Lol as in do you think its a good feature
NFC is already accepted by the major manufacturers and card companies as the new standard. They are all developing off of it.
Yea I saw articles about that. I hope they make an NFC micro sd that has storage to so the rezound can NFC

**** that. Too much critical information is stored on the SIM that SHOULD be separate from NFC.
They'd have to prove a seriously high level of security before I'd consider using it. That seems like something that's real easy to hack.
Nfc payments have been used in Japan and Asia for around 10 years, its really old technology. We just need to get American businesses on board and get with this international program =-)
The carriers are working on ISIS(sp?) Which only excludes sprint who is using google. They are locked via pins like an atm card. And honestly who really cares all that much if it gets hacked. Yes it would suck but the cards are insured. My credit card data got stolen years ago, I think something like 5,000 was used. I got it resolved in a week. The companies know the risk is high on credit cards, the process isn't too complicated.
I say bring it.

Well since Verizon won't let us use it anyway who cares..?? This is why I initially settled on the Rezound. Now I'm just plain happy that I skipped it.
Doesn't matter if Verizon doesn't want anyone using it. If the capability is there, it will be unlocked.
It's already been opened for the Nexus on Verizon. I've used it and it works well.

Hey guys. I am planning to buy a new Android device in 2 weeks. But since i am really not that interested in with this kind of stuff, i need your advice. I need a fast device, not super fast like SGS 2 but fast. i will use it for browsing web, social networking and gaming most of the time. A ff camera must have cause i might need to use it occasionally. And it would be awesome if battery life could get me thru the day. Also my budget is around $400. I have done a lil` research and highlighted those devices.
-Motorola Atrix 2 ( my most favorite one, but lack of support from Moto makes me think twice and of course locked bootloader )
-Htc Sensation 4G ( 1gb int. storage is a major con. for me. Also have heard problems with touchscreen and battery life )
-Lg Optimus 2X ( again lack of support from LG and, 512 mb ram? )
So in those aspects, what would you recommend me? Or any other devices that i should consider?
Thank you already, and excuse my bad English. Not a native speaker.
I'd go with the Sensation. HTC devices always have a great dev community behind them, and in turn, fixes for battery life and touchscreen issues. As far as storage goes, get yourself a 16GB SD card and you're sorted.
hope i helped
BTW. You're English is great, man. no need to apologise

The HTC Sensation just fits that need. Also easy to root and develop or install custom firmware.
Just a question..but if your budget is $400 why wouldn't you get the SGS2?
i have heard Sensations battery is not good enough. Most of the people i have talked with says they end up charging the phone twice a day with the stock battery.
And i cannot afford SGS2 cause i cannot buy the phones with plans. And Ebay prices are around $460-$490 for the devices only. And also cannot buy Sprint, Verizon etc. phones, I need a phone with the GSM tech.

AT&T currently doesn't have a phone that is powerful as the OG Galaxy SII. Sure there is the Note and SkyRocket but they aren't as powerful. I would like to know if this phone is still selling strong. I just bought one. But anyway, this seems to be the best phone AT&T has ever had. Maybe the iPhone 4s comes in second? What do you think?

Seems that everyone else doesn't want to play nice so I'll add my own opinion. I think that the only phone that will be able to give our phone a decent challenge will be the HTC One X when it comes to AT&T supposedly in April. It looks to be a pretty nice phone, hopefully AT&T doesn't mangle it too bad.

Will agree with this one, the only problem some of the other phones that AT&T carries is that they simply bloat them to death and it kind of gives the phones a bad rap when reviewed by alot of the review sites.
Would love to see a review where the majority of the phones are benched/reviewed side by side with stock firmware/rom's vs rooted/custom rom's
I came from a Motorola Atrix to this and it was a definite upgrade. Great phone, and imo atleast for NOW, its the best. I'm sure something will come along soon and trump it, but till then, we're the kings of the mountain.

It does look like a nice phone, and I would have probably gotten it as a 2nd phone if it had a micro sd slot. the S4 chip seems impressive, but I'm sure the next exynos chip will crush it though once it's released
Coming from HTC Dream (G1), it is a step up for me for SGSII. But of couse, AT&T screwed it up with how they managed this device (not reconized it as 4G..DUH!!!). HTC One X seem to be the up to the task to match up to SGSII. But then we'll have to see.
Well coming from an iPhone and inspire this way way way better then any phone I have ever seen att carry.like mention before the HTC one XL may be the only phone to challenge this one(maybe the rumored galaxy s3 ) but not being able to remove the battery is one of its downfalls .
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah the One X looks like the first HTC phone in a while that could hold up against the Samsung.
The GS III could be earlier this year than last year. If the att variant is as close to the international as the i777 was to the i9100, then the One X will be back-seated quick.
But, the Captivate is still pretty strong after two years. Heck, they had ICS before we did. I would guess the i777 will continue to be popular for about the same timeframe, 2 years.

