Gizmodo has hardly anything nice to say about the evo 3d....i don't really care I'll be picking mine up on launch day anyway, but I just thought I would share with everyone else.
I noticed that, it's like everyone wants to complain about the 3d being ****ty while turning a blind eye to the raw power that is Evo 3D! You don't have to use 3d people!

The problem is that this is the first 3d phone. They aren't going to rate it that well. You can read the bias in some of the reviews and tell that they're overdoing it.
No the problem is Gizmodo are one of the biggest group of iPhone fanboys. Though I'm sure the newness of 3d isn't going to instantly wow anyone (until its on an iphone and its called innovation)
Very happy EVO 4G owner, but now after all these reviews, for sure waiting on the Sprint Galaxy S2 coming out end of July / early August, then will decide.
One of my beefs with the EVO-3D, is the gimmicky "3D" feature. I can give two ****s about 3D on my phone, would rather have seen HTC spent more development time in making it a thinner phone, while improving other features. And including the Green Hornet in 3D, and Spider Man 3D, who ****ing cares about that bull****, is that truly a selling point ? To who ?
I think HTC and Sprint dropped the ball a little here, they should have just made the EVO-2, and made it super bad ass specs to destroy the Galaxy S2, and should have tossed that "3D" idea in the trash for now.
Proud owner of my EVO 4G, but crying a little on the inside after reading lots of these reviews today.
Its funny how so many people here at xda have stated they could care less about 3D and would buy the phone without those capabilities while at the same time, the 3D feature is a HUGE focus point for reviewers. I could care less about the 3D, it will be fun to play with I'm sure, but its not a major concern for me in my decision to buy or not buy this phone.

Rumors says the iPad3 will be named the iPad-3D, no joke, and due out this holiday season.
Just you watch, these iPhone fanboy sites, will be rubbing their ***** in one hand, and holding the iTampon I mean iPad in the other, and say oh my God, this scores 11/10, the best device every created. They will say, oh my gosh, it has 3D, this is unbelievable, spooge spooge.

The 3d will be neat to mess with and see if development can make it better.. but even with bad reviews, I've never not seen a phone get better then it is at stock out of the box after groups like Cyanogen get their versions of Android on the phone.. I'm not stressing out, I will be waving to T-Mobile next Friday.

Most [H]ardcore geeks I know, don't want the EVO-3D for the "3D", they want is for being more of the EVO-2, or a next gen EVO, with double the spec's as the original and Sense 3.0
I wish reviewers, would look at the EVO-3D that way, step back away from the "3D" aspects of the phone, and just review based on much improved battery life...the cool updated Sense 3.0...and faster hardware with dual cores, more memory and RAM...and the higher res screen...Those updates are very worthy of a high review in my opinion.
The phone is a beast. 3D is cool I'll be happy to have it. 95% of reviews are b.s. buy what u want not what some guy u don't know says.

I just don't understand what spec isn't up to the highest level. I mean Yeh could use more internal memory but not a big deal with apps2sd. Camera its already proven 8,5 or 1.47838 doesn't matter as much as sensor ala iPhone. So people who says shouldn't have focused on 3d what spec would u raised the bar on and no saying quad core don't work tablets aren't even there.

3D is not important to me. I mean, I'll probably use it in the first month or so, but then I'll probably forget about it. That being said, I don't think it would be fair for any reviewer to disregard the 3D, as this phone is going to be the "trendsetter" for the niche. Just like the OG Evo was the trendsetter for large screens and kickstands.
I do believe, however, that the 3D feature should not be given as much weight during these reviews.
They did mention that it's FAST. But 3D hurt guy's eyes. Some people are more sensitive to these things than others. What I am after, is a solid phone and new Sense. (Sorry AOSP crowd, I like my pig with a professional makeup on)
I think all the reviews and people wanting the phone need to ask themselves would you buy this phone if there was no 3d?
I know I would buy it just because of the specs and sense update.... This is a definite upgrade from my og evo
The 3d is just icing on the cake....
And the whole experience of the phone isn't 3d.. Only 3d movies videos and pictures will be in 3d... Your normal day to day use of the phone (text, email, etc) isn't going to be in 3d...
And as someone else pointed out... As soon as an "i" whatever comes with 3d it will then be accepted...

