It'll sell but not like it should since HTC can't figure out how to put a big battery in a phone.

This and only 16GB with no SD, locked bootloader and craptons of VZW bloat. I feel bad for HTC really...
I don't think the locked bootloader or bloat will affect sales much. Not many people are going go with something else because of this - it's not like Verizon has alternatives. Most people probably won't even ask what the battery size is and just see the 12.5 hours of usage and think it's enough. People just getting off of a 2 year that don't research phones also wouldn't think to ask if it has a sd card slot since that was standard last time they got a phone. Kind of like asking if a tv comes with a remote, you just figure it does since they have for a good while.
Sides are red and griled only for design

I share your excitement but I'm pretty sure one of the HTC reps said the red grilles on the sides are only aesthetic, not speakers or anything.
HOWEVER. They have incorporated 2 audio amps, one for line jack and one for speaker! So line out will be getting around 2.5amp vs the normal 0.5-1.0amp (or was it volt? idk) So louder music with less distortion!

unless you live by the boondocks and constantly jump between 3g and 4g, lte can actually use less power, since it can finish a download and turn off like 5 times faster than 3g

The phone is the only quad core phone on Verizon other than Note....and that has a screen way too big. Verizon had kinda screwed with the Butterfly because it had a SD slot and more battery. Verizon could have made this one of the most popular phone on the market with some nice ads and stuff like Samsung had done with S3. Ah well, when will they learn that giving users what they want will make both sides happier.

Really its not HTC its all Verizon because you see so many ads for Sprint, AT&T, and T -mobile HTC devices. Verizon controls HTC a lot with sd slot and battery. Why make one x+ have 64 gigs and not their flagship? That's Verizon for ya

Let me dive a little further on what i like and dislike about each phone. I hate the red soft keys. I dont like a non removable battery, unless it has good battery life. I want it to be fast, and i think the rezound may be a touch faster. I want a decent camera, not pro quality tho. I will switch launchers to go ex so its ok with any skin. I do want to be able to turn just my data off. I like that. Can the data on the razr be turned off while still being able to make a call? Can the red soft keys be made white on the rezound?

I don't know what to buy, I'm still caught up in the mix between Sensation XE, Galaxy Nexus and RAZR. But in my opinion, if you live in the US, Rezound is definitely the best choice, if an international version was announced my mind will be sat on it without any hesitation, it would relive me from knowing the winner of that triple-threat match cause it easily knocks all of them most specs wise (GN got no SD card smfh) and support-wise.
Of course, that is unless you care about the design a lot .. cause Rezound ain't good-looking as the Razr, not even close.
Its those damn soft keys being red that makes me not want it. I personally do not like that. Seems feminine to me. If they were white, i would prolly go with that. Im on vzw in the usa. Any reports on battery life yet on razr? Sometimes i need long life on battery while away from charger. Mainly when i got hunting. Otherwise, i always have a charger. One at home work and in truck.

Wow, you don't think much do you? I really hope your post is suppose to be sarcastic.
Rezound is just another Quallcomm S3 spu equipped device like the evo3d but it is clocked at 1.5ghz. The 300mhz speed bump doesn't help it to be faster than a TI OMAP4430 soc since omap4 is has real dualcore cortex a9 architecture unlike the Rezound offering a A8 based enchanced "a9" cpu. I would choose the Razr day and night against the rezound and i am sure many will do the same. Since OMAP4 the referance SOC for the ICS, there shouldn't be any questions. Painting the phones back cover and earpiece grill, overclocking the same cpu doesn't help. Htc should learn that.
Well the Sensation isn't exactly well known for good battery life, and my Desire HD was dreadful. So until they prove they can sort that problem out, I have no interest in any HTC handset.

well, battery can be unscrewed and replaced, i'm sure
i don't know but I seriously doubt HTC Rezound has anything except the (super) high resolution.
But can the phone specs manage that? A lesson learned from the HTC Desire HD...never ever trust Android + HTC + Super High display Resolution...
You will be kicking yourself later..

