My DNA digitalized

So last year November I was finally able to get rid of my Droid 2 Global nightmare they call a phone. And since the new Nexus could not work on Verizon being HSPA+ only, I had to choose something else. Luckily HTC just came out with its DNA phone (Buttefly J in Japan). 4 cores at 1.5GHz HUGE amazing display. Sounded like a deal. $199 with upgrade (plus another 60$ hidden fee and taxes) from Verizon directly, but at Wirefly only $159 (same phone, w/ upgrade) no additional costs!

Pre-order placed. Read news about how this phone has a high demand and out of stock everywhere for 2 weeks, and than be happy when it arrived. Wirefly was really generous, overnight shipping is extra, but because I had to wait, they threw it in for free.

The phone? Awesome!!!

The summary

Things about the Droid 2 I hated:

• If it was updating an app, it was hard to even write a test message
• Even scrolling the screens left and right was not smooth
• You needed to buy the extended battery to go through the day
• If an application was bogus it could (and would) bring the whole system down resulting in a restart. It's fun when you're using it as a navigation system and it happens on the freeway.
• Copying files over wifi to my PC didn't really worked. Communication was open disrupted and the uploaded file was invalid. Same applies to download
• You can only hook it up via USB a couple of times. After that it just didn't work anymore except as USB mass storage. The only way to put music on it was with winamp, that could sync even in USB mass storage mode.
• Because of a bogus application it froze up after/during talk

Problems with the DNA:

• None!!

The only small thing is that the notifications from the roll down menu cannot be deleted individually. You delete all or none. Streaming video or any other content over wifi from my file server is seamless. It's responding all the time. The sound is awesome! And the screen is even more awesome.

I became an HTC fan!!

If you're with Verizon, and you're looking for the best phone they have, go with the DNA!
