I completely agree! I'm not making any life decisions based on what I'm reading in an online forum. Whether he's an inside source or not doesn't matter to me. He's provided details about things that I've never heard before & have never even thought of before. Whether the info is true or not doesn't matter to me because at least it's got me thinking about new technologies & strategies.

There should be a disclaimer somewhere stating that due to privacy reasons BS doesn't want to reveal his sources, or his place of employment & anyone who wants to follow along can & should, with the understanding that he's not the ultimate decision maker on these things. $0.02

I completely agree. The forums are here for a reason and they're open for anybody to join. People give mis-information ALL the time, even when they're not "experts." Maybe it's just my personality, but whenever information like this is shared, it really doesn't upset me at all. Some people seem to take it SO personally, that they post as if the world is going to end because they don't believe something someone posted.

Bottom line: We're talking about technology. There are A LOT more important tragic things going on in the world to get upset over...like, the earthquake in Japan.

Don't understand all the animosity towards blue. So many of his info might not be correct that doesn't mean he is a troll or don't have inside connection. Models devices get change all the time, look at the Samsung tablet, the slim model is different from what we saw the past few months. For all we know another phone might be in existence that he describe but to keep bashing him is pointless lets move forward and see what the future holds. If what blue told us become a reality, then what.?

lordofthereef · Mar 23, 2011

I read this and still don't see why anyone is upset. Say he is "legit". Cool. We just got some exclusive information. Say he isn't? You all still would have spent your time reading other potentially incredible information on a forum. Frankly, I feel the specs of the phone were pretty damn near what he stated they would be, and he made his statements a good while before "more credible" sources started "leaking" the information. It seems like people don't even care how credible his information is/was, but are rather focused on making everyone else believe BSOD is a sham. If it's so obvious, we should be able to come up with this conclusion ourselves, without your coersion, no?

Bat~man · Mar 23, 2011

I'm not upset, but I guess if he has a right to troll then we have a right to call him on it.

There has been absolutely zero proof of him being what he says he is, but tons of proof that he isn't. Anyone can throw around a bunch of information and then when it doesn't come true, claim that it was revision A or revision B.

Like the kickstand, he likely seen the Thunderbolt kickstand and figured it makes sense to give the new EVO one like that. I don't blame him, it would make perfect sense to me too. I'm just not posing as some super hero tech guy to gullible people on the internet.

Anyone who is smart enough to read knows that technology can change on a whim, that is not a good defense here. That same people need to only read through his post history and find the truth.. and truth that is still unexplained.

But it doesn't matter. The evo3D is a nice phone, it is still a few months away from launch so hopefully that is enough time to work out the quirks that we seen in the videos. It seems like everyone trying to access the weather via the sense clock widget couldn't get it to work for them lol\.

kickstand rumor stated by htc employee at bottom of article.
Hands-On Video And Photos Of The HTC EVO 3D | Android News, Reviews, Apps, Games, Phones, Tablets, Tips, Mods, Videos, Tutorials - Android Police

which does point slightly in BS favor.

Thanks for pointing that out!

I'd pay for that back cover accessory over a case. Just my personal preference because I hate using cases on my phones, but if that does end up being available, no doubt that would be my choice. We'll see. As of right now, I'm not likely to "pre-order" until Sprint formally states that an optional kickstand battery cover will be available.

darynm · Mar 23, 2011

At this point i can't imagine someone not coming out with a back cover without an integrated kickstand.

thaprinze · Mar 23, 2011

Getting back on topic. BS, if you have any leverage whatsoever, please let the design teams know that there's a reason the Evo 4G sold so well for Sprint! There really was no need to make such drastic changes to the phone. Dual core processor w/ better GPU for gaming, NFC, upgrade to camera quality, qHD display, maybe some front facing speakers... that's really all that needed to be done. I think they over thought this one just a tad. There are a number of phones out there right now with better specs that the Evo, but all-in-all, I don't think any of them can provide the same great user experience the Evo provides!

dan330 · Mar 23, 2011

BS... same size screen with smaller phone... was the win!!!

they really f-ed up.. if what you said was true.

