Do You Want a 3D Phone?

Touchscreens are passe, and no-one cares about the size of your camera. As of July 1 it's all about how many dimensions you have. HTC and LG are leading the charge, specifically the EVO 3D and the Optimus 3D, respectively.

With the recent outbreak of 3D technology, from cameras and video cameras to gaming and home entertainment systems, phones were never going to get away from it.

Cnet reviewers give reasonable credit to the
EVO and the Optimus, but it's certainly not everyone's cup of tea. The angle between the screen and your eyes has a narrow window of efficacy and it's easy to miss, which may put off people. The hack may not be worth the novelty.

As more phones hit the market with 3D capabilities, it will be interesting to see whether it's a fad or a legitimate feature people are interested in. If you can't get out of your contract and want 3D, get this cheat sheet.

We say skip the 3D and move straight onto lasers and holographic projection.
