i mean unless im blind this is the rezound #2. no wonder they are pulling our devices off the shelves and basically giving them away for free.
i mean the designs are identical minus the 3 capacitive buttons. im not sure what verizon is thinking here?

Yeah just saw that. Honestly, I don't like the styling changes from the Rezound to that. If only the Rezound came with NFC, then there would be absolutely no reason to envy any other device.

i just saw this too was about to post. That phone looks like a fail. Rezound is 10x better 1.2 dual core, 1 gig ram, VGA front cam. Sense 4 is all i care about and we have it already also nfc is nice but to be honest, who uses it? lol

How is this a stupid marketing move? The Rezound is in a different class than the Inc line. The Rez is low upper tier whereas the Inc is high middle tier. The Inc 4g will have a qHD display, not the 720p of our device. The Rez successor is essentially the One XL, which VZW hasn't released a version of yet.

the designs are almost identical down to the red accents. so they drop the ball with the rezound but i bet they market the hell out of their "precious" droid line.

I wouldn't say they dropped the ball, necessarily. The Rez just had horrible timing. A month, essentially, before the most anticipated flop, I mean, device on VZW in the Gnex? Then the mighty Razr line. VZW will always push Moto devices harder than HTC because Moto plays nice and HTC doesn't (in their eyes, not for people like us). Moto keeps everything locked down and HTC is more user-friendly. I seriously doubt the Dinc 4g will be marketed any more than the Rez.
EDIT: and the red accents thing is HTC, not VZW, ie the Sensation and every other HTC device of the past year.

Interestingly enough it says on that article (taken with a grain of salt) that it has Android 4.0 with Sense 4. Interesting. If true, I wonder if it could mean that at some point Sense 4 *could* come to our rezound?
This is all about the DROID branding, therefore it'll get pushed hard, but the big thing the article doesn't mention.
Is the dual core, a Snapdragon S3 or S4?
If it's S3, we got it beat, if it's S4, this device is a bit better in terms of raw power and ability.

If this is true I guess I'll have to 'hand-me-down' my Rezound to my wife like I did with the DROID Incredible 1.

yeah but the specs still don't match that of the rezound, according to the rumors.
its HTC'S Mid range device like the ONE S for verizon
thunderbolt 4g → rezound (high-end)
incredible 2 → incredible hd (mid-range)
And you would think the 'Incredible' would be a high end device by name alone! Bastards..

The Rezound feels like the Dinc did in its launch which is great I love my Rezound, everything reminds me of the Dinc. The Dinc 2 felt like a completely different phone, still great but nothing like the Rez or Dinc.
blue snake is right... the Inc was the flagship, then the Inc 2 was nothing.. and the tbolt was nothing... and even though the rezound is nothing, it's much more like the Inc 1 instead of the tbolt

Sorry to be off topic here but I played with the One X (ATT version) and noticed that they weren't quad core the only thing they had going for them is the 32 GB internal Hard drive. So I did a bit of research and the international version of the One X are the ones with the quad core.

Sadly, yeah. Only the international version has a different chipset, pretty retarded if you ask me but the at&t one x seems to be a little more tweaked in a few aspects if you see a side to side comparison, though the one s seems to have it's tweaks as well, sadly.

It's an iPhone marketing thing, they're way of trying to convince others that whatever they have is better than anything else, they never lower their prices, so resale value basically stays firm until a newer version comes out to lower it.

Actually it's Samsung that's doing more damage as they are sort of the face of Android these days. They lose a case for copying and people think all android phones are rip offs of iPhones. They even added a single home button to the bottom after removing all capacitive buttons.

Right, well anyone can be a victim of these broad patents.
I think it's funny that Samsung owns most of the cellular market share now.
Personally, I still hope for a later reversal of that final ruling, especially in light of the recent overturn of Koh's initial injunction. I hope that reversal is somewhat a bellwether against AAPL's frivolous nonsense.
Nonetheless, it'd still be nice to have JB on my evo lte... and beating the GS3 to it would be icing on the cake. Just not at all a fan of that phone.

To be honest and unbiased I owned HTC phones (Mogul, TP1,TP2,Evo,Evo3D,and EvoLTE) the past several years and now I am on my first Samsung phone. I hated not having a removable battery on the LTE and the nonexistent Sprint LTE and 3G in the DFW so I bounced and picked up a GS3 on TMO. The ELTE does things better than the GS3 and the GS3 does things better than the ELTE so it is was it is, you can't really trash either phone. In the mean time HTC is losing money and marketshare while Samsung is the No. 1 smartphone manufacturer worldwide. I could care less who gets Jelly Bean first...LOL

Who cares about quadrant scores? Try thinking about real life performance.
I currently have the EVO 4G LTE and the GSIII and can tell you that they are equal in speed and performance. And honestly, out of the box, the GSIII is much snappier. The LTE is a better device to me because of the kickstand, but that may be the only reason.

