I was wondering if I should buy the evo 4g. I have the evo 3d but do not want \ use the 3d features. I also am looking for a phone I can unlock fully. The Evo 3d is stuck on HBOOT 1.5 and S-on. I think the site below has my answer but I'm checking with you for your experiences. The general idea is to trade or sell \ buy a new evo 4g. thanks!

I have used the mentioned steps with success in downgrading the HBOOT on a EVO OG. I too have a 3D with HBOOT 1.50, unlocked & flashed. I rarely use the 3D aspect of it, except as a parlor trick for my 3D deficient friends. I bought the 3D mainly for the hardware specs(which are being quickly subdued).
I love my Evo, but with other phones on the market now..i wouldn't but it.
Yeah, I was also looking at the hardware when I got it. I figured the 3d was just a good bonus. I still like the phone just want to have an unlocked one for ICS and all the changes coming.
For me, going from the 4g to the 3d was a BIG step up, the processor is WAY faster. I couldn't imagine going from the 3d to the 4g.

The 3D is slated to have ICS availble for it sometime in Q1. No need to root/unlock. If you wish to not wait, use HTCDEV method to unlock and flash via fastboot. Once, the source programming for he 3D is readily available, customs will follow! As stated I have a 3D and flash the heck out of it, even with HBOOT 1.50. Good luck! I would advise not buying a EVO OG. Sprint buyback program is only offering $90 for an OG, pay more than that and you're upside down!

You see what i use don't you?VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV the best phone i ever owned!
Whatever you do.. Dont be the guy that got a great deal online only to find out the previous owner had a large unpaid balance and that large unpaid balance was tied to the specific EVO 4G. It was either he or the previous owner who had to pay the unpaid balance before activation. That so-called great deal turned out a nightmare.
true dat my evo is gonna be come a real nice android based mp3 player / maybe just a voip phone or something

Upgrading from my under power Hero. (To lazy to post a pic )
Upgrading from iphone 3gs. Can't wait to get off AT&T. Sold that baby on ebay and got enough that will easily cover the evo and the ETF fee. Anyone know what kind of resale value HTC phones have? haha.
Sold my iphone 3gs to radioshack. Bought a hero to test out sprint and android, and I'm returning it tomorrow. It's basically a temporary test phone, so I would say I'm truly upgrading from the iphone.

looks like it except for the camera (wich is another scratch magnet nipple camera damit!) though i can see a switch right next to the camera button , wich the 3d has , so .......photoshoped? or perhaps a switch with a different function?
Hope it's not a downgrade.

That's the Evo+ in Japan. Look at it on YouTube. No news if we gonna get it though. I love my Evo and will wait for a better option to replace my sweet Evo than what currently available. It meets my requirements perfectly
The Design 4G is the HTC Kingdom from what I've read. 4" screen, 1.2gHz single core processor, dual 5MP camera. Sounds interesting for folks that think the OG EVO is too damn big.
is this the same thing as the htc evo 4G+ that they released in Taiwan or am I totally thinking the wrong device
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJ6XcgithQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
If u read closely its font is in Japanese
I think
it is a sprint destined phone from what i read on engadget alone ith a couple others of nonimportance edit: also it is supposed to have dedicated cam button no 3d just easy use cam

Then this is the phone I'm waiting for. I love my og Evo and can only think of replacing it w a better beefier Evo. Developement for the dual core snapdragon should be right where it needs to be by then
It's not going to be dual core.. but a previous poster was right. I love my OG EVo, have been rocking it since the day it came out. I don't take that many pics, so the downgrade in mp is not that big a deal to me.. I just want a bit smaller phone. I'll be getting the DESIGN 4G when it drops just for smaller design.
HTC will be unvailing it tomorrow, so we shall see...
http://pocketnow.com/android/htc-evo-design-4g-first-press-shot
First official press photo of the HTC EVO Design 4G. 4inch qHD screen, 1.3mp front facing camera, 5mp on back, 1.2ghz single core processor and 768mb of memory. Shouldn't be too long before its released.
Like the title says, what phone are you coming from to the ET4G?
Feel free to suggest additional phones to be added to the phone list, max is 50 i believe.
Phones to be added to poll:

