HTC kills big-screen Windows Phone over resolution restriction say insiders
HTC has reportedly axed plans for a big-screen Windows Phone 8 handset to counter the DROID DNA, after deciding that the maximum screen resolution limits of Microsoft's smartphone OS would leave it uncompetitive.

DROID DNA Review
HTC has gone all out with the DROID DNA, and it pays dividends: the new Verizon exclusive breaks records with its 1080p display, putting HTC back into the limelight with a legitimate flagship.
