that's a big UNLESS !

Technically, if your installing a custom Rom the only different between the two phones are the ram.
Since the sensation can be clocked to 1.8ish, you can buy a bigger battery, you can port the amazes camera software.
The amaze will be a lot smoother over all though, since it does have more ram.
I would get an Amaze, there is no point in having a million roms, you only need a few good ones.

but the RAM (extra 256) really makes that much of a diff? because by looking at the beginning of your comment, i was sure U R going to say - get the sensation. Then U mentioned the RAM as the decisive factor.

With the custom ROM, I'm pretty sure the Sensation will be just as smooth (if not smoother) as the Amaze

256mb will make quite a big difference, the stock sensation Rom is a lot more laggy than the stock amaze Rom is, and they're practically the same thing. If not less "stuff" on the sensation.
So unless you can't handle not flashing a Rom every day, get the amaze.
Even with underclocking to 1.2ghz my phone is still smooth, and you get the battery life of the sensation.
Now of course, everyone here will be biased towards the amaze. And if you ask the sensation people they'd probably say the sensation.
It all comes down to your personal taste, I was in the same position as you. But I chose the Amaze, and I don't regret it at all.
If you can, go into a T-Mobile store and test them out.

And btw.. If you plan on buying the Amaze, its free right now on T-Mobile.com with new activation or upgrade till Sunday. If you want the online pricing and are upgrading, call tmobile and ask for the retention department.

Sensation's screen is uglier....

I think that the Amaze's screen is not the same as the Sensation's. The Amaze's is brighter, is less reflective, and seems more vibrant.

Everything sounds badass about the evo 3d
I want to say the CPU's. Personally I like HTC Sense, but even with the current Evo and a custom ROM Sense needs a little more power than the current Evo can deliver. I want HTC Sense to run as smooth as AOSP does on my Evo 4G So far I have found no ROM/Kernel that can make this happen on my Evo, though the little bit of lag I do see is nothing compared to my old HeroC, LOL.
Sense UI period........ if anyone buy this phone and ***** why can't it be AOSP can stick it up your arse. Go buy LGX2 or SamSux. HTC = Sense UI.

The new sense looks pretty bad ass and the 3d is a nice touch, but its for that third gen Snapdragon and the Adrino 220.
The screen...I really don't care for the 3d stuff. I do not have any experience with 3d products..this I have to see personally. I am disappointed we take a hit on the camera from 8 megapixel down to 5. What good is a camera with a better screen but lower density camera. Many people say the human eye cannot tell the difference from a 8 vs. 5 megapixel picture....my experience tells me otherwise.

[Q] try another sensation or get the amaze?

So I had bought an HTC Sensation this past Thursday. Yesterday I noticed dust behind the screen. Googled it and found it was a big problem for some and they exchanged it. Being within my 14 days I went today to exchange my sensation which T-Mobile did right away. Get back to work and start setting up the phone and notice an even bigger piece of dust under the screen! I went back after work to get a third one. The guy there then let me see the amaze. I liked it but do like the looks of the sensation better. Amaze was faster and smoother.
So basically I am the kind of person where yes dust under the screen annoys the crap out of me and I expect more from paying that much for a phone. So what would you do? Get a third sensation and hope for no dust or get the amaze and deal with the looks? (I love the back of the amaze but hate the metal ring, but it is starting to grow on me)
you answered your own question seriously bro
I'm thinking along the same lines as the OP here...got seriously burnt (and annoyed) with the Sensation, had 2 units both with exactly the same problem and have now received a full refund the piece of crap! So...I do like the looks of the HTC units and my wife is in the market for a new phone (upgrade from the Desire) and the Amaze fits the bill...and so far from googling, I've not foun any "serious" recurrent problems...
On a slightly different topic, but still sort of related (!) can anyone tell me if the Amaze 4g unit will work in Australia (I know there is no 4g here yet, but its coming next year apparently)?
I still say sensation because if development but amaze is picking up so for the more ram but mostly camera sensor maybe amaze.
Sorry. Guess I didn't help at all lol

I came from a Sensation and sometimes I rather miss it., because of the dev community. It is a solid phone that looks good and has the right size weight and thickness. (only if you get the ones without the dust in the glass).
I upgraded to an amaze because of the camera, dedicated video and camera buttons, NFC, larger memory, built in 16gb and also better front facing camera. At this point I like it a lot. The phone works well and the pictures are an improcement, (more details in low light).
IMO the screen seems to be more vivid and brighter than the sensation, even tho they say it is the same screen.
I am just waiting for the Amaze dev community to grow and this will be even better than the sensation. (bad timing for the Amaze community cuz of waiting on ICS, dev doesn't want to put too much time into and older build when ICS is coming in a moth or so.

I had both as well as the Inspire 4G and the G2 and I would say the Amaze is the best phone I've ever used hands down. Just like all phones, development takes time but it is progressing at the same pace as anything else I think. I was happy with my Sensation but the Amaze is just so much better.
As a totally happy and satisfied user of a rooted glacier, would I notice any substantial improvement in just the overall experience of using the phone?
The only major plus I see is the larger screen in terms of real tangible differences that I would notice immediately.
Are there any "must have" features that the amaze would deliver that the average user would notice and benefit from?
Wow cool to know this because I went to tmo amd I WAS going to buy the sensation but I decided to get the amaze. I bought it full price,
500$ for sensation, 529$ for amaze, and here I am )

Welcome fellow Ruby user. For the extra $29, you have at least future proofed your phone for an extra 3-6 months with the extra stuff that the Sensation doesn't have.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a former Sensation user and love it. But the Amaze has more RAM, better camera (backlit illuminated), better front cam 2mp, dedicated camera button and video button, louder speaker, NFC, faster CPU out of the box (even tho the Sensation is underclocked with the same chip), larger battery (but doesn't last as long), and IMO a brighter and clearer screen (even tho it's supposedly the same screen; maybe I got a better batch this time).
Enjoy it.
So initial impression from sensation was that this amaze is definetly bigger. Couple hours later and I'm already used to it and love it.
Camera buttons are awesome.
Stock for stock it destroys the sensation.
I'm a very happy guy right now

TBH, you have [legally] 18 month software support. Even further, you get a PHENOMENAL camera and 4g support. The Amaze will have much coming to it over the next 18 months.

