by Anton D. Nagy | August 9, 2011 2:18 AMRead OnWe've been hearing lots of codenames for the AT&T and Verizon Samsung Galaxy S II variants but somehow the Sprint Within was left aside. According to the information made public by an Engadget leakster, the phone will be called Sprint Epic 4G Touch. We've heard that name before and we can now safely draw the conclusion that Sprint will not get a slide-out QWERTY-enabled Galaxy S II. But it will get HTC's glasses-free 3D phone, the EVO 3D under the name Sprint EVO Design 4G. If somehow neither of this two tickles your interest, there's the Motorola Admiral which, since it's lacking the 4G ...

by Brandon Miniman | August 4, 2011 11:56 AMRead OnAs was the case in the television industry, OEMs that make smartphone are hoping that 3D is the next big thing that drives millions of consumers to upgrade to more expensive hardware. We are in the midst of the first wave of 3D phone releases: today you can buy an LG Optimus 3D, the Sprint HTC EVO 3D, and a couple others. It remains to be seen whether 3D on a phone will play out like it did with televisions (few have upgraded), or if the new technology will be a true value-add that becomes standard on all future high end smartphones. Those of you that are using a 3D smartphone, let us know ...

Nagy | August 2, 2011 7:36 AMRead OnHere's the story: Vodafone U.K. announced that it will be carrying HTC's first glasses-free 3D smartphone, the EVO 3D, which was already listed on the carrier's website wearing a "coming soon" label. Later, the network operator reportedly cancelled the phone "due to delays in the launch of the HTC EVO 3D". The Taiwanese phone maker is confident that the "EVO 3D will go on sale through Vodafone and distributors in six major European countries", according to reports. The information originates from an alleged e-mail statement from HTC where the company also said it was "confident in its ...

by Daniel Webster | July 30, 2011 9:26 PMRead OnIn this video we review the software of the new HTC EVO 3D for Sprint. The EVO 3D has some of the best software available for any Android smartphone available. Running Android Gingerbread along with the latest version of HTC Sense 3.0 delivers an awesome user experience that any smartphone connoisseur will enjoy. While the EVO 3D does include a little bit of proprietary software the majority of it is quite useful. The best apps included are Media Share, Mirror, Reader, Sprint Hotspot, Qik, Transfer, and Watch. Some other apps that some users may find appealing most would consider them ...

by Joe Levi | July 29, 2011 6:44 PMRead OnJust moment sago we informed you that HTC had just released the kernel source code for several of their devices. Now we have learned that both the Sensation 4G and the Evo 3D have received "S-Off"! Wow. That was fast! S-Off, for those of you who don't know, is the key to loading a custom Recovery Image, which is the first step to install a custome ROM, tweaked kernel, and even some themes. The application that allows you to do this is reportedly still an early beta, so please take care if you decide to run it. The instructions (and ramification of doing it wrong) are not for the feint of ...

by Joe Levi | July 29, 2011 6:18 PMRead OnThe source code for several HTC devices (based on the 2.6.35 Linux Kernel) was just released. The Salsa, Chacha (and Chachacha), Evo 4G, Evo 3D, Droid Incredible 2, and the Sensation 4G all now have their kernel's source code available to the hobbyist community. The kernel is "the central component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. The kernel's responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). Usually as a basic component of ...

by Stephen Schenck | July 28, 2011 3:47 PMRead OnSmartphone fans in the US may be lamenting that they still can't get their hands on a Samsung Galaxy S2, but maybe they can find some kindred souls in those European smartphone enthusiasts who have been looking forward to the HTC EVO 3D. While the CDMA version is out now on Sprint in the US, Europe waits for the GSM edition. We heard earlier this week that Vodafone in the UK grew so frustrated with the situation, it's no longer interested in the EVO 3D at all, and won't be bothering to carry the smartphone even after it becomes available. Sure, there will be other places to pick the model ...

