I have a DROID DNA. You have questions. Fire away!

even if battery life werent poor,which i am pretty sure it will be,11gb of usable storage make this device as great as all the rest seems to be,absolutely useless,shame on you,stupid HTC.
People want bigger batteries and sd card slot or at least 32gb,is it that hard to get?

Is it true there is no SD card slot?

I can confirm there is no SD card slot.

So, what is the 'extra' little hole on the back? A sound cancellation thingy"

The extra hole on the back is a notification light.

...People want bigger batteries...

I'd rather have a more efficient battery than a bigger battery. I guess I'm not a person then.

I think the battery life will be good. Its not promoting all day battery llife. My nexus gets 4hrs. But I'm sure the processors have gotten better. I think they have learned from the thunderbolt. I see this being a one x+ but better. So I'd guess the battery would be on par with that.(my opinion )

Can you talk and surf on 3G , SVDO? The Verizon site is advertising "simultaneous talk and data" which is unusual ...

 

[bellken]

Is it just me or is the bloatware extra bloaty this time around?

potential to be extra bloaty, especially, if you update Reign of Amira. Surprising, the number of Verizon apps isn't that large.

Was there any mention of a white version coming?

I've got one on me, so I'll field the battery question from my perspective.

I've had it off the charge, after a full charge, for 7.5 hours now. I'm at 75%. Today was a busier than normal day at work, so other than setting up some accounts, texting, and a couple of short phone calls it hasn't had a lot of use. I'd call this light use for me. So do with that info what you want.

You know what might be a great test to see? Full charge -> stream Pandora for 1 hour over 3g/LTE = publish battery drain. This might help us understand what talk time/data usage time we may see in the real world. Also, a screenshot of the battery stats?

I pre-ordered mine, but I am scared. Figure I have a week to back out and get the SGS3 I was going to buy yesterday.
Thx

ok,i wasnt clear enough,maybe not bigger batteries but better battery life and since batteries wont get more efficient in the near future,so theres no other way to increase the capacity to get longer battery life

I got my DROID DNA from HTC elevate 4 days ago. So far I am getting 30+ hours battery life and I haven't been able to put phone down.

No Dropbox promotion unfortunately and I would have like to see more on board storage but all in all htc hit a home run with this phone imo

 

[Citizen Coyote]

If these early battery usage reports are accurate, it's obvious that HTC has put in place some pretty aggressive power management (which gives me hope for overall batter life). I'd love to see how the phone fares under a "torture test" though, such as streaming music or video over a cell network for a couple hours.

People are so quick to discount the battery life of the DNA. These people show their tech-unsaviness by ignoring advancements in technology. To all of them, I LOL @ you. Cheers.

No kidding. I am much more concerned about the 11GB of usable storage.

Have you had a chance to figure out if the battery is good yet?

Battery is awesome imo. This is close to being the perfect phone (if such a thing existed)

Phil, Would you recommend this over nexus 4 just based off the hardware?