"Powerful" is in the eye of the beholder. I love my GSII, it is way snappy, but if I am in the bay area (which I am pretty regularly) I cant take advantage of the LTE there. All depends on what you value.

The SD card slot isn't too big of a deal to me because of the fact that the phone should be coming with a 32GB internal storage which is what my S2 has with the SD card added. The non removable battery could be more of a problem if it has the typical HTC battery life. If I didn't have my S2 right now and was ready for an upgrade I'd definitely give the One X a chance.
Just read the specs on HTC One, unless I missed something, it looks like HTC made the display .2" bigger than the GSGII Skyrocket just so they don't look like they are behind Samsung. Ya it is a nice phone but not nice enough to leave SGSII.
Makes me feel much better!

I'm buying it, but only because it's the next big thing. I'll probably order it this weekend, and sell my EVO 3D next weekend with all of it's accessories to pay for it.
I like the larger battery. The processor is a huge upgrade. Sense 4.0 with ImageSense will definitely be useful (I have a daughter and I'm always taking pictures when we're out. Although, I just bought a $1000 DSLR, but I don't like dragging it everywhere with me). The fact that this model has an SD card slot, AND 16GB onboard is a big selling point for me as well. 4.7" screen gives me more viewing area (I'd get a note, but I don't think I could EVER get out of having HTC Sense).
Yeah i forgot about the camera that is another big plus. Something else i've always wondered was the B!tch Everyone has for the non removable battery. On my OG Evo i had 6 batteries i carried around with me all the time. I hated that. Why not just buy one of those recharge packs and if you need battery in a pinch use that. So many ppl i've seen are throwing this under the bus because of not being able to remove the battery.

Its permanent. There is also a temp custom clockwork recovery that they are using to flash ROMs. They have a couple guys who have S-off on their phones but its still a WIP to get the bootloader unlocked. Looks really good for EVO LTE owners so far.
I am still on the fence about getting it. Due for my last yearly upgrade on June 1, but with the ICS leaks and the impending official release, I think I will be good for at least a little while longer. This phone getting root would drive my decision a little further to one side or the other.
Another point I forgot to mention is ACTUALLY having a true Beats capable phone. Not kinda works/kinda doesn't.

Is HTC abandoning ship on 3D? Are there any new phones with 3D from HTC?
I bought the EVO 3D because I'm fascinated by it. I guess I still haven't outgrown it yet.
I like watching movies in 3D. I like playing games in 3D. I taking pictures in 3D.
The reason I have not flashed a current rom with the ICS leak is I don't want to lose any of the 3D features. Its the sole reason I bought this phone. Turge's KingCobra 2.4 is about the best it gets before things start failing. I'm sticking with it at least until there is an official update of ICS and everything in 3D works.
Anyway, what is the future of 3D as far as HTC is concerned?
.
They've given up on 3D... I woundn't expect any more 3D content except just having 3D working in future updates.
Also, the 3.6 leaks have 3D fully working.

This might make the EVO 3D more valuable in the future.
I remember using my Audiovox SMT 5600 at work. I could leave it on my desk and walk anywhere in the factory up to 400 feet and the Bluetooth headset would still receive just fine.
Most, if not all of today's phones only broadcast up 30 to 40 feet.
I guess my point is that sometimes abandoning a feature is not always a good thing.

Au contraire, monsieur.
First of all, you have 12 sons? That seems like a feat in itself. Also, you should have put "The 3D *function* is a* gimmick; only my 12 *year old* son enjoys it."
Also, while you might not like the 3D, that is no reason to put down others who enjoys it. By your above statement, you are implying that those who enjoy the 3D function are immature; this statement is clearly untrue. While it is true that many people get headaches from watching movies or playing games in 3D, that is no reason to insult the ones who don't. So please, if you can't state your point in a less insulting manner, don't say anything at all.
On another note, your post reminded me of the "an hero" thing .

Thanks! sort of proves my suspicions that it should make the phone worth more now that its off the market. People who want this 3D feature and can't get it would pay more for it.
I would absolute love to pick up two or three new GSM phones at $150.00 each. I don't think that's possible.
If someone has a link to these prices, please post it. I am sure there are some dealers out there who would love to unload such an unpopular phone.
Kind of reminds me of when I tried to purchase a Volkswagon Golf with a Diesel engine. The dealership told me that no one wants a Diesel engine. I said ok fine then you should be anxious to get rid of them. He said it would cost me an extra $5,000.00 to get it with a Diesel engine. Make any sense to you?