Yeah, little details like that would be good to know. Turning off 3G whilst abroad is a real pain to do on my wifes moto phone, hopefully they've simplified that on the new raze
he is right, galaxy nexus has not got sd card slot... and there is not going to be a 32gb version... at least clove said don't wait that (even sgs2 has no 32gb...)
The Galaxy Nexus does NOT have an SD card slot. 16gb and 32gb versions have been discussed but who sees the 32gb version, and when, it still a bit vague.
Im due an upgrade in 3 weeks and based on the non-expandable Nexus, and the lack of the Rezound in the UK, im now looking at the RAZR or the Sensation XE .....
Facts are spoken though, Galaxy Nexus does not have an SD card, which ruined the whole thing for me. It's a great phone tbh, but SD cards are a must regardless of the phone's internal capacity.

I'm in the same boat, the RAZR is the better device but the dev support (And HTC's reliable updates) of the Sensation (XE or no XE) is getting me confused. I'm leaning towards the RAZR but I don't believe it'll last as long as the Sensation will, software wise. If you made a decision lemme know.

Sensation XE has a pretty stylish design with the red (read: red, it isn't pink-ish red, it's #FF0000, I saw it live [I was suspicious too] but it's great) and it's well-rounded, fair-sized and it goes with the headphone perfectly. The red color though might not really fit business, but in my case, the modern design and red color it's pretty fantastic for me. It isn't more girly than the RAZR with it's thin casing and Motorola logo.

umm.. as with the iphone, the battery may not be a simple "slide off back cover, remove battery"... but you can replace the battery. it's just more a matter of completely opening up the phone(as you would to say replace the screen).
I've replaced iphone batteries many times for friends/work. you do it once, then its no big deal. just with the iphone/razr setup, its obvious there will be no extended battery at all.
on a side note, the razr is mainly about looks. not to say it isn't a good phone or anything... it does have nice specs and will most likely last you some time. as far as 'razr vs rezound' goes though, the rezound isn't quite as sexy, but it is a more powerful phone with more features.
basically, if you want the best, get the rezound.. if you want something stylish/sexy, get the razr.
To be honest Im not too bothered about battery as my Desire barely lasts a day so I am used to charging from a PC at work and also in my car...
plus all these external battery packs (such as the one being advertised by Duracell) seem like a suitable problem solver.
Hey guys sup!!!
Anyway, Tmo US is bringing in the HTC One S. Wondering what you guys think about it. Is it worth to switch, or just keep the amaze? I went form htc sensation to htc amaze in 1 month, now i'm not sure if i should do the same and switch to htc one s.....
if it were the htc one x with quad proc then should be a no brainer, but TMO US the way they are argghh, just don't get why they didn't get the htc one x instead....
any thoughts??? Also, I believe the galaxy note is now workable in TMO US, as someone here got it to work with a different radio....
I wouldn't, if people think battery life on the amaze sucks, it'll probably be worse on the one s because it has a smaller capacity battery, as for me the upgrades are very nice but not quite worth it to switch from the amaze. I don't like how OEMS are starting to remove the search button, its something i use all the time.
the fact that it has a non removable battery and no expandable memory are the killers for me. hell, i dont like the fact the amaze has an internal sd, but its tolerable
I agree, too soon to switch. Dev. is picking up and once the release of 'you know what' comes out it'll be a free for all. Nobody is working on 2.3 anymore, its the calm before the storm. I see lots of good things on the next couple of months for the amaze
If you don't care about not being able to pull your battery or increase your sdcard storage then upgrade.
Not being able to install a bigger sdcard and not being able to pull the battery are deal breakers for me. 16gb of storage is not enough for me. I'm already past 16gb on my 32gig. Not being able to pull the battery also means you won't be able to replace it with a better extended life one. We all know stock android batteries suck ass.
In my opinion, the one s is not much better than the amaze. Besides sense 4.0 it gots nothing else on the amaze and almost nothing at all when the amaze receives the official ics update.

