I was looking at tmo website today and noticed that Amaze is cheaper than mytouch 4g slide. Look at the image attached. Wth? I have both the phones and as you know amaze is way better that mytouch 4g slide. Do you think this is just a mistake on tmo part or are they really trying to get rid of amaze?
Probably just trying to clear out their stock of the amaze before the one series drops

Thats what I thought but aren't they trying to clear out mt4gs as well? MT4GS might not even get ICS. Very weird IMO.
Anything the Sensation gets the MT4GS can get too by porting.
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.

Yep turns out the sales for the Amaze were pretty horrid compared to what they were expecting. Another reason why T-Mobile and HTC carry so few accessories. Not to mention all the returns from bleeding and other issues. They probably lost a crapton of money on this model =(
UPDATE: Amaze is now free with a new 2 yr contract. Mytouch 4g is at $100 and mytouch 4g slide at $200.

Just wandering gamespot.com and noticed an article referring to GTA 3 coming to iOS and certain higher end Android devices. Rockstar listed the Evo 2 as one of the devices. After Christmas search it looks like HTC is dropping sprint as their device carrier.

I'm almost 100% certain they're talking about the Evo 3D. Also where did you hear this rumor of HTC dropping Sprint. That's insane they would lose so much money. HTC has been working with Sprint even before android devices probably their biggest provider in the U.S.
Probably. a typo ...think. they meant. Evo 3d.

Link? Besides I seriously wouldn't count that as valid with any weight behind it.
And the EVO line is exclusive to Sprint within the U.S. & it's available internationally on other carriers.
Ex:
EVO WiMax (Japan)
EVO 4G+ (Korea),
EVO 3D GSM (Canada/Europe/Unlocked)
Yep I saw this article too and I'm sure they meant the evo 3d.
I think you may be right about the Evo 2/ 3vo confusion. The article I found was here although there is no link to any info on htc dropping sprint. Must be speculation.

I thought the whole EVO line was named by Sprint and only for Sprint...at least in the US.

I remember buying my HTC touch from sprint a month before the Iphone came out. A much better phone, even though it had wm. Then the HTC Pro, Pro 2, EVO,EVO 3d. If they do drop sprint which is highly unlikely, they will loose a loyal customer.
Ps. it also works for Samsung galxy tab 7 plus if interested. Side loading needed.

Every time someone says "Evo" HTC gets a nickel. There's no way they would drop Sprint. HTC makes as much money as they do by getting their products on as many carriers as possible. Every phone you see that they have put on Verizon, At&t, and T-Mobile were basically just rebranded Evos.
I work for t mobile if you have a mytouch 4g slide or htc sensation pm me so i could help you get it switched for a htc amaze 4g thanks:d just ship your phone to tmobile once you get your new phone
Can you explain how this process would work?

Yes, please explain how this would work. I'm interested, but leery of the process.
I came across a guy about a month ago on craigslist that worked for customer service. He claimed that he could credit your account the full price of an amaze, gs2 or whatever phone you wanted. Then you would order the phone with the credit. THEN pay him 150 to 250 depending on what you wanted. Could be same here. Could be something else. Proceed with caution is my advice.
We should start a thread over at sensation forum for everyone to switch to the better amaze lol

XDA is not a source for such activity.

What do you guys think?

I think it sucks and is stupid, but hopefully (fingers crossed) Tmobile still pushes the amaze for awhile.
And I think there's thread with the exact title of your article, that came up today, and is prob within ten threads down of this. Haha, I'd blame it on the insomnia I'd I were you

Yeah I'll just close this one out.
I've been contemplating between Sensation and Amaze for quite some time now....Amaze has lot of +++ over Sensation no doubt, but no S OFF is big minus
Anyway, just was wondering if Amaze has better Data speeds than sensation in reality also, if anyone having both phone can suggest ? Theoretically, I know it should but it is also practically
Well my friend has the sensation and here RARELY hit 10mbps, (sometimes a little higher but at its highest peak). I EASILY get 12-15mbps with peaks of 20-25. Huge difference. I honestly say if your a flashaholic go with the sensation, even though the amaze beats the sensation in every category (style&looks is opinionated)

