I am still happy with my Evo 3D. However, if I could pick an Android right now I would go with the Galaxy Nexus. When I got my Evo 3D I was in a pinch. My old phone was pretty much dying & I had to make a decision. While I am happy with my Evo 3D I wish I could have waited just a little longer for the Galaxy Nexus.
Some Criticism:
- I loved Sense at first but now it seems like a hassle. I'm not a root user so I'm stuck with it.
- I'm disappointed that a lot of HTC phones are going to get ICS before us. That's annoying since the Evo3D was a "flagship" phone.
- Another thing that bothers me is that that our phones are sub-HD. After I bought my phone a lot of 720p phones immediately showed up. I must admit; I felt slighted.
- More than anything I am disappointed in the Camera. The shutter is so so so slow! The pictures are always blurry if there is any movement at all. Also if I don't have natural light the photos are tinged yellow/orange.
- It's not really HTCs fault, but the #1 thing that bothers me about my phone is that Sprint sold me a WiMax phone in a large city (Phoenix) without WiMax & now they're switching to LTE. Thus, making my phone's "4G" useless until I buy a new phone since they will not be expanding WiMax any longer. I wish I had gone with Verizon as their 4G is well established in Phoenix. (My next upgrade will be with Verizon. I'm done playing Sprint's game with 4G promises.)
Things I love that make everything above worthwhile:
- I just love the big beautiful display on my Evo 3D. I can't imagine going with anything smaller for screen size.
- I love how fast and responsive it is and how it runs everything I need it to run, and quickly.
- I love how bright the diplay is too & the assortment of Apps that I have access to.
- The 3D is a cool feature to show my friends but nothing I use on a daily (or weekly) basis.
- Chrome to phone is pretty much the coolest thing EVER... I don't think I could live without it LOL
This is totally off-topic & not to blaspheme on these forums but,
I'm a not root user. I don't do anything advanced on my phone. I text, I take pictures, & I play games. As much as I hate Apple, if they will just upgrade the size of their puny little 3.5" displays I will probably buy an iPhone. For what I do on my phone day to day, there is nothing Android can do that an iPhone couldn't. Unfortunately I play a lot of games & many of them get update priority on iOS. The Camera quality seems better too. However, as long as Apple keeps their itty-bitty 3.5" display, they wont get a cent of my money.
I can't upgrade again until March 2013, so... who knows what we'll have by then? If I had to buy a phone tomorrow it would be the Galaxy Nexus with Verizon. So while I am still happy with my Evo3D, I have mixed feelings about it.
