Evo 3d or nexus s?
I'm gonna give my GD my evolution running synergy n gonna get a new phone but I'm in between the nexus s 4g n the evo 3d. Which do u prefer? Obviously the community is important to me as I'd like to root n flash custom rom's. So help me out?

Looks like the Evo 3D will be getting unlocked by early September.
The Evo has the dual core and more ram, as well as a dedicated camera button. The Nexus is made by Samsung so the plasticyness might be a turn off. The Evo has HDMI out and the Nexus S does not. The screen on the Nexus S is supposed to be easier to see in sunlight, and it has that cool curve to the body.
I went with an Evo 4G over the Nexus, so I would personally choose the 3D here.
Considering the fact the the Evo 3D will have as much support, if not more, than the Nexus S and in the raw specs race the Evo 3D wins.
I think the answer is: Evo 3D when it's unlocked.
Roll to the 3D you will love it
I'm leaning to the evo. But I'm so impatient n i want rooooooot

Keep the Evo until the 3D is unlocked then.
i have the nexus and returned the 3d.
It what you prefer really. The nexus Development is nothing compared to the evo's devs.
nexus maybe has like 7 roms. its really between MIUI, Cyanogen and stock roms that are tweaked.
Nexus is wayyyyyyyyy fast then both the htc evo and 3d. i mean crazy fast... and i shouldnt really bash the dev for nexus because they do great jobs on the kernels.
Best kernel i have ever used in my life. i can tell instantly how much juice my phone is saving.
Some people pick on the nexus because its samsung made but i love the light feel look, and the curvy sides fit perfectly in my hands. This is a plus for me cause the evo was a gigantic phone. the nexus i have no problems reaching from corner to corner with my thumbs.
Pretty much phone wise because of speed and HOW EASY IT IS TO ROOT( no more then 10 mins and very very very simple) i choose the nexus.
But once the 3d gets root it probably will be a treat, but im like u and wasn't patient and i don't regret it lol

Been looking at the Evo 3D...and it looks pretty cool. But there is just something about it that doesnt appeal to me. I think I might wait for the Galaxy SII to drop!
Ya I loved everything about the phone until I saw the 2d-3d toggle switch next to the camera button... not sexy.. I figured that the setting for that would be a widget just like everything else on the phone... makes it look cheap.. oh well I guess ill be walking around with the cheap ugly thing soon enough though! ;-)

I'm happy with my Epic, I'll upgrade once there's a SAMOLED Galaxy S2 3D
Been burned too many times by samsung, never again. But not doing evo 3d either.
Looks to me like 3D might finally take off. But I'm not downgrading from SuperAmoled to dim looking LCD. I might consider getting a new phone when Samsung comes out with a Galaxy 3D LTE [since wimax is in the brinks of it's final days]- with a Qwerty keyboard.
Waiting for physical keyboard.
Truthfully for me if the epic gets the real stock up date soon I'll stay with it.

I could care less about 3D. I'll wait until my upgrade rolls around or something really blows me away before I start considering another phone. Nice to see sprint is finally beefing up their phone lineup to an acceptable level compared to the competition.
When HTC/Moto comes out with a brilliant screen like the Galaxy S/Iphone then I'll be picking that up.
Never going Samsung again.

The switch is for 2d/3d camera, not the screen itself..that's controlled within the settings.
Either way, not for me..3d is too much of a gimmick and I'll wait it out a bit.
I am going back to htc. Dunno about the evo 3d tho next phone shpukd be out in another 6 months right

then comes to question am i willing to go without a keyboard again.. ill have to look deeper into the display once it does hit the store.
I've been buying AMOLED devices since 2008.
No AMOLED, no purchase.
definitely keeping the epic. it does everything and more I could possibly want from a phone. I'm not really buying into this whole 3d thing yet either.
It all depends on how good the screen & display looks.

The epic is the best smartphone they have right now. I do not consider a phone without a keyboard a smartphone. I can't stand when someone hands me a phone to type a message...setup some things etc...when it is a virtual keyboard.
Nothing to see here, move along. I'm keeping my Epic
I wonder how the 1.2 dual core does in quadrant scores and linpacks ............ lol with the extra boost of ram, thats what my main eyes on.. its a evo supercharged and i did miss my evo so i would love to see how it is.. samsung to me been a **** up, developers shouldnt work so hard to do what they shoulda had done right from first go around and im an all time htc fan...i love their quality hardware, never had a problem with em.. keyboard i will miss but, i can type better on glass than on samsungs skipped keyboard.... *even with the patches* :/

I would never pay retail price for a phone and I don't get upgraded for another 14 months.

Absolutely NO! Did you all see what happened to the Evo Shift? That thing benchedmark looooowwwww! And not to mention the down grade on the screen. Really? Htc, your doing it wrong.
And if the 3d looks like the nds, shot yourself in the nuts.

I can't stand the Epic. Ideally, I'd go back to iOS but Sprint doesn't have an Iphone. Anyhow, the answer is no. I'll probably get an EVO 3D.
Hey all, I have a brand new Mytoich 4g that I just got from a warranty exchange. It is currently rooted with cm on it. I was looking to trade someone for a nexus that's in good condition. The trade would have to be straight across the line no money involved. Hit me up if you are interested.
Not a fair trade. You will have to offer cash along with your mytouch 4g.

