Another stupid move by Nokia. Not releasing it on Verizon toa wider audience wont help Nokia gain any kind of marketshare here in the US. I realize it is also Verizon's fault but my guess is Nokia may have been asking for unrealistic terms. Either way glad it has finally been announced on ATT and cant wait to get my hands on one.
Crap!
I really had wanted this phone.
Will be getting this bad boy as soon as it releases
Any words on Verizon?
I hope verizon

I really think this is payback and does more good than harm. All of us put together couldn't do much (read our efforts on BBB complaints) but thanks to M$, we may very well get some well needed payback... However, I am disappointed that the ban doesn't effect newer devices. It seems to be effecting only 3G devices... Is this something related to the radio technology?
I don't effing care if Motorola can never sell a single device from now on, since that is what I exactly want. What do they say, oh yeah: Payback's a *****! Hellya!

I was thinking this too, but it's probably because they just did not care about us enough. The X2 was a good phone when it was launched, but it definitely did not receive the hype a phone like the Nexus or Galaxy S III got.
Cool, now if VZ would update my line with an upgrade so I can get rid of this piece once and for all! ..rather than next year :/

(Sorry to be off topic)
This is such a non-issue. All Motorola had to do was import enough inventory before the ban took place to cover the future demand.
Slap in the face to Moto, that Google (parent company of Moto) went to Asus to make the first Nexus tablet.............. just saying
My Droid X ear piece speaker crapped out yesterday so I called to get a replacement and they told me there are no more X's in stock which the VZ rep even said he finds that hard to believe. So instead they are sending me a Droid X2. Don't if them suddenly not having any X's in stock has anything to do with the ban since the X was also listed.
As the title says, I'm going to start a new contract and get my wife a Verizon phone also, does anyone know of good phones coming out around February or March?

If you're willing to wait just wait. HTC phones of late = far form the quality they're known for producing. SGS4 should be good and well worth the extra 3-4 month wait if you only plan on upgrading every 20 months.
I would wait and see what the next batch of phones will be. Im sure that it will be worth the wait. Imo

Sense 5 will be available on older models. HTC has confirmed the information via his Facebook page. For the moment no "roadmap" official has been issued, only a small non-exhaustive list is available.
"HTC will be offering upgrades to some of its existing devices in the coming months, including variants of HTC One X One X +, One S & HTC Butterfly. However, note that certain features of the new HTC One will not be available in software updates for hardware compatibility reasons ".
The Droid DNA isn't on this list of 4 smartphones, but if the Butterfly will get the update, so it wouldn't be for technical reasons if the Droid DNA wouldn't get it...Normally it will also...

Precisely why I look at the possible dev community rather than what I think the carrier will offer down the road when I purchase a phone. I bought the DNA in full confidence that there would be many great devs supporting it, and I was right. Really enjoying my phone so far.
As for my friend, he bought an LG Spectrum even though he knew I was pretty knowledgeable and could have given him better suggestions. Now he's begging me to root it for him... but for what, there's no development for it at all lol.
I personally bought the DNA over butterfly because of the bigger dev community. Ill never understand why be at xda and wait on carriers.

you might want to go check over on android forums. There is plenty of development. In fact, AOKP and CM 10.1 both are nearing official support thanks to the devs over there. The Spec was a great phone while I had it.

I looked quite a few times and even by the time I bought my DNA, they still didn't have anything concrete. Just took a look too and this all looks like recent dev for it. Agreed though, the specs did look good, but LG messed it up pretty bad.
Either way, good to see that it's finally getting some attention and I can offer him some relief when we see each other in a few months - hopefully they have a stable CM10.1 by then

LG devices are notorious for their poor development. They're usually budget phones (with the Optimus line being an obvious exception).
HTC confirmed via their Facebook page to my question about ICS on the Thunderbolt that it was "coming soon" back in June of 2012. When did it arrive? December? Better late than never I suppose but I wouldn't hold your breath...

I live in a very small town called Los Angeles and every carrier besides VZW blows here (I've tried every carrier). I travel a lot for my job and with the exception of some rural areas (and San Diego) in the US I always find verizon's coverage to be remarkable.
I'm stuck with big red for now as I travel a lot and being in sales, I live on my phone. Switched from AT&T which wasn't anywhere near as reliable. Keep hoping that verizon gets there act together and releases premier android phones like other carriers. Hoping that the One is coming...

I don't understand the appeal of this phone if you already have a DNA. It would be a very minimal upgrade and a slight downgrade in at leastone aaspect (screen). The only thing I am seeing that's better is a slight bump on the CPU clock speed and a better camera. Don't get me wrong. It looks like a super slick phone, just nothing worth purchasing coming from a DNA IMO

Screen downgrade is only opinion really. I think it's a upgrade. Still 1080 and easier to handle... Don't forget ir to control tv. Fm radio. 40% faster cpu. Camera. Better call quality and recordings... Every aspect of the phone was upgraded

Speakers also
Although every aspect was upgraded it's not enough to make me switch. I'm content with my dna on 100% stock. I don't think verizon is just going to dump this phone and stop updating it, but if that's the case then I will just use xda to modify my phone.

It's not just a bump in clock speed, also a bump in the processor itself. The HTC one will perform better than an overclocked DNA.

I loved my galaxy nexus when I had it... a year and a half ago. I'm on to the Nexus 4 now, which won't last much longer till the next Nexus.
It's an outdated phone, but still an "upgrade" if you will say, from what you have. If you are thinking of getting one, buy it used on eBay or Swappa to avoid contract issues with Verizon. I was stuck paying early termination fees last year when I left Verizon for T-Mobile.
