Returning Evo 3D for new Sprint Motorola Photon 4G? Compare.

[CHILLYWILL_95831]

I first want to say that I was a previous palm pre user and as don as I read the reviews for the touchpad, I quit Palm and HP. When that touchpad hit like a dud, then I knew HP didn't give a damn about webos hardware. I bought my 3vo on July 2nd and haven't looked back. To be honest, this phone is just awesome! You always want to check out the n new stuff because its nice and shiny, but the photon can't half a candle to this 3vo. I tried it our in the store but just wasn't impressed and I used to love moto back in the day! They always had the best reception, but my Evo is flawless, incredible actually!

Outside of the 3D features, what can the 3VO do that can't be done on the Photon?

I don't think he was comparing feature to feature. He bought the 3VO loves it and doesn't feel bad about not owning a Photon. I think that's it really. I could be wrong though.

That's how I interpreted it as well.

while I agree with the above two people, there is a few things that the evo3d can do right out of the box that the photon can't. my top favorit is when you want to pick one of the web pages that you already have opened. on the photon you only see a list of what you can open, on the evo3d you can view all the pages and tap one to pick it. no big deal, but far more pretty and practical.

I was just curious, that's all.

Cool, I also went to my Sprint store to check it out. First thing that caught my attention was the screen, I was sort of turned off after that. No matter what else it had, I couldn't get past the screen. For me it was a dealbreaker.

Understandable. I've noticed the degree of graininess varies widely per phone. Luckily, I don't notice it at all on mine. ;-)

Same here. The screen is something you see and interact with each time you use the phone. After being exposed to the EVO 3D screen I personally cannot imagine going back. Another feature that does it for me on the 3D is the mhl. It makes the phone a mini media center. I can plug right in to a friend's tv and share pictures and home videos, browse to YouTube right there and play videos, stream music, watch movies, browse the web, you name it. I use this feature more than I ever anticipated I would. I initially thought I would play with it here and there and be done with it.

Ultimately it boils down to what features one wants. For a more business oriented person who does a lot of traveling outside the country the Photon is great. For some the screen isn't an issue and that is OK and a matter of individual priority and preference. Imho, if you use your phone more for social networking and entertainment then the EVO 3D fits the bill. I have a phone assigned to me for work so the EVO 3D is all play for me!
