Review: HTC EVO 3D
Question for Eric.
I currently own the EVO 4G. I was really thinking of trading up to the 3D. However, I am disappointed with the results of the review section on 4G and 3G connectivity. This has me rethinking my purchase.
My question is, what is the comparison of the 3D and the EVO 4G for signal? Did the tests not prove similar for both? In other words, were the two performed under the exact same tests but with two different outcomes?
Here in upstate NY, my EVO has performed with excellence. I will be basing my purchase according to the results of this comparison.
If the EVO 4G suffered the same degradation in your area during tests, I might assume the EVO 3D will most likely remain equivalent to what the EVO 4G is performing currently i...

I think if your going to do do a review on a phone that will be more successful than the previous you should spend 200 bucks and fly here where you will get good results. .
I think Eric's reviews are lame but to suggest he fly some where that sprint doesn't suck has to be the most silly suggestion I could think of...if anything doing reviews from the same spot will have a consistent results. Maybe Sprint should just suck less in his area!
However, PCMag *did* do a direct comparison with an EVO 4G and also found that the EVO 3D performs terrible with respect to 3G voice quality and data.
My result was not unique.
Also, I test phones not just in my home, where I admit that Sprint has somewhat weak service, but I drive all over New Jersey. I have a 20-mile circuit that I follow and test how the phone operates in both strong and weak network areas. That's important to test.
I also tested the phone in New York City, which is 35 miles from where I live.
You can't ever say that I don't give each and every phone a fair chance.
Please do not take my questions as being unfair. I am not some of the young in this forum. 😁 I realize that you perform tests that are readily available to you and I do rely on Phone Scoop for accurate info. My question was legitimate in regards to whether you performed the same test for both the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D. I just want to know if the antennuation is equal to the original EVO.
I have seen other reviews on the 3D with the results resembling yours.
I guess I may purchase the 3D and hope the signal reception is. as good as the EVO 4G. That is the info I am looking for.
Thanks!

That's part of what I do. I don't mention it in every review because I felt that was understood by readers. If it isn't then I'll see about correcting that in future reviews.
