Anyone think there will be a rezound 2 or will the dna be the next thing we all jump to?
A few Google employees that "leak" phone info are really loving this phone.
As for my opinion, no it's not a Rezzy 2. The DNA is beast!
The deciding feature for me will be whether or not it has space heater functionality. Without that, it can't truly be the Rezound 2.

My thought is that it will indeed be the Rezound 2... completely abandoned by Verizon.

I think this will be another rezound, tbolt, ect. most devs left for the SGS3 and the Gnex. and they havent been out for 2 years yet so i dont think that many devs will jump back to another HTC phone that is locked up tight. :/
How bout that HTC Thunderbolt? You guys think it will be the Rezound -1?

They can unlock the bootloader....for now....im gonna get in either in Dec or Jan, so from the looks of it...it has good potential imo
Thinking of getting DNA also for xmaxxx.

16gb of storage is unforgivable. I could have coped with a fixed battery, but being unable to pop in a SD card for more storage - not happening. The cloud is not an acceptable excuse, when data caps are hilariously low. USB OTG is likewise not a good substitute; my phone should not need a tail.
Also, not really encouraged by HTC's history of supporting their phones after launch - for instance, the ICS update which we only got half a year+ later than promised, on top of it having some bugs that will probably never be addressed. JB is a pipe dream.
DNA is amazing and also degraded phone
in few weeks / months
Samsung or other company will release a perfect phone
that's cover those degraded dna got
there no point to get it if u gonna feel bad it in few weeks

Not sure yet but I might let this phone go. I know its the new kid on the block, but whatever Verizon has to do with this phone being under lock and key irratates me, I've come from htc from Sprint which were the Og EVO and the E3D. Which wasn't as popular as the original, and by far isn't as good as the rezound. Sux I like this phone, but bottom line it easy to get bored with something your limited by. Maybe back to my tbolt for awhile.
Let me know any offers

Fer cryin' out loud, the Incredible wasn't rooted for about 2 months or so. It hasn't even been a month since this device came out and already there's a functioning, reliable temp root method if you really need your fix. Patience. I'd rather have a reliable method later than a brick-maker early.

No. Perma root has been done but it is too dangerous without S-Off because it may be impossible to recover the phone if /system or something gets messed up without a custom recovery.
trade you a thunderbolt for it...

2 Weeks ago when it first came out? Everyone is so damn spoiled now. I will admit I miss my Tbolt which my fiancee is loving right now, but I'm pretty sure this phone will be right there soon enough. I made the mistake of buying the Bionic. Much happier with this.

That's the problem these days. People buy a phone expecting root day one of release, or within a couple weeks.
I purchased the Rezound because it is one nice phone, stock! Now if someone accomplishes S-off and Perm Root, and I get to run CM9, then that's perfectly fine by me

Why do people buy a phone that they will only keep if it gets root? The Rezound basically provides everything that I rooted for on my desire. (Speed and app space and battery life). The rezound accomplishes this along with a larger, crisp screen, LTE, fantastic network, Sense 3.5.
It's like we have a car that goes 300mph but the factory put a speed limiter on it so we can only do 140 while others pass us by, left possibly being able to do a full 300 in the future, but by then a 600mph car will blow it away. I'm a phone junkie, I went from a iPhone 4s, bionic to rezound in 2days. Lol

We have an amazing phone, it's more powerful than all of the phones out right now, has decent battery life, decent reception, and doesn't look half bad - it's the tail end of the last generation of phones. It's nothing to be ashamed of. And we'll have a fully working CM very soon too. Yeah, the One is nice and all, but really this phone is a beast that's gonna stand on its own for quite a while. Top-of-the-line phones always lose their crown eventually.
yeah, we couldn't order DNA's anymore back in my store lol...guess she's dunzo.
I like my DNA. I don't think its worth it to get an HTC One because the screen is smaller, and no QI wireless charging(But when will i ever use it?) The DNA seems to be almost the same size. I can care less about the front speakers, but more storage is better. My DNA is smooth enough. The One's camera seems cool, and UI looks nice(but we may get an update). Hopefully we get a DNA+ instead.
Here's more on it from Android Central
http://www.androidcentral.com/htc-droid-dna-retired
Dna5
To answer a question above yes we will still see updates. The og incredible and charge got an update recently for crying out loud and those have been retired for over a year. I can bet however our sense 5 update just got pushed back. Hopefully not the usual Verizon time frame where we don't see it until 2014.

