Um... So why all the hate for this phone?

You can have both design and function (specs). It's not an either/or choice.

I never said you can't.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But, again, what is the virtue in wanting the adoration of shallow people who would judge you based on the "sexiness" of your phone?
 
You misunderstand me and make huge assumptions as to my meaning. I never said anything about judging a person off the looks of their phone or car. I just said people care about the way their possessions look. Like someone else said here, if it was only offered in pink would you care? how about some hello kitty engravings? I like the things I spend money on to be nice. I wash and wax my car even though it doesn't affect the actual performance because I want my things to look nice and not run down.

But your categorization of this phone as not being nice is purely subjective.

I showed the photos of the new Evo to several people at work who really liked the design.

They like nice things, too.

Wow, and again making huge assumptions. Very nice. Wanting your things to be nice or fit within your tastes has absolutely nothing to do with "wanting the adoration of shallow people." You seem to be the one doing all the judging of other people right now.

Okay, show them those pictures side by side with the One X. That's the point people are making. I understand it's subjective, but some design is more popular than others. Ask 100 people if they want a Ferrarri or a boxy car with all the same features, and I'm pretty sure most will take the Ferrarri. I haven't seen more than a few handfuls of people so far that will honestly say the new EVO has a better appearance than the One X.

No one has said it's not a nice phone. We're comparing it to the One X on which it is based. That's not being shallow. Almost everyone agrees.

Oh, the irony is so thick here, you need a million chainsaws to cut it.
 
Not saying much. THe 3D was absolute trash in my opinion, lol. I walked into the store, picked it up, messed with it for a few, put it down, and walked out. Never even though about it again. This phone definitely has a lot of great things, but there are a few head scratchers in there and the design is one of them

As someone who has both I can tell you that you are wrong there. The processor, the screen, the memory, updated Sense, dedicated camera button, bigger battery - it was a massive upgrade to an already great device. The 3D feature aside (I personally dig it, some people don't, I know) the camera was still pretty good. Not any worse than the EVO, based on the hundreds of pics I've taken with both. I liked the feel of the 3D. It wasn't flimsy plastic. I need that because of the environments I work in and the machinery I am around sometimes. The EVO was a beefy beast and the 3D was a rock solid build as well. I do think the new one is much further ahead of the 3D than the 3D was to the EVO, though. Although... we'll see how ICS runs on the 3D.
 
I have put a case on every phone i have owned so i dont care what the back looks like this phone is a beast can't wait till its released

Yeah, plus I would probably put a case on this thing before anything else so I won't scratch that camera lense.

Trash was a bit harsh of me. I was very disappointed I guess I would say. There was absolutely no draw for me

This is great! I had one of these last night, 'round midnight. It spilled over to this morning. Me and another guy just had a couple of really long ones between us, but these quick hits are more fun to watch.

Isn't about time for you guys to bring each others family tree into this?
:D

I believe that even if the phone was exactly like the "One X," they would find some other fault with it.

Example: why is it like that? It should have looked like this? I can't believe they made it with that? They didn't include this?

The EVO 4G LTE is a beautiful device, and should be accepted for what it is. People, get over it - the EVO 4G LTE is not the HTC One X.

I agree with this. I wanted to upgrade to the 3D but was not eligible, my 2yr contract is just about to be over.

A bit OT, but have you rooted your phone? I'm running ICS on my 4G and it runs just fine, so on the 3D it'll be even better.

That's right punk! You better step off! Don't be bashin' my choice of phones! LOL

I get it. It wasn't everyone's cup of tea. Neither will this new one be. But at least we'll always have the forums to beat each other up in.

It's just a phone, of course people will get over it. Not like there's anything we can do about it. It's less than a day old, that's why there's so much discussion.

Off topic? Nothing is off topic today, my friend.

I haven't rooted. I honestly don't mind stock on this thing. I did with my EVO and played around with it a bit. Put GB on it early and liked it. I am hoping that the Sense 3.6 coming w/ the ICS update helps the new OS run smooth. I will say that it was a huge performance upgrade from the OG EVO. For me, anyway. And I do consider myself a very, very heavy user.

Not that I'm fat or anything.

I wouldn't say trash but it wasn't a game changer like the EVO 4g was. I had it for a week and returned it. It did nothing for me. It's a good phone but it didn't knock me out like the EVO did.

Ran stock on my 4G for >6 months, honestly should have rooted earlier. I now get ~2 days on charge which was unthinkable before.

If you buy the 4G LTE, you should write a detailed comparison of all 3 phones incl Sense versions, since you are one of the few people who've owned all 3.

I absolutely will because I know that I'm getting this damn thing and it makes me mad, but I'm a sucker for an EVO (that doesn't include the Design or the Shift). I've really been looking at everything I possibly can today and, like a fungus, this thing is starting to grow on me. Especially after I read/watched this. I know the full write up on Android Central will be fantastic because, well, it always is and Phil kicks ass. Jerry, on the other hand, is a little shady because he got those official photos up in about 3 seconds and I think he might have been sitting on them for awhile...:D But this was a nice treat to tide me over. Found this link in another thread earlier but can't remember who to give the credit to. Sorry.
