Why does it matter when the Evo 3D gets an official ICS update? If they get it out before samsung then good for HTC.


We already have perfectly usable ICS builds so why dont you just enjoy what we have and flash a leaked build if you want ICS.

Well you accidentally got a thanks, so you're welcome. lol

It doesn't really matter other than all these amazing ROMs we currently have will be even more amazing once the Devs have source to work with. That's the only part that matters and the 3D is a crap phone (I have experience with it so I can claim that).

Have the 3D forums been full of leaks? I mean we've gone through a ton of them so it would seem (to me) like surely we'd be one step closer, and maybe we are. I just noted that they now have a confirmed time frame whereas we've heard nothing concrete.

Okay you guys carry on without me, I'm going to do some testing. :)

It's been out slightly longer and has lesser hardware. Of course they finished first on a crap phone they didn't have to try so hard on. ;)

The E4GT is a better phone than the Evo 3D, but you'd have to be a fairly monumental idiot to say its a crap phone. I own both of these phones, my Evo is running a fully functional leaked ICS build. The 3d feature is useless but you obviously don't have to use it. Stock vs stock the Evo is pretty bad but with one of the custom roms and all the HTC sense 3.0 bloat removed and a highly optimized kernel the Evo pretty much matches or exceeds the raw performance of the GS2 in real usage and benchmarks (7500+ antutu, 4700+ quadrant, etc). The build quality is also far superior to the E4GT which is really plasticy and cheap feeling.

However the GSII camera is light years ahead of the Evo, the screen also looks way better despite its inferior resolution. The GSII's GPU also beats the Evo's by a good amount.

Yes the GSII is better, but the Evo is far from crappy.

On a side note, I also tried a leaked sense 4.0 build on the Evo from the one s. I've always been into AOSP but I gotta admit sense 4.0 is pretty nice. Considering I felt that sense 3.0 was the worst of all the overlays out there, HTC did well with the new Sense 4.0. Very nice looking, sleek and very very fast unlike sense 3.

Yeah I'm definitely far from a monumental idiot and I've owned a few HTC's, loved the OG EVO but I stand by my claim that, in my experience, the 3D was crap and I dropped it the second the E4GT came out. But I've made this claim countless times and I continue to stand by it. It was thick, clunky and the gimmicky 3D didn't impress. Oh, and one more thing and this bugged me even with the OG EVO, I HATE their protruding camera lens. So there. lol (now I'm using humor, don't get fussy)

If you like the phone then more power to you. Now I'm really going to bed. Night all.

Whether or not you think its "crap" or not is irrelevant, it doesn't change the fact that the Evo's hardware is far from outdated and indeed very robust. It's a solid well rounded phone. I also see absolutely no logic in your statement that because the 3D didn't impress, that it somehow makes the phone worse. It's an extra feature, nothing more. If you don't use it, the phone is like any other smart phone. The Evo 3d isn't a slim device but its by no means thick or clunky as you say (its 12mm vs the 10mm of the E4GT). You loved the OG Evo (which also has the protruding camera as you metioned) but claim the Evo 3D is garbage, yet the Evo absolutely destroys the OG Evo in everything from pixel density, build quality, camera, performance, Ram, software features, etc.

You are entitled to believe what you want of course but to any reasonable person it is quite nonsensical. It's like saying because the One X or Evo 4G LTE is out now, it makes the Galaxy S2 crap.
