The "I was going to get the Evo 3D" Thread

[jbuggydroid]

Oh but the 16gb internal memory and the fact that nvidea gives great support to gaming devs makes the photon the clear choice for me. plus I am hoping to be able to plug this phone into tvs and play games on the big screen but that is only if it will be able to display the stuff on the phone ie the home screens and whatever is open on the phone and not just movies and pics

eze,was the reception and phone performance on your EVO 3D as bad as a lot of the early reviews seem to suggest?

 

[dwaynewilliams#WN]

Its hard to say which device is better. I like Sense more than I like motoblur. But I like the hardware better on the Photon. If you slap launcher pro on this thing, it should be the better buy. But we will see which phone has the most issues.

 

[dwaynewilliams#WN]

Also, I think that it is interesting that the Photon has a kickstand and the new EVO doesn't.

After looking at AndroidCentrals Evo 3D/Proton 4G specs comparison (http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-3d-and-motorola-photon-specs-comparison), and reading about the crappy call quality on the Evo 3D (yes I still use my smartphone to call people---imagine that!) I am holding out for reviews on the Photon 4G upon release. I also like that the Photon has 8 mp camera, is a worldphone, is lighter than the Evo 3D, and oh that 1 GB DDR2 RAM (Evo 3D just has just 1GB), and oh the glorious 16 GM of ROM and storage! I checked out the new Motoblur and though not as pretty as Sense 3.0, it does have some useful features.

This might seem weird. But I'll get the Photon if it gets a custom Sense 3.0 ROM. I would get the Evo 3D, but it doesn't have a kickstand. . Plus, HTC battery life sucks. That's the only complaint I have about my Evo.

Photon > EVO 3D for custom roms... less baggage. Also I have this idea about not being an early adopter of anything 3D... just saying.

Oh, and the most important part... Tegra 2 in a phone. Bring on the games and early Ice Cream Sandwich.

Whaa?

I don't get this comment. HTC generally has a much bigger developer community churning out custom ROMs, and (at least right now) is the only one of the two phones that has a chance at having the ability to install custom ROMs.

Don't get me wrong, I'm leaning towards the Moto and hope they follow thru and unlock the boot loader, but I still expect much more developers to surround the HTC than the Moto.

They do and imo always will. I don't see why devs would get this when the evo 3d and within are both options. I think the other guy is hallucinating lol.

My Evo3D is now back at Radio Shack. Now pondering the next 2 phones... this one and the GS2.

[JayWill]

Looks like it just cleared the FCC today. Should be seeing this in Sprint stores pretty soon.

@eze036,

Did you happen to find out if it's locked down or not?

@eze036,

unfortunately no i only used it for about 5minutes...when i asked the rep he didnt comment..im going to digg up some more answers and see if someone will answer

Maybe im the only person who doesnt care about the bootloader and cant wait for this phone

The photon is basically the same phone as the Droid Bionic with the only difference being it has a smaller screen (4.5 vs 4.3).

Also the new updated Motoblur on Gingerbread looks much nicer than all previous versions so far.

Definitely cant wait for this phone

Indeed. I read on this site, Motorola Photon Preview | Ubergizmo that the Photon is an "enhanced" version of the Atrix. Can't wait for Photon to arrive on the Sprint network.

 

[fred1955]

I also read the Photon has a dual-layer of Gorilla glass to dramatically reduce the amount of glare from the Sun. Awesome specs!

Ubergizmo.com:The Proton is styled "more Klingon than Federation(compared to the Galaxy S series)". These people know their readers.
