I have not been able to find any answers on this and Google was not able to find me the answer I was looking for.
Was wondering if any fellow XDA'ers have heard anything.
Winners of what contest?
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
I signed up for it too. I call bull**** on this contest. I bet they were hoarding emails for spam.

I think the last thing on Sprint's mind right now is the contest, they have big issues right now. Having your flagship Android phone blocked by customs is a scary thing, they're losing pre-orders everyday the phone is held up.
I think apple won the who is the biggest d bag in the tech industry contest yesterday

What contest??? Evo LTE contest?
He's talking about the galaxy nexus "Datastorm" contest from about 2 months ago I presume. My understanding was they don't typically release names, but you can (snail) mail to request the list of winners.
I think that most of these contests are bunk, I entered one around superbowl time for one of the new thin super laptops from asus.
As soon as the super bowl was over the ads all but disappeared, they said they'd announce the winners on facebook, I checked for two weeks from the time they said they'd announce it but it never happened.
Could it be some sort of marketing tactic? To just say your giving something away but put it in the fine print that it's all bogus, come to think of it I have never actually read ALL of the fine print.
I will be leaving the photon community since I am getting the Iphone 5 on friday. (please dont post if your going to be an android fanboy)
I am only switching because I'm getting it for 40 bucks!
this is how:
1. I bought my phone before sep 9 2011 so the termination fee is less (110)
2.The Iphone is 200
3. thats 310
4. I have buyback at best buy so they're giving me 210 for my phone
5. thats 100
6. you get a 10 dollar ift card if you preorder
7. 90
8. 2 25 dollar gift cards
9. 40 dollars!
Bye

If you had a termination fee that means you left sprint, therefore you'll have a higher monthly bill no matter where you go. Also, you'll have a metered internet cap with your spanky new 4G LTE phone, and therefore you've also opened yourself up to an overage bill on the internet if you are a moderate to heavy user.
Enjoy your new phone.

Hello,
Thanks to being able to bill to my account, I ordered a 64gb iPhone 5 today. I am honestly not sure if I am going to end up keeping it as I have been using Androids since 2.1 (Eclair) and I really like the platform. However, I am frustrated that Sprint frakked the Photon 4G replacement and I am not fond of Samsung (too plasticky) and to a lesser extent HTC.
I was honestly praying that Sprint would get some sort of version of the RAZR. The Intel Atom powered RAZR looks amazing, but has only been announced for Europe and I think Asia.
Being with Sprint since 1999, I really am conflicted about the iPhone in general. Thanks to Sprint having to pony up Billions of Dollars just to offer the bloody thing. they have done away with the Premier Gold Program replete with 12 Month Upgrades, the ability to bill equipment to your account at any corporate owned Sprint Store, and far less understanding Account Services actions.
That being said., it will be nice to have tons of options for Accessories where with the Photon there are hardly any. Still, I am hoping a flagship Android Phone is announced by Sprint in the next month.
Cheers,
JJ
It was.
It was confirmed that any carrier that had the GS3 was getting the noteII
Have fun with your CrapS6
Ill be rolling on my lovely note <3

My wife just got the iphone 5 and it's pretty impressive. I don't understand why people here sound so indignant that a photon user would be jumping ship. There is a market for the iphone obviously. I find it a foolish exercise to try and compare phones and platforms. At the end of the day they do the same most of functions. At the end of the day
Choice of device is a personal one. If on the day I told myself I now longer care to think about my tech I might move to a different platform as well. People have reasons for moving to ios, and are better for it in many cases.

Is there no one saddened by the news of an Iphone convert simply because he was able to pay about what the phone is actually worth, $40?
Wouldn't you jump ship if you could get a Cryphone at a cheap price?
I'm sure there's plenty of people in 3rd world countries that would love to have this phone rather than something like food or shelter. How else
are they going to shoo the flys away?
Did he leave yet? Do we care?

On the Verizon Wireless website, the DNA has a ship by date of 3/29. Are there supply issues that anyone is aware of?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
When I called Verizon they said they're currently out of stock
More than likely cleared their shelves for the DNA+ that's just my assumption.

Did a stock check and few stores have one or two in my area but even the warehouse is empty. We haven't got a shipment in weeks.
My guess is in preparation for the HTC One but nothing in the system says that the DNA is discontinued yet.

Could be a number of issues, all we can is speculate. I think it's foolish to imply they would try to kill off the Droid DNA so early in its life. Look at how long they sell their other phones! You can pick up some pretty "ancient" Gingerbread phones for a bargain now. Plus, they're still pushing their DNA ad campaign pretty hard, why would they abandon a phone so quickly? Every VZ salesperson I've spoken to has said they the Droid DNA is moving off shelves at a pretty good rate.
I just ordered a DNA yesterday from Verizon, and while the ship date said 3/29, it shipped a few hours later. (in transit now)

I am willing to help, though I've never dealt with the low level side of unlocking (I do everything else software). But if my device comes updated, I'll certainly have motivation to assist where I can.

I don't have an upgrade avaliable and I really don't want to blow several hundred dollars so I'm going to stay with my dna until my upgrade. That's what I have always done.
So if they retire it, does that mean we aren't going to receive any more ota updates.

I've been looking at the DNA for my next phone, but I'm going to watch these developments carefully. Having owned a Bionic, I'm wary of buying another model which may be replaced after a very short run.

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!!!!!

I stepped to an S4, and though it's 5" it doesn't compare to the note so I completely agree.

Yep I agree, but I like nerding it up here also, except I don't have as much time as I used to. I'm definitely waiting for the note 3, my note will be 20 months around the speculated time of release so I'll be signing on another 2 year plan with AT&T . I just hope they don't go overboard with the note 3 size.

I hope to buy a note 3 in September if they are out but still tempted by the note 2 as well.
