As the title says, I'm going to start a new contract and get my wife a Verizon phone also, does anyone know of good phones coming out around February or March?
I want a high end phone something to replace my beloved rezound.
Should I just wait? I know the sgs4 is coming soon... Any advice would be great. I'm willing to wait. I do prefer htc phones but the dna's screen is too big for me. And sd card is a must

If you're willing to wait just wait. HTC phones of late = far form the quality they're known for producing. SGS4 should be good and well worth the extra 3-4 month wait if you only plan on upgrading every 20 months.
I would wait and see what the next batch of phones will be. Im sure that it will be worth the wait. Imo

Supposedly the Droid Incredible X is rumored to be the Galaxy Nexus 5 and will hit Verizon soon. It sounds really impressive. But as of on the market now, definitely a Galaxy S3.

Sorry to say this but wrong on three accounts. The galaxy part of the nexus name was Samsung's idea for their version of the phone. Google wanted to call the last one the nexus prime. LG was/did get the contract for the new nexus and this one is the 4th generation nexus which would make it the nexus 4. Sorry..... Rumors have it that the new nexus may not make it to Verizon because the LG version of the phone will be on the network. From what I have read the only difference is that the nexus variant will sport vanilla android. This may not be a problem though with the hardware being the same the roms should port right over. Personally, if I were you I would go nexus. They have by far the best update rate of all of the phone available.

So in the next 2 weeks? Call me skeptical... to say the least. Also if that's the case then I probably wont be getting the One because I'm 6 months out for an upgrade. Guess I'll get whatever's after the One.
I am leaning more toward that the one will replace the dna in wal mart stores due to space constraints, but vzw, amazon, etc will probably continue to sell it
That is disappointing but alright at the same time.
All it has over the DNA ( most likely ) is the camera and development crowd from being global.
Oops :silly: almost forgot storage

And just like that the HTC DROID DNA IS EOL
iSheep... iSheep... Meowww that's Apple VZW GSIII
I saw this coming a mile away and people hated on me like no tomorrow. The first minute we heard about the One, I said that the DNA would be dead to HTC and Verizon. They were just too similar and it was obvious the One improved on some of the cons of the DNA. It was almost like "oops, we made some mistakes on the DNA, so here is our real flagship now".
With that being said, I just got a DNA again last week and am enjoying it. But let me be straight....If the rumors are true and Verizon is getting the One or even their own variant of it, I will buy it on launch day without even thinking twice.
Must be nice to be able to afford multiple phone purchases within a month. It amazes me how people buy new phones every other month. I don't see how people don't lose tons of money on doing that...

I actually made $50 to get the DNA last week lol. I traded someone my Note 2 and he gave me $50 for me to take the DNA off his hands.
When and if the One becomes available or gets announced officially, I will sell my DNA for $400-450 and either get the One for a couple hundred more off contract or use another one of my upgrades.
I usually never come out of pocket more than $100-200 to get a brand new phone. You just gotta work it and don't let your devices get too outdated. I absolutely love getting and flipping devices for a new one withing 6 months to a year. It's fun and actually doesn't really cost much. Especially compared to other hobbies which can cost much more.

Oh my god. I'm just sitting here and hoping what is assumed will become true! (This stuff is always a hit or miss )
Pretty glad things came up and I didn't upgrade to the DNA 3 days ago, that would've hit the regrets pretty hard (not that I don't like the DNA; but I do have a preference for the One and there seems to be issue with rooting the DNA with the OTA. I was really wanting to install sense 5 on it)
I've been sitting on the verge of my upgrade, contract ending on the 22nd. Will probably pick up the 32GB variant, going to assume the phone will be good enough for me as is without root.

Dude, you don't even know lol. I'm not married (yet), but my girlfriend just laughs now and calls me crazy. I have literally been through about 5 devices in the past 6 months.
I went from my S3 to a HTC 8X Windows Phone (I had to try it lol) to a DNA to a Note 2 and back to a DNA. Not to mention shortly before that I had a Droid Razr Maxx.
I'm a phone whore and I happily admit it!
You guys are kind of jumping the gun. Walmart choosing not to carry both phones doesn't mean the DNA is EOL or that other resellers will follow in their footsteps. So VZW may kill the DNA in favor of the One but they haven't even officially announced their carrying the One yet. And a "Droid" branded device helps shore up a brand they've spent a ton of money building so there's room for both if they see fit.
Regardless.. Eol or not, I'm not bailing on the DNA, knowing that a newer better phone cycles out all the time... No real reason at the moment.. I'll wait to see what's up next
DROID DNA 5
Yea most definitely. However, if I could go back three weeks I would have waited for this. I had the PUK lock issue today for first time...all Verizon store did is reissue me new SIM again...maybe if the issue happens again (which it will) they will give me a One...
This just in, pigs are flying.

