Well ladies and gentleman I did the unthinkable. I was going to hold out for the galaxy s2 but I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the EVO3D. I just want to say thanks to devs, trolls, mods, friends, cool kids, baby mama's and daddies, all the people who accepted the GB OTA especially the one guy who keeps making accounts asking for root, people who helped me, people I helped, people who annoy me, people that love team win, people that despise team win, people that create pointless threads like this one, and anyone else I left out that made these evo forums awesome!!! See you on the other side.....
First impressions: Only having the phone 1 hour I can say right now that the camera button and 2d/3d switch is already driving me insane. I hold my phone with my left hand and my fingers rest on it. I HATE IT, I HATE IT so effin much lol. Other than that the phone is godlike.......

The camera button bothers you only because you aren't used to it. After you get used to it, if you use the camera, you're gonna love it.
I didn't know you ever had a kickstand to begin with....zing!
The fact that on the evo 3d the charging port/ hdmi port is one in same makes it a no go. At least with evo 4g you can stream Netflix, HBO go and other internet streaming sites while still charging the phone makes it a plus. That phone will be 99 bucks after Christmas.

Being a over the road trucker must truck stops have free high speed wifi. I have a 387 peterbuilt truck with a 32 inch flat screen mounted so streaming movies saves a ton on entertainment. They want 26.99 for a new release DVD... No way.... So for me the evo 4g is where I will be parked for a while and if I do upgrade I will still keep the phone for that purpose ... I think there will be much better phones offered in 2012.

Same here. I cannot stand Sense. I actually played with an EVO 3D, and comparing it to my rooted, fully decked-out AOSP running phone, honestly it wasn't much faster either.
I'm sure it will be blazing once root is achieved and it has proper support, but my LauncherPro was certainly faster than Sense 3.0, apps loaded about the same speed, the browser pinch to zoom was almost exactly the same.
I'm sure for flash videos and graphics-heavy games it would certainly make a difference, but aside from that, a rooted EVO 4G easily matches the speed of a stock EVO 3D.

Thankfully Samsung is handling this ad and not Sprint. Not as good as the Vibrant ad (Avatar helped) but it will certainly garner attention that's desperately needed.
That commercial is awesome, it makes me want the Epic and Halo: Reach more. Both are gonna be Epic!
I think the commercial was stupid, but not any worse than other phone commercials.
Starts out with intense Halo action cut scene, *but wait* its actually video thats being played on a cellphone!
Don't really say anything about the phone itself other than the s.amoled screen. Nothing mysterious like the Verizon Droid commercials that leaves a lingering sense of curiosity.
More like they are saying "look at this awesome game coming out, now look at this awesome phone!"

Looking back ... Samsung/ Sprint let this phone get steam rolled by the Evo ....

I had an Evo, I couldn't get past the compromises HTC made on hardware and build quality, as well as laggy interface issues.
Now with the Epic, I don't have to make those compromises, everything's like butter and it feels solid, no screen separation issues here.
I have both, the Epic grows on me more and more everyday. And by the end of this week, it'll be my daily driver. Gonna activate it and use my Evo as an MP3 player.

To be honest... when I pick up my EVO now, it feels like an old piece of junk. And you can make it look however you want. Just load in another launcher.
Except for themes... but themes are lame
I personally cant wait to see how developement goes for the Epic. My EVO is flying at the moment thanks to the great developers on XDA. Hopefully beofre too long my Epic will be the same, if not better! We shall see
Week one, what's the hold up
Shouldn't we have lots of development already done on this thing? I mean, it came out Tuesday folks. You expect me to sit on my butt idly waiting till next week or something? If I've gotta wait till October, I'm canning this thing and going back to my Palm III.

