HTC Amaze 4G (T-Mobile USA) Android smartphone - part 1 of 2

[JasnoGT]

Badass phone with great specs but the Sensation is thinner, lighter and has a better concave glass design giving it a bit more protection. Ive seen the Amaze. The glass is on top of the phone making it less protected. Design flaw.

[Jrock2k9]

I really wanted the galaxy s2 but a 4.52 in displays is a little too big for me. I'm getting the Amaze next week. As long as its fast and responsive like the s2, then I'm sold.

[calikalinfo]

Can you skype using this phone.?

[DaarkRedeemer]

My amaze is missing the myself widget did they get rid of it? I guess I need the kindle app.

[flubberdoggy]

is there a lighting setting to make the home return search w/e buttons on the bottom light up like the samsung galaxy s2?

[StreaminGreen]

Its design is a little to similar to my 1 year old MyTouch 4g.

[krazygreen]

@StreaminGreen Maybe a little, since they're both HTC. The Amaze is hefty and big, but the screen is gorgeous and makes the MyTouch look ancient in comparison (qHD S-LCD with higher resolution). I still like hte MT4g though and still believe it's a great device, I'm just talking in regards to new generation dual cores vs. the single cores and the hardware differences.

[StreaminGreen]

@krazygreen yeah your completely right there. And yes it really is in fact an adequate phone; I've dropped it several times to where my screen is severely cracked from multiple falls yet it still works near perfect:)

[KidSillyFresh]

This phone is gorgeous. Plus it's getting ICS. I'm glad I got it. HTC never fails when it comes to phone design.

You hary

[liltasha03]

[liltasha03]

[thatnigga54]

Good androids mobile

I love this phone so much and will probably get it when it lands in Europe. I am situated in London, UK. I hear it will be renamed HTC Ruby upon reaching European shores. My only issue with this is that it has no gorilla glassing which all the other big boy Smart phones have. Do you think this is a problem? At 1.5 ghz dual core, it is the fastest phone. The other major players are dual core 1.2ghz. Samsung are soon to release a 1.5 ghz dual core Skyrocket next month. This or HTC Vivid?

[jchao617]

i love this phone a lot its not as wide as the galaxy s II tmobile USA version. i just wish the battery will last a lil bit longer =X

[YoungTrellafrella]

slow as shit

[ohgeefreeks310]

What phone will give me the most bang for my buck. I want a fast phone that doesnt lag like my optimus v. Help?

[Nullstr1ng]

Can I have your green eyes?

[Michaelhuyta70]

Why isn't there a headphone? That's so strange.

[gyphon23]

Hi, i have a request. Can you do a photo and video recording quality between HTC amaze and Samsung Galaxy S2 from T mobile? I heard some bad review from HTC, just wanna get a second opinion from you.

[Jerz1983]

Its just a slightly upgraded sensation

[MrBigdad63]

I think that it is possible (that when you are using the keyboard) that you don't have to push the space bar to select the word. As long as it is highlighted, lifting your finger and going to the next swipe will select the last word automatically. At least it works that way with swype.

[theandyandsamyshow]

poop its kinda ugly :( 

[VSrdjanV]

Galaxy S 2 does have usb tethering..

[mobileburn]

@VSrdjanV Not the T-Mobile version. At least not mine....

[VSrdjanV]

@mobileburn Yeah... I realized that the second I posted that comment :) I can't get used to that international (the on I have) version and other variants of it in US will not have the same options in it. So my bad :)

[SuperMirza1983]

Great review. Thnx

[techworldchi]

can you please compare this to the iphone 4s?

[vktor2011]

Good man

[houchi69]

whats with the terrible neon green screen in the background? hurts my eyes...

[mobileburn]

@houchi69 I had a blue one that worked better, but it got trashed. Have to pick up a new one.

[medtik]

@mobileburn wooden background works the best

[Zhk35]

Tnx!

[TheMarioItaliano]

Great Review, thanks :-)

[Crunknicka]

good looking phone...i still think the Galaxy S II has it beat tho(except in design)

[mobileburn]

@Crunknicka I would agree. The Samsung's design is rather plain, though thin and light. I don't mind the heft of the HTC and really like the solid feel it offers.

[xPaiNxStaR]

And this is HTC review NOT Samsung. Stop talking about SGS2.

[mobileburn]

@xPaiNxStaR Yet if you are in the market for such a device as the Amaze 4G, then you really ought to know that the SGS2, which came out at the same time and has some advantages for a slightly lower price point, can do most of the same things. These videos aren't meant to service fanboys, but to inform people looking to purchase a new phone.
