Return for EVO 3D?

[DeCourseyyy]

And what happens when Evo3D will have same problems?

You mean what happens if the EVO 3D has the same problems...

Well I'll return it for a NS4G...simple as that.

The Evo has nothing that makes it better then the Nexus S. The Nexus S is the better device, and is spec wise.

Really!

Lets put this in sales record. Because these type of topics are SUBJECTIVE.

How is it subjective when the GPU in the Hummingbird has proven in benchmarks to be faster by a long shot then the Adreno 200 in the Snapdragon on the EVO. That alone makes the device better. To add.. The AMOLED screen kills the TFT screen on the EVO.

Nexus One in that video which houses the same chip as the EVO. But even then the Nexus One is a few frames faster then the EVO.

Let me rephrase it. Dual core is a waste right now. Gingerbread doesn't take advantage of it. By the time its built into android and being actively used I will most likely be upgrading to a newer phone.

I too loved WebOS but gave up on it mainly because of the serious lack of apps. WebOS was good, I liked synergy didn't like Pre and found Pixi too small of a screen size. But main reason was lack of apps, developer support

No dual core is not a waste right now. Have you seen any of the videos of the Evo 3D? They definitely took advantage of it. Places where our phone would stutter or even Tegra 2 devices would stutter, it's super smooth. Them putting their own skin on top of Android means they can do other optimizations to their skin to take advantage of different things and they definitely did.

It's not totally a waste... But Google has even said that both Froyo and GB did not utilize nor optimize dual-core CPU's. The only way they could be optimized is if that developer made it possible to use multi-threading in those apps. Even then multi-threading is not using true dual-core. It's like when Intel had the Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading. Made it think it was dual-core, but in reality wasn't and didn't perform even close to that of a dual-core CPU. The only apps that support this multi-threading is benchmarks and select games. So it is a waste currently, and until Android on the phones supports dual-core it's nothing special to have. Only Honeycomb on tablets supports this, so that is why it excels in dual-core operation.

Also with Sense, it is possible that they made the coding optimized for multi-threading. However again.. Since Android does not truly support dual-core, neither will Sense, because the underlying OS does not. It will just have multi-thread technology, which does help but isn't true dual-core performance. I have had hands-on with the EVO 3D myself and will say that it had many instances where it would slow-down. It also would crash, and certain things wouldn't work. Tested it at CTIA, then we got reports about 1 week ago still confirming it had software issues with crashing.

I just got off the phone with a Sprint tech about my 3G signal in my area but by the time they answered it was working again. Said I wanted a NS4G and I ask about NS4G signal issues, "haven't heard anything about that, but you can get an EVO 3D on June 4th" was the reply I got.

I dont really believe that though, it might have been initial launch date and I would be very surprised if it launches on the 4th. I have not seen any ads what so ever and no promotions other than the sprints site. I think it would be mid to late june, if earlier I would be surprised and happy for everyone who wants this phone.

Just thought I'd pass it along, I don't care one way or the other, I'm getting a NS4G. I thought it was weird because I didn't even ask about the EVO.
