How do yall feel about SPB Shell 3D? I think It's going to be better then adw and LPP put together. It's priced at $14 tho which is crazy!
I want to know who is using this already and who's not. I want to purchase it but I want some incite on this bad boy first. So tell me (if u use it) what do you like about it.
Thanks....

Really cool concept, but I felt it got old and gimmicky after 5min with it. I returned it. Not worth $15 imo, but some people love it. There is a long thread in general about it.

That's kinda how I felt. I downloaded with 4share and played with it before uninstallin after 5 mins and deleted the apk off of the SD (that's how I do before I make a purchase if they don't have a trial or demo). I feel its early for it but dammit in s few months It's going to take ove'!
Imma go check that thread out too

Yeah, I downloaded it, backed it up with Titanium and uninstalled it for the refund and restored from Titanium in case I wanted to use it longer than 15min to decide whether or not to purchase.
For $5 it would be a home run. For $15, better make me a sammich.
I didnt like SPB Shell 3D much, seems like a memory hog. I just got Regina Launcher, it seems pretty cool but not for me. Back to Launcher Pro again.
I tried to get on the beta for this back when I had my vibrant. Personally I like it. I guess it's something different. The $15 tag is a bit hard to swallow though.
I checked it out. Looks cool. But no demoware/trial. Fifteen bucks is hard to swallow with what a 15min return period.. I'll stick with GO Launcher for now.

I currently use it and I like it but I really wish I didn't pay 15 bucks for it. It beter smd with a new update or I will be dissapointed. I figured that it's so new it still will advance with future updates because in the couple weeks I've had it, its updated about 3 times. I think for 5 bucks it would be great but I can't help but feel that I wasted 15 bucks on a launcher, till I get a 3d phone that can actually take advantage of the 3d capabilities. In conclusion, I would wait for a price drop or something because it's nice but not worth 15 bucks.

Wouldn't it have to have been designed with autostereoscopy in mind in order for it to be 3D on the upcoming 3D phones? Considering there are no phones with this capability out right now, I doubt that they incorporated the 3D technology needed into the software now. Even with the Evo 3D, it would look exactly as it does on your phone now.
Anyone that knows more about this can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I looked but did not see a "for sale" section. Looking to sell my Evo and wasn't sure where to post. Any help in pointing to correct section would be greatly appreciated. It's revision 2 btw way...had phantom skinz protector as well as hard plastic case on from day one. Couldn't be in better shape.

There's a section called 'market'. Craigslist is probably easier though, more local
We're comin from a pure power source.
How much are you sellig it for ? I'm about to sell mine as well and I would like to know what would sound like a good price, I was thinking 300$ since I sold the iPhone 3GS for 200$ not too long ago but idk if is the right price
another vote for craigslist.org
swappa.com is not a bad place to start. Local is nice but not everyone will have luck with this. Maybe OP lives in the sticks in Tennessee. Doubt if Cletus and/or Linda Lou would wanna buy a smartphone Current prices on swappa are 285 and up to 400.

Uhhhh....what?
About a year ago I ordered this very phone I have in my hands. It showed up like a month later, but still.
The smartphone market is moving exponentially, and our options are smashing through the roof and amazing us monthly.
With all this in mind, what do you think you'll end up doing with your Incredible when you decide to upgrade? Hand it down? Sell it? Keep it as a spare? Not upgrade at all until its 100% useless?
If times are hard, I am gonna sell it for whatever its worth to put toward a new phone. With superphones hitting the 300 dollar mark, I can't justify not selling it. If I have the cash though, ill just keep it as a developer phone. I also have an idea for a custom interface for my car.

how rude~! lol
well im locked in till march of 2012 so Ill probably wait to till the summer of 2012 to make a choice on an upgrade. I want a 4g phone bigger screen like the thunderbolt and a daul core or possible quad core by then. If I had an upgrade to use now I'd get the thunderbolt bc its everything I want except for the dual core. I have a big decision to make in the summer though bc my family and I might switch to another carrier. I love Verizon customer service but Im paying $350 a month for six lines and only 3 lines are smart phones. But if I stay then I'll keep the Dinc in case I dont like my new phone and have to trade it away. lol
I think I'll keep my DInc as a dev phone, or to mess around with whatever ROMs are still available. I am locked in until March 2012 myself, but I may upgrade sooner, depending on desire/finances.

