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

[Phil Nickinson]

How well does it run? Snappy? Compared to gs3, one X, nexus 4?

Sent from my ADR6425LVW

In initial use, it's very fast. Need to mess around with 1080p video some more.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

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

I think so. Asked about it yesterday and they didn't actually know at the time. Still trying to find out.

Rear notification light.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

How is the notification light? Is it multi-colored? Does it suck (comparatively) like other HTC devices?

Thanks!

It's bright. It flashes. It's a notification light.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

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

Usual Verizon stuff. A couple of extras -- some AMEX app (for ISIS?), IMDB, Audible, a game to show off the graphics,Viewdini, Zappos.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Dock pins on the back?

Nope.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Is additional Dropbox storage included?

Nope.

1. How's the GPS signal? My S3 sucks.

2. If I can get $450 for my S3, would you recommend buying the DNA?

No complaints here.

If you wanna get rid of your S3, sure. It's a perfectly fine phone.

How is the sound quality of the rear speaker?

 

[Phil Nickinson]

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?

Ask Verizon.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

The extra hole on the back is a notification light.

Ah ha!

 

[Frankenbarry265]

No MicroSD card expansion slot??? No thanks!

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Phil, what version of Sense is it running?

Sent from the cockpit of Gurren Lagann

Sense 4+

 

[Phil Nickinson]

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

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Android Central Forums

They're different phones with different features.

What's the deal with the Amazon app store situation? Am I correct in assuming the Play Store is on it as well? Can apps be disabled like should be able to?

 

[Phil Nickinson]

it could have been if the IDIOTS at HTC put a 3300mah battery like maxx. boom, done stamp!!

See, you (and others) keep saying that as if it'd have no impact on the design of the phone.

And to call any manufacturer an idiot says more about you than it does them. Let's grow up, m'kay?

Hunh? This is all standard stuff. Yes it has Google Play. Yes, you can load the Amazon app store. Yes, you can disable apps.

Very good.

Sweet, some sites were reporting that the Amazon suite of apps was coming preloaded on this phone. and i forgot where i read that recent verizon phones weren't allowing the disable function. Thanks.

Phil,

Have you played with the front-facer at all? I still see myself turning the phone around to pop pics of my wife and I on vacay on occasion, but I'd certainly like to use the screen for reference.