One series has a kill switch instead of a removable battery (so u can mimick a batt pull, but can't replace a shot battery ) and the no removable/expandable memory is a DEFINITE buzzkill... But it does come with internal storage and that Dropbox hack built in for an extra 23 GB

I remember when I got my hero, I upgraded from a touch diamond, and I was blown away at the screen. That's what an upgrade should feel like, I look at my old one and then the new one, and you can definitely tell that there's an improvement. With today's phones, unless you're buying something that's got a 3D projection on it or something beamed straight to your brain, I think trying to top what we've already got is going to be pretty damn hard. 1080P? I can't notice much of a difference.

I think you would notice it on a 4.7 inch screen. Hell, my mytouch has a 3.8 in hdpi screen and I can tell a difference between that phone and my amaze. Maybe you need glasses?
The One S is a lot faster than the amaze.. supposedly ~60% increase clock for clock based on the new "s4" snapdragon. But that probably isn't enough of a reason to jump ship unless you have a lot of money you want to burn. The screen is also kind of weak on the One S. Hopefully tmobile gets a version of the X.
It has ics and suppose to be faster but can't upgrade the battery or memory i would pass

I said much of a difference. The current screens are very good nowadays anyway, the differences are miniscule. And I already wear glasses
btw, samsung can kiss my ass!
1080p on a 4.7 screen would be so pointless.. it would also be laggy, much more than 720p. even wvga looks decent on the titan, qhd look good, 720p looks amazing, thats a waste of tech/money lol. just my 2 cents.. most people that have normal human eyes don't notice a difference between 720/1080 unless the screen is around, or above 50"
samsung hasnt released a superamoled plus screen with anything above wvga as of now anyways, i dont see why or how they would jump to 1080p. unless they have been working on something for a quite a while
I don't get why some of you like to drop so much cash on new phones that do the same thing. Talk about wasting money.
From what I've read on the engadget review, the amaze has a better camera for stills. Plus once ics hops along we should be getting better battery life and performance.

I agree, I had to wait for a tax refund to buy my amaze, had the G2 for a year before getting the amaze and that was only because it was free with a new account. I'll stick with it for awhile now, I love tech but I don't find a need or have the cash to upgrade every 6 months when some l "cutting edge" device comes out.
Once some "other" things happen for amaze it'll be even more of a beast.

It won't get Sense 4.0 officially, but developers are already working on Sense 4.0 with ICS 4.0.3 and it's a day or two from being released as a daily driver.
Even then the One X is a quad-core phone, there's no reason not to get it.
Although I don't like the white.

Honestly, do you really think you'll notice the difference between the S3 and S4 in daily use(if you're getting it American)? I'd rather have a 4.3 inch screen with 720p, than the gigantic 4.7, its nicer, and plus we have removable battery and sdcard space, a huge plus. The Rezound can run sense 4 perfectly fine, HTC just wants the one series to be their main money makers.

That could be a problem. I don't think you'll have much luck using the rexound up there. Its not a global phone and even though it has GSM radios, people are having a hard time with data and SMS outside of Verizon. I'd get the one x.

I don't care what a new phone does if you can't take the battery out.
Those are two really good reasons that nobody wants a nexus.
Performance wise, it won't be the deal breaker, since the dual core pretty much handles everything smoothly unless google optimize the next generation os with quad-core. Bigger engine doesn't always run faster and more efficient , especially in this high gas price age.

The nexus has a removable battery.
I don't mind the whole not.having an sd card thing. I'll be honest, it didn't bother me one bit. It takes five minutes to copy all the files over to your computer, and with the WiFi file transfer apps, its even shorter.
I definitely wouldn't base my decision of which phone to buy on whether there is a removable ad card. Unless someone can explain some great features that I simply haven't found yet.
With that said, the rezound is an awesome phone while amazing hardware. I absolutely love it

If you are on GSM I would do ONE X all the way.
If I were buying a new phone I'd probably buy a Lumia 900. But since there will probably never be a VZW version, I guess I'll stick with the Rezound!