Thanks for the reply...i am coming from HTC HD2 that makes the decision even harder
Amaze is better at everything except for this and weight, I guess...
The thing is Amaze is what the original sensation should have been...though I made up my mind, I will go with Amaze coz of better camera, data speed,no death grip issue and minimal price difference. There is also CPU and RAM but that I think would negate if I put CM7/9 on sensation. The other differences are just too many to overlook now over.
Sense UI is ok except I will ICS for now, hopefully HTC will take care of that too soon
No ics from HTC anytime soon. But custom roms yes. There might not be tons of people in the amaze section but I've seen many many people help others
I actually like the thickness from the amaze I also have a trident case on my which makes it way thicker. Youll LOVE your amaze especially coming from your hd2

I get 17Mbps easy here during the day. A bit faster late night. I almost bought the sensation instead. The t-mobile clerk at the Peoria, IL store was very blunt.. Told me not to.. i will regret it. (This was before the at&t merger was denied.). I ponied up the money for the amaze 4g thinking if the at&t merger does go through (or even if it doesn't) the amaze supports at&t's 850mhz and 1900mhz HSPA+ band. Failsafe. I don't think the sensation supports 850mhz HSPA+ (per the clerks info)
how many of us EVO 3d owners were gonna switch to the phones in the title, im gsm and lte wont be hitting the uk (like the evo 3d wasnt)
UNTIL ICS WAS LEAKED
and then changed there mind, deciding, the EVO still has life left in the old baby yet
I'll still be upgrading

I'll be pre ordering the LTE for sure. I upgrade once a year no matter what.

honestly the best way to use an upgrade is on a iPhone (if you like them), because sprint devices drop value after 2-3 months you could pick one up used for contract price from craigslist

That's not a bad idea. Get the iPhone for contract price. Sell it for way more. Buy a used Evo LTE. Then keep the profit.

I'm still going to preorder the LTE but if Newt gets his Rom running 100percent I may keep my 3d
Method1911 3D
HTC has announced that the One X won't be unlockable on AT&T. If they don't allow unlocking on Sprint, how will that affect your decision? I'm sure a dev or three will eventually find a hole and give us a root method, but I'm sure it won't be easy and may be a good bit of a wait.
Yes that's a good point. If it cannot be unlocked, I'll keep my 3d.
Method1911 3D
I'll be ordering mine in 20 hours 18 mins and 15 seconds
HTC really shot themselves in the foot, not that im complaining
Still getting the EVO LTE the EVO 3d is good and has life but its missing something what idk
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
the evo 3d is still good, not the best phone possible obviously but more than "good enough" with this update, I dont think that I will upgrade at least for six months more, probably next year.
my money now will go toward a new tablet instead of a new phone.
ICS is nice but the New Camera, Kickstand, S4 Krait, 16GB, HD Voice, LTE, NFC and Sense 4.0 with the new EVO is really tempting.
If anything, ICS/Sense 3.6 made my 3D go up in value.
I'm going to need a Sprint leak or final before I actually sell though. Can't roam with the current VM leak.

I think Agrabren mentioned something about finding an exploit in the S4 chip and stated that REVOLUTIONARY will only support qualcom chips. We should be in good shape with or without HTC's unlock, though I doubt Sprint will restrict unlocking.
Think I'm going to wait for the s3 i love sense but I'm tired of HTC the so called flagship phones come out with a bang then in 3 months or less they are forgotten look at the 3d and rezound
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The OneX is unlockable even on AT&T. HTC announced they understood that customers were very upset that they could not unlock their devices and decided to make all new phones since the 3d, unlockable. As far as sense3.6, I'm not that excited about it. Sense 4.0 is still way much better. I'm going to get the OneX when it comes to sprint in June. But the name is going to be changed, adding it to the evo family. I hear its suppose to be the best evo yet, even topping the Evo4g LTE. I'm excited.

When the OneX joins Sprints Evo family, its said to have removeable SD unlike AT&T version. As for the removeable battery, I'm sure there is a way, there is ALWAYS a way.