$5 bucks says that if the phone did not have the 3D feature, or the 3D feature was not the headlining feature, it would have had better reviews across the board for all websites that examined the phone.
I understand people don't like the idea of 3D being "crammed" down their throats, but it's not like the phone is more expensive than lets say the Sensation. In fact it's cheaper.
Overall, its a huge spec bump (understatement) compared to the original evo.

Exactly, well said! You remove the 3D which will have limited use I don't care who you are. This thing will be insane. I'm a sense fan, so I'm looking forward to 3.0. Like what you like, but you remove the bloated monkey from this phonethis phone and it's going to be a while before another phone comes out that would be as fast or buttery smooth as this phone would be.
* this post was not intended to start the "Oh yeah the Photon.. Blah blah." Or "Well the GSII.. Blah blah blah"... So please lets not start it I can view that crap on any number of also non related threads around here.
The only one thing I don't get is people only concern themselves over the 3D but when it comes to its power they just say its fast. They even go so far as to say it never lags even slightly. But they all hate on the 3D so to me this phone is awesome to still get a 7/10 or 8/10 cause remove the 3D and those are all 9/10 or 10/10. I do want the 3D because I will have fun with it, but It is not the reason I am buying the EVO. Its the community and the specs and 'I' like the design as well. I just hope it doesn't bother my already F'ed up eyes.
I like how they call it a "Lightning Review" as in, "We don't give two ****s about this unless it says "Apple" on the back, so he's what our 5 min with the device looked like"
Hey I figured after all the negative commentary about the 3vo I would take a drive over to t mo and take a spin on the newly launched sensation..the sibling of the 3d..I for one was impressed..the screen looked great..the camera was very nice and one thing I noticed was it as buttery smooth.. scrolling was great..it loaded sites quickly and I enjoyed the new "thinner" form factor..for those who are wondering I do believe its worth an upgrade..I didn't like my phone as much after playing with it..so i know its a different phone but turn the evos 3d off and you basically have a sensation with more RAM and diff camera..don't let the negative reviews throw u off...I think its funny how reviewers are like "its a relatively powerful phone" what? Name a phone on the us market that's more powerful..guess what the gs2 isn't here yet and I think when it does drop it won't be the holy grail everyone thinks..
Stay strong evo lovers.. / rant
Check the new android central hands-on. He says the Evo 3d is a lot smoother than the sensation. Also he said after using the 3d he went back to use the sensation and was disappointed at the sensation's performance compared to the 3d
That would be great! See I dunno why all the negative reviews...being slammed for an extra feature (3d) shouldn't make reviewers act like its less than an echo

I see these reviews like I see Movie Reviews, they are not the users and I could care less about what they think. I can't count the number of movies I have enjoyed that got bad reviews.
Man all these bad reviewers are trying to protect the beloved iCrap. They won't even acknowledge iCloud and the notification feature in iOS 5 are Android ripoffs, fack them!
I played with the sesenation and it was awasome if the 3d is faster then its going to be crazy
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
well part of the problem that we will see with reviews of this device are going to be because of the 3d.. you either like 3d or you dont.. almost every negative comment that i have read has just been about the 3d portion.. so like it has been said it will basically be like with movies, just because 1 reviewer doesnt like 3d they are going to rate it like crap..
i personally am not into this device for the 3d, i have been waiting on a dual-core.. the 3d will be fun to play with potentially and dev for eventually..

People keep saying this, but why did the SGS2 get such high reviews if thats the case? Its time for folks to realize that not everything negative that was said about the phone is "hate." The screen and viewing angles definitely looked terrible compared to the GS2 as well as the web browsing and the pics. 3 out of the 5 reviewers complained about the call quality/volume. I mean is all of this a "coincidence?"

Speaking of which, here is a good comparison of the Sensation and the SGS2, a very real world comparison. Warning, its very long.
http://www.smartphonegurus.com/forums/topic/13554-mega-review-htc-sensation-v-samsung-galaxy-sii/
The only negatives the phone is receiving is those that pertain to the 3D screen which, as most of us know, can be disabled. I think they are bashing it just because its first, and will be judging its performance for myself on the 24th.