by Anton D. Nagy | July 27, 2011 8:49 AMRead OnAround a month ago, Vodafone U.K. announced that it will be carrying HTC's first glasses-free 3D phone, the EVO 3D. It even appeared online on its website wearing a "coming soon" label but the carrier apparently abandoned the phone. In a recent statement, Vodafone U.K. told the world the following: "we can confirm that due to delays in the launch of the HTC EVO 3D, we no longer intend to include the device in our smartphone range. We'll be contacting any customers who registered their interest shortly". This might come as a shock to those in the U.K. that are HTC fans and have been waiting ...

by Anton D. Nagy | July 21, 2011 2:53 AMRead OnThe official Sprint HTC EVO 3D desktop dock was already mentioned in Best Buy news wearing a "coming soon" label and a $49.99 price tag but now it appears that we have a confirmation of the date it will be available on. According to the image above, the EVO 3D video dock will still cost $49.99 but it will allegedly hit stores on August 21. The dock is capable of holding your smartphone while docked, angled, making it easy to watch movies and picture slideshows. While doing that it will also charge the EVO 3D and because of the phone's MHL port that's both a microUSB and a microHDMI ...

by Anton D. Nagy | July 19, 2011 3:22 AMRead OnHTC recently announced that it will be rolling out software updates for the HTC Sensation, Sensation 4G, and EVO 3D in order to unlock the bootloader for the phones. These updates should be expected to hit next month. Yesterday Rogers announced its own HTC EVO 3D -- together with the LG Optimus 3D -- and is apparently releasing the phone with an unlocked bootloader. The information comes from the comments where it is stated: "Yes, our HTC EVO 3D will have an unlocked bootloader". Rogers promised the EVO 3D for "this summer" and HTC will roll out the updates in August. Canada might or might ...

by Anton D. Nagy | July 18, 2011 8:11 AMRead OnWhether 3D is a gimmick or a novelty which will soon become a standard is yet unknown as it is too early to say but it's definitely the selling point of the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D. They're both their respective manufacturer's sole 3D phones and, as fresh as they get, they will be coming exclusively to Rogers Canada. The carrier has just introduced both the HTC EVO 3D and the LG Optimus 3D and will make a microsite available for customers to pre-order either one of the two (existing Rogers customers can now reserve their HTC EVO 3D or LG Optimus 3D on the Rogers Reservation System ...

by Anton D. Nagy | July 18, 2011 8:00 AMRead OnThe LG Optimus 3D -- with its AT&T Thrill 4G variant -- and the HTC EVO 3D -- both European and Sprint -- are two of the current 3D-enabled smartphones. Besides both sporting an auto-stereoscopic display that allows for glasses-free 3D content playback, they both sport dual stereoscopic cameras at the back for capturing their own 3D content. Aside from pictures you take, videos you shoot and the games that come bundled or offered with your smartphone, there really is no huge choice for 3D content available. This will probably change as games and applications will support three-dimensional ...

by Daniel Webster | July 17, 2011 8:23 PMRead OnIn this video we unbox the new HTC EVO 3D operating on Sprint's 4G WiMax network. As one of the first Android powered smartphones to incorporate a glasses-free 3D display the EVO 3D is not just relying on this new technology but has also integrated some other pretty powerful hardware to give it that extra oomph. Included with the EVO 3D is a USB wall charger, a microUSB charging/sync cable, and a get started guide. Stay tuned for the hardware and software reviews coming up next.

by Daniel Webster | July 17, 2011 8:22 PMRead OnAs one of the first Android 3D smartphones available in the States, the EVO 3D, is not only relying on this key feature to appeal to the masses. The HTC EVO 3D also has some other appealing hardware that any techno-naught will appreciate. The biggest selling feature is of course the no glasses 3D screen and even with the 3D turned off the screen is still impressive. The 4.3 inch qHD LCD is behind a glass capacitive multi-touch digitizer. Giving life to the EVO 3D is a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor that HTC has combined with a capacious 1GB of RAM. The internal ROM is 4GB and the ...
