Went to bb today and they had a working demo. Ran nicely, not sure what I could do with it as there no service. Sales guy thought it would be in store may 5th... $199.

From my understanding, no. But I'm mostly looking forward to an upgrade from my touch pro...

And it would be a heck of an upgrade. But it really needs a dual core CPU to be competitive with the handsets coming out this summer, almost everything is dual core.
 
Depends how much you value Google software updates and size (Evo 3D is a brick) vs. features.

You guys that disappointed with the specs, hold out for evo 3d then?

I'm on Sprint with a HTC Hero & I'm thinking about waiting for the 3d. I'd love the Nexus S if it was dual core.

I'm just hoping the 3D can be disabled and that it doesn't reduce the screen quality for 2D in any respect.
 
I have a Touch Pro2 and am waiting for more Sprint dual-core phones to be released this summer. Samsung Epic looks tempting, but it seems its about to be trumped by some of their new phones. I got the $150 upgrade credit burning a hole in my pocket.
 
Yea sprint is really late to the party this year; the G2x at tmobile was pretty nice (played with one today); tempted to switch providers if sprint doesn't come out with something soon. They started last year with a bang (evo) and since then it has been all down hill. Since then t-mobile has had 3 phones that interest me; verizon 2. Getting tired of waiting on sprint (nexus S would have been interesting 6 months ago but it had no sdhc slot and today there are simply better phones).

I really fail to understand what it is that people are doing with their phones that makes another core so necessary. Most reviews have found that while having an extra core can improve performance in some areas, it's not so significant that a single core with a faster clock wouldn't be able to offer similar performance.

They didn't start the year with the evo. The evo launched in early June. It was announced at ctia just like how the evo 3d was announced at ctia. The evo hasn't even been out for a year yet.

The Samsung Epic came out late August. And remember that the evo and the epic both got rated pretty highly by the media.
 
I guess personal taste; the phones that interested me last year were the captivate; droid x; and now the g2x. The evo was interesting but battery life just sucked and the epic was a fat rock unlike the captivate/vibrant/fascinate.

Today all the providers have dual core phones 'cept sprint. I'm really not hung up on a dual core; but I want a phone with decent battery life and (big plus) nice and thin. The g2x was really very nice and the s2 also looks nice. Anyways with my luck the sprint galaxy s2 will have a freaking keyboard - and the evo3d 2 hour battery life - makes me want to give sprint the finger.

The iPhone 4 is a single core.

And don't forget iPhone 4 runs @ 800MHz also! And Android's multitasking isn't very much different than iPhone 4. Though it MAY have it in the kernel, the way to access your other apps are in very much the same fashion as iOS. Only WebOS and QNX has true multitasking capabilities.

What is your definition of true multitasking? With Android I can have my podcast app download a podcast, have my browser download a video, have pandora playing, and read an ebook. How is that not true multitasking? Because I can't have thirty apps quickly available to switch to? It's a phone, I can't imagine what your doing that you need to switch back and forth between more than six apps regularly.

Verizon doesn't have a dual core phone yet either so Sprint isn't behind the game. Sprint since last year has had the cream of the crop of smartphones and will get it again with the Evo 3D.

if that's your definition of multitasking, then iOS has it too. You can download podcasts, play pandora, read an ebook, and download a video via safari.
