Yes, my story was about my visit
to DMV. Here is what I wrote:<br>
<br>
I went to DMV about a year ago to
update my title after paying off
my car. I had to wait over an
hour. DMV charges for the service
they provide. I suspect the state
has reduced the number of people
assisting customers due to budget
constraints. I also suspect that
the DMV turns a profit and if so
that money needs to be used to
create a better customer service
experience. <br>

<div>I have the DNA,
and while i love the
device i hate the
stock HTC Sense
experience. however
after unlocking,
rooting, and the
like the custom rom
i have is pretty
nice and allows me
to get a more AOSP
feel to the device.
And the development
on getting Cyanogen
to run is very
close, they just had
a breakthrough
yesterday and got
the radois to work,
next is WiFi and
audio i think.<br>
<br>
</div>
Also the dust plug on
the bottom will come
off on you pretty
readily, and the
speaker on minimum
volume is actually
quite loud still.<br>
<div><br>
that's enough of the
bad.<br>
<br>
The good. the screen
resolution is the
best i have seen in
a handheld device
ever. it is large
without feeling
clunky (its actually
quite comfortable to
hold and work with,
and it is very fast.
The battery i get an
average of 12-14
hours of use out of
the device with
medium heavy load,
and more with light
load. the sound with
beats enabled sounds
very good, to the
point i can hear the
difference in lower
quality streams now
where previous
devices i could not.
the camera is fast,
and very responsive.
and the screen is
amazing... yes i did
mention it twice. it
is that nice.<br>
<br>
If you have any
specific questions
let me know. but i
like you dont play
more than maybe one
or two games, and
its mostly an
internet device i
can make calls on.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Side note SSH is
a bit interesting,
as you have more
screen real-estate
to work with, but if
you are not careful
you may need a
magnifying glass to
read the screen, i
suggest an ssh
client like
connect-bot that
will let you change
your font size a
bit.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I chose this over
the Note2, S3, and
N4. While the N4 has
all the cool
development, the DNA
was a nicer device
to use, physically.
and i actually like
the hardware buttons
so they are not
actually eating up
part of my screen
space.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm thinking
about making
the move to a
smart phone.
I am looking
at the DROID
DNA by HTC
that Verizon
is offering
for $199.<br>
<br>
I am
interested in
a smart phone
because I
would like to
use it to take
pictures,
capture video,
and edit
video, so I
can manage my
blog and
social media.
I might even
use it as a
phone.<br>
<br>
As an example
usage: I went
to DMV about a
year ago to
update my
title after
paying off my
car. I had to
wait over an
hour. DMV
charges for
the service
they provide.
I suspect the
state has
reduced the
number of
people
assisting
customers due
to budget
constraints.
I also suspect
that the DMV
turns a profit
and if so that
money needs to
be used to
create a
better
customer
service
experience. <br>
<br>
If I would
have had a
smart phone I
could have
interviewed
several
people,
uploaded the
video to
YouTube.com,
written an
article for my
blog, added
some tweets to
my twitter
account, and
updated my
Facebook page,
all while
waiting. <br>
<br>
This is an
example as to
why I want to
upgrade to a
smart phone
and what my
expectations
are.<br>
<br>
I'd be
interested in
what your
thoughts might
be about the
DROID DNA,
Verizon, and
how I expect
to use the
phone.<br>
<br>
Thank you!! <br>
