The HTC EVO 3D is an Android 2.3 ("Gingerbread") smartphone that allows for the creation and viewing of 3D content through the use of two 5MP rear-facing cameras and a glasses-free 3D-capable 4.3" qHD touch screen. As with the previous two incarnations of the HTC EVO line (the HTC EVO 4G and HTC EVO Shift 4G), the EVO 3D will be available exclusively on the Sprint network.

History

Sprint announced the HTC EVO 3D during CTIA in Orlando, Florida, on March 22, 2011. On May 2 Best Buy employees received permission to start receiving pre-orders for the HTC EVO 3D, but only if a customer who was not planning on buying a currently available model specifically requests it.[citation needed]

On May 19, 2011, information was leaked on various websites of a possible June 4 release date for the phone. The leak appeared to originate from an internal Radio Shack email.

On May 24, 2011, it was confirmed that the EVO 3D has been locked down with a cryptographically signed bootloader, recovery, and kernel image - thereby most likely foreclosing custom roms such as Cyanogenmod. On May 24, 2011 HTC released a statement via Facebook, saying that they are reviewing their bootloader policy. On May 26, 2011 Peter Chou, the CEO of HTC, announced on Facebook that "we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices." [4]

A Radio Shack ad leaked the price for the EVO 3D at US$199.99 with 2-year contract and $599.99 without contract, with a trade in credit on the HTC EVO 4G of $100.

A second Radio Shack ad leaked on June 1 indicated that the EVO 3D will be released on June 24, with pre-orders ending on June 24. It maintained that the EVO 3D will be $100 off with the trade in of either the HTC EVO 4G or the HTC EVO Shift 4G

On June 6, 2011[5], Sprint officially announced that the HTC EVO 3D will be available on June 24, 2011.
