Personal experience about performance of HTC DROID DNA

Good thing is that you can directly open Google play for apps by pressing middle key harder. Making call or receiving calls by HTC DROID DNA is a little bit bad experience. There is very tiny speaker avail in the HTC DROID Dna which makes it harder to understand the other person. So, I have to use headphones for improving call experience. However, as we already told it is equipped with 1.5 GHz processor. So, playing games on HTC Droid D is not well as it gets hot after some time.  However overall experience was awesome and I am really impressed by the looks of HTC Droid DNA. Only complain about the call facility and about the battery. HTC could improve battery life more. But, It is also too large for some persons but not for gaming personality.
