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.
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.
that's enough of the bad.
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.
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.
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.
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.
