with the lastest MR what are the thoughts on the following

**johnner1999** · 08-23-2011, 02:43 PM

The reasons why I am thinking of buying a Photon over the 3d are:

- reception or lack there of (evdo and 4g)
- battery life
- external speajer volume
- GPS

Has the latest 'fix' for the EVO 3D addressed these conerns>?

Main reason why I want the 3d over the Photon:

- better class of screen (ie not pentile)
- sense 3.0
- HTC's track record of OS updates (that might not be an issue now that we have Motogle ;-) )
- SMR 800MHz might be usful for voice and or data (I don't care about PTT)

any feedback?

Reception has never been a problem, and I'm always by wifi at work and at home.
Battery Life is a little less than what it used to be, but not by much, prob cause Im playing with the phone more hahaha
Speaker Volume is the same
GPS is MUCH better! Biggest improvement for me.

But I love my Evo 3D!
And if there was HTCs screen and software inside that Photon's HW it would be amazing!!!