Thanks for that link as well
thanks for that link and that review was most excellent. I think this gives us a window into the Evo 3d's abilities and performance. Got mine pre-ordered and ready to go.
God I love my Evo and will hate to see it go but her big sister is sexier....lol
My roommate just got his Sensation yesterday. Nice handset! I don't like the rounded off shape of it though, but overall seems pretty nice. I was a little surprised on the lag it sometimes has just flicking around Sense. 1080p video recording on it is quite nice and the playback of what you recorded is awesome looking. I can't wait for my 3D, and I can't wait for the first opportunity to strip it of Sense as well. Even 3.0 doesn't attract me at all. AOSP all the way.
so the Sensation can record 1080p 2d but the Evo3d can't? yeah I think there will be an update that will let the evo3d record 1080p video

Agreed, it would be silly not to include it at some point lol
I'm blown away by 3D couple of times I played with the phone in sprint store. Before seeing 3D in action, I was leaning heavily towards SGS2. SGS2 is thinner, faster, has better camera, 1080p recording and I like Touchwiz better than sense.
But 3D is tilting my decision towards Evo 3D. 3D images are cool. More than cool, I believe it adds real value to an image. Looking at 2D photos, I can feel that I'm missing something.
That brings me to my real question -
As cool as 3D is, how practical is it? I mean, I can take 3D pictures and videos for my own sake. But one of the real pleasure of taking photos in a phone is to share in email/FB. But I can't send 3D images to any one unless they happen to own a Evo 3D as well. No one I know has 3D TV or monitors (neither do I). There are no 3D tablets/laptops (yet).
My concern is, if 3D is not practical and the only way to view the photos taken in the phone is in the phone itself, I think after couple of months, I'll stop using 3D altogether and start regretting that I got this phone instead of SGS2.
What is your opinion? Is 3D a real useful feature or is it a gimmick/fad that you think you'll stop using after the honeymoon period?
If you take it in 3d its not stuck in 3d..
EVO was first with front camera and 4G now everybody is doing it..
I expect the same to happen with 3d, the tech is getting better and once these old people that only remember there terrible 3d from the 70's go away then adoption will boom
But i digress

The evo 3d is stereoscopic, right? I think it's mostly a gimmick, and the situation you described in the op are probably correct. Plus, the 3d function on my 3ds has already gotten a bit old. It can give headaches too.

I had to share this one. Really shows how good this 3D can be.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StD8W9v5FaI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I'd say honestly that the 3D may seem gimmicky but honestly it's a nice feature to have. I honestly hardly use my camera. I rarely did on my evo, I rarely did on my epic. I'll probably rarely use it on my 3vo but the parallax screen function of the phone makes watching videos fun. Knowing that I have a camera that does 3D might inspire me to put more use into it. The 3D world has just been blown open thanks to HTC and also thanks to youtube for making it so easy to share the content.
I think that while I may hardly use my camera I will definitely be quick to snap up anything that seems nice and serene just for the sake of being able to share the experience in a more vivid way.
I would say be a part of the rEVOlution and get yourself the 3vo.
Hopefully other makers will start incorporating the parallax technology even if they don't offer the 3d cameras because there is a lot to be seen here.
A front facing camera was a gimmick till everyone had one. Putting 3D capability in more hands will make it more of a necessity than a gimmick. How many people out there wish they could watch 3D content but cant afford an expensive 3DTV? I paid $61 for my phone. If the technology is readily available for anyone it will catch on and at $199 or less it doesnt get more readily available than that. So much content is going to be uploaded of the next few weeks and months from this particular handset it will blow your mind. IMHO, it catches on in a big way.
3D is mostly useful when photographing members of the Handsome Boy Modelling School.
3d is great.. And the 3VO is actually faster than the SGS2 most of the time.. Or the same speed in some cases
How useful is it? 100% pointless. Very few people (relatively speaking) that you will be able to share them with with out handing them your phone. That was fun at 1st by the way. already 2 days in I'm sick of letting other hold her.
With that being said once more people get on board with 3D and I really do believe the will for TV and phones. Then it will be "useful".
How cool is 3d? Phenomenal! havent even taken a 2D video, or picture yet.
Not a gimmick just a gigantic 3D Cherry on top of your evo sunday.