lordofthereef · Mar 23, 2011

Batman,
My point is, you called him on it not once, not twice, but probably a dozen times (not about to count). Seriously, at what point is it time to just let it go. FWIW, you claim there have been posts to "prove" he isn't who he says he is. Obviously the official announcement of the product shows some slightly different specs than what he had said. This does not at all "prove" anything at all, other than what was publicly presented is different than what he may have had. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what you or I believe. But the fact is, we can't REALLY prove whether this guy is legit or not. Frankly, why do we want or need to? You guys are calling out mods for saying/thinking the same thing. Nobody said BSOD is 100% legit (except perhaps himself), nor that his words are gospel. The only fact is that there is the same amount of proof that he is a sham as there is that he is legit, and that is to say there is NONE.

I don't just "claim" there are posts, I actually posted them for you, it was easy enough to see. I'll let it go when he lets it go, and when you let it go.
I concede that we may not need me pointing out the obvious to people, but we also don't need you policing the thread.

If he keeps bringing up his BS, then I have every right to debate the truth of it. Especially when he can't and won't explain why he lied so much.

You don't think there is proof of him NOT working on the OG EVO like he claims, then kindly look through his post history and you will see. He asks numerous questions on how to work the EVO, he was talked into buying the EVO after first buying the Moment. Go ahead and look for yourself.. it won't take any longer to do than it did typing up your post.

lordofthereef · Mar 23, 2011

My friend, I simply asked a question. No intent on policing anything. It seems now you are upset by my asking your prerogative. Anyhow, I am out. I am on neither side and, along with a few others, amd willing and able to take things with a grain (or two) of salt.

dan330 · Mar 23, 2011

what if he is legit.. and was pawned by his own employer?

and he is a good conduit to the evo development. and with all this makes him... cut the ties...

what if he is a troll... we just need to use our own good sense .... and like others have said.. take all info with a grain of salt.

it will all come out.. soon enough .. one way or the other.

drexappeal · Mar 23, 2011

What's funny to me is how heated people get about stuff like this...it's mind boggling really. So many people get "tough" behind a computer screen and a keyboard and over what...A freaking smartphone and whether information being shared is true or not?...LOL. Come on people. I think it's enough to state your opinion, but to go out of your way to disprove someone just turns into just as much of a "look at me" situation, as any troll coming into a forum would be. By going out of your way to disprove someone sharing their own info, on an internet forum, it doesn't make you any better of a person by outwardly trying to discredit them. All it does is add fuel to the fire.

Nah I'm good. Nothing at all wrong with a debate, and it is perfectly ok to disagree with me. I just wanted to point out there there is in fact solid proof of him being a sham as opposed to anything backing his claims.

It doesn't matter tho, like you said. I would rather talk about the EVO3D.

So one concern would be screen/display quality. I read up on the Atrix screen and some people aren't happy with it. In the videos, most people pointed out how much better it looks than the OG Evo, so that's a positive.

I am also concerned with battery life. As much as I love HTC, their phones have a reputation of very poor battery life. They may have offset this with a bigger battery and using dual core with asynchronous clocking on both cores. So I am very hopeful that this EVO will be much better out of the box than the OG EVO. It will offset the need to root ASAP.

EDIT: lol @ the guy above me.

Again, it is ok to debate, why are you getting heated and acting "tough" behind the keyboard because I am exercising my right as much as you are, or the OP is?

lordofthereef · Mar 23, 2011

^^^ I am still unclear as to what qHD is outside of pixel counts. Is it an LCD screen? How does it compare to Apple's retina display? Haven't had the pleasure of seeing an Atrix yet, so I can't much comment on that.

thaprinze · Mar 23, 2011

The other aspect of this is that there is no rule stating that you have to provide sources & be 100% correct in what you report. However, there certainly are rules on how you treat fellow af members. You are all 100% within your rights to question his credibility, but there is a difference between that & personal attacks. BS left the other thread & started this one to be a dialog about the Evo 3D & it's current & future specs. If you disagree with the information he's providing you should state your opinion once, maybe twice, then stop viewing his thread.

I'm not trying to be mean, but there was a reason this thread was created, and so far very little has been on topic. Maybe someone should start another thread in which we can debate his credibility.

