One of the great things about working for mobile phone accessories supplier is that I get to see a lot of new handsets and pretty cool accessories before anyone else

This week we had the SIM Free HTC EVO 3D in the office and I won’t lie I was disappointed.  I’d really got my hopes up about this phone and was even considering getting it as my upgrade  - so when I finally got it in my hands it was like being told Santa isn’t real all over again

Looks wise, it’s lovely – bit thicker than the iPhone 4 but it was a lot heavier  - I would have problems putting it in the pockets of my cardigans and some of my jeans because it would weigh them down.  I was willing to let that slide if all the features matched up to my expectations, but they didn’t.

The 3D of the camera made my eyes go really funny, I couldn’t actually focus on the screen so taking a picture would be a nightmare because it would take forever – also it may be good to take 3D pictures but unless you have a 3D TV and your friends have 3D phones you can’t share them! So they’d be no Facebooking your pictures unless you took them in 2D – this kind of makes the 3D a little redundant.

Next I thought I’d look at the 3D games, but O no you can’t because 3D gaming is an add-on you have to buy for the handset – so really all you get is a 3D camera and a heavier phone :/  Honestly I’m not sold but I have got the SIM Free Blackberry 9900 coming into the office tomorrow, so maybe that might convert me back to BB, otherwise it looks like the iPhone 5 will be my next handset.
