Really Cool

I really think this phone is nice. Its screen is pretty good especially in the dark. camera quality is extremley nice and i enjoyed the video quality as well. Battery life isnt the best but its still ok to me (If u put it in airplane mode when not using data its battery life dramatically improves). reception is good plus 4g is really fast! phone calls come in clear and the EVO is pretty durable(dropped it face first a few times and not even a scratch).All in all its one of the best phones sprint has...

worst sprint phone EVER
lynn.c10 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
My HTC Evo 3D replaced my old and worn 4G EVO. At first, it was exactly what i was looking for... a phone with a longer battery life. i was extremley pleased with my new for the first couple of weeks been then the problems started to arise. The phone kept giving me these weird messages system faild and all kinds of weird things. i couldnt txt, couldnt take pictures, couldnt look at my contacts and couldnt use ANY program or app on my phone!!! All i could do was answer phone calls. i must say, i have never been more disappointed in my LIFE. This has occured 4 times in the past year that ive owned this device. but last friday i experienced a problem that sent me over the edge, and nearly drove me mad... The phone began to randomly call people txt people and start applications on its own. i was terrified. when i troed to send txt messages my letter A, L T and my ?,! and & would not function properly. then the phone began to freeze and do a number of other displeasing functions. Today i went to sprint and orderd my Motorola PHOTON 4G. i didnt care what i had to do to get rid of that dissapointing device.to any one who is looking ino this phone i would highly encourage you to think twice about your decision. i promise you will be disappointed and be left unhappy. Although the hone itself is quite attractive dont let its looks deceive you.

Best phone on the market
Cwebb has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
Its looks gorgeous, it has a brillant screen in 2d and 3d that's second to none at the moment. Sense makes this phone even better, and the build quality is amazing, even though a little bit thick and heavy, but you want that in a premium phone. The design is great also. The 3d may not be for everyone, but I personally like it. But the good thing to know is that it's the best smartphone on the market bar none, even without the 3d that makes it even better

I think that the biggest turn off was the screen, the colors were dull and the screen wasn't bright at all, it was difficult viewing the phone in the sunlight. I also hated the look of the phone (something I think HTC still needs to improve on) as well as it's bulky form! I'd easily take the Galaxy S II over the Evo 3D.

Sorry guys...I am on another planet then most of you. This phone is from HELL!!!
GoBruins has owned it for less then month before publishing this review
I had this phone for 30 days..it magically, without my involvement, rebooted and placed calls. I did a hard reset. ok for about 10 days...then I had no text messaging capabilities. Hard reset again (both times at the Sprint store). The next day when my battery ran out after 5 or so hours and shut down, I no longer had phone call capabilities. Sprint Android Tech rep, told me to go by a Motorola Photon. That the HTC 4G was their highest call volume phone followed by the EVO 3D in regards to the # of problems. I was told that even though the Photon was only a week old, that she had received not one call on the phone yet....that says alot...she said. I traded my EVO 3D in for the Photon and have been happy every since. I have no cool 3D but I have a kickstand and a phone that works and what is also cool is that I do not have to put up with that Construction Design flaw of the external speaker on the EVO 3D. It is different than the 4G in that there is no cavity for the sound to from. The 3D has to resonate around the camara lens and flash system thus producing a "tinny" and baffled sound....nothing can be done to fix this issue!
The HotSpot was never consistant.....

Overall A GREAT PHONE SICK SPECS
SuperAndroidEvo has owned it for less then 3 months before publishing this review
This phone has TONS of potential. I have rooted the device & I am waiting for the ROMS to come out of the bakery! The only weakness is the 2D camera speed. It takes great pictures when everyone or thing is perfectly still. The speed of the camera is slow so it makes the pictures blurry if there is any slight movement. The 3D camera is something that is just so cool. I love that I can take 3D pictures & others can't. People all love & think my phone is sick because of the 3D!

I've had this phone for about a month now and I love it! The battery life is amazing. It lasts through the whole day with me and if you're not a heavy phone user the battery only needs to be charged every 2-3 days. With heavy usage it's lasted me around 9.5 hours!

Awesome phone

Goodbye Apple, my iphone and ATT really started to let me down. Picked this up as it's one of the few flagship phones out that's somewhat future proof. Was worried about sprint's service and both sprint and the evo 3d have been great.
Phone is so much better than my iphone. Was a little worried about it being a little buggy but so far has worked smoother than my iphone. I use it throughout the day to conduct research on the internet, sync email to my exchange server, navigate to clients and ocasionally listen to music. As I run my business off it it stays fairly busy. Battery easily lasts all day which is more than I can say for my iphone.
Only con is sprints data needs to be faster in my area as they don't offer much of any 4G.Build quality 10/10

Best phone I've owned, period. I've had quite a few Android phones the last few years, yes I have a problem. But this phone is just fantastic. It's the first one that I finally thought was as smooth and lag free like an iPhone, and this one does it while having things to customize unlike the iPhone. I would highly recommend this phone.

I still have my old EVO, and even with its many bugs I stood by it devoutly. I switches to the 3d even though everything I "need" a phone to do was available on the 4G. I am still a happy camper and more than excited to own this device. Still a few bugs but they're minuscule in nature and I'm sure will be fixed with a new update. I love you EVO!

So I have had this phone for about 2 weeks now (premier customer) and I am surprised at what it can do everyday. The 3D is absolutely amazing. The thing that stunned me the most is the battery I can get through a whole day with normal use (yes this includes downloading apps and looking stuff up on the internet). This is a must buy. This is most likely the best phone in the United States right now and it definitely a huge step up from the EVO 4G!

Had the phone for about a week (sprint premier pre-order). Overall build quality is amazing. Feels sturdy and strong in hand. No Dropped Calls. 3D camera is actually cool, not just a gimmick. Sense 3.0 is smooth, no lag. Display is gorgeous, improvement over the Evo 4G. Same with the battery, able to actually enjoy the phone without having to worry about the battery life. Included Green Hornet is great. Wish that Android 2.3 took full advantage of the dual core 1.2 processor, Android 2.4 will have complete dual core capability, and this phone will be even more amazing. Wish the kickstand was still there, did order a seidio case and holster, case does have a built-in kickstand.

I'll admit that I was hesitant to purchase this phone at first because of the 3D. But the feature is actually really neat. Everyone I show it to "oohs and ahhs!" The picture quality of the 2D is better in my opinion than the EVO 4G. Everything for that matter is leaps and bounds over the 4G. I am very happy!

WOW!
Performer has owned it for less then month before publishing this review
Each year HTC raises it's own bar. This year they set it way up there! Of course the 3D display is amazing. I can;t see much practical purpose it has in the business world but it's still great to brag about it for the time being. Screen quality is supurb vs. my previous EVO which wasn't bad to begin with. YEs, not quite iPhone4 but still one of the best out there. Speed wise it's head and shoulders about it's older brother. You can see the difference that the dual-core 1.2 ghz processor makes. No lag time at all opening up apps and running seberal at the same time. The new HTC Sense interface will take some getting used to. The carousel spin can get you a little dizzy and is quite sensitive. Not sure I like it as much as the reverse-pinch from before. I may just need time to get used to it. The only thing I can complain about it the kickstand. I liked it on the EVO 4G and used it often. Why HTC didn't keep that feature is beyond me. Oh well. Jury's still out on the increased capacity battery. I need to put the phone though it's paces for a while to see how it works. Overall I'd say a solid 9.5 so far. We'll se in a few months if that holds up!
