IF you could swap for any phone except the Gs4 what would you choose?

[Gorilla*]

So... I have the DNA and im getting the dreaded Sim card error even after the update.... Verizon has offered to replace the phone with any other device besides the GS4, because there is no stock of the Gs4 yet.

What would you choose and why....

Im thinking I just just get the GS3, because its S-OFF and i can run cyanogen Mod 10.1 easily....

But I havent used a motorola in a long time, and Maybe it would be fun to have a Razr HD MAXX, for insane battery life. that could be fun...

Any suggestions?

IMO going to the S3 would be a step backwards. I would either wait for S4 to come in stock, or get a Note II. Without having S-OFF on my DNA I would much prefer the Note II, and overall actually even with S-OFF I would still probably prefer the Note II.

Any idea how long it takes for warranty replacement stocks to build up? A month? If so, ill just wait and snag the Gs4...

If not, i agree the Note 2 is probably my best bet. A friend had one and I actually kind of enjoyed using it the other day. Its big, yea, and its screen is only 720p... but could i really tell? NO....

I cleaned the contacts on my sim, and reinserted it.. I hope to stay with the DNA, but if this is giving me hell consistently sounds like i should go Note 2.

Most reviews I've seen had the s4 posting better scores, and it's processor is clocked faster than the HTC One.

Quadrant scores are useless and clock speeds are just the same... My six core CPU can beat the pants off an eight core if the bus allows it. I've used both DNA is much more smooth.

Quad Core is the way

Once you have tasted the DNA Screen & Speed, you will disappointed with the GS3, I got the GS3 and Yes you will really tell 720p resolution Cartoonist noticeable same goes to the Note II. HTC One or SG4 JB 4.2.2 ROM you will fly with 1.7 - 1.9 GHz Quad Core

honestly, i wouldnt trade this phone for the One or any samsung. i love how thin and sexy this phone is. has more than enough speed. and i love sense 5. stick with the DNA

The S4 is smooth. I've used it. Nature UX, while filled with bloat is more appealing to the eye than Sense.

Both machines will not have a noticeable performance difference. Scores don't mean diddly, reviews don't mean crap either. Drop by a store, spend 30 minutes with one, and see for yourself.

If I HAD to trade and couldn't have a S4, the two ONLY two phones I would get are a Note II and a Nexus 4.

I have used both in person and s 4 was faster imo.

Spec wise aren't they both pretty much the same ? It would come down to build quality for me.

re s4

I played with the s4 and it was waaaay quicker.. instantaneous compared to the dna..

The dna is no slouch.. but the s4 blew me away..

Just with the back was not all plasticky..


Other than that.. though.. heres my pros for both

htc
better materials
sleek


s4
faster
larger community / dev groups
micro sd card slot
removable battery
did i mention faster.

Startac, Really?

Motorola Startac

1999. Startac VIP Series, PCS digital phone, bought and used in Korea, brought it back home to U.S. and couldnt even get it turned on because the networks were still analog.. That was a truly great phone. One of the best flip phones ever built, Period. But the DNA is still the best phone out.