Sensation getting Sense 4 "Lite" What's this mean for the Amaze?

“HTC Sense brings a variety of new software enhancements to HTC One, some of which utilize the latest hardware innovations, meaning not all functionality can be introduced to older HTC Devices. With that said, we are looking to bring a Sense 4 software update that includes as many of the enhancements as possible to a variety of our new devices.“

Could this mean that the amaze line could get a similar version. At first I thought no way in hell htc would give a old device of Sense 4 even if it is lite, then again lite could mean dry as grandmas meatloaf. Comments Thoughts?
Seems interesting, hopefully, HTC won't give us a watered down version like espresso which completely sucked

I'm not too concerned, sense has a long way to go to compete with go launcher!
dont think so, firstly, we have a 1.5 Ghz S3 processor vs the 1.2 Ghz S2 Processor on the sensation and we also have 1GB Ram as oposed to 768 Ram on the Sensation. I think our phones should be able to handle it
That would be awesome if we got that version, but by the time that rolls out I'm pretty sure we will have a stable sense 4.0 rom if devs pick up on it lol

firstly, the S2 is a single core processor which is inside the inspire. we have the exact same processor and gpu that is inside the sensation just slightly overclocked.

its not about being able to handle it, its about marketing and if it would effect the sales of their new one series.

i hope the sense 4,0 gets on the amaze. no reason why it wouldnt. that phone can take it
i believe it will be a reduced version of sense 4 as we do not carry the proprietary image sensor from the one series, and probably with decreased functionality in media sharing as well.
though i'd be surprised if it was vastly different from stock sense 4.0
All I know is I hope it don't worsen the battery life! I mean I seem to get better than most with 12-15 hours of decent usage, but definitely don't want to see that go down.

I dont think it will come to the amaze sense 4 at all. Just marketing. Sense 3.6 makes more sense for amaze.

Htc evo 4g lte aka htc one x?

I'm sure alot of you guys have heard of it by now sprint is releasing there newest evo but is it really worth leaving your HTC EVO 3D by looking at the specifications of the phone and by comparison not much difference I see.
Lemme know what you guys think?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Nope. I'm personally gonna stick with the Evo until i feel its old enough or i phone is released that i like,
It all comes down to opinion and peoples liking.
I don't like how the LTE phone looks nor do i care if its LTE since i don't even have 4g where i live.
To me pretty much everything that the 3D has is about the same besides two factors is a bigger screen and 4G LTE and well of course sense 4.0 but hey
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
New processor and everything the phone is going to be nice but it is one of the first of its kind so it can be easily surpassed but the 3d is still a nice device only reason I would be getting the new EVO is because of the beefier specs

3d has a processor more like cortex a8 which isn't good enough and a single channel 1gb memory.
New EVO/one x (U.S version) have dual core a15 processor which is better than quad core cortex a9 (tegra 3) in almost every test . It also has a dual channel memory compared to single one of the 3d and that's just not dual channel , its clocked at higher frequency too .
Edit: Forgot to mention about camera, its a huge improvement over past phone cameras...
I don't care if sprint comes out with an 8-core phone with 7 days of battery life, unless they fix their 3g data speeds in the next two months, I'm switching to Verizon.

Goodbye. I am so tired of people saying that. Just leave. They won't have it fixed in two months. Their network is over capacity. It will take time to get the network overhauled. I'm gonna enjoy the NetworkVision and unlimited LTE at a great price. My 3G speeds do suck at times, but I'm dealing with it. It will be really awesome soon.

[Q] Best Atrix 4g alternative on T-mobile?

About a month ago I switched from at&t post paid to tmobile prepaid $30 a month plan. The phone works on tmobile after I got the unlock code from at&t, but I only get HSPA+ in certain areas, the majority of the time I'm stuck on EDGE.
I'd like to get a phone around $100-$130 used/new/refurb that is comparable to the Atrix 4g(dual core, dual cameras, 512mb-1gb ram, 16gb+ storage) but with the ability to use t mobiles 1700/2100mhz bands. Having ICS or JB would be a plus.
I would say the G2X probablly... Specs are very very similar to the atrix. Also it seems there's some good development work going on over in their forum.
Edit: actually the HTC amaze might be an even better option.

HTC Amaze 4g and S2X are very similar, same processor, same amount of ram, onboard storage, however HTC Amaze has a smaller higher resolution screen at 256 ppi and 4.3 inches vs 208 ppi and 4.5 inches. HTC Amaze is heavier though, so it really comes down to samsung vs HTC and screen vs size/weight. I believe S2X has the more active development community however the HTC Amaze's is still alive too.

Do NOT get the G2x. I promise you'll be disappointed. It's buggy, has no working ICS, and poor battery life. Very bad phone. The Amaze, the Sensation, and the Galaxy S2 are really your best bets. Sensation has great support, but all three are good choices. The Amaze is probably the best of the three
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
I have worked with three of these phones (Atrix, LG2X & Amaze) and would say that the Amaze 4G is the better option. The G2X looks great on paper but does not perform well and any rom I installed had random reboots.
The Amaze has a lot of rom choices and also feels similar to the Atrix; rounded corners and the soft buttons.
You could also try and find the Atrix HD for cheap as it works on t-mobile with LTE and all.