Lol me to i bought an ipod touch 2nd gen for nothing time to get some cash by selling it.
I have this long rectangle shadow box that i put my old phones in. I have 5 in there now and space for 4 more. So the Dinc goes in space 6 when the time is right. Although I am happy with my super awesome, tricked out Dinc!
That's easy. I use Google Voice, so it's going to stay in the apt connected to wifi and that will then become my "home phone". Conveniently both phones will have the same phone number....

how do you guys like your GS2's?

I've had mine for about a week now (came from and EVO) I have no complaints whats so ever........... Your mileage may vary.......
Its a good device coming from the Evo. Its has a few issues like the Loss of service, but I did experience that until I rooted the device so I dont blame it on the phone.
The one problem that I do have is that it wont play most games for more than 10 to 15 minutes. But I use it for reading more than anything else and sprint and samsung are suppose to be releasing a patch next month.
I would say stop calling it the SGS2 (which, I know, it is) and get used to ET4G. If for nothing else than to know that if something is labeled SGS2 that you should. not. flash. it.
As far as QWERTY goes? Pffft. I was so worried when I got my Evo that I was going to miss QWERTY. I didn't have the Hero long enough to get used to it, then I got the Moment and got used to it (that keyboard sucked anway)....but the transition took, oh, a week or two. That was a year and a half ago and I've never regretted ditching the real keyboard. There are hundreds of 'em. Find one you like. I go back and forth between Swype and SwiftkeyX and can haul major ass on both....especially Swype. SwiftKeyX is totally worth whatever it costs. If you let it read your texts, emails and Facebook posts it's prediction is simply amazing. You barely even have to try being precise.
This phone is the epic now... If you like your keyboard, turn the phone landscape, then the keys r bigger than my gfs physical keys on the og epic

I got it last Tuesday and love the phone and size. Im using the "Go Launcher" and LOVE IT, amazing how easily it is to make your beautiful looking and functional. The only problem Im having is LOS. And battery life is not that good either but , what can you expect from a dual Core phone with a big ass screen. You can tweak it with SetCpu. But Im still trying to find the best configuration so i can have a optimal battery life.
But i must say the phone is amazing and also it also lets you uninstall a lot of the preloaded apps without rooting, something other phones and carriers wont permit.
I am also getting this phone... just ordered it tonight.. should be here no later than Wed!

If you are coming from the Moment you will love this device. I had the moment for 6 months but I had to get rid of it because I hated it. I went to the and loved that until my charger port broke. Got this as a replacement. This is better than the Evo, considering the screen is excellent. Also it is so much lighter and thinner than the Evo and Touchwiz is not as bad as people make it out to be.
The only problem with it that I have had is the sound bug which causes some games to just quit.

Here's a little devil's advocate.
I bought the ET4G on a whim after seeing it on Craigslist for an attractive price. After using it for a week, it's going back on Craigslist and I am using my OG Epic again w/ the new Gingerbread release (and physical keyboard fixes!).
While the ET4G certainly offers a snappier Android experience and a better camera than the OG Epic, I didn't find the boost in speed or extra screen real estate to be worth the $325 I paid for the device. I think the only speed boost worth writing home about was the speed of the ET4G's stock browser. Lastly, the audio quality of SGSII is inferior to SGSI and in all honesty not worthy of a high end smartphone - this was the deal breaker for me.
Considering that you already have the OG Epic, I'd wait until the middle of next year so you can get a killer future-proof 720p LTE phone at a fully discounted price. All that said, the ET4G is still a great device!

That's one reason I haven't taken the plunge (though I tried once, and the guy at the store said he couldn't mess with my plan). When I played with it at the store, it wouldn't rotate. Meanwhile, some of the apps (especially the camera app) would go landscape and not go back. Anyone else have that problem?

few other things i noticed:
-only default theme is available (not surprised here)
-very VERY smooth with neat animations
-takes a little to get used to (i keep tying to swipe left and right on the main launcher screen to change screens - that's not the case anymore)
-for the weather it says i'm in a city 20 minutes away
-hitting menu brings up: add, manage apps wallpaper, themes, tsf homepage (brings up browser), and system settings
-cool animations, kinda like what one would expect in golauncher
-after downloading new app, the app shows fire on it like advertised - however, the fire doesn't animate while in the launcher unless you switch screens. not too worried about this lol.
-doesn't look exactly like the one on the video they provided months ago. not a good or bad thing as the changes are only minor.
-giant button at bottom right is cutting off one the bottom-left-most app. can't see the whole thing.
kinda like spb shell (from what i've read), there aren't many settings like other launchers.
Well I couldnt hold back, I bought it for the 15 min refund time and well, I refunded it. It was extremely smooth. Loved the animations, hated the price. Way too much for something that doesnt give you a lite version to get used to before making the leap.

