Hello everyone!

My name is Magic (yes, I'm being serious) and I go by Zadias! I am a 17 year old high school nerd who loves playing video games and skating. I have a LOVE for technology, especially mobile, but for the past year I have been deprived of speedy greatness, as I have been using my Sprint Palm Pixi.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore WebOS, but with the previous broken promises and lack of response on whether or not Sprint will have the next flagship WebOS phone, I decided I'm going to have to jump ship on the OS. Who knows? Maybe two years from now Sprint might get their ducks in a row and realize WebOS and it's greatness!

After reading around and taking note of other mobile operating platforms, the optimal choice in my eyes would be Android OS. I like Android OS because I like Google. Haha, just kidding, I'm not jumping on a bandwagon just because of a companies success! If I did I'd be getting an iPhone (ew). The reason I chose Android OS over iOS is because.. well.. frankly... the iOS UI is ****. There's only one option for a mobile phone, the iPhone form factor, take it or leave it. There's also the pain in not being able to customize your phone to its fullest potential without jail-breaking it. Android OS has everything I want, even though it may be lacking in the fields of Multitasking (compared to WebOS), it is still something I can live with.

Ah now the phone. The HTC EVO 3D. Well. Dual core. Sense 3.0. Gingerbread. qHD resolution. 3D (more of a gimmick, whatever). and the name "HTC".

How can you go wrong choosing the EVO 3D?

The battery life may be **** on the EVO 3D but mind you; I lived with a Sprint Palm Pixi, overclocked at 800MHz (it's 600~MHz factory clocked). I carried around a spare battery and my charger in my bag at all times. This didn't seem much of a pain in the ass to me to be honest, so I'm willing to live with an EVO 3D and whatever I get as its battery life.


Wow that's a lot I've written.

TL;DR 17 year old, North VA, gamer, skater, nerd, ex-WebOS, getting HTC EVO 3D.
I've never really had an Android phone. I'm considering learning how to develop over the summer.

Hello!
 
Welcome to A.C. and congrats on your soon-to-be device!

Definitely a nice device, but remember when watching the 3D videos to always look at it from straight on and not from the sides or up and down.

The 3D part isn't really a gimmick, at least for this phone. It's just an extra if you want it, but for me, everything else on the device was what I was enjoying as I'm not a fan of 3D. I will more than likely get this the Monday after it is released.
