Detailed review
I love almost everything about this phone. My wife has the iPhone 5 and I prefer the DNA due to its razor sharp image and large screen.
There is one major flaw with some of the DNAs. A number of users have reported intermittent SIM card errors rendering the phone useless without notification. The temporary fix requires turning the radio off and back on to reset (either by rebooting the phone or toggling airplane mode). I'm on my second phone due to this issue and it just started exhibiting the SIM card error a few days ago. I use an app called Signal Reset to work around the SIM card flaw.