Even if Google optimizes the OS for quad cores, it'll only help for the actual Android system itself, not any of the apps you use, half the apps in the Play Store only use 1 core anyway and won't probably ever change that since it's not needed. (Facebook for example, Pandora, etc)
The S4 is a beast processor, best available, Tegra 3 is good for pure power but probably nothing else, I'd hold off on it honestly if you're rocking anything in the past few months.
Now if the One S came to Verizon with a S4 in it, that'd be a better debate.
The two phones I would be envious of right now is the HTC One X and Galaxy S3.
I recently held the One X demo/fake unit in my hand and it was nice. I liked how thin the bezel was all around. It was almost all screen. But it doesn't have a removable battery and I doubt with my heavy usage habits it would last me all day.
With the Galaxy S3, it has a 2100mAh battery which is impressive, but a comparison showed that it is similar in size to the Galaxy Nexus, which was too wide for my hands.
The Rezound still has a very nice screen, and a fast dual core that will still be fast enough for a while. Now that I have the extended battery, my phone easily lasts all day even with my heavy use.
So I'm not itching to get a new phone yet. I wonder what the next wave of phones will be like. Then I'll have phone envy.

With the Galaxy S3, it has a 2100mAh battery which is impressive, but a comparison showed that it is similar in size to the Galaxy Nexus, which was too wide for my hands.
The Rezound still has a very nice screen, and a fast dual core that will still be fast enough for a while. Now that I have the extended battery, my phone easily lasts all day even with my heavy use.
So I'm not itching to get a new phone yet. I wonder what the next wave of phones will be like. Then I'll have phone envy.

Im sure by the end of summer most of us will be drooling over some aspect of the new wave of phones.
I agree. The new phones are nice, but the rezound is still better. People think it is an old phone. It may have been out for a while, but it still has specs that beat 99% of the other phones on the market.
Huge envy over the One X. I will be grabbing a variant of it when it hits Verizon.

I won't claim to know someone super in-the-know, but the person I do know has said that Verizon won't be getting a One variant beyond the Incredible 4G, which isn't really a One series phone. I'm hoping she's wrong, but I'll probably be going with a GS3 anyway. 2gb of RAM? Yes please!

I am interested on the GSIII if it has better radios than the galaxy nexus. If it does I will own that phone.

F*ck that! I will never buy a sammy GS3. It is too damn ugly. And touchwiz looks HORRIBLE. So ugly OS & Hardware? No thanks!

You of all people should know the OS can be changed!
Hardware, not so much. Not sure why Samsung decided to beat it with an ugly stick.

Not me. If I were buying a phone today (and it were available on Verizon), I'd take the One X over the Rezound... but, thats only because it IS a better phone... To say that I'm envious of it though would be a lie, because the fact is that I am still extremely happy with the Rezound and feel that it hasn't even the chance to show us its full potential yet.
Not envious of any. One X is cool but lack of removable battery blows me. I burn down two extended batteries in one day sometimes.

Man, I never knew how nice it is to have an extended battery. Just not having to worry about battery life is a HUGE plus. Even having a thicker phone is worth it. It makes the Rezound look awkward, but it actually feels good to hold.
Between the One X and S3, I think the One X looks better. But if I were to choose one to buy, I would get the S3 just for the bigger battery. Also, the S3 would probably be more root and S-Off friendly.
From the various article I've read, Verizon will not get the One X, but the S3 seems probable.
P.S. How do you go through 2 extended batteries in a day? I thought I was a heavy user with all my game playing and web surfing. I can still make it through the day with just one extended battery.
The only thing Im jealous about that the galaxy has is aosp. As it is getting harder to get aosp working on HTC phones I may consider Samsung for next phone. I love htc I just home the rezound will get it someday

Verizon has said we're not getting any One variants which is a bummer because I wanted the One S to come badly.
That being said, all my phone envy is on the other carriers.

From what I understand the GSIII will house the same LTE chip that the incredible HD and HTC one series that house the S4 chip.

Tbh I'm up at 6 am, phone off the charger and I'm listening to morning Jams. That's like 40 minutes streaming, then I drive to the subway then get on the train for 30,that's more of me streaming music, surfing the Internet, texting, on uno online. Then I get to work and literally use my phone from 9am to 530. Streaming, playing, netflix and texting. And I have my screen on auto or max. Then I'm back on the bus doing the reverse. Get home, back to streaming and more. But sometimes I work overtime.
Long winded but bam. That's me burning through them.

