I don't personally care about removable batteries but I would have loved a 2500-3000mah battery in this.

The only thing I'm curious about is the lack of as card slot. Didn't the butterfly j have one? I know they are saying this isn't the same phone but everything else looks like it. Is it the same thickness?

Engadget posted their full review with good details. They rarely praise android phone but seem to like DNA.

HTC Droid DNA review -- Engadget

Wow, pretty high praise. THeir Bottom Line:

"With its display, reasonable price and top-of-the-line components, the Droid DNA is our top choice on Verizon's lineup this holiday season."

That line-up includes the iPhone 5, RAZR MAXX HD, SIII and Note 2. Did engadget just say this is the best phone period?

I think they did, I am wow'd
 
I added a few more reviews. The Slashgear one in particular, is a very well balanced review, and is my favorite of the bunch.
 
Will get the DL added, thanks. I agree, the camera and radios were both surprising, most other reviews had no issues with either one of those. Considering my office is the definition of a poor 4G signal it makes me a little nervous, I was hoping my signal would improve dramatically.
 
Has anybody noticed that in most reviews conveniently leave out the fact that the DNA has only 16 gigs of storage, and no expandable memory? That is only about 11 or 10 gigs of memory that you're actually rocking with

To them it probably isn't a big deal, so I understand. But I would think they would bring it up, because to a lot of others it is a big deal.
 
I'm using less than a gig of storage on my DInc 1, so for me, non expandable storage isn't even an issue. Having a replaceable battery would be nice though in case I want to keep the phone for more than two years. My 2.5 year old DInc isn't holding its charge like it used.
 
Wow, that was brutal review. Makes me a little less confident about getting it now but I'll have 14 days to change my mind.
 
Well the good thing about the stuttery screen, animations etc. You will see that right away in the store playing with the demo unit if it is systemic...
 
OH man this just made my trip to Verizon tomorrow that much harder...

I planned to walk out with the DNA...now I don't know. The past few days have some pretty harsh reviews coming out.

I wouldn't trust the demo units either. They load those demo videos and have a million different things running on them... when i went in a few weeks ago to pre order the note, both the gs3 and razr hd demo units i played with while i was waiting were laggy as hell
