wonder what my new phone will be

Touting an impressively large 4.3-inch 960 x 540p resolution display, speedy 1.2GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor and Google’s Android 2.3 mobile operating system, Gingerbread
720p HD 3D video and Full HD 1080p 2D videos with a HDMI port allowing for HD video transfer.

YES
My contract runs out next year in june(ish) hopefully by then the 3D will be worn in (you know, never get the first batch of technology it never stands up to the later models) and there'll be some very powerful phones out with 3D on offer for contract

3D phone? Gimmick much? Also it'd be a dual core Scorpion processor (Snapdragon is the system-on-a-chip).

this would be sort of silly on a phone
if you switch from portrait to landscape then you'd lose the effect

Nintendo said fingerprints and smudges distorted the 3D effect, I wonder how HTC handles this. Beyond that, I have to wonder what the point is, there isn't much 3D content to begin with.

EDIT: Also, the 3D pics/video are a nice novelty, but can only be viewed on the screen (practically speaking) making it ultimately not that useful beyond the "ooooh+ ahh " factor

I expect all phones to eventually adopt 3D just like they have touch screens.

there's a difference between a user interface and a display
