Do you consider 3D a novelty?

I definitely do but to be honest it's a novelty that's more than worth it in my book.

How many of you bought this phone for the 3D ability and how many had a different reason all together?

I got mine for the 3D and dual core. =]
 
I've been shooting stereoscopic slide film on a vintage 3D Kodak camera... so no, it is not a novelty. I think it'll be very cool to share pics and videos of some nice scenes.
 
Not even a consideration for me. I have a 3D television too. Watched MAYBE 5 3D movies on it in the last year. I didn't pay a huge premium for the 3D capability so it's not an issue. Same with the phone. Given it's capabilities I don't think there's much of premium for it's 3D capability. Much more interested in the dual core and native ICS.

When the evo 3d came out I rejected it then for the 3d and contract before getting the OV.. Having it and using it now ppl are asking me to take their picture in 3 d :) I Paid $357 total with minimum time for this handset..

Having ppl think it's cool and relevant,, PRICELESS!!
 
I'm probably one of those who like to have a 3D device. I own a slr, so never take a photo with my MT either any smart phone. But with the 3D, it is going to be a different experience. Beside that I'm having trouble with the MT lately, it's a good time to get a better phone anyway. :)
 
It's a nice to have, not a deciding factor. I do like the way that the "evo eye" looks though. I wasn't even swayed by the wimax. The only only reason I got the phone was because it was a quality product that I needed
 
I think the 3d feature is really cool, but definitely not what sold me on the phone. I was on Verizon, with a Droid 3, and this phone caught my eye. A high end smartphone for $45 a month....no brainer!
 
I bought this phone more for its high end specs rather than the 3d, however after using it I think it's pretty cool. Weird thing is that when I view pictures it seems like I'm looking into the phone for depth however when viewing video it literally does appear like the objects are coming out of the screen towards you. Pretty wild, didn't think that it would work that well.
 
Novelty, yes. I showed it to 3 or 4 people at work and they nearly tossed their cookies trying to focus on it. I believe it's the processing power that can drive the 3D in which I was most interested.

I've ended up recording and taking multiple 3D moments. Never thought I'd enjoy it so much. I've actually become very appreciative for this function.

The videos really are something else aren't they? XD
 
I've grabbed a couple of movies from online... 3D in MP4 format... Just was watching Captain America. The depth is absolutely amazing. Great quality display. Will take some pics and videos this weekend, when I'm down in the city [Pittsburgh, PA] to see Girl Talk.
 
Although I don't have this phone and I shouldn't compare it to a handheld gaming device...the 3D on my Nintendo 3DS is a nice feature even though I don't use it much
 
I am loving the 3D! I just wish there was a 3d hdr app!.
I have also converted several 3d movies and they look very good on the phone.
