Anyone else giving serious thought to moving to the Evo 3D from the Epic? I am. I know the bootloader is encrypted and that there is no guarantee that it will be unlocked but I just went to the Sprint store and played around with one for a few minutes.
What I noticed was that the screen was not nearly as washed out as the Evo 4G. I also liked how incredibly smooth the screen transition effects were. I've always liked sense but I also like TW3 and TW4.
So the one thing that really caught me off guard was the 3D pictures and movies. I was a little shocked at how cool they looked. I totally thought it was going to look like crap and that the 3D would be a feature I would never use. WRONG! I would probably use it all the time.
No, I've heard the 3D is pretty much rubbish. I'm sold on the Within which'll be released in about a month's time. A far superior phone imho.
what is the Within?
Edit: ah its the galaxy s2. That phone is the best smartphone made to date.

Sounds like your trying to convince yourself. I played with it a couple days ago and the screen definitely is no Samsung screen. I think i'll wait for the Within or something else down the road. Great specs and speed on the phone though.
I got it for my wife as a replacement for her epic. She loves it... And I must admit the phone is pretty darn good... Is smooth and responsive... I'm still holding on my epic for now...

The Evo 3d will be unlocked. It has been confirmed. Everyone just wants to be little cry baby's about it not being unlocked right now. + everyone in the Epic forums are sour about the Evo 3d for some reason. Not sure why.

Because they don't get to bash it for having a weaker GPU like they did with the Evo 4G.
I had and evo 4g it is agreat phone , also had the nexus s and now the epic they all hav e there ups and down I do want a gs2 phone tho if it is slim as the european version I'm definetely gettin it, my upgrade is do in december (maybe I get the nexus 3 if avaiable for sprint) so will see what's out then I was gonna get and evo 3d but qhd doesn't convince maybe it would if ithad sper amoled screen that's one of the reason I like the epic and the nexus, evo screen suck compare to my iphone 3gs, but for now the epic is doing good I hope gingerbread is out soon for epic

Anyone who does want this piece of s**t of a phone anymore is thinking about the 3D. I'd switch in a heartbeat if my upgrade was available. I can't wait to switch to a different phone and probably a different carrier so I can smash this Samsung piece of s**t to pieces with a hammer.

the gpu is a single gpu.. thats all, no tom foolery its not a quadcore gpu with a dual core cpu..
as you can see from the chart.. the nexus s gets 20.9 fps, to get the same performance of an evo3d on this test (bear in mind this is a graphics/gpu test so cpu does have a small part to play in it but not as much) i could overclock my nexus s 4g to 1.4ghz and stomp the stock evo3d...
now why does this matter? you are taking a 1ghz single core, doubling the cores and adding a 20% boost to clock speed to get this kind of.. "performance" boost... now just to be fair ill post the scores of the pro version
now we can get to the good stuff sure the htc evo3d is now on the top, congrats hurrah! please refer back to number 1. you are talking about a cpu that has 220% performance boost, a brand new gpu.... and you get a increase in 11.5 frames per second. now sure when it gets hacked.. and if it can do overclocking im sure it will further push those specs... but from where im standing right now the evo3d is a bit of a joke. ill hold out for the nexus 3 or the sprint within... kthxbai
also as a side note i think its funny how a tegra 2 phone like the atrix takes a 9 fps hit compared to the stock android lg g2x, clearly motoblur is for the best
I was all excited about dual core phones till my roomie got an atrix. Android just isn't ready for it yet. Aside from benchmarks you can't really feel a difference.
Unless I see a massive change before my upgrade (in November), I'll hold out until the new phones are announced at CES and the other shows in the early spring. I'm hoping for a phone that is better than qHD (a la retina display).

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.

Haha, classic definition of user error right here.
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.
Just wanted to see what everybody was going to get after owning their Epic, if y'all ever do want to leave it. I know many people absolutely hate Samsung after owning the Epic, but I still think they make great phones minus the plastic they use. So what will y'all be getting next, or will you just jump ship on Sprint all together?
But on topic I will most likely be going to the Nexus S, just because it's a Google phone, that or stay with my Epic. But if the Evo 3d is really 3d I might not get it. Not really wanting that feature. Actually really confused on what to get ha
From My Command Center... (aka basement)
I don't see a reason not to get a phone just because it has a feature you don't need, just disable it...
But IF the Evo 3D turns out to be the Optimus 3D with the OMAP 4430 then that is what I will get, otherwise I'll hold out for a phone with the OMAP.
I'm going back to AMPS

I'm swinging towards getting a Nexus S too as soon as it drops... I can't stand some aspects of this epic
I know ALOT of people say the Nexus S is basically another Galaxy S phone, but most Nexus S owners say its a completly different phone. So I think I'm going to get the Nexus S and test it out and see how it performs against the Epic, and go from there.
I'll know in October 2012. I may not even want a smartphone at all.
Not a Samsung for sure. To be honest, I really thought that the Epic was the best of the Galaxy S phones. And with all the hype and advertising money behind it I thought for sure a ton of devs would get an Epic. Well that hasn't really happened.

