The htc one has been confirmed by Verizon for Aug 15th now (or week of). It's about time if you ask me but I'm happy it's coming. Mainly for what it means in development for our DNA now that that's a similar phone and it's cdma. Although ido wish i could u upgrade to this im content with my dna. What do you think of it? Anyone plan on switching?

After using my DNA, I don't think I could go back to a smaller screen. I may look into upgrading when Verizon Edge comes around, but right now I'm very content.

It's like T-Mobile Jump, all the major carriers are doing it. It lets you upgrade every six months by letting you make monthly payments on a device.
What happens to the phone that I have currently. Do I trade it in or just get a new one.

Where is your source for this confirmation? Everywhere I've read says that Aug. 1st is only a rumored date because of the road map leak which has been, for the most part, false so far. Do you have updated official news from Verizon I don't know about?

If you're asking about Edge, you keep it. What Verizon will do is they'll split the retail price of the phone into 12 payments, then you make a payment each month until it's paid off, then the phone is yours. No need to renew your contract or trade in your phone.
But enough about Edge, this isn't the place to discuss that

By the time you pay it off HTC will have released a new flagship phone and the One will be left 2 generations behind in the Android world.

No, you have to hand it in... It's not really a consumer friendly thing. Just makes it look like it. T-Mobile are the only ones doing it right. With Edge you pay installments for you device and still have to pay the Verizon plan pricing setup to be profitable when handing out subsidized phones.
But back to topic, our phones are not that inferior to the HTC One. Actually only the CPU is older. Barely. Other then the sexy aluminium body and smaller screen, the phones are very similar. Well I guess the One has an IR blaster too.
I really want a One. I love my DNA but the One is just so sexy.

Well, thanks for the info on edge and the one. I recently got the DNA, since I went into the pool with my gs3 in my pocket. I am loving the phone. I had one issue with the proximity sensor not working properly. I had to root and the use the resound proximity calibration app to fix that. Is that a know issue with DNA.

Probably not losing as much as you think. Plus if you buy all the accessories and S crap they'll be making bank $$. $200 for Rezound $130 for Nexus sounds legit loool.
I'm also skeptical about this, got email from samsung and decided to search on xda and here i am. For my rezound its 200, but they are also offering $135 for my Hero S. Is this legit?
$15 for my Fascinate. Wowza. $200 for the Rez wouldnt be bad if we could get the GSM Nexus from google, but it wouldn't do much good if still w/ Verizon.
Before you guys get all excited about this, you should go to the Verizon S III forums and read about the issues that phone has. Horrible signal reception, locked bootloader, as well as other issues.

Still doesn't solve the fact that Samsung has crap radios. I have my Droid Charge as a backup still and it is night and day in radios compared to HTC phones. Unless you go GSM, forget about it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
This is interesting...it appears Samsung is going for market penetration with the phone and trying to get as many people on the phone as they can, then allowing customers to sell to customers. Only downside I've heard is the signal quality, and even that I've only heard about on the forums. I can't tell you how many people I know have switched to the GS III. And every one of them is just giddy about their new GS III. This is people who previously couldn't care less about their phone, very non-technical. At least in my smallish circle, it's quickly becoming the iPhone of Android. Wonder if that's Samsung's plan...
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy with my Rezound with no intention of changing. Just making an observation.

If you plan on sticking with the phone I'd jump on the DNA through a 3rd party retailer. Look around and you will find most places have it for $50 but you have to sign a secondary contract stating you will stick with that device and the same number for 6-12 months.
It's a great phone.

I love my DNA and highly recommend Wirefly which is where I got mine. It was $50 dollars less than what Verizon was charging. I paid $149 when Verizon had it for $199, which it is still at this price. I wish I would of waited another couple of months because WF now has it for $99 to upgrade and if you are getting a new line, it is $50.
You need to keep the line activated for a minimum of 6 months or they charge you $400.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
So in the next 2 weeks? Call me skeptical... to say the least. Also if that's the case then I probably wont be getting the One because I'm 6 months out for an upgrade. Guess I'll get whatever's after the One.
I am leaning more toward that the one will replace the dna in wal mart stores due to space constraints, but vzw, amazon, etc will probably continue to sell it
That is disappointing but alright at the same time.
All it has over the DNA ( most likely ) is the camera and development crowd from being global.

I saw this coming a mile away and people hated on me like no tomorrow. The first minute we heard about the One, I said that the DNA would be dead to HTC and Verizon. They were just too similar and it was obvious the One improved on some of the cons of the DNA. It was almost like "oops, we made some mistakes on the DNA, so here is our real flagship now".
With that being said, I just got a DNA again last week and am enjoying it. But let me be straight....If the rumors are true and Verizon is getting the One or even their own variant of it, I will buy it on launch day without even thinking twice.
Must be nice to be able to afford multiple phone purchases within a month. It amazes me how people buy new phones every other month. I don't see how people don't lose tons of money on doing that...