Well, it started with the many replacements of the tbolt, then HTC's hard stance against updating their tablets kinda pushed me over the edge, then they updated the flyer/view to broken software and they wont even fix it. Now the Rezound is having touchscreen issues. So I'm just tired of dealing with the problems and the lack of OEM support after purchase. I appreciate the Dev community for the zound, but sammy seems to be stronger in that dept. So I think I am going to give them a shot. I won't touch Moto with a ten foot pole. It may be a bad move, but I'm willing to take that risk after all the issues I have had recently with HTC. So for me, from here on out, it's going to be Nexus, or Samsung.
Samsung is worse.
I love my Rez and I still think of it as probably one of the, if not the most undervalued android phone released to date, but I don't see myself going for yet another carrier exclusive device after this. Of course, reviews might be so great for the DNA that I could change my mind but so far I am not that impressed.
Having said that however, the lack of a LTE capable Nexus 4 kinda limits the options for those looking to upgrade atm and I really cant see myself with a Galaxy S device. Wish Sony would be given a chance at penetrating the US market, they seem to strike a fair balance between corporate dev support, hardware and software quality.
I'll be getting this. The hardware and build quality will be top notch, it can be unlocked through HTCs dev website and be able to load cm. It was between this and the note but son, I am dissapoint at it having the older gen exynos and 720p screen on a 5.5 inch screen.
no, my next phone will be honor 2 or note 2
battery is important factor to me now
i dont think i will ever came back to htc
even im sense-boy
Nah, samsung isn't worse.

Its looking like ill most likely be getting it. I'm thinking ill be getting the DNA and one other new gen phone probably a GSM phone since I have two contracts, one with ATT and one with Verizon.
But I will be more careful than usual with this purchase. I'm currently so broke I can't afford the down payment on a grilled cheese sandwich. But this phone is a priority, and I owe it to the BAMF community. So I've been saving my pennies and will be selling some stuff to raise some funds.

samsungs radios and signal are 10x worse.
in my house, my gs3 gets about 6kbps download on 3g.
my rezound, when its not pulling 4g in my house (which the nexus and GS3 CAN'T), pulls atleast half a meg to a meg per second. doing anything on the gs3 on 3g is terrible, and ridiculously slow. fb app won't even load. rezound loads it no problem. hell, i even tethered 3 tablets to my rezound last night and while we were all browsing at the same time, ti was STILl faster than my gs3
i don't think i'd buy antoher samsung phone ever again, and i really want the DNA...dunno if i wanna fork out 600 bones for it tohugh
First of all i would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the developers that have put their time and energy into the DNA.
Secondly i just wanted to inquire if there would be any possibility of the DNA getting Key Lime Pie (when it releases of course) with the assistance of the talented developer repertoire?
There's a possibility i'll win the lottery tomorrow.
So I would say yes, there is a possibility.
With HTC's track record and this being a Verizon only device, I would bet on no. Not to mention that they have already shifted their focus to the M7 which seems to be headed for a multi-carrier release. I'm sure they will go (almost) all-in with the M7 since it might make or break them in a lot of ways.
Just my opnion, but like was said above, anything is a possibility.

Which would be a shame. I was thinking about picking up this phone outright. The M7 doesn't impress me at all.

I'm not so sure VZW will be getting the M7 though.
and to the OP, we most likely won't see KLP officially on our phone, but considering the M7 is mostly the same hardware as the DNA, It SHOULD be easily ported. I had a rezound that had ICS and Sense 4 long before ICS was officially supported on the phone and that phone NEVER officially got Sense4.
not to mention someone already has Sense 5 on their DNA (sense 5 being released with the M7)
Has Key Lime Pie actually been talked about anywhere besides rumors though?? just curious.

What doesn't impress you about the M7?
The only "con" I can see is .3" smaller of a screen than the DNA. Other than that, it is mostly an improvement over the DNA.

Not enough of a difference to make me say I regret getting the DNA.

If you already have the DNA, you shouldn't regret it. I doubt the M7 will be a night and day difference in performance. It all depends on Sense 5 for noticeable performance gains imo.

i dont regret getting my DNA. its an excellent phone. Key Lime Pie is slated for a release sometime in May, so i was just wondering if the DNA would get it in one way or the other. I mean, my OG Incredible got a Jellybean port lol

Your son most likely has it on full brightness and playing games all day because if you're comparing the battery life with the tb...oh man... But battery isn't bad at all

Yea, it doesn't have any of the red accenting (or anything similar to that) that gives the DNA it's premium feel.
Also, I believe that the DNA will get KLP since its so popular and such a super phone.

Yeah I am very interested to see how sense 5 is. I like 4+ but I hope that the scrolling from screen to screen isn't so heavy. That's the only reason I use nova prime on this phone.