If any of you still have your Evo's, take a look at this video on each of your handsets side by side.
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeacjOkLjZ0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The difference is night and day. Our screens really do pwn the Evo's.
Development is kinda' now because the Evo was barely released a few months ago then the Epic came out.
If the Evo had been released a few short months after the Nexus One was released, development for the Evo would be on par with development for the Epic at this time. Hypothetically speaking.
all you guys need to chill out
naww but really the epic has been out for 4 days now and we've made great strides so far. The hero took about 4 weeks to get root and another 2 weeks to get its first rom. We have good devs that re willing to sacrifice their phones to try to bring these things here. So its no problem for me to wait patiently!
haters
Hey Pongoface,
I really wasn't trying to hate. Just thought I'd be my retarded usual self. I caught the jist of what you were saying and I'm definitely looking forward to being cooler than my Evo friends! Now the hill billy talk...I've got no idea where that came from.

I was at the mall and walked into the at&t store and I started.playing with the atrix. Not impressed at all. Of course it being at&t The download speeds on speedtest.net were awful. I got like 150kbs down. My smartbench 2010 score was 1256. I can't remember what the games Index was. My epic honestly felt just as fast and smooth as that dual core. I know android isn't really able to take advantage of dual cores yet but it just made me appreciate my epic a little more. I also definitely wouldn't get it cause its locked down way to much with the bootloader so very small chance of custom kernels. Any one else been able to okay with it? Thanks for reading my post.

Atrix 4G Speeds Reported Slower Than 3G
http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/222046/atrix_4g_speeds_reported_slower_than_3g.html
With the dock its a nice phone, but I would have never invested so much in a locked boot loader and encryption to boot! Many developers aren't going to invest much if any time in the phone due to the amount of work it will take to get CM7/ etc working for it. My good friend has it, and though it runs rather nicely and the dock is pretty cool, I think they really crippled it with the lock out abilities.
Yes you are right. The.****.is very nice. I would jump on the phone if the bootloader wasn't locked. I honestly just thought it was going to be better than what it was. The damn salesperson kept.bothering me when.I was playing with.it. he kept saying isn't that such a nice phone. Finally I said no its not mine is better and I'm just bored. He finally let me alone.

Once I saw this phone, I was thinking THAT was how M$ could get back in the game.
If they could put out a Windows phone that ran something like Windows 7, and connected like the Atrix does making it a laptop, that would be a big deal, and provide a really great platform, almost to the point of replacing laptops and desktops for home use.
Sadly, I doubt M$ could get it done.
As nice as the concept is, having a laptop setup does little good, if you cant run your desktop apps.
While I use my phone for most stuff now, I still am tied to my laptop for things like advanced picture and video editing.
It would be nice if it didn't dangle off the back either... If the phone slid into place where the touch pad should be that would be a nice and clean solution

I figured anyone with even the least bit of mental development would've had their skeptic alarm go off at the sight of all the Atrix hype. The more people talk about a gadget, the less the gadget speaks for itself. At least, that sure has been history's lesson.
In fact, the surface is never the reality anymore. Dual core has never meant double performance, free services doesn't change the fact that we're Google's product and retailers buying ads are Google's customers, revolutionary doesn't mean Apple actually built their own hardware, and saying M$ has never made anybody cool. ;p

Set From My 3.0.1 Bonsai Epic 4g
Mildly related: I walked into Costco and the carnival guys working the Verizon kiosk called me over to look at the new Moto Xoom. He went into his spiel about how great Honeycomb is and everything. I asked him if it was rooted and he said, "What's that?" "Newbie," I thought to myself. He let me play with it and I decided to download Quadrant to see what it would pull. He asked me what Quadrant was. I told him it was a benchmarking tool (but secretly I'm thinking, "You're a tool!"). So I run Quadrant and the Xoom with its Tegra2 gets 1800. I'm like WTF? So I pulled out my Epic Bonsai monster and cranked SetCPU to 1200/1200 and ran Quadrant. He looked at my Epic wide-eyed as I showed him the 2450 on my screen. I walked away feeling a little smug.

I wouldn't worry about this too much. Yeah, there will be some jumping ship but if you peak XDA's front page the Evo is the most popular phone on XDA.

I know they test a lot but there are bound to be some issues.
cant wait to see what happens with the 3D. im sure everyone wont bail at first but it will happen
unless i can get a 3d for cheap ill pass on it for now and wait for the galaxy s 2 to come. i think the evo has a good 6 months of dev life left in it.

