Hey new to the android community

I, like many others on this thread, have a palm pre right now

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.

No Kickstand.

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. :'(

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.

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.

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.

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.
