All 3D's not created equal

[caramelcarebr]

Did anyone else get more than one 3D and notice obvious differences? Just got the phone I ordered online today and I am not happy with it. The screen is yellower, and the haptic feedback/vibration is subpar (more like the original EVO). If I hadn't of had the phone I bought from BB on Friday, I wouldn't have noticed these things, so I'm glad I didn't wait for this one to show up.

I originally pre-ordered, but then found out about the premier customer's ability to order online. So I ordered, thinking I'd get it ahead of launch day. Then found out my phone wouldn't be delivered until Monday so I went to BB on Friday and signed up for a new line so that I could buy another E3D for upgrade price. I was just going to play around with it until my other one arrived from UPS, and then planned on returning it. (I couldn't wait until Monday, what can I say?!?) So now that I can tell that the first one I received is clearly better, my new plan of action is to return the Sprint online ordered one, which will restore my upgrade, and then return the BB one, cancel the additional line and rebuy the BB one as my upgraded device. Does that make sense?

Sounds a little complicated... but whatever works!

My second evo (first had a dead pixel) has a slightly raised bevel/edge to the screen on one side. But considering this means the glass is slightly more protected, I guess it's good.

That's weird, haha. That seems more obvious than what I noticed on mine. I feel petty for being unhappy about something so small, but in all honesty the vibration/haptic feedback was one of the first things I noticed, and when I told the guy that it felt good like the Droid X, he said a few other customers had said the same thing. Your issue is something a nice case would hide, though, right?

Took some pics of the difference in colors in the screen. Dunno how obvious it will be to you all in pictures. Which screen do you think looks better? The one on the left is the new one that IRL looks a tad yellower.






First pic you can see the difference in the blacks on the launcher.
All pics were taken with full brightness.


Also, here are pics of my 3D (the one on the right in pics above) with my launch day EVO.

Are they both the same hardware version?

They look the same to me, man....

Theres some cases where I think the left looks better, and some where the right looks better.

Agreed. Have 3 here at the office...

Phone 1) Not smooth at all, has apparent lag going between screens and when trying to multitask

Phone 2) Overheated last night and fried a SD card, but otherwise runs great

Phone 3) 3D camera has glitches, but otherwise runs great

None of those would fly with me and all would be returned.... ESPECIALLY phone 2.

Remember that out of Every (let's say) ten devices made..two might be in some way defective. That's with anything man-made. This shouldn't differ anyone from purchasing such device. The EVO 3d is an Amazing phone, and one should just take time to appreciate such a device.