So let it go? How does it help when people like you keep chiming in to defend him?

You want it on topic, then post on topic.

Although I normally wouldn't be concerned about the screen (as I loved the EVO screen, despite many other people feeling it's lacking) once all the tech blogs get a hold of a test EVO 3D for comparisons, I can't wait to see what they say comparing it to other high quality devices and their screens. I hadn't seen what's been said regarding the Atrix, but my cousin that does own an Atrix says she loves it and feels the screen and image quality is just as good as the iPhone 4 she gave up. If it looks better than the OG Evo, that is already a definite plus for me (since I didn't really have any complaints about that one).

Battery Life - That's another thing I'd LOVE to see some tech blogs do a test on, just to see w/ regular use / heavy use / average use how the battery performs, in conjunction with multiple apps loaded onto the phone, non-rooted...basically, a test based on an every day consumer's use of the phone.

qHD stands for quarter HD. Someone with more knowledge of how it works can chime in on it.. but I think it is a qHD sLCD screen on the evo 3d?

I don't really think it will compare to the iphones display... but hopefully close.

OpticCacophony · Mar 23, 2011

No one is upset or getting heated. We are just picking apart the obvious, glaring holes in his story. I don't think anyone would actually get frustrated or angry over this. I'm just calling him out as I see him. The only point at which I may have come off as being vicious is when I said he should be banned and this thread locked but I only say that because I was under the impression that would be the steps taken by mods on every forum if a situation like this arise.

But keep entertaining his stories if you wish. Like I said, I find this to be very amusing. Doesn't really matter to me either way.

Cheers guys and keep your chin up,
BSOD

I signed up for this forum just to reply to you.

I work at one of the biggest corporations in the US running tech projects. I know how fast paced it is working in big business and from my own experience how everything is almost always running right down to the wire. Plans change, projects change. I also understand how people have limited scopes on their expertise. There is an awful lot of knowledge required to put together a phone and getting all of the software to work with the hardware - there probably are very few people that know it all inside out.

I also find it plausible that someone would be driven to acheive so much in their careers. VP of a company, on the board of another, doctorates, military, etc. It seems some folks in life have the kind of drive to acheive these things, and other just don't and can't understand it. I know personally people that have also juggled many of the above responsibilities successfully (maybe not as many as you claim, but still).

I too am so passionate about my work that sometimes I feel compelled to talk to other people about it. So I can understand how if you are proud of something you are working on, why you'd want to share it on a forum of people that share your interests and appreciate quality work!

If you are as accomplished as you claim, you've no doubt crossed paths with all walks of life. I hope the level of skepticism and the immaturity some of the folks here are displaying is not a surprise for you. When you deal with peoples "wants", you are dealing with their emotions too.....

In your defense, if I remember correctly with all of the doubt about the radio's in the phone. If I remember correctly, wireless N was not enabled from the onset of the Evo 4G it was down the line. I had an HTC Touch before the EVO and the EVDO was upgraded much after I owned it. And further more, I can understand Sprint keeping it hush hush on the LTE as much as possible, because they wouldn't want to slight anyone that has a WiMax phone, nor would they want to make WiMax look bad if the LTE deal never comes to fruition.

I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt here. If I've been fooled well then kudos to you, it was certainly entertaining.

With that said, I really hope you or someone can confirm:
LTE/WiMax
NFC
RAM/ROM
Expected Battery Life
even the 180 degree panoramic photo's you mentioned and sport mode.

Those are major features we'd all love to have/know about.

I'm not an expert, but this is what it had in wikipedia (again, not a great source, but just an explanation I found through google...lol...cuz I didn't know what the hell it was either...hahaha)

QFHD (3840

Haha, some of that is like trying to read chinese.

I will say I agree with you on the EVO screen. I was not disappointed with it and always thought it looked great... until I put it side by side with my buddys iphone =x I'm still not disappointed, I accept that it will not be the best in every category.

I think it is an upgrade over our current screen, and that's enough for me. I just hope it doesn't have harsh viewing angles and other negatives that aren't seen right away.

I also want to see this concept back cover that has a kickstand that the article was mentioning. I love accessories and have always been jealous of how much attention the iphone gets in that department.
