Red DNA - HTC Droid DNA

We've all seen the red version, going to some Verizon staff.
Would anyone have opted for the red instead of the one they are going to get?
A somewhat negative on that is the total shout out to anyone being filmed publicly in a candid attempt.
Plus holding it to your ear might even out trump the Note as to the "Hey, I'm on the phone", look.

Just FYI, filming people without their permission is illegal and judges tend to take that pretty seriously.
To me, this phone looks sleek. Adding a red back is trying too hard to stand out - like putting a giant ricey spoiler on a ferrari 458 to try to make what already stands out stand out even more.

afaik in public places it is not illegal. You have no assurance of privacy. I mean do you really think celebrities give their consent to the paparazzi to film them...

Wrong. Photography/videography is completely legal in public areas in the United States. Source: I used to be a photog for a news paper.

Way too bright red for my tastes. As a graduate of Texas Tech I do love the red & black color scheme of the regular retail version

There's a reason why they cover faces and such though. Celebrities are actually covered differently under law than "normal" people. When the press puts "normal" people in the paper, they ask if it's ok first (or they are supposed to). Well, it could be different in Virginia than other states.

Red is a little much, but I do wish they brought over the white version on the other hand.

---

I just wish they had added red soft keys like the Rezound. Other than that I love the way it looks as is.

Are you sure you aren't confusing the Red DNA with the Red Butterfly J or the Verizon Employee Red Razr Maxx?

I don't know. I may be.
Are there two different DNA reds?

Exactly, there have been lots of reports of people being arrested for filming police officers in public and in most cases the charges are dropped as it's not illegal if they are in a public area.

There's also an employee DNA with a red back.

no verizon logo, verizon plasters it all over most devices. doesn't the DNA have it on the back?

---

That's the HTC Butterfly J. You can have it if you move to Japan. It has a removable SD card.

---

100% sure that's the Butterfly J just by the "all" logo which is a carrier over there.

---

There are no pictures of it yet, but there was a source that said there would be as well as the Razr HD and M.

There already are pictures of the Razr HD in red so the source seems good, not that it really matters for us.

Eh that red/black diagonal stripe is hideous on that Razr HD.

Wrong again. They are only being polite by asking for consent. I can go out on any street in America, take photos of all the random people I want, and do what I want with those photos. As long as I'm not photographing someone who has a "reasonable expectation of privacy" (ie, through a window into their home, in a bathroom, etc), they cannot do anything to legally stop me.
