Sprint's EVO 3D from HTC hits our lab - The Box and Goodies

3d-10Not too long ago I made a comment about the iPhone losing ground in the smart phone market. Not too long after that I started looking at the mobile phone market; not because I was trying to find some information about on smartphone purchases, but because I was interested in a new phone. The phone I was replacing is one of the most popular Android based phones on the Market. It was actually one that many people went to after the issues with the iPhone 4 (the grip of death). In fact that is how I ended up with my HTC EVO 4G from Sprint. The phone that caught my eye was another HTC phone. This was the HTC EVO 3D. This is a dual core high performance phone with a 3D Screen that does not need glasses to view.  So I went out and picked one up, let’s see if it was worth the money and time.

 

The Box and Goodies -
Phones these days do not come with much (never have really). The boxes are usually just big enough to drop the phone and a few odds and ends. Sometimes the boxes can be nice looking. I know that I have always liked the iPhone boxes for their style. The EVO 3D came in a box that was plain white and made of what looked like recycled cardboard. On the top of the box the words EVO 3D was embossed and HTC has added a slight shadow to the box to make this more visible.

This part of the box is nothing more than an outer shell though. The important and fun stuff is on the inside in a much more colorful package. Once you slide this out you will find the EVO 3D sitting right on top. HTC and Sprint have wrapped it in a protective cover that is intended to keep the phone safe and clean, but also happens to have an advertisement for Telenav a navigation add-on that also costs money to use. After we pulled out the EVO 3D and dumped out the boxes contents we found a bag with manuals (in multiple languages) a wall adapter and a USB cable that doubles as a charging cable and a data cable (for the HTC sync if you install that).
