Thus ends Vodafone brief flirtation with the UK HTC EVO 3D . Almost one month to the day after the first network has announced its intention to conduct the first HTC 3D, it confirmed today that it will not sell the unit after all. According to Vodafone, this is due to delays in bringing the phone on the market. EVO 3D was originally due to launch in the UK this month, but recently a more conservative launch window in mid-September was reported by retailers to store the version of the phone without a SIM card.
Here's Voda's statement in full --
There’s been speculation recently regarding availability of HTC EVO 3D.
We can confirm that due to delays in the launch of the HTC EVO 3D, we no longer intend to include the device in our smartphone range. We’ll be contacting any customers who registered their interest shortly.
We realise this might come as a disappointment, but we’ve got some really exciting handsets in the pipeline. Keep an eye on our coming soon section for all the latest information about the products coming to Vodafone.
We can not help but wonder if any of them could rival LG 3D Optimus, which is already available in the UK and continental Europe. While this is bad news, you can always pick up a SIM card without 3D EVO September, and it is likely that other carriers British stage and pick up the device now that Vodafone is out of the picture.
