It doesn't bother me at all. A stellar product and its less than HTC and Apple?

Sign me up.

BTW: I am a clutz w/ my S3 for some reason. I have dropped it time and time again and not a single scratch or mark on it.

Odd I know....you would not think that being its such a cheap @@# phone, right?

The only thing that feels cheap is the light weight plastic rear cover. Most people put cases on anyways. That takes care of that.

Anyone have a Note 2?

I have and want to interact about quirks, tips etc?


Quirks:

1. Not crazy about the Samsung keyboard - no word correction
had to install Jellybean keyboard

2. Not crazy about screen remaining where you last were ie. text messaging. Wish it would go back to text message ALL instead of last one.
You can receive a text message and respond to wrong person if not careful... whoops! lo



Tips:

Love the split screen
1. Activate it through your lampshade
2. then hold down back arrow
3. open one item ie browser then drag next option ie. text message into screen view


Set up gmail option to reset phone screen unlock - so you can reset it via gmail OTHERWISE it will require a factory reset. Yep happened to me.
Somehow I entered a pin # to set up screen lock and entered a different one 2x. Phone locked. Tried 100 variations and couldnt get in

Monster? Monster to hold maybe. A cheap small non-removable battery and very limited memory make this a wannabe phone compared to the better phones available. A phone is useless if it dies halfway through the day. HTC has been making horrible design decisions lately. It does have a nice screen. Their market share has shrunk down to next to nothing for a reason. The last great phone they built was the HD2.

I just bought the DNA and I use it a lot and lasts me the whole day. Love everything about it. I last had the iPhone 4, and I can tell you from experience the Droid DNA is so much better. I can also say from my opinion that it is better than the S3.
