How does the camera hold up in low light/going from bright light to low?

**trooper54** · 06-16-2011, 11:18 AM

Score! Can you upload some pics taken in both 2d and 3d?

**KarbonKopy** · 06-16-2011, 11:18 AM

Do you miss the kickstand on that vs the OG EVO or Thunderbolt? I use it often and am curious if you have got along without it ok...

**Djblue** · 06-16-2011, 11:18 AM

Cool thanks for doing this Phil.
Do you have any info on the phone recording in 1080p?

**dkotoric** · 06-16-2011, 11:19 AM

Is the bootloader locked?

**shadeoblac** · 06-16-2011, 11:19 AM

Have you checked to see if the bootloader is locked or unlocked?

**efurr** · 06-16-2011, 11:20 AM

How about wired headset controls? Work? Work that same as the Evo 4g?

**MannyZ28** · 06-16-2011, 11:26 AM

Do we really only get just over 1gb of room to install Apps? Any issues with any 3rd party keyboard like SwiftKey x beta because of the higher resolution?

Not me, personally. Never really a kickstand guy.

In some websites in the Evo 3D specs they said 2G GSM capabilities. Is that true? It's a world phone? or just the europe version?

**dchanson** · 06-16-2011, 11:28 AM

How is signal quality in terms of both data and voice, and also how is audio quality during calls?

I want to know the same thing.... Many tech blogs have reported poor call quality in terms of audio and signal.

I want YOUR perspective...as I respect AndroidCentral VERY MUCH.

How spot on is the engadget review compared to yours? I am starting to think the same things they said. To me its a upgraded EVO with a 3d camera and a button to snap pictures...Yes I don't get the 3d stuff yet.

I don't read other reviews until I've written mine.

Definitely not a world phone.

did I miss something, I see a hands on but I didn't see a full written review from androidcentral

**trooper54** · 06-16-2011, 11:40 AM

Can you browse the other 3gb of internal storage? Or is it locked system partition Can you move apps to it like moving apps to the sd?

**mr.brand** · 06-16-2011, 11:42 AM

How does the display look compared to the Sensation? Any less sharp/bright due to the parallax screen overlay?

**docangle1** · 06-16-2011, 11:43 AM

Can you show us a screen shot of the SD & Phone Storage, so we can see how the phone's memory is partitioned? Is the 4GB of memory used entirely for App Storage (I hope this is the case) or is it like the sensation and partitioned (1GB for Apps and 3GB for SD Card Space.)

Look pretty similar to me. I'm not all caught up in that Pentile/whatever stuff. If it looks good, it looks good. And the 3D parallax stuff doesn't appear to affect 2D at all.

Of course, I'm blind as a bat. lol.

**VickMackey#AC** · 06-16-2011, 11:47 AM

BGR reported they could see gridlines in the display due to the 3D screen construction. What's your impression of the display?

**cbwrob** · 06-16-2011, 11:47 AM

Really looking forward to your review...when do you think you may have that?

Getting phone regardless but you have already touched (in a 7 minute unboxing video) on some things full on reviews didn't even mention lol.

**svinyard** · 06-16-2011, 11:49 AM

Phil, what do you think of this in comparision to the sgs2?

Man we are dying for a really really solid, non emotional, honest review here. Eta on that?
