I'd keep it as a backup, I'll be keeping my DNA as a backup when I move on, sell my current gnex backup. Not as much money returned, but really, a DNA as a backup is a pretty bad ass backup.

I almost sold mine, but was worried that it would have the no sim card error for the next owner. I'm pretty much stuck into keeping it. The sucky hardware buttons (not the volume or power button) on the s4 have been reason enough for me to stay with the dan.

So far there haven't been any phones that would be a large enough technological leap to warrant a new phone but if you do I'd keep the dna just in case and sell the tbolt

The s800 wipes the floor with the the s4 pro, though. The Note 3 is incredibly intriguing, albeit too big for me.
I really like my DNA. I am personally not a big fan of AMOLED. I have heard they have gotten better, but the GNex kind of ruined it for me.
On another note, it's pretty bad ass that the DNA will receive 4.3 before the Verizon GNex (that is if the Verizon GNex ever gets 4.3).

According to HTC's Jason Mackenzie , "Lots of questions re 4.3 release for One. We r wrking hard (needs cert) to release 4.3 across all US, Canada skus by end Sept. DNA as well.", the DNA is supposed to be to 4.3. Verizon's support page doesn't say either 4.2 or 4.3, so I guess we'll have to wait and see...

This. Everyone keeps saying 4.2, but the support documents that Verizon put out doesn't say anything about the version number. The only thing we're going on now is HTC's comment.

While the transparent screen is an interesting thing to see it never made any sense to me as a new technology to focus on as it just reduces the quality of the screen image. The note 3 is the most powerful so far but honestly will anyone notice the speed difference now considering how powerful both phones are?

Development has pretty much come to a stop. There is no AOSP, sense 4.0 still isnt flawless and other phones are getting further and further ahead.
Jelly Bean and iOS6 are coming out and maybe i should get a new phone.
I have always been a huge android fan despite having a macbook and ipad and I dont think i should get an iphone, right?
Should I get a gnex? Galaxy SIII? What do you guys think?
Thanks!

Do you think google is gonna release a new nexus soon? Should I wait?
I'd like to think they will release one end of this year or early next year... I'll definitely be buying the next one even if it is isn't flagship material.
Is the rezound pretty much dead? I've tried everything possible and I just cant get a smooth, fast feeling. Any ROM suggestions?
I'm going to wait and see what this "Eris" I've heard so much about does with the Rezound before deciding whether to stay aboard or jump ship. If he does something great and the source happens to come out soon enough, I'm definitely staying. If something happens and the source doesn't come out or his progress hits a huge snag where he quits, I'm probably going to pack my bags and look into going back to Sprint.
Their service really does suck in my area, but at least their price was a lot better. If I do jump ship and get an Evo 4G LTE, I would be interested in it if only to run FreshROM again, just like on my OG Evo. Plus, I sort of miss the small things about the Evo family, like CWM, FreshROM, etc. I know Sprint is finally switching to LTE, and if I had to go back, I would be willing to tough it out with bad signal just a while longer, since it looks like Sprint is actually serious about LTE over WiMAX this time.

Do you think the nex is better than the rezound? Yeah its awesome that theyre getting jellybean really soon, but i really like sense and there hardware is pretty much the same
i think any high end android phone is better than the iphone, right?
I've really been considering moving to the nexus since I'm not eligible for my upgrade yet and I can get a used one pretty cheap but I'm still undecided.
The rezound was my first HTC phone and I really love how well built it is compared to Samsung phones but I've had so many problems with it. Plus, with Verizon taking so long to push out updates and practically killing development, it makes the nexus slightly more enticing.
What do you guys think? Should I stick it out with this phone a little bit longer and just hope that the development gets a little better again soon or is it best to just move on now?
Can we at least wait until the end of the month before everyone flips their stuff? We're supposed to get ICS officially this month, and shortly after that HTC should release the ICS kernel source on the HTCDev website. All we need is our fantastic developers to get the RIL working and we'll hopefully be swimming in CM#/AOKP by the end of the year.

Well, it started with the many replacements of the tbolt, then HTC's hard stance against updating their tablets kinda pushed me over the edge, then they updated the flyer/view to broken software and they wont even fix it. Now the Rezound is having touchscreen issues. So I'm just tired of dealing with the problems and the lack of OEM support after purchase. I appreciate the Dev community for the zound, but sammy seems to be stronger in that dept. So I think I am going to give them a shot. I won't touch Moto with a ten foot pole. It may be a bad move, but I'm willing to take that risk after all the issues I have had recently with HTC. So for me, from here on out, it's going to be Nexus, or Samsung.
Samsung is worse.
I love my Rez and I still think of it as probably one of the, if not the most undervalued android phone released to date, but I don't see myself going for yet another carrier exclusive device after this. Of course, reviews might be so great for the DNA that I could change my mind but so far I am not that impressed.
Having said that however, the lack of a LTE capable Nexus 4 kinda limits the options for those looking to upgrade atm and I really cant see myself with a Galaxy S device. Wish Sony would be given a chance at penetrating the US market, they seem to strike a fair balance between corporate dev support, hardware and software quality.
I'll be getting this. The hardware and build quality will be top notch, it can be unlocked through HTCs dev website and be able to load cm. It was between this and the note but son, I am dissapoint at it having the older gen exynos and 720p screen on a 5.5 inch screen.
no, my next phone will be honor 2 or note 2
battery is important factor to me now

