A couple questions on specs...

Storage: This PS article states the EVO 3D comes with 8GB of on-board storage, expandable to 32GB. The PS specs state that it has 4GB of memory, and comes with an 8GB microSD card. HTC's website states that it comes with 1GB of internal storage, and 1GB of RAM (but, also includes a footnote). Not sure which is correct, or if perhaps they're all somehow correct. Can someone help clear this up for me?

Screen: I can't find any info on whether HTC bumped the screen up to an 18-bit or maybe even 24-bit. Anyone know? Or, did they leave it at 16-bit...? (I really hope not. I've been bitching about this since the Hero).

We checked the actual menus to find the amount actually available to the user, which is often lower than the "raw" amount. On this phone, it's 4GB. It's possible that it has 8 GB of "raw" storage memory but half is taken up with non-removable files.

All of the numbers you're seeing may be correct, though. That's because some Android phones have four memories: RAM, ROM, internal SD card, and external SD card. I've looked at so many phones in the past few days that I honestly don't recall if this was one of them. I can check. But if so, then it has an 8 GB internal SD card, 4 GB of which is available to the user, plus a 1 GB ROM (internal storage memory.) Plus the removable SD card. Plus the RAM (although that's a completely different kind ...

Great, thanks for the info Rich!

Any idea of whether the screen is 16, 18, or 24-bit?

Thanks again! 😎

Nearly all new high-end Android phones are 24-bit.

What exactly does it mean for a screen to be 24-bit?

It means it supports the most distinct colors that the eye can see and distinguish between, which is roughly 16.7 million.

A 16-bit display can only display 65,536 colors, which in practice means that many photos won't looks as smooth or realistic upon close inspection.

Imagine a photo of a blue sky that's deep blue at the top of the photo, fading to just a slightly lighter blue at the bottom. On a 16-bit display, it would have visible "steps" where it jumps from one shade of blue to the next, since it can't display very many shades of blue. That fading would be smooth on a 24-bit display.

On your average phone looking at the average graphics or even photo, it's not something most people would notice. But in some situations, it can ...

I have the LG Ally, is mine 16, or 24-bit?

I used to have the original Motorola Droid, but I had toooo many problems with it, touchscreen would act wacky when charging, eventually I couldn't even unlock the thing that's how bad the touchscreen was, so I broke up with Motorola like a bad girlfriend.

It shows on our spec page for the Ally that it's 18-bit. 😉

Oh, 18-bit, so not horrible, but not great?

Hmm, I didn't know Android phones have internal sd cards?!!? Whatever happened to just memory chips like the ones that are in laptops?
