Advice quick! Sprint phones

I'm getting ready to dump AT&T for sprint.

Thinking of getting evo shift. (I want the keyboard)

Or should I say screw the keyboard and get the regular 4g?

Get this.

The EVO 4G is a bit outdated anymore. It has a single core 1 GHz processor and only 512mb internal memory (which isn't much). EVO 3D has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor and a huge 1730 MaH battery.

Ahh damn! I think I can upgrade to that in 30 days. I can't do it today though. :/ (The 3d)

I know somebody that has it and they like it also. I guess I'll try the shift and if I don't like it I'll get the epic or 3D.

go into a sprint store and mess around on their phones see what you like best. I was in there getting my evo 4g checked out and i messed with the 3d... world of difference. and the 3d on it is insane. To test I downloaded nova 3d to the phone in the store and holy shitballs that phone was running an fps game at least as good video quality as the first halo and it was 3d. It blew my mind. Of course the cost of that game was courtesy of sprint haha, a measly $4 they can shake it off, better yet that's probably where the random fees come from hahahaha.

My vote goes to the Evo 3d or the Motorola Photon, Although the photon is a beast its processor is a tad slower at 1ghz dual core, but it runs from a Tegra chipset and thats super low power consumption so long battery life. however they didnt have one set up in my store yet.

that's because console FPS gaming sucks. :p i can only imagine the control scheme on a smartphone is even crappier.

Find Stealthman100 on here (or you might have to go to the other site). I hired him at Sprint 7 years ago when I worked at Sprint and now he is a store manager. He will have the best unbiased info on everything. Tell him I sent ya.

MATT! how you doing brother? :)

Thanks for the info, I get to try the shift out for free. I can upgrade it or take it back. So far I like it but it still doesn't pick up here great. Better than my AT&T but it isn't great.

Ohh theres no doubt the controls were terrible. Simply stating how well the phone could run it and how good it looked :-P.

And thanks, I love these wheels haha

Looks like a pillow!

Well the sprint seems to barely pick up better around here. I don't think I can deal with it. :(

I have the HTC Sensation which is close to the Evo 3D in specs. The 1.2GHz processor is fast! Plus im running Android 2.3.3 and HTC sense 3.0. This is coming from the Desire that was 1GHz and 568mb ram.

If you're having issues check out the Torch...ya ya its old, blackberry, etc. BUT....it gets 3 bars out at my camp where everything else (no matter what the network) only seems to muster maybe one bar.

I just wish this damn thing would pick up just a little better and I’d be happy. I’m afraid it isn’t going to work out for me though.

Motorola Android phones are crap for the most part. Motorola likes to make phones difficult to root. Plus i've heard nothing but problems from those who have motorola phones. I have the Evo 3D and love it. the 3d is a gimmick, but the other features make the phone worth it.

That's pretty much what I heard about the 3D. I thought about trading mine in for one but I'm pretty happy with the Shift.
