Worth a shot right?
Edit: if it's too hard to read it basically shows me asking for help, on the lg developer forum, for unlocking bootloader and them saying no help it is unsupported.(for now)

Moto X and Moto G are both going to be supported for years because Motorola is owned by Google now. Therefore, Motorola phones are practically Nexus phones. Even though they don't get updates first, they get them soon after!
Well i just found out CyanogenMod Team coming out with a phone... I want that instead since all i'm gonna do is put a custom rom on a phone anyways..

I'm definitely getting the moto g when it comes to the US in January, can't believe it's only $179. Could probably sell this phone for $100 too, $79 for an unlocked 720p phone with KitKat sounds great.

Not sure if I can agree. The new camera is way better, the look is nice too and you can buy a version with 32 gb.

considering that the screen is no where as nice and that its lower storage with base model, no, but mainly because it will not work on verizion lol. I love my DNA and its basically the same phone spec wise aside from battery, camera, and screen. This is my opinion of course.

Not a chance. The one thing I don't like about Nexus devices (and I may be the only one) is that all the roms are AOSP. There's really no variety. Back when I had my Gnex I was incredibly bored since all the roms looked and acted the same. I know it's getting better and that a lot of new features are popping up (especially in PA), but I like having the option to run Sense or AOSP. And I have a huge soft spot for Sense, that's something that you'll never see on a Nexus device.

It all depends on what you want. If I were on tmobile I would seriously think about it but since I am on Verizon its not an option. I love AOSP and thus would love a nexus device. The nexus4 also has aws support for non 1900 farmed areas.

Definitely. If "Guaranteed by x date" Means, you'll get it a year after you've moved onto your next phone (My thunderbolt getting ICS), then I would bet that "Strong possibility" means "We're too afraid to tell you we don't give a crap about DNA users anymore."
It's almost as if these HTC execs or whatever are taunting the owners. Lol. First it was 4.3 by the end of Sept. Then it was 4.2 and Sense 5 by the end of Sept. Then it was by the end of the year. Now there saying maybe 4.3, or even 4.4.
This is just rude.
They will probably have it submitted to Verizon by the end of the year and Verizon will test it for 2 more years.

It's not HTC's fault it's Verizon if it were up to them to push updates we would have 4.3 already. It's Verizon who controls it all and they don't do updates so people will go and buy the latest and greatest phone.

Weather we get 4.4 officially or not (doubt we ever will) I'm sure there are developers who are going to be making 4.4 based roms. That's why most of us are on xda to get the best out of our phones. Either way my dna isn't going anywhere for a long time.

Can't wait till Verizon releasess KitKat for the Droid.!!! Phone can deffinatley run it with zero issues with it on KitKat now.
Of course VZW is always a bit on the slow side of approving...
I think what vzw was/is doing is updating all their other newer devices first (to get people to upgrade) before they roll out the updates to us older phone
This is just what it seems to me now that they have worked on the other HTC devices we are hopefully next unless another device comes along

I have zero reason to doubt that. After all it makes sense revenue-wise. Yeah the DNA is an "older" model. But it can still hang quite well with the newer ones. :good:

I'm in no rush for Verizon to push us Kit Kat. Look at some of the amazing Devs the HTC Droid DNA has. @nitsuj17 @santod040 @Zarboz , we don't need Verizon with them in the DNA forums.!!! I mean newer system files and a newer kernel with help the stability of the roms we have now and future releases. But besides that we are fine.!!
And I just joined the DNA forums but I've been in the android central forums and helped with many rims there so I have some experience with roms. And as soon as my post count goes up I might start a little something, something.!! A girl dev in the DNA forums.

Who knows Verizon is usually the one that causes updates to take forever. So when ever they finally feel it's ready and want to push it out is when we will see it. They said some time in April but I doubt it.