I dont think you can go wrong either way honestly. The DNA is a stellar phone. Most people believe it's still on par with the S4 if not better then it. I came form a GNexus and I can honestly say that I would rather have the DNA then suffer another day with that phone. lol. The One is going to be awesome if it ever comes to Verizon but I'm personally tired of the games they're playing about it.
its really up to what you want in the end. they DNA is good enough. the S4 is a bit faster but plastic and has 13 mp cam. the One is premium build quality with 4 ultrapx and a hair slower than the s4...I would recommend the One...i ended up getting a DNA like a couple of weeks before One but am still very happy

I went to the vzw store today and messed with the DNA. IMO it feels a lot like my old original incredible. I like the wireless charging. I really want sense 5, but will the DNA ever get that without rooting?
I really need better battery life too. I've got an OEM 2100 battery on my nexus and barely get through a work day with about 90 minutes of talk time and 90 minutes of screen time. From what I'm reading both the DNA and One get great battery life.

I believe the DNA one of the devices Sense 5 will be rolling out on. The HTC Butterfly, which is essentially the internation version of the DNA, already has an official Android 4.2/Sense 5.1 leak available.
I wonder how long I'll have to wait if I were to hold out for a One or follow up to the DNA. I sure like the button layout better on the DNA than the One. That home button on the right is stupid IMO.

If you'll be paying Verizon's price, I'd wait out for the One/DNA 2.
Also keep in mind that the DNA has 16gb of memory, while the One comes with 32gb as the base option. I personally would wait a bit longer just for the extra memory.

A "hair slower" is a relative statement. The benchmark differences are exactly what you'd expect from a .2ghz difference, though for real world usage the difference is negligible.
The DNA is great, it's here now, it's marginally different from the One, and it's not very expensive anymore. Especially with the prospect of moonshine S-OFF, which would enable you to get Sense 5 if it doesn't show up in an OTA any time soon, I say go for the DNA.
Well it has been an awesome 2 years of learning and crying with my fellow note friends but alas I got an upgrade and gonna try the HTC one tomorrow. You have been my friends and teachers to all that is android and everything I've learned in the note forums will be cherished forever. I'll stop by from time to time and check in.

Exactly Ray, I said the same thing months ago! I said unless we speak out HTC will let the phone go. Also I said HTC would be smart to release an update between now and April of next year as April (for Sprint many will get update on 1/1/14) before their contact ends so they have faith in HTC. Seems they are finally starting to listen. Now if they would put a removable battery and microSD card slot I would give them a second chance. But the battery on my EVO LTE is already starting to go (take it off the charger with no use and an hour later I'm at 90%). and it will only get worse. And the only way to fix it is to spend a lot of money to open and change. Where if I get the SGS4 or Note 3 I simply have to pickup a battery online and pop it in and it's like I have a new phone! I could deal with a 32GB phone with no microSD but I need the removable battery! You listening HTC?!

Exactly Ray, I said the same thing months ago! I said unless we speak out HTC will let the phone go. Also I said HTC would be smart to release an update between now and April of next year as April (for Sprint many will get update on 1/1/14) before their contact ends so they have faith in HTC. Seems they are finally starting to listen. Now if they would put a removable battery and microSD card slot I would give them a second chance. But the battery on my EVO LTE is already starting to go (take it off the charger with no use and an hour later I'm at 90%). and it will only get worse.

You can order a new battery for about 17 dollars shipped and it's actually pretty easy to replace yourself. But I really doubt this phone will ever get 4.3. Why would they skip 4.2 for 4.3. There is not a lot of compelling features in 4.3 vs 4.2. 4.2 now is much better than 4.3 later. HTC is just trying to save face because everyone just realized they orphaned the phone so early. Mark my words 4.3 will never come. They are just trying to make it to a time when less people will be vocal about the phone being orphaned. **** HTC for life.

Well I'll keep thinking positive for now as it was the President of htcusa himself who announced it. If the year ends without it then I'll start singing a different tune. I honestly won't ever get another HTC if we don't at least get 4.2 with Sense 5! Also skipping 4.2 for 4.3 is the normal and what everyone's doing since it's only minor changes..
