Release date: 6/24 nationwide; 6/21 for SP members.

I refuse to preorder any phone without an official release date and price. Look what happened to the thunderbolt crowd.

No matter what date it is, I'll have it when it drops because I pre-ordered. Those who didn't pre-order can't be sure...

Exactly, and you can always spend your 50 dollar deposit/gift card on whatever you want, right?

Yep. On the purchase of the phone or anything else at a different time...

 

[cyaiphone]

or you can cash the card out and get your $50 back.

Yeah, Sandwich seems extraneous to me too, since Ice Cream already qualifies as a dessert. Of course, "Ice" would be too short since it's not a dessert.

And I think ICS is the new OG.

abbreviating Frozen Yogurt so that it was shorter... FroYo. Now we have "Ice Cream Sandwich." ICS is nice, but not very obvious. Sounds pretty technical. So maybe ICreSan. wow that sounds horrible.

I hope the Evo 3D comes out soon and very soon. I suspect the release will be around the first weeks of June, though I hope sooner.

I've been on the fence about getting the Evo 3D but recently my Evo 4G has succumb to the terrible reboot loop problems that are getting worse and worse. I suspect it is a hardware issue, but I'm about to do a factory reset and software purge to see if it remedies the problem. Probably unrelated but I noticed the problem got worse around the same time as I installed the Amazon App Store and downloaded a few free apps of the day (various crapware). I'm strongly leaning towards a nice hardware upgrade.

(I'm running straight stock, maybe I should finally delve into the world of root)

No toes to step on here. HTC doesn't have anything to do with when it is released, and Sprint won't care about the release of a phone somewhere else.

If the carriers have the final say then ya id agree...But how do we/you know they do?

Rooting will be the best thing you ever did and you will hate yourself for not doing it sooner!!! I'm loving my gingerbread with sense 2.1 on my evo. It just makes me want the EVO 3D even more!!! Come on give us our 3D already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have never rooted my phones. I'm just curious, I can understand why people would root phones to get updates they otherwise normally wouldn't get, or to overclock processors on lower powered phones. But for top of the range phones like the Evo 3d is going to be, is it necessary to forgo the nice sense 3.0? what advantages would rooting actually bring? I'm just asking because i don't really know much on the topic

 

[marctronixx]

this is not a rooting thread so please lets not talk about that. open up a thread in the rooting section. this is for release date info. thank you all.

 

[deltatko]

If my theory about the release date being tied to the yerkish renaming, that is supposed to go down in 5 hrs as of when I'm typing this per this page

Sprint- All Together Now

lets cross our collective fingers

Well, HTC showed off the EVO at Google I/O and they are trying to get developers to start developing 3D apps for the phone.

the very last sec of that vid.. he ended the game.. it did not go into landscape mode. maybe it just did not have time to react?

Or maybe they added a toggle in the settings to not have it automatically rotate to landscape, like in the other launchers (e.g. LPP, ADW, Go, etc.).

 

[dan330]

on a demo?? why turn that off? but i guess it could be.

FWIW: I was just told by Jessica from Sprint customer service that you will be able to order the EV0 3D online from Sprint on May 31, 2011.

You get to order it on the 31st, but Jessica told me I can have it whenever I want. Was she talking about the EVO..lol?

[Evo 3D FORUM GAME] guess the launch date


Ok, I haven't put much thought into this... but a poll doesn't work unless I'm a MOD and can make changes... So here are the rules to this game:

1) People post the date they think the Evo will be officially released/launched by Sprint.
2) You can only submit one guess.
3) No editing your post. If I see an edit in your post, I won't count it or any subsequent guesses/posts.
4) once the launch date is known, all posts afterwards are disqualified. I'll use post timestamps to determine this.

Winner gets... a round of thanks from all the losers. Also, the person who first posts an official source announcing the official launch date gets a round of thanks as well, though I think this goes without saying.

Tiebreaker: if multiple people guessed the correct date, the first poster for that date is the winner. Feel free to thank the rest as well!

WHEN DO YOU THINK EVO 3D LAUNCH DATE IS?
