LG Optimus 3D specs - Phone Arena
This is the evo 3d. like Lg or not this phone is solid. You may not need 3d, but it's nice to have the option and yes you can toggle 3d function.

Has it occurred to anyone the timing of these new devices being announced and the timing of Sprint's changes to their Sprint Premier/upgrade program are suspect?
Me thinks a lot of Sprint customers are going to be pissed off when they find out they are no longer upgrade eligible after 4/1 and then both these devices drop.
And seriously, WTF is it about viewing angles that you people need? Are you lying flat doing yoga alongside your phone and just *need* to be able to look over and see the weather animations on the Sense widgets? I don't get it. When does one ever not want to look at their phone from off angles?

I hope Samsung uses this and a chance to update some of the features of the Nexus S. Upgrade the forward facing camera from VGA to 1.3MP and add the SD card slot back. It should be brought up to the same basic specs as the new S2. I am not huge Samsung fan, but I am a fan of vanilla android that does not make me wait for HTC, Moto, Samsung, etc to update their custom UI.
A week after I get the Atrix, this leak comes out about sprint...wtf...lol. That's why I still have 2 of my 4 lines still active with Sprint. Im not to fond of Samsung though because of the Galaxy line phones not being updated to 2.2. What ever Sprint releases, I hope its better than the Atrix cause its a beast. Its fast as hell, no lag etc. So if its not.better than the Atrix, i'll stay with what I have for now (the Atrix)...but we'll see.
Just want to say build quality != metal. The Nexus S actually feels fairly nice and solid in the hand, survives falls and is a beautiful phone. Idk about the all the unqualified Samsung hate. I guess it's the trendy thing to do? It's almost as ridiculous as the people blaming Samsung for the Nexus S color temp changes around here. I never knew they were that evil that they forcibly hijacked Google updates to change things around, can we expect Touchwiz in the 2.4 update?
I'm not a Samsung fanboy. (I'm a Moto one, actually. I prefer their hardware and their presentation of it over what I've seen of other manufacturers.) But god, it's irritating to see people treat Samsung like the plague when we're talking about a Nexus device. If you don't like Samsung, fine. Get a case. File their name off the back. But don't treat it like it's something that actively cripples the device when Samsung isn't a factor past the hardware itself, which is quite decent.
On another note; I hope Google plans to do more QA on updates now that the Nexus S seems to be cropping up on multiple carriers (carriers people actually use). They seem to have been treating us like beta testers up to this point, and the screen temp. change would likely panic the average consumer IMO. If the phone is rebooting during phone calls... well, the issue is quite obvious there.
PS: I just want to make the point on build quality; if you can find one, hold it in your hand and feeeeeell it... I'm not saying you'll love it, you may not like it at all; but it doesn't creak, it doesn't feel hollow, and it doesn't feel 'cheap' IMO. It feels plastic.

If they make a Nexus S for Sprint, why not make a version for AT&T and Verizon? A model that would work on AT&T bands was approved by the FCC earlier this year. I think having a Nexus phone on a carrier like Verizon would go a long way.
the thunderbolt is the evo but instead 4g wimax, it has 4g lte.everything in specs wise is the same 1ghz processor,8gig back-camera,1.3 front and same type of screen....even comes with the same memory card size
IIRC, the Thunderbolt uses a newer Snapdragon that performs much better than the EVO. Still not much of an upgrade IMO (HTC should work a little harder if they don't want to be seen as rehashing the Desire HD/EVO with every new phone they make, maybe even overclock the processor like Droid 2 vs. Droid 2 Global), but still a great device if you're on Verizon. Advice to the poster who said he wished the Nexus was on Verizon; the Thunderbolt is better in some respects than a Nexus, ROMs will keep you up to speed with the latest OS updates (as if HTC didn't do upgrades pretty fast themselves), and I'd just go out and get that. Don't worry about the Nexus.
Thank-you.You Sprint customers are lucky. I hope Verizon gets it soon and hope they updated the processor.
I would like to know what so important to have Dual-core.... Can u guys explain me so i can understand why its so important to people..... I have been notice people been want to have Dual Core
And I hope it wont make by Samsung too Rather HTC
Man, for some reason i am one of those people who love there samsung epic, and i would love to have the nexus. Would love to have the latest and greatest upgrades and pure android... i wonder if sprint would put there own skin on it like id or something... i doubt it, but lets pray it doesn't
the reason why everyone hates and distrusts samsung is because they withhold updates from previous models so people are more tempted to buy newer models.......they suck on updates....the sprint samsung people FINALLY got froyo, but it had many issues.
That, and their phones are cheap (maybe not the nexus, but the galaxy, along with other models are pretty cheap if you ask me)
if i like VZW I should be with it? HMM...sorry but I pay $41 a month for a plan most people pay $80 for on sprint.......I'm not going to pay $90 a month with verizon (cheapest comparable plan with sprint), making it an additional $49/mo...you must be out of your mind!
Quite honestly, if Sprint decides to get the Nexus S, I hope that they make it a dual radio (international) phone. I'm overseas, now, and I have a Nexus S for my travels around the world. When I get back to the States, I've decided to dump Sprint for T-Mobile so that I don't have to lug around two phones. Sprint's CDMA is useless outside of North America, so they would be able to keep me (as a world traveler) if they had a good Android international phone. The Nexus S has been excellent for me during my travels, and I don't give a s**t about 4g.
I just can't get excited for the Sprint Nexus S. To me its bad news. The fact that they are "newly" releasing another Galaxy S variant when the Galaxy S II will probably be on other carrier around the same time makes me sad. How far out does this push the SGS II for sprint? I mean don't get me wrong I would love Google's nexus phones on sprint' just not 6 months (by the time it arrives) after they were released. Especially not when its successor will also be out.
One of the reasons I dislike the iPhone so much is because I don't like to have the same thing as everyone else. At this rate though I am going to end up with the Evo 2/3D just like 90% of the rest of the Android Smartphoners on Sprint. Give me (current gen) choices Sprint!

I totally agree, I really can't see it happen that the Nexus S will have a dual core processor as I believe thats a big enough upgrade that they would call it something else if it was. Also agree that sprint is very late with nexus S and everyone is releasing allot better phones now then the nexus S. Examples are Galaxy S2, LG Optimus 2.
Thunderbolt=Evo with fat kickstand and upgraded rear camera......I don't see the the glaring greatness.....not to be crapping on your comment, man but I just don't see it......

LOL, hilarious on the Yoga thing!!! The upgrade, fortunately for me, is of no consequence. I've been with Sprint 10 yrs, so the plan cost requirement doesn't apply. Loyalty does pay off sometimes (and I do only mean "sometimes").