HTC Evo 4G, still a great phone but I want that led screen and crazy speed.
I might miss the 2-3 day battery life though, but hope the development is strong for Epic Touch 4G.
Its not on the list but I will be coming from the HTC Touchpro 2.
Evo 3d.. Not what I thought it would be sadly
Coming from Sprint's Nexus S 4G.
None of the above
Had the evo 4g for over a year and absolutely loved it, got the evo 3d and returned it before 30 days was up.
And since I sold the OG Evo, ive been on a temporary palm pre in waiting for this phone

Will miss my Bonsai, but I am hopeful that this device will receive great dev support.
im coming from the epic but wow, htc sure is losing alot of evo users huh? i was actually a long time htc user once lol
I love my phone but it.s getting a little old
i hope they will release a new good qwerty phone this year.
my wishlist is
bigger screen amoled, it doesn't bother me with the size
better hinges
more power, a real top of the line phone, with hoppefully the same overclocking capability
hdmi out for emulatorgaming
better and faster camera, the focus suxs
and a thick phone with a decent battery, none of this ultrathin crap
ARE THERE ANY PLANS THIS YEAR FOR SUCH A PHONE?

Na, like with the desire z, i'll just wait until the first blond 14 year old girl buys it and then don't know how to use it, buys a iphone instead then sell it to me for little or nothing
I payed 210usd for this last year, almost new :0
(Tapatalk, phone)
I'm also wanting to upgrade this yyear, probably going to get an android tablet next month, in which case, if there isn't a decent phone similar to this by july, ill wait for an iphone 5

the droid 4 looks like they have the right idea, but its to thin, and i dont like when they waste so much space on the front, no need for buttons,
and i dont like when they make some parts of a phone thin and others thick.

bigger screen, bigger battery and this would be mine
As I've said in numerous identical threads, get the MyTouch 4G Slide. We have overclock, our ROMs are mostly Sense-free with CM9 around the corner, and there is no hinge problem.
I don't think mytouch lineup is even available here.. its ugly anyway. Droid 4 would be the phone to get atm, but i'm fine whit DZ for a year more @least..
For more power i'm getting android tablet once the new ones come out. Probably transformer prime, but first, i want to see whats the Lenovo tegra 3 tablet. I would like a proper stylus enabled tablet.

The MT4GS is less than five months old and still a top-of-the-line device that's beaten the Galaxy Nexus in an Antutu benchmark test.
So right now I have an evo4g lte (not a thing wrong with it). Sprint sent me a white galaxy s3 (refurb) with only 15 total life calls on it and less than an hour of use. It only came with a charger. It was basically sprint saying, hey sorry for a messup try out this phone if you don't like it send it back...or keep it and send back evo.
Questions...
When I got the evo I purchased best buys buyback on the evo. Wouldn't I lose the buyback on the evo ? What's the best deal to not lose money? (got evo on release day)
Why would a refurb have such little use and are refurbs a concern?
My next upgrade is Feb 2014.
I've took a look already of what others said pros and cons are.
Just looking for advice from community to come to a decision
Thanks!
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Stick with the s3 man you won't be disappointed. Night and day difference in quality and performance over your evo.. Buyback plan may switch to the s3 since they sent it to you but I'm not sure. You made money off this deal by them sending you that phone regardless of it being refurb. I've rarely had an issue with any refurbished devices.

Why is Sprint sending you a reverb when your evo has nothing wrong with it?
Aside from that it's your personal opinion on which one you like more. I can't stand HTC phones so I'm no help.

Wow lucky person lol. I'd stick with the gs3 but I'm biased. My wife's old evo ruined HTC for me.
Sent from Pluto.
The S3 is better than the Evo LTE in my opinion. I also can't stand Sense or HTC support. Its not a huge upgrade though. I would talk to Best Buy about how much they would give you etc. But just to be very clear the S3 has better hardware and software and will get upgrades for Android faster and more often.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Gotcha....
I guess my only concerns now is it appears if the phone is replaced and the buy back isn't attached to the esn then you lose out in the program if I take the galaxy...or keep what I have for another year and figure that I won't be paying out if pocket a whole lot of money for the next greatest thing.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Well here's my opinion on the gs3 or evo lte why I got the gs3 was one the fact that I can't stand not being able to switch batterys if needed but other than that they have just about the same specs and I just liked the look of the gs3 better and flip covers they look so cool right haha just wish Samsung made black gs3 for sprint