EVO is the most popular currently because the 3D is not even out yet. With that being said I'm sure devs will work on multiple phones. Myn works on a few different phones for example.

Too bad strapped is leaving but he's not the only developer we have. There are plenty of ROMs out there being actively developed.
As long as we get CM9 or a different AOSP ICS ROM then I'll be happy with my Shift for another year. My last three phones have been landscape sliders, I'm not sure if I could deal with only having an onscreen keyboard.

Agreeded, it was a sad day when strapped had to leave the forum. But that was because of very difficult choice that had to be made. Plus he didn't leave the Shift. He just halted open development, android is in his blood . We still have some very talented Devs on the Shift.

Strapped is leaving and if the other big ones start to leave, then developement will come to a halt...less updates, roms,etc. I certainly don't have the funds to get a dual core phone and honestly, to me they are over hyped. We have laptops, so what's the point of having a big lug of a brick to carry around? Especially if you're a guy. Well, there's my little rant, so cheers to HTC Speedy, Mr.Underrated 2011.

There are other forums that have other roms (sdx developers)... and... the negativity is toooooo much! Seriously, this phone is nowhere near dead. There are also a ton of great devs that have this phone and more than a few up and coming that have the shift as well... it seems that there is always someone starting a thread or making comments that the shift is dead... its not dead at all in the huddle!

The dual cores are over rated and over priced. And a lot of them are very buggy phones in general. That's why development for the HTC Sensation and HTC Evo 3d is taking so long. I doubt the shift will be dead for a very long time.

I love my shift, and I expect when the shift 2 (shift 3d?) drops below $100 ill consider upgrading. The slider is the dealmaker for me; add a powerful touchscreen and no way I'm leaving. 'Sides, I got a bit more than a year on my contract

As long as we get CM9 or a different AOSP ICS ROM then I'll be happy with my Shift for another year. My last three phones have been landscape sliders, I'm not sure if I could deal with only having an onscreen keyboard.

This. I want my shift to last me as long as until another good slider comes out. Sure theres been sliders released since the shift, but none of them have anything powerful behind that screen. They keyboard is THE dealmaker with me, and I would like to keep my current ability of running full speed 3D games and watching netflix without stutter.
Well, as you can see, this was BEFORE HTC released the kernel source (which was one if not the biggest complaint), so apologies. I got this phone because I liked the fact is was blue (I dislike that I see black bricks everywhere) and the hardware specs looked nice as well. It was either the G2 or this (I disliked it looking like a concrete block.lol) and I can say I'm glad Father allowed me to get this one. As for deving, I'm sure that's not in my lane. The countless nights & hours....can't do it. I haven't looked into the quadcore phones, but I can barely get service out here anyways unless it's by a landline, so I definitely won't spend $4-500 on a phone. I have a computer, so I don't need all this new stuff that's more in the "nice to have, but not needed" range. Also having a 4'3 inch or whatever screen busting my pockets wherever I go. I had enough of that with the HD2. On another note, I am ANXIOUS about having an ICS for this phone.

I don't think it would ever drop under $100... but I did get this phone for that price

I got my shift for $150, while the rest of my family went for the $200 evo. Before the shift came out, I was ogling the Epic, but I'm sick of samsung phones. Frankly, I don't need the humungous screen, the compact shift screen is just big enough for my purposes. I hardly use it to watch anything anyways. But IIRC, radio shack was offerring the shift for $50? free? with a 2 yr contract sometime back. Once the Shift 1 is fully EOL, I fully expect similar deals for the shift 3d. You can't keep a phone at the debut price forever. My only real complaint is battery life still sucks compared to the iphone

i got lucky and caught my shift for free on a new contract at radio shack, only problem at the time was it came with 2.3.3 so i wasnt able to get root for a while. otherwise, i love this phone and development is far from dead on it, wait til one_love starts releasing the themes hes been working on in the background.
I got my shift for free because my hero took a poop. Lol thank you best buy.