Actually the Hummingbird processor is vastly superior to the Snapdragon found in the MyTouch 4G. It has better I/O processing speeds and a much stronger graphics rendering ability. Overall the Nexus has better specs, and the battery life will be superior due to the absence of T-Mobile's gimped HTC Sense.

Not true whatsoever ill out benchmark you on any test you would like to take. Also since you didn't read I'm not using the stock nor would anybody on this site. As for the battery life on a miui rom, the phone can go almost 2 days with the right kernel and moderate use.

You can stop trying to defend your phone dude. I saw your note on CM7 but the fact is not everyone would want to use CM7. As far as benchmarks, those can be inflated easily. The proof is right there when you place the two side by side in a 3D game to see the MT4G choking at about 20-25 FPS while the Nexus S will glide along at 40+ FPS.
Point we're trying to get across to you is that no one is going to do an even trade for it.

Well you don't speak for everybody and and the mytouch does the same 45 fps as the nexus. However, your running a first gen processor and mine is a second gen

Ive ran both phones side by side and the mytouch is superior in every way except screen. It eats the Nexus for breakfast in linpack, not to mention it will run aosp and sense. If it were me, and I had a GSM nexus, Id trade ya in a heartbeat man. My little sisters Mytouch 4g is my favorite phone ive never owned lol.
For those of you reading this and that may be listening to the misinformed, the mytouch has a dual processor which basically means a dedicated gpu. The screen shots I'm posting below are...
First set - the worst and best performances of the gpu
Second set - stock setting and overclocking of the cpu
Third set- what 4g gets you
All of these are done without cheating. If someone is serious about a trade I'd be more than happy to upload a you tube video for proof

I ran a 4999 quad on my nexus. But never got more than 21mflops in linpack. The mytouch beats it in every benchmark but quadrant.

I'm with the OP.
The myTouch 4G is a vastly superior device. This is coming from a Nexus S user (previous myTouch 4G user).
I got a superior deal for it (my mint sidekick 4g straight trade for the Nexus S
But I have to say first off that the mytouch gets higher Quadrant scores stock and then obviously devours the nexus s in everything except graphics performance.
In all honesty a straight trade would be a good deal. You'd be gaining a nice device and dev community with a larger variety of ROMs. Also the battery life of the myTouch so far seems to be better than this phone stock.
If I was the OP, post the phone on Craigslist and see what you get. Or if your lucky like me go from mytouch to sidekick 4g then nexus s all straight trades haha.. (don't take your chances. Analyze how the sidekick is doing in your area. It seems to have leverage in mine (Minneapolis) even though its a sucky device. There was a guy doing a straight trade g2x for sidekick. It was crazy.)
Just my 2 cents.

This isn't really a cut and dry answer. You have some people that say they'd rather have the OG Evo and you have some who say the 3D Evo is all that and they are only going forward. I messed with a co-workers and I liked the processing power and more memory. The 3d was cool but I can see it wearing off after a while. I'm taking the plunge on just processing power and memory alone but that's just me. Check out the EVO 3D section, read up and make an informed choice.
Yea thats what drew it to me to that dual core processor would wamna see how fast that bad boy can really go after a root and custom kernel but yea ill go by those threads and take a look thanks

I am holding out until the Kingdom is released. Haven't heard much about it other than the roms based off of it. I would be perfectly happy with my OG Evo if some of these lazy ass devs would hurry up and root my phone for me though. I sure do miss some sense 3 (damn these smartphones and their aversion to river water).

hahaha i feel your pain
to answer the main question, i wouldnt go for the E3D. while it is approx. 2x as fast as the OG evo, with rooted roms, the performance is not bad at all. it can totally handle all your social media, many games and such. i dont really see the noticeable benefit between the 3d and the og. thus, i have a OG evo.

Yes but you bought the EVO long before the 3D came out. If you are buying a phone and are deciding between the two, its a no brainer. Buy the 3D. It is worth the extra 100 bucks.

I'm in the same boat. I know Radio Shack's been offering the EVO 4G for free with an upgrade so I was thinking about hopping on that.
Point of 3d would be processor no need for 3d pics when ur sending to 2d phone.... OG is hot wouldn't trade for anything..... Except dual core OG 4G

Really though its dual core and 40g's of storage out of the box. Plus root and some awesome devs who upgraded from OG. I would get it based on those facts.

I've been waiting to use my upgrade on a soon to be announced phone like the Samsung Galaxy S2 or Prime.

if you want the OTA updates first, keep the ns.
anyways i would never sell my NS or something. maybe later i'll get the newest nexus (from google.). once I have a google phone its hard to let go of it
Right! That's my biggest indecision! I had the epic before this...and I don't care of it's Sammy, HTC, or Moto, it's going to take a looong time for those phones to get updated. I'm just falling victim to wanting the dual core and bigger screen. Bit after the whole epic 4g fiasco...I don't know if I want to take that risk again.

That's how they make money. Tempt the customers with awesome specs, then make the product obsolete as soon as possible by keeping the software updated for just a short time.
I don't care about the latest hardware, I want the latest software. That's why I'm keeping my Nexus S.
I remember a user here who traded his Evo 3d for a nexus s. Going from nexus s to evo 3d is not an 'upgrade' in my opinion.

I was stuck with the hboot1.5 and it was a pain in the ass to root. I didn't want to do it the HTC method. Plus I also noticed on numerous 3D phones that they had an issue with on time and awake time. They would be close to equal. I think it was due to the software 2.3.4
