EVO - LUTION 3D
The ability to change the font size in the messaging and gmail app is one of my favorite features!!! The keyboard is nice, but I downloaded the SwiftKey Beta X and I like it better!

I guess I was thinking it would be like the evo 4g if htc has the best selling android phone why change the whole thing and call it a evo? It should be call a htc 3d take the evo part out of it
I see your point. The EVO 3D is more accurately the successor to the EVO 4G. It's called EVO because that's HTC's "high end" line with Sprint. EVO 4G, EVO Shift, and now EVO 4G 3D. It's also partly marketing/branding. We like to say upgarded 4G likely because spec wise, it is upgraded from the 4G... everything is "better." But yeah, I see where where you're coming from.

quick impression. This phone is fast. And i mean fast. From a battery pull to home screen is literally 30 seconds. There are a few things about htc sense 3.0 that you guys prolly havent seen yet. one thing that kicks a$$ is the ability for the phone to connect to any media servers in your network through the music app. No apps to install, no configuration no nothing. If you have media streaming already set up, your phone can find it. Thats a major plus to me. For anyone who had an htc android phone, 90% of IU is pretty much familiar territory.
The screen is beautiful, lets just leave it at that.
Is this phone ground breaking? Coming from an EVO, not really, just a ton faster. Like upgrading from the Blackberry curve to the tour, or Bold. Like upgrading your car, to a newer model. Same thing, just cooler and faster. The 3d piece, as many know its only 3d for viewing 3d content. What does it look like? Just imagine a holographic card or poster.. Just a little more in depth. You really have to learn to train your eyes for the images. But after two minutes of trying to look into the phone and straining my eyes, i learned just to look at the glass screen and hold the phone a fixed distance away. Nope, no headaches. Its cool, but thats about all. Maybe when they implement a game which takes advantage of this feature, i will like it more. 3d pics is pretty cool, but i just played with it just to look, but never made a snap yet.

So far I cant put this phone down, I've given up my nextel and will be porting over my blackberry number to google voice soon so I only have to carry my EVO. I am definitely a convert.

I have had alot more time to play with the phone today. Man is this thing fast... it truly is the best phone I have used. A word of caution for those who are getting it tomorrow. The update broke more than it fixed in my opinion.

What did it break for you besides the dialer shortcut? The fix for the syncing issue with Watch was worth it for me, but again all I lost was a shortcut that I had changed anyway.

Over-exaggeration lol. I think that was it...I am not really using Watch so I guess that is why it broke more than it fixed.

Got my phone in early from Sprints FTB program & have had some time to play around with it. Maybe I'm just being nit picky but I'm not too fond of the battey cover. I mean, I like the textured back and all but what I don't like is that the volume and power buttons are attached to it. The volume button seems mushy IMO but overall, I think I can get use to this device more and more. I miss the wideness of the OG EVO's screen. The screen ratio on this phone makes it feel smaller than it is. I'm by no means bashing this phone, just pointing out some of the hardware differences that I noticed coming from an EVO 4G. The phone software is great & I'm still finding new things in this new version of sense.