I like my DNA. Just hope the Htc one doesn't turn out to have issues like TB. Htc seems in a bit of a rush to put out more phones that are not super updated phones over the last model. I like the DNA screen size. Not real concerned with speakers as DNA sounds great with external speaker. Camera is fine, I will live with the camera till next upgrade. More storage would be nice but now not a deal breaker. Sounds like Htc is taking after motorola same phone some minor changes.! doesnt have me in a rush for a new phone as wtf another version is just around the corner in a few months lol. Just think of what will be out 2 yrs from now!!!!!

My rezound is going wonky and in need of a new phone. Question is should I get the DNA or hold off and see if Verizon get the HTC one? If I get it, it will be as a 2nd line.. should I get it and also wait til Nov for my normal upgrade and get whatever new phone comes out near x-mas?

I don't believe they are getting the one. The DNA is the best your going to get at the moment. Unless you wait for the gs4 that comes next month. Verizon is also supposedly getting the Motorola x this June. But the DNA is $49 with a new contract right now.

If you like custom Roms and kernels and such I would not recommend it. There's nothing wrong with the dev community but if you buy it now you won't be able to unlock etc unless you send the phone off.
I would wait for the gs4 personally.

Ok, yea I have been looking at the gs4 too. I might wait for that, just not a big fan of Samsung.. why can't the DNA be unlocked now?

Btw, when I say 2nd line. I mean I'm going to add a 2nd line but take the better phone and use it as my personal line(1st line) and put the rezound on the 2nd

The latest ota has not been cracked yet and as of now it looks very unlikely.
I'm currently just waiting to see what happens until the GS4 is released.
If we get a fully functional CM10 on the DNA I'll be perfectly happy but who knows.

Do you really want to play the "maybe i'll wait just a few more months for this newer phone to come out" game?
I'm sure the GS4, and HTC One are great, but DNA seems just as impressive ( based on video reviews of all ). Once Verizon releases sense 5 for it being rooted won't make a difference.
Rezound to DNA was an amazing upgrade, so much more battery life, NO HICCUPS, and an even more gorgeous screen that can be on for 4-5 hours compared to 1 hour, lets not forget 24/7 4G without battery drain.

No, I don't. But I also don't want an "outdated" phone.. that's why I'm getting ppls opinions and what they think. Especially the ppl that have the DNA

And yes I know new things come out all the time and its hard to keep up. But is it worth it to spend that kind of money on a phone that in a few months will be beaten by something else?? Is it worth the money at this time? Or wait for something better? .. I know near x-mas there will be another awesome phone, and I will have an upgrade then to get it.. but for now, is it worth the money to spend on the DNA when in a few months there will be something better????

Just wait for the DNA-HIV, it will be sick (pardon he pun).
And yes, there will always be a newer and better phone on the horizon. Just get one that at least has staying power, ie fastprocessor, lota of ram, and a good screen.

Lol, nice... Ok, so basically the DNA will be worth buying, say tomorrow??? ..... Is everyone happy with theres??

Just be prepared to jtag it.
DNA is a great device, I switched between this and my GS3 before I sold it and was extremely happy to come back to the DNA. Root would have been a deal breaker for me but since I unlocked and rooted before I took the OTA updates I was able to root again on the newest update. HTC has also always always (I don't care what anyone tells you) had better overall reception and not just with service and 4G but with WiFi Bluetooth too. My GS3 sucked when it came to getting strong signal and I doubt the GS4 will be any better with it, Samsung has always lacked in that department.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get tomorrow.. rooted is good, but its not gonna stop me from getting a device cuz I can't root yet. I know how good the devs are here at xda, so I know its just a matter of time... I remember buying the evo 3d and HTC saying the bootloader was unhackable.. but our devs did it.. so I have faith in the xda devs ... Thanks guys

No. Root ( practical root not ****ing # who am I?) Will never be achieved through software means. If some uber geek figures out how to do some sort of ground out through USB (impossible) then maybe.
Don't get a DNA. Seriously

Cause no one with the required knowledge gives a **** about the DNA.
Our devs are great but, we are talking doctorates in applied sciences.
And that'd be Master know-it-all to you.

Just because the people who are working on it aren't posting public updates on what theyre doing doesn't mean it isn't being worked on, and by some pretty damn talented people might I add. Anythings possible. All it takes is for someone to get lucky and find an exploit that lets us get rid of write protection for any amount of time.

I never said anything about updates. I'm on the irc and there is literally nothing that can be done till write protection is broken. I never said they weren't talented either.

And that's what's being worked on, a software exploit to break wrote protection... Once that is accomplished everything else is pretty easy.