thats about the coolest thing i've seen, wow
Sure, I know exactly what you're saying. Once the novelty wears off you have to be left with a device that is practical or great for everyday stuff.
If you plan on rooting, you may want to take into account the amount and types of developers that are active for each device. That's what kept me interested in the Evo 4g for the past year.
Honestly, for me, I know the 3D novelty will wear off pretty quick. But I prefer sense so I stick with HTC.
3d pictures are ok. The picture needs some setting up to be really good, I think... But watch some 3d stereoscopic videos on youtube. There are some bad ones, but there are some where the effect is very impressive. There was a ocean circus one that was very cool (can't post a link...)
I love the 3D pictures. Much better than I expected.

Well some loves 3D (as me) and some don`t like 3D!
I have a 3D Projector and monitor. Can`t wait until there will be a GSM version for Europe!
I find the 3D very good. I am golf professional and today instead of using my normal camera to tap my lessons I used my camera so I could show them a full 3d playback of there swing. now only if it was about 3000 images a second I would be happy. That is what my High speed camera does.
Also I'm not for one to drop 800-4000 on a TV. So at $160 it is well worth it.
The atrix I bought with laptop dock is unlocked and running Alien, faux1.3, custom cemetery, and was planing on putting ubuntu for my webtop experience but I was chatting with an att rep. And he wiped out the thrill 3d at first I was like oh a rip off of infuse but he showed me all the 3d goodness and let me play nova 3d I was quit impress.
My question is im still under best buys 30 day with 20 sumthin days left SHOULD I TRADE MY ATRIX AND GET LG THRILL I wont have laptop dock since I bought it with my lovely phone I love my Trix but I loved the demo I has with the thrill...

Have Atrix now for about 3 Months. Longer I have it, the more I like it. Tried out Thrill @ AT&T a few times. About 3 hours total. Ran Quadrant & Smartbench on both, Thrill about 10% faster, prob because of Multi-Channel CPU & RAM. Fast & smooth. Also ran Linpack, 44MFLOPS on Atrix & 69MFLOPS on Thrill. Screen brightness & extreme angle visibility about the same. A little heavier & bigger, but not much. So if u want to try out 3D & have a little bigger screen, then Thrill may b for u. FreddieBoy
I think it really depends on what you want. If 3D does it for you, you will want the Thrill. Personally I wouldn't give up my Atrix unless something really special came along. I believe the Atrix is a more "mature" phone if you catch my drift, while most other phones I consider to be "toys". The Atrix isn't full of gimmicky sh*t, and the hardware hasn't really been tapped into yet to show it's full capabilities, so it will only get better.

Played with a thrill in a store for a while yesterday. Screens cool and 3D is neat but hurt the **** out of my eyes after a few minutes. 2D regular pics were kinda crappy and 3d stuff isn't viewable right off of phone. (3D pics show as 2 side by side images on a computer). Needless to say I bought an ATRIX instead of waiting till Sunday for a Thrill. Cool idea but it wasn't great. Nice gimmick more than anything.

I hav had the thrill for a week and im returning it for the atrix. The 3d is kool but not a selling point. it is fast with the dual channel but it tends to run out of memory pretty quick. I have noticed that the lg stock ui is worst then moto blur. When changing the ui to launcher pro did notice the phone was faster. ONce it is rooted and has cm7 running will be a great phone. Once I heard Lg will be releasing a better version at the bigging of the year decided i should go with the atrix. The battery life is really bad. If yuo use the 3d the battery just goes. i get about 3 to 4 hrs with nomal use and 3d. I would stick with the atrix personally but then again it is your hone so your decision. You still have days left so try it out for a week and see if it makes your day. Im getting 2800 on quadrant and 72 on linpack with the thrill

