Goodbye DNA Hello One

[JHBThree]

Oddly one thing I have noticed even w/ only HSPA compared to VZW LTE around here. Streaming music has been smoother. I have about the same signal strength too, even in the cornfields. AT&T used to pretty much suck here. Download speeds are decently close, though VZW LTE wins on uploads.



Hence, all the offers to buy mine.





The One indeed is quite fluid experience, DNA is no slouch either. It begs the question, is it the step-up in hardware or Sense 5? The only issue going from one to the other is the buttons, and not having to swipe up/down as far. I really do think the DNA w/ Sense 5 will offer an extremely close experience minus some extra features. I'm not leaving Verizon, I have a Razr Maxx HD for back-up.



I'm not that smart.

BTW, I can confirm the DNA as being sold.:-$

Yeah upload speeds are the one area where Lte is better. Mine still are pretty good though, as I generally am around 3-5 on the upload side.

A lot of the smoothness difference is due to sense itself, but the processor helps too. The DNA should still be an awesome experience with sense 5 though.

But is it worth leaving Verizon for a phone?

No, but it's worth is to save a ton of money every month, have just as good coverage (I travel a lot for business too), and have access to more devices. YMMV of course.

It always seems like what ever carrier I'm not on gets the best phones. :'(

I'm on a share plan and only have to pay $55 a month. If I had to pay the full boat, I'd probably be on prepaid.

I just held the HTC One at best buy and I have to say it feels real nice. The metal body feels really good in the hand and cool. Sense 5 runs really smooth but not really an issue with the DNA.
If Verizon picks it up in Silver and offers a 32 or 64GB then I may switch.