My apologies. I thought you were talking about the Evo 3D.
sorry.
I dunno, maybe its just me but, 3D without wearing the glasses is huge.
This is the only phone that exists that can do that. Well Lg has one but let's go there. Not a good phone.
Imagine if you whipped one of these babies out during the Salem MA witch trials. You'd be cooked on a stick.
Imagine just 20 years ago speaking of such a device. People would have laughed at you.
I remember being a truck driver and going to truck stops and having to plug into a hub to get internet access. I remember saying why can't we log on thru our cell phones? I was laughed at. They told me I was living in fantasy land. That was when Bill Clinton was President.
Remember the Honeymooners? Ralph Cramden told his wife he was waiting for 3d TV before he bought a television set. That was 1959. Before I was born.
Now we have a device that fits in your shirt pocket that will play the latest movies in HD 3D and people say oh its a gimmick. Only an immature 12 year old would be interested in such a thing.
I don't know, maybe its me. Maybe I'm missing something here.
If you had the Verizon S3 (not another carrier)
Can you please compare :
1. Audio Quality
2. Reception (which drops more calls or fades in and out).
3. Battery Life (preferably battery life based on total talk time than surfing or playing games).
Hmm I don't even have to own the DNA to answer
1. Call quality has always been great for me on HTC
2. Samsung cdma radios don't compare to htc
3. Battery life has,been stated to be the same or marginally worse than the gs3.
Gs3 is a great device. Prob gonna come down to what u like better, sense or touch wiz. But DNA should be a very nice device.
I'll be able to share more once I get it in my hands this coming week, should be here by the 20th 21st the latest. I love my S3 nothing wrong with it but I love new devices and keeping up with technology. I will say off the back build quality has always always been better with HTC.
I'll share more once I get the phone!

As far as 1 goes - MANY of their devices had problems with BT over the years - you could hear fine but the person you were calling would get reduced volume etc - some of them they fixed this issue with firmware updates.
As far as 2 goes, the EVO on Sprint was great - the EVO 3D had similar problems to the S3 for reception.
When some people get the phone, we'll hopefully have some detailed analysis of talk time comparisons.

Is that because of radio issues or because you want 1080p?

Forgive the blunt nature of my reply, but what part of "If you had the Verizon S3" was it that didn't quite come across as clear in the original post??

Pardon my blunt nature when I say that,you asked a question pertaining to a phone that is not officially available so you must have asked this question in an open forum hoping the 4 or so people that have the device would reply
Take my advice with a grain of salt then but I am sure it will be an accurate answer to your question about this mythical phone until its release date and the masses own it.
at what point do I have to currently own the gs3 to be able to tell you about it. Maybe I have had extensive hands on with the device in such extent that I feel I can accurately talk about it.
I pre ordered mine, will get it soon. Only thing is that I wont be able to move my microSD card from the S3.
I just hope that ifixit teardown will reveal a hidden sdcard slot in the back some where then I will be happy.

You've doubled down on your ignorance. I am not the one that asked the original question.
Aside from that, take a look around. There are plenty of people that have already received these phones, and have been doing reviews on them. I think his question was quite legitimate, and think this thread would be better suited to include responses that are directly related to his question, including my own, which is why I'm dropping this now.

Then my apology to the op. I thought you were the one who posted that nonsense but now I see your just another person who actually didn't start this thread but happened to bash other people's responses. Troll much?
To the op, I apologize as my comments were not directed towards you. I felt as though I gave you an honest reply which is on the basis of your thread and this asshat has to chime in. The phone still isn't officially available.

If the Butterfly has room for one then I dont see why the DNA has no room.

Its not that there is no room, the general consensus is that verizon requested not to have one to make people use more cloud storage and thus more data.

Yes, but someone is selling a micro sd card specifically for the DROID dna leading to some speculation that the slot exists, just no opening for it.
I for one would be willing to open it up to put a "permanent" sd card in there.

Just because someone in china put droid DNA in the title of their ebay listing in hopes to get more sales doesn't mean there is a slot for it.

This. I find it extremely likely that the board is the same as the Butterfly's meaning there's the pins for a sd slot to be put in or possibly even an actual sd slot that isn't accessible from the outside, yet there's no way that ebay seller knows of this.
Alright so when is somebody going to open one up??? Lol
