Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! I walked by a Sprint kiosk and saw them selling the EVO3D. I at first dismissed the phone as I was waiting for the Galaxy S II (Samsung Within on Sprint) and really am not big fan of 3D. But when they told me if I traded in my EVO4G to them I would get $150 and walk out with this phone for $66 - I was sold.I don't see the 3D as the selling point. Unless you are in good lighting, the colors are really "off" in the pictures and the SpiderMan game, while cool, was giving me a headache. Like I said, not a huge fan of 3D. What I AM a huge fan of on this phone is:- Dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon- Androidâ„¢ 2.3 with HTC Senseâ„¢ 3.0- 4GB eMMC / RAM 1GB- 1730 mAh battery- Dedicated camera button- Access to htc HUB for free downloadable content for htc phonesNot a big fan of the 8GB SD Card - I mean, they could have really stepped up the size on that. I was pushing the limits on my apps with the EVO on that. Disappointed with it. If you are on Google+, you can upload your images and video up there (don't share if you don't want to) and help limit how much space is used on your SD card. Of course you can use other similar cloud options.Also - why make the camera lens flush with the rest of the body of the phone? I picked up a platinum case from Best Buy with built-in kickstand which protects the lens. Not cheap though at $35. More than twice the cost of what it cost me for the phone. I like it though because it allows the silver buttons of the EVO3D to show through and I think they're pretty slick.So is the 3D a gimmick? The jury is still out. I've taken some cool pics and right now not many other phones can do this. I'm sure it'll only get better with software upgrades to this phone as well. If anyone tells me I bought this phone for the 3D though, I remind them about the benefits and how much the phone actually cost me - then watch their collective jaws drop.For all other options to customize your EVO (4G/EVO3D), I highly recommend visiting goodandevo.net.
