I think you are bashing the EVO 3D here. Please stop.
Information for you to think about:
Smartphones are not designed for battery life, especially not while being left on a table.
Autostereoscopic screens naturally lose their colour and brightness due to an extra glass/light guide layer for 3D purposes.
Selling a phone depends first on the branding done for that phone.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 uses the same MHL TV adapter.

Had my HTC Evo 3d for a month now and i should say that am complete satisfied. I bought this for 250£ (207£ by ASDA has been sold out already), for this price it does a lot better than the Iphone 4g. I was a iphone owner till date and i can say Evo 3d is miles apart in terms of performance and UI, no more turning back to apple Os and i love Android the way it is. I will happily recommend this phone to my friends and family. The 3d is just a addon and i wont recomment this phone for 3d only purpose.
I saw lot of -ve comments on this but to be honest this phone perform better than any 500£ handset for the price tag of 250£...Just go for it

I'm not going to persue this any further, but just to reinforce what I was saying, go to HTC's OWN Blog page and read all the complaints from Evo owners on the comments section.
http://blog.htc.com/2012/03/ics/
A LOT of Evo owners are saying exactly what I was trying to point out; that HTC have deserted the Evo 3D.
There are a LOT of people complaining about the lack of support for this model.

I agree with a lot of your comments but also disagree with some of them.
As a mid price phone, it is only £207 now, it is good value... but...
I don't agree with your comments about the battery life. The display is always ON, whether you are using it or whether it is on 'Idle'. Both my phones have been on idle for the last 2 hours. When I checked my SGS, the display was drawing 42& of the battery's power; the Evo 3D was drawing 57%. THAT is where the problem occurs. The SGS has had regular updates, unlike the Evo, and Samsung listened to their users and addressed the problem with the battery, whereas HTC haven't. As I has stated before, I get 5 days use out of a single charge on the SGS due to updated Firmware.

Since i got this phone it never restarted or froze. I acutaly get better signal than my previous LGkm900 & htc wilfire s. I have no problems while talking to it, i can even hear it louder and clear now. Before i had this phone my girl firend was always angry i didnt hear what she was saying on the phone.. now the problem is gone :P i hear her loud and clear. The phone is working fine, latest games are running without a problem and it's the first phone that i can read the display in the sun. For me is a big difference and at a verry low cost. And by the way.. i tested my phone.. I didnt touch the phone after i charged it for a whole day long.. only 5% of the battery was gone in 24h. The battery drains fast only when the display is on. Great phone, i love it.. and at it's price it does much more than it should.

@Freefaller and Ray
I understand your arguments guys,i know this beloved phone of my has issues.Just like most smartphones out thr.But do not sound as if its a waste lf money coz not everyone thinks like that.Read most reviews in this very column,most people are indeed satisfied with their EVos and i am one of them.You should also consider its lower price.The SGS2 was the best phone of 2011..no doubt.But HTC came up with something good here.Dont make this beast sound unusable coz i am using it now and i am happy.Thats all i am saying.Not everything is up to scratch but still this is an amazing phone.I will stick to my 4 out of 5 rating.minus 1 for battery life and updates.

I appreciate that you love your Evo 3D and I respect that; but you have to realise that many people, including myself, find it seriously lacking, and you should respect their views.
This following are comments from a review in PCMag, a very highly respected magazine. The article includes many fine points of the phone, but also states.....
When it comes to basic phone functions, the EVO 3D fails. I struggled with reception and Internet connectivity issues all through my test period. Calls sounded muddy and garbled, with some syllables swallowed by the phone. The earpiece and speakerphone were both of adequate volume, but voices were muddy on both sides of the connection.
and.....
The HTC EVO 3D is the most baffling phone I've worked with in a long time. It has a super-fast processor, but awful reception and 3G connectivity. The 3D blows your mind, until it gives you a headache. It connects to TVs using an adapter nobody can find. It's a bunch of brilliant, but half-baked ideas.
If I were rating its spec sheet, the EVO 3D would get an easy Editors' Choice. I mean, come on! Dual-core, high-res, 3D, 4G, it's everything you want in tomorrow's smartphone. But the EVO 3D experience has enough missing parts that it's a buyer-beware, early-adopter phone. Mainstream users looking for a Sprint smartphone should stick with the proven Samsung Epic 4G ($149, 4 stars) instead.

@ Gasforbuzz
To be fair, it was an expert review I linked to rather than just being someone elses opinion. The reviewer spends a lot of time with a lot of different phones, so they know what they are talking about.
My own personal experience with the Evo was a poor one. I spent something like 10 minutes with my sisters Evo and was distinctly unimpressed. The 3D was underwhelming and a real pain to get the phone at the correct angle to see the 3D effects properly. Those 10 minutes wrestling with the screen actually gave me a headache.
Anyway, I'll leave you alone to play with your HTC and wish you the best of luck.
Cheers.
Ray.

Ray,thats juss someone else s opinion,at least use benchmarks comparing it to another smartphone.doesnt it compare to the best phones from last year?On top of that it has the 3D aspect to top its amazing specs.I am not saying its the best mobile.But dont you try make it look like its a complete flop coz i am using right now and satisfied.The Galaxy S has an amoled screen,so what??I Love 3d,i love the SRS Enhancement,i love this beast!!Ice Cream Sandwich is coming soon.It will make it even better!Hail THE mighty HTC EVO 3D!!i give it a rating of 4 out of 5 now use this link coz i am an expert!!

I have 8 months using this phone its a great phone, don't allow Samsung users with their plastic image and tedious touchwiz to deviate you from buying or using this phone peaceful. HTC is for those who are sophisticated and we like it that way. sophistication is our daily language as HTC users. Big up HTC

I haven't tried to persuade anyone to change their phone to any make. I have only pointed out the inadequacies of the Evo 3D.
HTC released this model as their 'flagship' model and then promptly forgot about it. It has outdated Firmware and outdated software, and there has been no announcement on 'if' or 'when' it will have an update.
As you consider Samsung phones as 'rubbish' I would point out this....
My wife received a Samsung Galaxy S as an upgrade to her phone. I advertised it on a well known Internet auction site and it sold in 47 minutes. I have advertised the Evo 3D on the same site to try and get rid of it. When I listed it I noticed that no one else with this phone was attracting bidders. In 3 days I didn't receive ONE bid, and that was dispite reducing it to a lower price than anyone else was asking.
That answers your arguement.