Well the internals are the same.... but it's a whole different approach to the OS and hardware.
It doesn't have Gorilla Glass, doesn't have an SDcard slot, and it doesn't have some of the other tell-tale signs of SGS hardware.
It's actually most like our epic though than other US SGS phones. It at least has a flash and a FFC (If you use it.... I find it a useless feature on my epic, purely useless). It doesn't have the keyboard, which is actually 100% a benefit for me. I hate how my Epic feels and I know I'm not alone in saying that my epic has a loose screen because of the sliding mechanism.
Honestly the way I see it is that the Nexus S is a slightly different version of our phone, with a little bit more durability because of the lack of keyboard and a lot more longevity because it's a direct from Google supported phone. That's the real kicker for me... I've spent hours trying to make my phone less like an SGS and more like a normal Android phone. I'm running a rom without a trace of TouchWiz, I have had launcher pro installed since the very first day I got it. I have a Gingerbread theme to make it feel less Samsung based and more AOSP-ish.... I don't want a single thing that's related to Samsung that isn't direct AOSP. That's why I think the Nexus S will be perfect for me.
Oh and did I mention AOSP and no keyboard?
Whatever I buy it will have a PowerVRSGX54x graphics chip. Has anyone seen the benchmarks from the iPad2? Holy ****. Yea, I will be staying away from any Tegra 2 device, what a bust that was. I mean completely outclassed within 2 weeks of launching on a mass market tablet. Ridiculous.
Just for those wondering, our epic is basically an iPad. Almost identical hardware. So I will be looking for a phone with hardware similar to the iPad2, or the true sequal to our Epic4g.

Well, looks like we got some leaked specs of the Evo 3D, sounds good to me so far.
•4.3-inch 3D qHD capacitive 960 x 540 px display
•1730 mAh battery
•4GB internal memory with 8 GB SD card, expandable to 32 GB
•1 GB RAM
•1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU
•Android 2.3
•Dual 5 MP rear cameras (3D)
•1.3 MP Front camera
•records 2D @ 1080p, 3D @ 720p
•Dimensions = 5.0 x 2.6 x .48 inches
•DNLA support and HDMI port

Ya, I'd sell this phone for $200 and possibly my Evo for a phone with those specs. Plus you wouldn't have to put up with the drama here, so consider me SOLD.
I am waiting until Sprint decides on its future 4G plans.
Those specs are sexy but ill wait a few before i get it
to see whats going on with the Epic and also the pros/cons of it from other xda users experiences
This paired with project leapfrog makes Sprint #1 by far. Verizon no longer has anything on them. EVO 3D will win phone of the year, even of the iPhone 5 when it comes out in August.
I'm excited i wanna see what the new qHD displays look like
HOLY ****! 3D Pictures? That's awesome!

Hmmm... sounds kinda cool, but I'm honestly pretty happy with my Epic. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like a sweet device, but it's just not nice enough for me to justify switching.

I will consider an upgrade (Premier Gold) provided a new phone meets my prerequisites of:

- 4" screen or bigger
- better camera (most important factor)
Somehow I missed that it will be dual core, not just 1.2 Ghz. I'm a bit more interested now lol. Although, that display would have to be pretty awesome... Unlike the previous Evo variations. Yuck!

You guys realise that our epic should be just as good over clock it to 1.3ghz and the powerVR gpu in our epics I believe are still better that the snapdragon ones. Plus that higher resolution on the qHD displays don't get as good framerates cause it taxes the cpu and **** harder didn't you see the thread that compared the atrix and other phones.

