Phil over at Android Central has been spending some quality time with the HTC DROID DNA and just so happened to uncover a few surprises. On the back side of the device, to the left of the camera lens, there happens to be a mysterious circle of pinholes. Intriguing to say the least, but when looking for answers, not even HTC’s team members were sure what it was.
In classic Verizon fashion, the company known for bloat has decided to start preloading devices with a new Amazon App Suite.

Just look at the horrendous Verizon logo they stamped on the middle function button of the Note II. And don’t get me started on the non-existent marketing for the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Nexus
