On to the new EVO...

Unexpectedly, when I was in the Sprint store this evening to get my phone fixed, I was offered an upgrade to the new HTC EVO 3D smartphone. Huh?!? Right, that is exactly what I said too! I could either wait two hours for a tech to look at my phone, and figure out why Gingerbread made my phone suck (decreased battery life, restarting itself by itself, always opening Footprints whenever I unlock my phone, etc.), or I could use my upgrade which expired today, and get the phone for $50 if I sold back my current EVO 4G. How could anyone turn that offer down? So, I now have the new HTC EVO 3D.

So far, I don't really care for the 3D photos/video. How good is it if you have to have an EVO 3D to see the video or photos in 3D? But, it came with the Green Hornet movie in 3D, and I think there may actually be an Angry Birds 3D version, so for entertainment purposes, I guess it would be Ok. I already miss my 8mp camera, and the fact that all the apps fit the screen - a lot of things don't seem to fill the screen. It's the same size screen (4.3"), the phone itself is just a tad bit narrower than my previous phone, so not quite sure what the deal is. The graphics are superb, but kills the battery. Still have a lot to get used to with my new phone.