Its looking like ill most likely be getting it. I'm thinking ill be getting the DNA and one other new gen phone probably a GSM phone since I have two contracts, one with ATT and one with Verizon.
But I will be more careful than usual with this purchase. I'm currently so broke I can't afford the down payment on a grilled cheese sandwich. But this phone is a priority, and I owe it to the BAMF community. So I've been saving my pennies and will be selling some stuff to raise some funds.

samsungs radios and signal are 10x worse.
in my house, my gs3 gets about 6kbps download on 3g.
my rezound, when its not pulling 4g in my house (which the nexus and GS3 CAN'T), pulls atleast half a meg to a meg per second. doing anything on the gs3 on 3g is terrible, and ridiculously slow. fb app won't even load. rezound loads it no problem. hell, i even tethered 3 tablets to my rezound last night and while we were all browsing at the same time, ti was STILl faster than my gs3
i don't think i'd buy antoher samsung phone ever again, and i really want the DNA...dunno if i wanna fork out 600 bones for it tohugh
First of all i would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the developers that have put their time and energy into the DNA.
Secondly i just wanted to inquire if there would be any possibility of the DNA getting Key Lime Pie (when it releases of course) with the assistance of the talented developer repertoire?
There's a possibility i'll win the lottery tomorrow.
So I would say yes, there is a possibility.
With HTC's track record and this being a Verizon only device, I would bet on no. Not to mention that they have already shifted their focus to the M7 which seems to be headed for a multi-carrier release. I'm sure they will go (almost) all-in with the M7 since it might make or break them in a lot of ways.
Just my opnion, but like was said above, anything is a possibility.

I'm not so sure VZW will be getting the M7 though.
and to the OP, we most likely won't see KLP officially on our phone, but considering the M7 is mostly the same hardware as the DNA, It SHOULD be easily ported. I had a rezound that had ICS and Sense 4 long before ICS was officially supported on the phone and that phone NEVER officially got Sense4.
not to mention someone already has Sense 5 on their DNA (sense 5 being released with the M7)
Has Key Lime Pie actually been talked about anywhere besides rumors though?? just curious.

The only reason I would've been upset would be if the M7 had the newer series of Qualcomm's processors, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyway, congrats on the DNA!

If you have any questions about stuff you're wondering about with the switch to the DNA feel free to send me a PM. I realize you probably know your way around quite well but just in case, I figured I would offer.
One thing that I help people with the most, is actually contacts. If you don't already have all your contacts in a gmail account, go ahead and import them to gmail from wherever they are.
Welcome to the DNA, you won't regret the swap. Even though my girlfriend knows her way around roms and rooting, kernels, and decompiling apk's, her daily driver is an iPhone. I was worried about switching her to the Bolt or Rezound as her daily driver because I didn't want to leave a bad first impression. The DNA is the opposite, as soon as info on the M7 is released she will be switched to the DNA or M7 if its available in a CDMA version, because the build quality and performance are to the highest standards.

Hey fellow XDAers! I'm a Galaxy Nexus guy myself. my sister is on AT&T and asked me to recommend a phone. i am trying to keep the price down to the $100 mark. i saw this phone for $100 on contract. i loved my OG EVO and spec'ing this phone against the SGS3 it looks like a win for HTC, plus, the HTC model is newer and Sense IMO is better than TW. i've been out of the loop with HTC progress for a while and just wondered if you were generally pleased with your phone and would recommend it to a family member. this phone will likely never be rooted so the prospect of future (Official OTA) support is pretty important, i know you'd be guessing on that factor...

I'm sure it's by far the best $100 device available on AT&T right now. I paid $200 and think it's a great device.

I never reccomend anything to anyone because that somehow activates some unspoken agreement that you are now their official IT guy if they have any future questions.
Otherwise, I love what I've made my One X+ capable of, however, out of the box, the only thing I would warn a perspective buyer about is the somewhat dreadful battery life.
Tegra 3 is a hog is you don't underclock\ undervolt\ bring cores offline.

I would go with the S3. Besides nice hardware there's nothing spectacular about the X+. Sense is worse than TW actually, and on the X+ you're stuck with it.
