HTC Shooter Emerges = EVO 3D? Gingerbread-based Dual-Core

**charlesmvaron** · 03-21-2011, 02:28 PM

Does anyone know how much the phone will be with a new 2 yr through sprint? I am eligible in 2 weeks and don't know whether to get the evo or wait til june and get the evo 3d...suggestions? I currently have a palm pre, and while it still functions as a phone, its laggy as hell. I can certainly pain my way through a wait but at what cost? If the phone in june is gonna be 250-300 with an 2 year upgrade i may say screw it and get the evo instead. what do you guys think/suggest? thanks.

personally, I would wait. I wouldn't buy last years phone, as great as the EVO is, with this beast coming in a couple months.

I agree 100 percent.

Wait unitil June.

It was just confirmed that the EVO 3d will be the first phone compatible with Wimax and LTE. So definetly wait.

Yea read up on this thread. Bluescreen is a sprint rep it seems.

I was just reading his posts and I'm blown away. Hopefully those spec's get confirmed during Sprint's official announcement. I may just have to leave Verizon for Sprint when this bad boy luanches!

Yes Bluescreen is a very trusted source. He came around last year right before the original EVO was announced and he was pin point accurate with everything he said.

You can pretty much count on the Evo 3D being exactly what he is saying.

Ok, great. Thanks guys. I guess I'll just wait until pricing is announced to make an ultimate decision. If it is within my price range I'll wait. But if it is outrageously priced I may have to get the Evo as a cheaper option.

Hey new to the android community

I, like many others on this thread, have a palm pre right now (I'm actually typing this on my phone).

I'm most likely going to switch to the evo 3D as well because of all the apps and the customization options, even though I'll miss cards and just type

I wanted to get the pre 3 originally but these specs made me never look back.

Can't wait for the announcement tomorrow!

I was on the pre bandwagon when it was pre vs hero, until I got an Evo as my work phone, I still have a palm pre as my personal phone, but only reason I haven't upgraded it was because I knew around June sprint would have a new version of the EVO. So, now I can't wait to upgrade.

webos was fun when it started. It was a great concept, but it's not being used to it's full potential and it doesn't have nearly as many apps as the android market. At first i missed the swipe gestures and cards, but now, these phones are so fast there is no need to have you screen full of cards. just seems lame.

Damn I was hype about this phone. Complete dud for me. What a let down. Guess ill stick with my EVO for now until the next big thing.

**aquaj13** · 03-22-2011, 04:08 PM

In the hands-on video, the demonstrator DID say they would have kickstand cases though. Still don't like how they have positioned the camera lenses to protrude from the phone to rest on them when laid flat. Thought HTC would've learned from the 1st gen...smh.
I DO like how they have added sort of a "widgetlocker" type function to the lockscreen & the added animation when scrolling through the home screens.

**lafester** · 03-22-2011, 06:12 PM

why does the screen look so dark and washed out?
i was expecting to be wowed by the resolution and sharpness but was not.
i'm not sold on the evo 3d. at least we have some options this year

what reallly looks nice is the optimus 2x. too bad we haven't heard anything about that yet.

**MannyZ28** · 03-22-2011, 06:15 PM

I don't think it's ugly at all! I love how it looks. I like the red ring around the cameras, and to me it looks like the ring is raised higher than the camera glass to keep it from getting scratched.

How you can call a phone with those specs a dud is beyond me.

**hypocaffeinemia#ac** · 03-22-2011, 06:44 PM

I like the internal specs, but I hope the increased the bit-depth of the screen compared to the original EVO.

Honestly, considering I don't have a 3D-capable TV yet, I'm inclined to maybe sit this one out until next year-- especially now that my $140+ monthly family spending at Sprint no longer qualifies me for an upgrade after April 1st...

No kickstand isn't a deal breaker but is definitely something cool I've come to appreciate (youtube + 3 yr old = happy child).

Maybe I'll change my mind once I actually try one of these glasses-free 3D screens in person. If it sufficiently blows my mind, I'll jump aboard.