I actually made $50 to get the DNA last week lol. I traded someone my Note 2 and he gave me $50 for me to take the DNA off his hands.
When and if the One becomes available or gets announced officially, I will sell my DNA for $400-450 and either get the One for a couple hundred more off contract or use another one of my upgrades.
I usually never come out of pocket more than $100-200 to get a brand new phone. You just gotta work it and don't let your devices get too outdated. I absolutely love getting and flipping devices for a new one withing 6 months to a year. It's fun and actually doesn't really cost much. Especially compared to other hobbies which can cost much more.

Oh my god. I'm just sitting here and hoping what is assumed will become true! (This stuff is always a hit or miss )
Pretty glad things came up and I didn't upgrade to the DNA 3 days ago, that would've hit the regrets pretty hard (not that I don't like the DNA; but I do have a preference for the One and there seems to be issue with rooting the DNA with the OTA. I was really wanting to install sense 5 on it)
I've been sitting on the verge of my upgrade, contract ending on the 22nd. Will probably pick up the 32GB variant, going to assume the phone will be good enough for me as is without root.

Dude, you don't even know lol. I'm not married (yet), but my girlfriend just laughs now and calls me crazy. I have literally been through about 5 devices in the past 6 months.
I went from my S3 to a HTC 8X Windows Phone (I had to try it lol) to a DNA to a Note 2 and back to a DNA. Not to mention shortly before that I had a Droid Razr Maxx.
I'm a phone whore and I happily admit it!
You guys are kind of jumping the gun. Walmart choosing not to carry both phones doesn't mean the DNA is EOL or that other resellers will follow in their footsteps. So VZW may kill the DNA in favor of the One but they haven't even officially announced their carrying the One yet. And a "Droid" branded device helps shore up a brand they've spent a ton of money building so there's room for both if they see fit.
Regardless.. Eol or not, I'm not bailing on the DNA, knowing that a newer better phone cycles out all the time... No real reason at the moment.. I'll wait to see what's up next
DROID DNA 5
Yea most definitely. However, if I could go back three weeks I would have waited for this. I had the PUK lock issue today for first time...all Verizon store did is reissue me new SIM again...maybe if the issue happens again (which it will) they will give me a One...

I expect an HTC one announcement shortly after 5/14 (30 days ?). Typical VZW. Will offload the phone on thousands of people and lock them into 2 year contracts before the new model comes along.

Offload the phone? For someone who bought the DNA 5 months ago it may not have been realistic to wait until late May for the next option.

Received mine on Monday w/ v2.04 but updated to v2.06 same day.
I recieved mine with 2.04 and have been putting off updating.
Waiting for moonshine.
Bought my DNA a week ago new on vzw online and it was 2.04 out of the box. I hope we get an soff option for this version soon...

No Verizon SUCKS for locking their phones. 99.5% of people could care less about being unlocked so they just don't like .5% of us. Not sure what you comment has to do with anything do you like locked phones? Just wondering cause it sounds kinda like it. Just saying...

LOL, I agree. First off I just got my DNA Wednesday (for free) and It shipped with 2.04 and I haven't received any update notification as to this moment. Second - I have avoided Big Red for the last 6 years and things like this make me wonder if this was a "good move" for me. However I will admit that the Droid DNA is one of the best android devices if not the best they offer this phone a bad-azz no doubt about it. I like HTC and I think they would or could care less if you boot, root or pollute your phone that's why they offer the unlock codes but they have been doing a terrible job marketing their products so when the #1 cellphone provider in America say's NO, they will certainly comply.
I just got one as well in the free deal and it came with v2.04. It has been asking me to update to v2.06 though.
There is a new way to root with S-off, it is done and getting ready for release for all to do if so desired. serious, any day.
How do you check what hboot it has?

Should be able to check in the bootloader. It's right up at the top below where it tells you either S-on/S-off.
Used the promotional coupon from Verizon and got my free DNA this past Friday. It had 2.04 out of the box. About 3 minutes after I powered it on I received the notification to install 2.06 which does nothing but fix some kind of sim card problems people were having. I did not do my research before upgrading to this phone and had no idea that rooting was not an option at the moment or that may have been a deal breaker. I came from the rezound and had it rooted the enitire time I had it. Sux not having a rooted phone after having one for so long. Almost feels like right now I'm in demo mode or something. Hopefully that moonshine method comes out soon cuz I'm in root withdrawal.
