Am I the only one whose nervous about this phone. I want to go to my Sprint store and preorder it to get away from the Pre so bad, but I dont want to be saddled with a poor phone for another 2 years
just from comments I've seen on xda/androidcentral forums. I realize its very much an issue of me being naive and ignorant. I was pretty sold on it until that short lived phonescoop review was posted but as had been previously thrown out its not exactly a great review. It just seeded some doubt in my mind that blew up pretty quickly.

I am pretty sure sprint tests the phone first to make sure it's up to their standards/QUOTE]
Yep, just like the tested the Nexus S that so many people are having issues with right? Or just like they tested the Evo 4G that needed tons of fixes and 3 months to get working properly, right? The 3D is going to have its issues and the only real review we have seen just confirmed that.
The key phrase on reception in the review was "It performed on par with other Sprint 3G Devices." People seem to have overlooked that.
You seem to overlook the fact he was only talking about DATA when he said it performed on par with other Sprint 3G devices and this is supposed to be a 4G phone! He said the phone part of it was a disaster. Here is his quote...
"As for 3G, out in NJ where 4G isn't live yet, I was able to spend a weekend with the EVO 3D using EVDO-only coverage. How well did this work? In a word: disaster. The EVO 3D barely held onto one bar most of the time. This led to missed calls, plenty of repeat dials, and several dropped calls. Not good. As for 3G data performance, it was better than voice performance for sure. Speeds were decent, and 3G browsing sessions were acceptably quick, even with only one bar. At my home in NJ, one bar is pretty typical for Sprint. It performed on par with other Sprint 3G devices."

he also said it has 1 bar. I don't expect to get phone calls with 1 bar either. He also said it's on par with other sprint devices. So I'd say he had more of a sprint problem than a htc problem.
I wish the mods would ban you. You do nothing but troll on the Evo3D forums. You've been warned yet continue to do so. Obnoxious,
