Droid DNA owners, your wishes will soon be granted. HTC and Verizon have not forgot about this device (yet). Verizon has finally approved an update which will bring DNA owners to 4.2.2 and Sense 5.
Mohammed Versi, HTC’s executive director, tweeted that Verizon has approved the update after a 4 month wait.
DNA Owners! We have received technical approval from Verizon on OS 4.2.2 + Sense 5!! Thank you for your patience, the OTA will go out soon!!

Versi also replied to a question on Twitter that it should start pushing out tomorrow.
@bkgamer @DrLovePiston Verizon pushes out the update. Should start receiving by tomorrow. Thanks.

This will bring along BlinkFeed as well as a nice overhaul in the visual department. It has definitely been a long wait for HTC Droid DNA owners, but at least they have confirmed the device is still on HTC’s list to receive 4.3/4.4. The Droid DNA is still a worthy phone in this day and age even though it was overshadowed by the HTC One.
To those that are still rocking the Droid DNA, I salute you. I owned the coveted red employee edition you see above and can say this was one amazing piece of hardware. So for the Droid DNA owners out there, let us know when you get the update and how you like Sense 5!
