Nintendo 3DS($249.99) vs HTC Evo 3D($649.99) - Nintendo wins by KO!!!

I love HTC, I think their sense UI is brilliant and adds a great deal to even the latest build of android OS. I wouldn't buy an android phone that is not HTC because I believe them to be head and shoulders above everyone else. Having said this, I was anxiously anticipating the HTC Evo 3D. It features a gorgeous 4.3" capacitive touch screen display and glasseless 3D technology as well as dual 5 megapixel cameras with flash and 720p 3D video recording.

I was positive the 3D would be better than what Nintendo did with their 3DS. The main complaint I have with the 3DS is I believe the screen is too small. I wish they would release an XL 3D model. Well, to my surprise the 3D on the Evo is terrible. Reports say it gives you a massive headache. And the viewing angles are even worse than those on the 3DS. The 3D is done differently than the tech in the 3DS. On the Evo the 3D effects pop out of the screen while on the 3DS you get added depth to get the 3D.

Also the Evo 3D doesn't have a slider to adjust the 3D effect. Everyone's eyes are different distances apart and knowing this Nintendo allows you to adjust the 3D so it is comfortable for your unique set of eyes. With the Evo you are just left with a massive headache unless you are lucky enough to be blessed with a set of eyes that happen to match the systems 3D output.

The HTC Evo 3D is a great android phone and is a huge improvement in every way over last years Evo. However, if you look at the 3D aspect alone, it gets curb stomped by the Nintendo 3DS.

The next challenger will be the LG Optimus 3D android phone wich features 3D and is said to have a much better 3D effect than the Evo 3D. We'll wait and see for it to release later this year.

why would you compare a phone to the 3ds :?

Did HTC design the phone to compete against the 3DS?...

No its just a phone with glassless 3D, a very powerful phone at that. And its $200 with a contract.

What should I do in such a situation except a facepalm?

The only reason this topic came up was because people were saying that the Evo 3D will knock Nintendo out of the handheld market and was a threat.

Nice attempt at being comical though. I've found wittier comments on the back of a cereal box.

The Evo 3d is 200 bucks with the 2 yr plan, which is to say that the price is 200 bucks. The 650 is the ridiculous price tag they throw on it to make 200 bucks sound like a deal, which it isn't.

I looked at it, and the 3d is absolutely horrendous, so if that's the way the 3ds is all I can say is, "Thank God they have an off switch for the 3d."

I'm actually quite irked with Sprint right now, I got the $175 upgrade on my account, but that doesn't bring the price of a new phone down anymore than the $75 dollar upgrade, which means the upgrade means absolutely nothing, since you get the same "deal" walking in off the street and starting a plan.

I have a Hero right now, and that phone is a turd.

Oh, hey... Sorry my comment did not touch you in a humorous manner.

I'll try to rectify that in the future. You have a nice day now.
