Despite being one of T-Mob's first HSPA+ 42Mbps phones, HTC's Amaze 4G fails to stun with its subpar battery life and washed out qHD display. quote

At the end of the day, the purchase choice is yours to make, but for our money, we'd hold out for something packing a wee bit more milliampere-hours.

The HTC Amaze 4G is a beautifully designed and fast Android smartphone, with some advanced camera features, but don't go ditching your point-and-shoot camera just yet.

The HTC Amaze 4G has a big beautiful screen, a great camera, and fast HSPA+ 42 speeds, making it a top choice for Android smartphones on T-Mobile.

But yeah, it feels great, the camera is dope, and it generally works really well. It's a very nice phone/camera.

From its slick design to its fast performance and dazzling display, the Amaze is all-around good phone. If you’re looking for a stylish phone with a excellent camera, but don't mind a little extra bulk, the Amaze is ideal for you.

While we’re sure that the hardcore HTC fans will love it, we can’t say the same about potential new users. There are just way too many options out there which simply offer more for you hard earned money.

The HTC Amaze 4G may not completely live up to its name, but it fits in nicely with the upper class of Android devices thanks to a better than average build quality alone.

So far this has been my favorite android phone. Plenty of space for apps and music, gat screen and battery life and great audio quality. Has some issues with HTC's sense bogging down the system sometimes but mostly the phones fly through app switching, and rarely Boggs down with heavy use.

Note - The rating I gave the phone is how I feel about the phone as stock, not rooted. I had high expectations when I went to get this phone. After some use, it wasn't all that I thought it would be. New phone, great processor, GB ram, etc. But the processor really drains the battery, GB of ram...

The phone is above average. There are lots of products out there currently that far surpass the phone, for an equivalent price, such as the Samsung Galaxy S2. HTC Sense is what really ruined this phone for me, I hate sense (especially the keyboard). Get the Galaxy S II instead. Keyboard is far...

The is the best Android phone I've had to date. It's fast, has lots of memory, and the best camera in any phone so far. It's and AF camera and takes pictures lightening quick. It also can do burst mode and HDR. My only complains so far is battery life and I also find the phone has become a...

Great phone, I haven't found a phone on the market I'd rather have right now. Especially after HTC announced Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) will be released for the phone after the beginning if the new year.
