i have a DNA and sense is far from bloated,drop test are a complete,joke,cannot say anything about gimmicks,each and every phone has it's strengths and weaknesses,and certain things you will not like about a phone.like HTC,Motorola and LG Samsung is far from perfect.I've never gotten the bloated feeling about touchwiz that I got from sense.
Again, if that's your preference than more power to you but don't be ignorant of the information available or there.
Of course it can, unlike htc Samsung doesn't shove their "gimmicks" down your throat. That's why it's a ridiculous that people argue not getting the phone because of gimmicks
Yeah, I left the post as is for everyone's enjoyment... My auto correct seems to have a dirty mind as of late
