Yet Another Consumer Report

ok so the fact that i've been posting so many consumer posts... means that i've been spending more money than i usually do!! but fun times fun times, great deals, and in the end, saving money for later!!

today, i'm here to discuss the new evo3d with sprint.



pretty?


i ordered it from that deal i posted below on wirefly. and have been playing with it pretty much nonstop since. i love it. but it could be because i'm coming from my crappy htc hero.

yes, the hero was awesome when i first got that... but that's cuz i was coming from the outdated htc mogul... lol. i see the trend. but i've never owned a phone at launch, so that's new. when i bought the hero it'd been out for 6+ months.

and quickly became outdated. i DO plan on keeping this phone through the 2 yr contract... at least.

it's fast! the specs are pretty spiffy:

weight: 170g
battery: Standard battery, Li-Ion 1730 mAh
cpu: 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, Adreno 220 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8660 chipset
mem: 1G RAM
OS: Android OS, v2.3 (Gingerbread)
screen: 540 x 960 pixels, 4.3 inches
storage: internal 1G/SD 8G


more detailed version found on this site

has all the new standard stuff, like front facing camera... the obvious thing that sets this phone apart is the 3d aspect.

you can watch videos in 3d, play games in 3d... yippee. this pretty much works like the 3ds. which, in my opinion, is not that great. it's cool to have on a phone... but frankly, i'd enjoy the phone just as much without it. you can check out what the 3ds screenshots and some video looks like here on this site.


i will say this tho. it's mad fun. i mean MAD fun, to take pictures and videos in 3d. oh yeah, it does that. hence the dual cameras on the back. i mean i'm sure i'll get bored of real quick, and it surely is just a gimmick. i wouldn't pay premium, or extra, for it. i'd rather do without it if that would help the price. but having it anyway is a plus. i've taken more pictures and videos with this phone in the first week than i have with all my phones ever combined.

video chatting isn't super, yet. eventually i'm sure it'll become more prevalent. but it works.

the big knock on htc phones has always been battery life. if you see on the back, they removed the kickstand. a very popular feature. why? bigger battery. of course, htc is making an official case with kickstand.


"Gimme more money" - htc

 here's an overview of some more accessories htc is coming out with soon.

all in all. yes i love the phone. it's awesome, it's fast. so fast. i love it. did i mention that?

the one gripe i have... is that the battery cover. on the back, is IMPOSSIBLE to remove. i feel like i'm going to snap it off every time. so yeah i avoid it like the plague.

that's it for now!
