
HTC has better radios and gps, Samsung sucks!
the s2 does seem intriguing...also i hate that instead of hdmi out, the use usb and then give you a converter cable w/ an additional power source on it. plus, for some unknown reason, it seems we could be waiting a while before it actually hits the market in the states for some reason eventhough it is already in europe (gsm version). also, i hopped on to the evo 3d thread a while ago and the dev's were introducing themselves...there were LOADS of great dev's coming on board. With the specs and dev's on board, the 3d will have some spectacular features!
I am intrigued by the GS2 and the new version of Touchwiz... I HATE HATE HATE touchwiz, but the new version looks ok so far.
One thing that will keep me from considering the GS2 is if it has a physical keyboard. I don't know why Sprint has to be the one that gets that...
I'm going with the EVO 3D. The specs look awesome.

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.

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.

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.

I say the Within.
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.
Question does the dual core in a cell phone work like a pc meaning a 1.5 ghz dual core when using both cores its actually a 3 ghz phone? Yeah?

I'm going for GSII. I don't trust htc unlocking the bootloader. Besides gsii has better specs anyways. I think with all the crap from htc more developers will get the GSII than most people think.

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.

It's been rumored that they started doing this when the EVO 3D was announced.
I am debating getting the Samsung Within (Galaxy S2) when it's released and would like to hear your thoughts on it. I have not been a big fan of the Samsung devices in the past but I am intrigued by this one.

I agree with you on that one. I think its more about being sure you get the right phone to have for the next 22 months. It's like getting married, you don't wanna make the wrong choice cause its gonna be a while. My biggest concern is data reception. My friend got a nexus s and couldn't connect to 4g when I had 2 bars of 4g standing right next to him. Also, all of the samoled screens I've seen have a color tint to them so I don't know if samoled+ will be any different.
I'm wondering about the tinted screen myself. I hadn't heard about the 4g issue. I always research my future phones but sometimes you just don't know about it till you get it.

Well I've had one samsung phone, and it was beast, it was the 'smart phone' of its day before smart phones as we know rule the playground. Never had a bad experience, and this one has the hardware to match the software; as I recall [could be wrong] samsung wasn't going to lock the bootloader so it should be rooted, potentialy quickly, and as that phone has the hardware, I believe it'll have more support than the notorious Epic. Also have a samsung 32" LED TV, amazing quality, and I think this phone is worth picking up, and if you don't like it, return it within the 30 days.

I'm waiting go see if the whole subpixel thing actually improves the quality up to qhd like they claim.

A no gimmick beast of a phone is definitely something I can deal with until the next upgrade comes up. Worst case scenario, if I go past the 30 days and decide I want the 3d, I'll just order a 3d when the wife isn't lookin and tell her I bought it cheap off a coworker.

It's all about how you close the deal. My wife has a crap hero (no offense to hero owners, hers just sucks). So I told her I would go through asurion for a new evo since mine has some water damage, then I would let her have it after I upgrade to the 3d or galaxy s2. That way she could have a brand new evo until her upgrade comes in November. Not only is she bugging me to upgrade, but she thinks I'm a genius. Marriage, at times, is all about negotiation. As far as the hardware keyboard, I miss my touch pro 2 keyboard. I don't mind the thickness of the phone, and it made texting a bit easier sometimes. Also, remapping keys for shortcuts was a bonus too.

I'm trying to decide between the HTC Evo 3D and the Samsung Within which is Sprint's version of the Galaxy S2. I figure Epic users would have some good insight on how the Within might turn out.
The one big knock on the Galaxy S2 I keep hearing is Samsung's lack of support and updates when compared to HTC.
Is this something that has really been problematic for Epic owners and do you think it will be a big issue with the Within?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
There are a couple threads on this question, so a quick search will bring up several lengthy discussion to help with your choice
For the most part, I would say go with the S2
IMO, the hardware specs are a lot better, but the main reason, the one that trumps all others, at least at this time IMO, is the locked bootloader on the EVO 3D that blocks advanced modding of the phone
This is supposd to change, but until it does, you should stay away from the EVO 3D
Here are links to help
The GS2 stomps all over the Evo 3D. I saw one at the Sprint store and I was not impressed.
S2. Plus its completely unlocked.

Photon is a good choice too. I'd probably pick the GS2 tho. Better Processor, Better Screen, unlocked bootloader. No crappy 3d, which I know you don't have to use it but still. 3d is horrible. It reminds me of those 3d greeting cards with the weird plastic.

There were some articles floating around today saying the US GS2 devices may not even come at this point or could be heavily delayed. Lack of carrier interest based on other competitive devices or something like that.

Yeah, it seems crazy to me... I'll dig up links, running around the office at the moment.
It was something about when the GS1 came out there was significantly less competition on that level but now everyone and their Mom has that level of phone out or coming out and Samsung sucks for CDMA.
Obviously that's not my opinion and I am paraphrasing, lol.
Here's one: http://androidcommunity.com/samsung...h-delay-down-to-carrier-disinterest-20110708/
I'd buy the Within simply for the fact that it has either 16 or 32gb of built in storage plus the micro SD support of up to 32gb. 64 potential gigs of storage is pretty insane

No, shame on you for asking.

Well, hopefully the whole, “negotiations with American telecom companies have dragged on” part won't drag on for too much longer. But I think if negotiations are still up in the air it doesn't look good for a summer release.
Most reports I have seen, at least for the Within, still peg the release at late July.
Considering the S2 is set to be the most popular smart phone EVER, I find the rumor of phone company disinterest hard to buy into, rumor or no rumor.
But gotta admit, only time will tell.

I certainly hope it's all BS. I am itching for something new.
Let's hope sprint doesn't gimp the s2 the way it did the epic just to make the evo's look good :/
