Droid DNA is there right. similar phone.

the Droid DNA is a crippled POS in comparison to the One... 16GB memory, in reality limited to 11GB... no SD card slot to compensate... No Sense 5, no dual speakers, no Ultrapixel camera... only 2020 mAh battery (vs 2300 on the One).... VZW f'ed up... Hopefully they bring the One later as a true developer phone, which they were supposed to do for some other phones, which they never did... But that's a pipe dream.

I wouldnt call the DNA that....lol, but just for the dual speakers alone.....I would pick the One over the DNA if I had a choice. Unlimited data and service keeps me with Verizon. I need to check my data usage. If its a certain amount over the past 6 months.....I might be a lil closer to leaving Verizon for AT&T. Or at least giving AT&T a test drive.

Branding on phones is irrelevant to me. I normally put a skin or case on my phone anyways which normally covers the obtrusive brand. I buy a phone to use it, for its functionality, not to stare at it and be offended by a company making their mark on a device that is on their network. The DNA was a big Verizon/HTC collaboration therefore the branding is deserved. As for the note two, they sale home button covers (SPIGEN SGP Galaxy Note 2 Premium Aluminum Home Button Sticker [Black, Silver, Pink] [3-PACK] for Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, International - Galaxy Note II / N7100:Amazon:Cell Phones & Accessories) if it offends you that much.

This! about time somebody said something =)

I gotta say I have been loving my Rezound but its upgrade time soon and the wife really wants my Rezound in place of her Incredible.. Like everyone else here I am having the same dilemna. I like the DNA but storage is lacking and the new One specs are just awesome. I don't understand why they have to be so proprietary with their devices (especially HTC). And because the One is going to 3 top carriers the likelihood that accessories will be mass produced by various companies is huge (i.e. iPhone), hence Verizon could make even more money by selling accessories as there would be more for the choosing for such a widespread device.


That said, I love Verizons service and I have been with them since they took over Alltel here in NC. I have only had HTC phones with Verizon and I would like to continue that tradition but things are looking bleak in the HTC world around here..

I don't know what the fuss is about on the DNA. I just got it and I love it! I went from a Rezound with 16gb internal 64 micro SD to the DNA and I am doing fine. Though I am still on unlimited, I moved all my music to Google Play with about 2.06GB of music locally just in case I am not around any wifi, 5GB of Pictures and Videos of which 2.3GB are movies I have loaded for travel purposes. The pictures are sync'd via DropBox. With apps and all I have 2GB of free space. To me that is fine. Granted I used to just install app after app just to have but, realized I was not using them. All the extra space I had on my Rezound I was not using. Unfortunately I took the OTA and will have to wait to root until there is a exploit to remove Verizon bloatware. Again I love the phone over the current crop of Verizon devices, and as for everyone to each there own.

 

[ugxvibe]

Google Play and Dropbox require data usage when not on WiFi. Not everyone has unlimited data, luckily I do, for now that is.. Much cheaper for us to have the extra storage space to eliminate the hassle of data overage charges.. unless that is their overall evil plan. I love the DNA from what I've seen and read, I just want the latest and greatest HTC has to offer. The One is that offer for some. (

You don't seem to mind carrier branding in your signature, either. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ha. Uhm. Obviously you've never used a DNA. Obviously you have no idea that the DNA is likely what the One would have ended up as if HTC wasn't so desperate to include different features.

Nope, I don't. Verizon supplies me with exceptional service on an exceptional device, I will gladly advertise.

Am I the only on here with US Cellular? Man I want this phone but my carrier won't carry it.

Well, I just heard the latest rumor out there. It may mean absolutely nothing, but the word is that Verizon will be putting their own version of this phone out in April or May. It supposedly will add some red accents (I've heard that from HTC earlier), and also add an SD slot. Of course, there would be the additional bloatware, but at least I'm starting to hear some rumors, which mean nothing, but give some hope!
Phil, if you know more, would you let us know? You know something...and it's not polite not to share (unless you're protecting a source).

Fingers are crossed here or I am off to Sprint and their Unlimited Data... I'd rather keep the superior Verizon service, if possible, though I'm really tired of their business ways in the past year or more..

You just made me tingle in that special place. I hope it's true.

Just out of curiosity, where did you hear that rumor? I have been with Sprint for 13 years and I am about ready to leave for better service from Verizon. With promises of LTE up and running in my area by this past holiday and not having any service at all during Sandy and days after, I have about had enough. The HTC ONE is the phone I really want to get, but if Verizon is not getting it, I might hold out a little longer. I am going to have to buy out of my contract which isn't up until Feb of 2014. Either way, if they are in fact getting it in April or May, I will just wait until then so I can get it with Verizon. I would much rather have the best phone out on the best network if possible. I have someone that is willing to buy my EVO LTE and all the cases and accessories that I have for 275, and that will help soften the blow of buying out the rest of my contract. If Sprint somehow gets LTE up and running in my area before then, and the speeds are good and reliable, then maybe I will change my mind altogether, but I really doubt that will happen.

 

[NastyNeil]

Just make sure you actually have Sprint LTE in your area, because right now it is lackluster 3G at best.

Verizon screwed up. Why would they not get a phone that every other carrier is getting?! Just doesn't make sense. The HTC One is a flagship and you can't pass up on these types of devices.

If they come out with their own version of it, I will not be buying. Verizon always ends up screwing up what is perfectly fine from the manufacturer.

 

[NoYankees44]

Well here's a big question if Verizon gets a version... What about the bootloader? If Verizon can get Sammy to lock the s3, then I dare say anything is fair game. I know these things are usually circumvented, but it's always better to not have to deal with it. Especially with the general number of big name htc devs fluctuating lately.

Id have to disagree like I said in my previous post its not close to the one...sorry...its a nice phone..not knocking it at all ...but the one is leaps and bounds improved..from the DNA...the dna is the one X ...this new one..is htc finally revamping sense completely!!!!...yea they coppied wp..and Samsungs video gallery ...and made it into a actual feature. ..but I dont care...they finally did something.since my dinc to make me say... wow!...the DNA comparison is only going to be made by DNA owners who dont want their phone overlooked....bottom line is if you had both sitting in front of you ...you would pick up "the one" and not look back....so lets kill this comparison please

They are not that different. The processor is a higher clocked version than the one in the DNA, the screen is a bit higher res because its smaller, and sense is different in some ways but very much the same in most others. Saying that the DNA is to the one what the one x is to the one is just not true.

I would honestly have to say I would have still chose the dna. I went Verizon FOR the dna. It is honestly the sexiest phone on the market in my opinion, that's why I bought it. But you are correct in saying the one is not like the dna. But I would have to disagree with " leaps and bounds." It has small improvements, like a slightly faster processor, a slighty more dense pixel arrangement, dual front facing speakers, and a new sense, but the new blink feed is a turn off for me. If it were just a widget, maybe. I could care less about the new camera technology, because its likely to be a let down anyways. The all aluminum casing could interfere with signal, and I don't like that it has a smaller screen than my DNA. With the dna they cut down the bezels so the phone is nearly the size of a normal smart phone, but with a larger screen accounting for the size. The HTC has a smaller screen but larger bezels to accustom the dual front speakers. The HTC one is a nice phone, but not what I was hoping it would be. Not good enough for me to toss my DNA to the side, even if I were given the choice. The "improvements" just werent what I was looking for to be improved. Maybe if Verizon makes a version and adds red accents/ makes the phone a little sexier, I would be interested.