HTC Pyramid is the same exact phone (Yea, I know. Shocking news that HTC makes 45 exact same phones and just names them differently). Same processor, same resolution, with SLIGHTLY lower ram. LOL. GPU is utterly destroyed by the Galaxy S. Snapdragons are so crappy.
3D is just a gimmick. You have to have something that can display the images, and you have to wear those glasses. Its cool in theatre on the big screen, but on that little phone me thinks not.
I'll be keeping my Epic for quite awhile, planning on skipping the next gen just because I don't see it being much of a leap. When something comes out that my phone can't do then maybe I'll worry about it at that point.
So its funny by now we all know a new device with the same specs as our last device last month drops every 4 months or so.I was doing some thinking and I love this device its specs beat lots of other dualcore phones and match others the Atrix really is a future proof device from the 16gigs On board to the DDR2 1gig ram and Tegra2 Qhd screen I mean sure we have no NFC chip but that chip won't stop it from being fast or future proof.Look at the Evo3D vs Atrix we have better ram and Way more Rom 16gigs vs 4 same with sensation and G2X the Photon is the same device but with 4.3 and Better data speeds Umm what else nothing else beats Atrix I mean yes the Gs2 is nice and the Htc Holiday but man 4.5 idk and we don't know the full specs and they will still only run 1gig ram and not DDR2 I bet so in All I love this baby I have had it from day one but I just returned to it 4 days ago I was on the G2X and Sensation witch I still have.

ATRIX... starwars... 1.5ghz..... link me!
Making a smartphone with full of newest specs is easy for any OEMs but it is hard to make a STABLE smartphone with no BUGS or glitches. That's where atrix is way above than the S2, Sensation, LG's end others. I always said that Sensation, S2 wouldn't last more than 6 months without something broken. I wasn't wrong, just check their forums, lol. Atrix was advertised as the " Worlds most powerful smartphone " and that still counts.
just my 2 cents.
The only thing holding the Atrix back is it's software. The stock ROM is kinda poor when compare to others and we don't have a completely stable AOSP ROM base yet. I know the custom ROM do a great job of making this phone FLY, but once we have a clean build and some more ROMs not hindered by Blur, this will be a tough phone to beat for some time. Case in point, look at quadrant numbers (I know they mean little) on Atrix's with clock speeds of 1.2 and 1.3 ghz...they are through the roof, and I believe and above S2's of the spec. Why Moto doesn't doesn't write better ROM's is a mystery to me.
Edit 1.3ghz Typo .....remove stick from A$$ slowly and proceed to your nearest exit

the sensation had a update recently to make it stable, no more glitches with screen and stuff. id love to have a sensation tbh, id probably trade my atrix for one. i dont have a tv with hdmi so that could be one reason.

I don't know if you guys have read this but I thought I would post it up here to share. Apparently the EVO Shift is reaching End of life along with the white version of the EVO 3D.

This does sadden me a bit, I love the Shift and even using the 3D now I always keep the little guy with me.
Even so, im sure development will go on in these threads no matter what title Sprint gives it.
Feel free to leave opinions/comments below

EOL? GOOD! So what's next?
Shift 2 I hope.
Well I wouldn't close the coffin just yet. The EVO Shift has plenty of life in it still.
According to that article the shift is already eol the end of last week... Which was kind of expected, seeeing how htc totally butt ****ed ics by adding the typical htc sense bloat****... I have my doubts, because there is an evo3d on the list that's supposedly being eol'd... It has only been out 7-9 mos... Evo3d is a flagship phone and although it wasnt as popular as sprint had wished, im actually very surprised if that list is indeed true...
Edit: is the evo3d sprints new samsung moment? Lmao!

Boo, it's true, the Shift is no longer an option for buying/upgrading (on Sprint's website).
But, with a proper ICS rom, the Shift should still be kickin' a year or two from now. Here's to hoping the successor will be just as awesome (maybe with HDMI/DP out capabilities?).

Only the White Evo3d is on the eol. Not the Black one, that one is still going strong
This makes me LOL! The same thing happens with all smart phones. When their flagship phones don't sell as much like drob331 said, they tend to pull other devices off the shelvs first in hope that people will upgrade. The same thing happened with the G1/Mytouch. People continued to buy G1's and Mytouch's even after they were no longer available, from places like from ebay and other places. They were still great first generation devices!

Yea of course, just because the shift is reaching EOL doesn't mean anything changing here on xda, ebay, or anywhere else. It's just an extra tag sprint has given it. Yet I still view as a little saddening as the shifts power was under estimated.

I would kill for a Shift 2 to be released! Let's just hope that happens, but maybe with a bigger screen this time...after using a 4.3 inch screen I can't ever go back. Maybe at least 4in for the Shift 2
Shift 2 with a Dual Core Processor, 4 Inch Screen, and the new Tech Battery that's 35% Thinner with more capacity. Or maybe dare we dream the screen that has Solar Charging capability. Hey I can dream.

Same here.
I think I would've been fine with the shift for another year, but the moment I got the EVO I couldn't stand the slower speed, and i couldn't go back to the small screen so I went with the 3D I guess you can call me a band wagoner LOL. Shift is still my favorite device though