I'm pretty sure the thrill uses the same style 3D as the new Nintendo 3Ds. Case in point the 3Ds is having horrible sales ( that's why the price went from $250 to like $170 so fast) because it's making a lot of people nauseous (I played one at BB and it was not good lol)
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Are we talking about the phone that I have? Because the 3D the Thrill uses is true stereoscopic 3D at 1080p. Which is why you can shoot a video with the thing, DLNA it over to your *insert brand here* 3D TV and look like what those TVs are intended to display 3D in.
The 3Ds is having crappy sales because Nintendo was grasping at straws to try to keep people buying there crap. It is aweful 3D. At launch it already had a warning to parents to not let kids under five use it for the "potential" sight impairments as they got older. LOL! This is not the Thrill's kind of 3D. The 3Ds was a gimmick for that system.
Understand, I am not targeting anyone specifically with my post but with a phone like this you have to spend more than a few hours in a store with the device to get an idea what's up. I was a manager at a Best Buy location as the mobile manager and moved to manage home theatre.
What I am getting at is I was there long enough to see customers reactions to the first 3D TVs. Like you we kept hearing the whole 3D TV is a gimmick I will wait and see what happens. It is not new technology. It is older technology that had great potential that was waiting for the technology of other devices i.e. hardware, to catch up to its capabilities.
So we go from the big screen at the theatre, to the TV in your living room, to now being available on a cell phone. The Optimus 2x and the Thrill are smokin' fast phones the first to have stereoscopic 3D. The EVO 3D, well I was disappointed with that but its still a decent phone. The Thrill and the others coming will be glitchy and have a few downsides because they are the frontrunners. Honestly, I was not expecting LG to put a phone out like this and have a launch as smooth as its been. The phone is very fast that is not a real argument. The battery life does suck but after enough forum trolling and watching threads and posting etc. I am surprised that we got someone like DesignGears out the gate, reluctantly mind you, LOL but still going after it to start some real development on this device. I found after trying a few apps. and such that I had forgotten about the SuperPower app. made by some of the guys here at XDA. After jacking with how to set SuperPower up on the new beta version I think its like v8 or something; I waited until the battery was at less than 20%. Then did a full uninterrupted charge to 100%. Kicked off SuperPower, unplugged the beast to see what's up. Well that was 9 hours ago. I am sitting at 73% battery left. I have been doing 3D gaming, downloads from the market, music downloads, posts here, and some calls and a crap ton of texts. So I think we are good on the battery. Respectable anyway.
Not to be Captain Obvious but the phone is rooted too. All I am saying is this phone has a tremendous amount of untapped potential that is begging to be unleashed. There is nothing about this phone that says, "gimmick" to me. This phone says I have more power than is necessary in a cell phone but won't be unhappy if you really let me fly.
Get one and really dive into the thing for a week and if you still feel the same about then you can slap me twice and call me Sally. Then go straight to a Best Buy Mobile or where ever you got it and say it was installed with a flux capacitor from the factory by mistake and you want an Atrix instead. Sorry for the wall of text everyone but I don't usually post very often but I had to here. I would hate to see someone miss out on solid technology like the Thrill 4G.

Is this phone any good

Since you are asking in a forum for the phone you will get a biased answer of yes. I had the 4g, traded up for the 3D, broke my 3D, bought the photon 4g, 5 days later sold it via Ebay, bought parts to fix the 3D, and have loved using it ever since. There will be phones coming out that perform better, but the gig of ram and processor is capable of overclock, so it is real fast.
The 3D is a fun phone and I think you will enjoy it...It has its small issues at times but the phone is still very much enjoyable.

you will never regret it,the best phone super fast!
You will love it!
No. This phone sucks. I'm tired of it being one of the fastet phones out there. It needs to slow down and stay sub par. Its vibrant screen needs to be less crisp so that my eyes can start squinting more since it's getting lazy. It's 3D capable picture capture and video is worthless. I mean, who goes to the movies and watches that stuff, let alone buy a big screen tv that does it too. Its 1080p playing ability is below expectation. If it can't play 4k videos, why is it even sold! The battery life is horrendous. I turned it on fully charged and once it finished booting, it turned off saying low battery!! Why can't it be like my clam shell phone that doesn't have any features and can be off the charger for weeks?! And let's not mention the dev support. This phone has been out for such a short time, and they haven't even made it light-speed capable like some other phones. What da deuce!?
I'm just saying. I have a different phone and love to comment on other phone forums since I think I'm doing the people a service to let them know they got robbed. If you want the best, get a Samsung 4K IDB Extreme. That's were it's at.
PS. I love this phone. It's hardware capabilities will last me a lot longer than my awesome Hero did (RIP). You'll love this phone. It has served me well, and continues to surprise me.
