I've had guys ask me to help them setup their DNA and I had taken them under my wing to teach them more advanced things with previous devices.
They got some AMAZING deals on DNAs through eBay and craigslist. So there are deals to be had if you can wait on one of those perfect deals.
One of them bought a Verizon presidents cabinet employee edition for about half what s regular device usually goes for.

I just a week ago purchased a Droid DNA from craigslist for $150!! Brand new in box never opened it was a insanely awesome deal.To be honest I hate it coming from a nexus 4 HTC sense feels way to lagged down for me. If anybody is interested I am planning on selling it listing it on swappa but if anybody is interested in here could work out something. Much rather have this phone go back into the android community rather than selling it to somebody in Asia who is just going to resell it for a higher proffit.

So I started with a RAZR when it was the buy one get one free. Had 7, Verizon offered me a nexus, had 3 of those. Trade the nexus for a htc rezound and a ps3, had 2 rezounds, traded that for a Droid 4, traded the Droid 4 for a RAZR. Biggest circle every of phones for me! Lol. And I might have a gut that wants my razr for a nexus, but I don't think I'll trade.

If you just signed a contract, bring back your X and get the X+. If you're past your return time I personally don't think it's worth paying full retail for the X+. I have both and the X+ is nice, but not with paying $550.

I was concerned with it myself, but so far it's ok. Battery isn't quite what I expected, but I'll take that to get the additional storage. With this being rooted with an unlocked bootloader, I'm guessing selling it won't be a problem. Especially if I can get the SIM unlocked.

You should at least go and talk with the store manager at your local AT&T store. I bought my One X on Sept. 24th and the manager let me return it last Friday (11/17) and pay the difference for the X+. He didn't even charge me a restocking fee. I just paid the $100 difference.

Hi, I bough the HTC one when it came one on T-Mobile, then after 4-5 days of use I decided to return. The reason was I had the Galaxy s3 before and thinking that the Galaxy s4 is much better watching online reviews. And I went and bought the international version of Galaxy s4 i9500 for $775 cash. Thinking its octocore and it has to be unbelievably fast. Now after using the GS4 I realized that HTC one is a much better and faster phone. Everything on the one is PREMIUM.
Now Im trying to get rid of the i9500 and get the HTC one back.

I will never buy a phone with non removal battery. Its stupidity. Here in europe you get 2 years for warranty and 6 months for battery. If you are unlucky after one year and battery is gone you have to pay to much for a replace battery or if you try to change it by yourself you loose warranty. Thats stupid in a phone of 700 or more euros. And so far i saw from comparison s4 is slightly better. Thats all because I say. Lol

Why be so childish over a phone? If you don't like the HTC one then why are you on this forum? No need to bash other phones just because you "think" yours is better. I have the HTC one and I love it because it's for me, my girlfriend has the gs4 because she's used to touchwiz and I've played with it and it's also a great phone. Stop all the bashing and just enjoy your phone. It's all about personal preference.

Because Android and iOS have polar opposite philosophies. Android offers users choice; and choice leads to freedom, ultimately entitlement. iOS says my way or highway. Capitalism vs. Communism.
I had the silver a couple of weeks ago than traded it in for the gs4 which was just horrible. Today my new HTC one arrived in black. Now I'm faced with a decision. Yesterday the GS4 had an it's update which made the phone work as it should finally, but I love the One. We all know the background on which phone can do what and why one might be better than the other. But now that the galaxy works well and the lag is gone I'm having a real tough time deciding on which to keep. The note feels amazing in the hand and is true quality with a great keyboard but the screen size on the gs4 is so much better when surfing. Help me decide guys. I will post this on the gs4 forum as well.

In my opinion i prefer the HTC one. I had 2 galaxy s4 returned due to overheating and battery drain like crazy. I was waiting for s4 but now so disappointed. I have returned for Htc one seem the best phone so far. Hope this will help you decide.

I have to admit that there is just a certain level of sexy added to the stealth black one. I however really have no issues with my silver one. I think I will just keep it.

The speakers are a bid decision factor for me as well.

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

Well not officially but I don't know how it couldn't.
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 knew there was a Sense 5 ROM out there by newtoroot, but I am wondering if there will be one that comes OTA from Verizon or HTC.

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.

Depends on what you're paying for the DNA.
The max you should pay is $50 on contract $375 off contract (used).

The vzw store had the DNA for $200 on contract. The cheapest one on swappa is listed at $390.

As mentioned the Butterfly has been confirmed to be getting 4.2.2 and Sense 5. So once the Butterfly gets it then the DNA will get it later on. Rumors are possibly with an OTA as soon as August.

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

The funny part about the one being slower, the s4 snapdragon 600 is overclocked a good amount over the HTC1 and its still only a hair slower shows how HTC > Samsung. Enough said

To add to this, HTC also confirmed that's the next butterfly is coming out 3rd qtr, which means a US version won't be far behind

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.
