Sprint is expected to take the stage and unveil the HTC EVO 3D in less than half a day, but thanks to one of our followers, we’ve come across some new details. One of the HTC engineers (BlueScreen) who’s been working on the EV 3D has decided to give some insight into his team’s work on the new handset. We’ll simply give you some of the highlights from BlueScreen’s forum post, but we highly suggest you head on over to Android Forums for all the details. We have no way on confirming any of these features, but if you can wait a little over 12 hours we’ll probably have all the details on the Pyramid straights from Sprint and HTC.

I believe these specs are absurdly wrong. The engadget linked specs are more reliable as their were gathered at the actual CTIA event. While I’d certainly love to have these, I don’t want others to get their hopes up. But who knows 🙂
Isn’t the Evo 3D the HTC Shooter, and the HTC Pyramid.. well the dual-core device going to T Mobile, as the Pyramid runs rumored 2.4, Sense 3.0, and an 8 Megapixel camera.. clearly not 3D.
Was looking great and plausible until I read “unlocked Bootloader”
Well done had me fooled up until then
