I recall picture comparisons, but can't find the link right off.
Thanks! I'm in a meeting break, full web on phone, didn't think to scroll up.

Okay, sorry, I mistook something you said about the bezel being wider. But the point holds -- if you don't know if the 3D is narrower than the 4G or not (even though there are hands on reports that says just that) then why are you saying it's the same width?
Note that the specs list the width and thickness in tenths of inches, which means there could be 1-2mm difference and still have the same measure to tenths of inches on paper.
ETA: funny how those pictures are missing the two stacked on top of each other.
I've been reading up on the HTC Sensation since it was announced, and in two different articles I've read that only 1gb of the 4gb internal memory is "user accessible." Assuming this will be the same on the e3d since it also runs sense 3.0, doesn't this seem a like it may not be enough? The samsung galaxy s2 is listed as having 16gb of internal memory, so just 1gb seems like a major oversight on HTC's part. This is also the only issue I had with the evo 4g, not enough internal storage for apps (without rooting, of course.)

3D will have 1GB of RAM and 4GB of ROM plus SD Card which can do up to 32GB. Seems like plenty to me.
Yes, but if only 1gb of rom is user accessible, that means only 1gb is usable too store apps and such. Since not all apps can use apps2sd, this seems a little limited, especially compared to the competition. Of course external storage won't be a problem since its expandable. I wasn't referring to ram.

You're comparing the capabilities of the Sensation to that of the EVO 3D. I'm extremely confident 4GB of ROM will be accessible on the 3D
That's what I'm hoping, but since sense seems like it has added quite a few features this time around, and with all the 3d content that will surely come bundled, I'm a little skeptical. Although, I think I remember bluescreen saying the e3d will come with a unicorn that can be used as internal storage.

EVO is in final Rev. Only thing were working out at the moment if EVO will launch @ 1.5Ghz or not. Hulu is having a hard time committing at launch because of Microsoft. Microsoft wants Hulu on xbox360. Hulu is worried if they can support xbox and android with out increasing there server farm. Hulu has been aggressive in expanding there servers capacity. Right now it is looking promising that Hulu will be a key announcement for EVO 3D at Sprints launch event. Netflix is scheduled to be announced as well. That is latest news and the rest is still TBD ATM.

You're still posting?
Netflix is pretty much a no-brainer, and if Hulu is serious about competing with Netflix, they would do well to launch on as many devices as possible too.
At best, all you do is post conjecture which any well-reasoned individual would find logical and probable.
At worst, you post a bunch of crap that further makes you appear to be a troll starved for some sort of fantasy life in which you are an EVO 3D Oracle sent to guide us from the mighty Zeus/Odin/Dan Hesse.

Logical and probable? Conjecture? Forgot to add a crown of thorns and last meal there Judas. There is nothing probable, logical, or conjecture about Hulu or Netflix being announced at EVO 3D launch event. Since you put on the hat of Oracle and already new that Netflix and Hulu was going to be announced at EVO 3D launch event. Judas why don't you tell me when the launch date for EVO 3D is? You don't know do you Judas? I will be posting it May 2nd.

May 2nd? Why don't you just post it now?

Hmm, name calling.
A response like this (mine included) is likely going to get moderated, not to mention gives you even less credibility than you already have. Given all your positions of prestige (VP of this and that), the name calling just doesn't fit the picture you've painted of yourself in the past.
IF he is truthful...
and all the harassment he has received...
i doubt anyone... can keep a cool head.

He has no obligation to any of us to share the info that he does. If he feels he's not appreciated, he can stop sharing. Cool head really isn't relevant. There's some easy steps he could take that could end all doubt and therefore end all harrassment.
Posting on these forums is voluntary. It's not a job. If I feel I'm having a shitty experience, I'm just going to leave. See now why the name calling really removes what little credibility he has?

I've been taking a hard look at the hands-on videos lately, especially those videos where it;s clear the camera taking it was recording at high framerate (60fps). Evo is damn smooth and near 60fps.
Whatever issues HTC had with Evo fps have been completely eliminated. And no, the FPS unlock fix did not bring the Evo's OS animations to 50+ FPS. At best, a clean ROM with non-Sense launcher could hit 30FPS. Pinch to zoom rendering, web page scrolling, etc is still choppy on Evo. Chalking it up to weaker processor. New Evo isn't going to have that problem.
It looks just as smooth as my wife's iPhone and my mom's iPad. That is really going to give Evo 3D the polish that it needs to sway the more aesthetically-oriented smartphone users out there.

Ignoring a mod warning nets severe penalties.
BlueScreen may post starting after this time on May 5.
And that's the issue I've had with people calling him names.
And I've warned against it.
Da Rules are blind, and cut both ways - let's all please be polite.
This will sort itself out - and to a large extent, already has.
Meanwhile - warnings and infractions have been applied fairly.
rules are rules..
but may 5 sucks for him..
because on may 2 ... if he post a date before it is announced. and it turns out to be true... that helps with his credit.
he might have to wait till may 2 because of contractual restrictions.
if he is real.
but.. to bad...