You have to keep your finger on it, after a sec it pulls up voice search options.
I am considering buying it.. It looks good and have nice gestures. 9.99 should be the price tho

I paid for and downloaded this yesterday. After upgrading from CM9 Alpha 3.1 to Alpha 4, the app no longer shows up in the market, not even in the list of apps I have paid for. Very curious.

I’m curious about what impact this launcher has on the battery life.
If you could post your thoughts after you have a few days to let it set in, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks

for today, I took my phone off the charger at 11am, and it's now 8:20pm - I still have 41% battery street moderate use, GPS and wifi on. Compared to go launcher that I was using, it seems it has better battery life. However, one day isn't long enough to tell.

I can't wait to publish some apps those guys are already pushing 16 grand and they just released it lol

Personally, I hated it. I think it disrupts work flow. Im curious to where they are going to take it.
Is anyone brave enough to drop 17 bucks on this new launcher? Apparantly it is as awesome as the videos released awhile back. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Im about to take the plunge and purchase it but would like to know if anybody else has tried it yet and feels that its worth it.
There isn't enough flashy effects or options that would ever have me drop $15+ on a launcher. To each their own. Most free or low priced launchers are plenty smooth with all the options I need or want.

Today I bought real racing 2 for £0.70 - much more worthy.

I just used tsf for about ten minutes. I would definitely not pay what they are asking. Not only is the launcher overly complicating and a waste of ram, its overly sensitive.

i was just about to post asking about this when i saw this thread. is the epic able to handle it well?
it sounds like people are going by bad first impressions. the problem is i would be shocked if this thing didn't take awhile to adapt to. can you guys who tried it honestly say you would not come to love it once you adapt?
the functionality and looks seem amazing and i was shown the video by my friend who uses a bionic and he loves it. does it lag on the epic?
but yeah 17 bucks is steeeeep in a culture that doesn't like to pay for apps already.

For that much money id better like it right away now have to "adapt" to it. That's crazy expensive...

haha true but they show most of the features in the video so you should be going in knowing that you'll eventually be able to move everything around that fluidly, but will take a bit of getting used to. shouldn't be more than a few hours i'd imagine.
anyway i'm thinking of taking the plunge when i get home, just wondering if those who tried it got bad lag or anything on our dated phones
It actually runs just as the video does, I dnt dislike it but its just extremely complicated. Def not worth 17 bones, but having aquired it *cough* thru alternative means *cough* I can say it is a very pretty launcher.
Man, I've been wanting this Launcher for 2 months, and its 17 bucks? Forget it.

Heh. My GF loved the SPB launcher, but i finally converted her to ADW. Might sneak her over to GO Launcher next update.
Still, I felt $15 was to much, but $17 is just an absurd amount for just a launcher.

Been using this for a few days. I like it and its nice eye candy but... definitely NOT worth $17. Honestly, no launcher is.

the most ive EVER paid for a launcher is nova launcher prime...and that was only 4 bucks. 17 bucks?? for a phone app?? ONLY if i was rich... or maybe if i had a really nice tablet or something, but not on my epic. cm9 with nova works perfect for me. i wshould look at this video tho, now im curious to what a 17 dollar launcher looks like. anybody find it on 4shared mobile yet?? :x
unfortunately this is a terrible launcher.
It's unintuitive
Features that one might look for aren't there.
Memory hog
this are some of the falling points of the launcher, but that doesn't make it bad enough.
There is no free version of this launcher, no way to give it a test drive before you get down and dirty with it.
You MUST drop over 17 dollars on it!
WOAH!
Hold the phone a minute.
Seventeen dollars for a launcher, a homescreen.
What does it do for these 17 dollars of mine?
It launches other apps.
What else?
That's about it.
Well does it at least have some sort of cool effect that shows you're using a powerful phone capable of handling an app that costs seventeen bucks?
No. It has very simple graphics.
Why does it cost so much then?
Eh. Why not?
Bottom line:
Crappy app not worth the money.

It's real snappy yet it does cause a slight lag in other apps on mines. Although pricey...I still kinda like it.

I dont know if you guys know or if its illegal to mention it in this site but the ppl that arent willing to spend $17
Mod edit: should not use it!
It is against forum rules to mention pirate sites here. DO NOT DO SO AGAIN!

Not illegal (like you won't go to jail lol) but strongly frowned upon...