So my upgrade is in a couple weeks. So I'm debating between this phone, Samsung galaxy s3, or the Samsung galaxy note 2. What are your opinions on droid dna

Imo, unless you absolutely need to have a battery that can last a whole weekend get the dna. If you do need that kind of battery life then get the note

This phone is kick ass. Battery life is great. If you're in an area where you're not going to be using the internet for a bit then I would suggest turning your data connection off. You will still be able to get texts but you can't browse. The Note II is too damn big and the S3 has a lot of signal issues from what my friends, who have the device, tell me.
Okay thanks for you opinions. I been stuck with the lg revolution since I got it when it came out. Worst mistake on picking a phone ever

Samsung quality and looks are nowhere near HTC. I had Galaxy SIII (and original Note), DNA is so much classier, looks better, feels better, perfoms better, has bigger screen, but doesn't feel bigger at all. Note 2 is a separate issue. It has some nice features over DNA, but still, it's Samsung, it's cheap. Also, like it was already mentioned, Samsung phones are full of bugs, and there radios are not good. Signal is weaker, problems with Wi-Fi..... And did I mention,that damn sleek cheap plastic! You think I formed an opinion about it yet?

And lots of added functionality......I own the DNA, its good but noting compare to the note 2 in many ways....if only size ain't a problem....for the s3 thats another thing since its almost a gen behind now

Just because samsung has a giant advertising budget doesn't make their phones better.

I'm really enjoying my DNA. I debated between the note 2 and gs3 but I've heard and read about their fragile screens. I can't have a phone that will break if I drop it. People knock the lack of sd and removable battery. But drop box gives you 25 gigs of space for 2 yrs, and as far as battery I can easily get through the day with moderate use and the brightness on max. After rooting and running this sweet Viper Rom the phone is smoother then a baby's butt.
imo.. but for not being 32gb or having the sd card slot, this is the best phone ever made to date. I manage my company's smartphone contract so I get to play with them all.
amazing build quality looks and feel. top of the line hardware specs..battery life is good... REALLY good/ amazing with the dev kernels available. quality custom Roms.. actually that's insulting.. incredible custom Roms available for this phone.
we're about to go s-off... life is good.

the note 2 is a creature onto itself. if you want an oversized plastic monstrosity that can perform... have at it.
DNA crushes the S3.. easily
and seriously.. if the file is THAT important the DNA has plenty of storage space.. if your music or other forms of entertainment are mission critical to access trapped under a building or in the middle of nowhere then you need to review your priorities in life.
as for the USA comment.. last time I checked the DNA was made exclusively from Verizon which last time I checked was a corporate entity doing business in America... so honestly the rest of the world can go suck it.. USA! USA! Lol
I would hold out for about 6 weeks and get the S4
I really fretted the decision of a new phone as my upgrade was from the Htc thunderbolt. I looked at the S3 it seemed ok but had a cheap plastic feel like I could break it by holding it to tight. Plus I dont care for touch wiz. Moto Razor maxx HD screen still has gray tint to every thing not as bright, dull colors as moto always had. And typical moto style. Thought both phones had good and bad as all do, when I looked the DNA at the big red store it was hands down the fastest phone I had ever picked up. screen colors beautiful felt better to hold than S3 or moto seems I forgot I ever had a TB was worried about no SD card but no problems yet and battery life is so much better than TB with extended battery I am truely a happy DNA owner hope you will be to

The big question is what makes this phone any better then the rest? Well for me its really just a couple things. The first thing is I like Sense. Now people say well whats Sense? They are widgets designed by HTC. Some of them include the Weather Clock Widget that shows animated weather on your home screen when the phones unlocked. HTC includes bookmark, people, weather widgets all designed by HTC. Now you maybe thinking well weatherbug has widgets already (for example). Their widgets are crap in comparison IMO. That said I also like the wireless charging (cost 40 bucks for the charger). I like the LCD display looks fantastic. The phone doesn't feel like a cheap plastic kids toy. And that's all I have to say about that.
