Hey all, my girlfriend has a TMobile MTGS 4G slide and complains that it's too heavy and bulky. She hardly uses the physical keyboard and wants a new phone.
I was just wondering if getting her a HTC Amaze would still be worth it since it's EOL already and probably won't see much more updates from TMobile or HTC. If not, what new phones would you recommend? I don't like the HTC One S because there is no SD card slot or a removable battery.
Your thoughts?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
It's as worth it right now as it will ever be, development is booming like never before since S-OFF and the ICS leak, but if your girlfriend is complaining about bulkiness and heaviness then you may want to look into another phone because the Amaze is not so thin and weighs almost as much as the myTouch 4G Slide
The Amaze is still solid, BUT is also heavy (and even heavier with a case obviously). So have her try it. The One S is SUPER lightweight, and she probably doesn't need more than 16 gb (sorry for sexist generalization, but it's 90% accurate) of storage. It's a lot more sleek and thin... WAY more attractive for women imo. Shed love it.
If you're on a budget though, she would prolly prefer the sgs2 or galaxy nexus because of the weight difference

if sexist its towards guys since they have to have all their porn on their sd-card. thats why its a "deal killer" for most people hahaha
but yeah, for a girl i would say the one s anyday. its more sleek, thin, much more fluid/easy to use OS (sense 4.0), etc.

Lol, I wonder if any girls out there agree with your assessments?
Well, she's tried my phone out and likes it more than her mytouch. But I guess I'll have her try out the One S at the store to see if she likes it then. Any other phones on the horizon? HTC and their EOLing of phones 6 months later had me a little concerned that they're going to do the same thing to the One S.

I would have to agree with hd2joel. Tried Samsung and it has one of the worst quality on the market. Even my friend at Samsung advised me to stay away as many methods of cutting corners occurred in the development and manufacture. Happily back to HTC.

Here's my 2....The One S just released and the One series HTC said they are planning on offering on many providers with little to no variations. This means that in time all of the devices (X, S, V) should (in theory) have a very strong development base. The SGS3 gets released internationally soon that means Tmobile won't see it til the end of 3rd/beginning of 4th quarter this year. It's also been talked about them dropping the Exynos processor for the American versions. Honestly I rocked a Vibrant for a long time but would steer clear of any and all Samsung devices. The Amaze is a solid device though but it's already dated. No reason in starting out behind.

Even if HTC were to discontinue the phone today it's still a 1.5ghz dual core 4G phone. The SGS2 is pretty much identical in specs. If the phones are so similar and the Amaze is no longer in production but the SGS2 is, then is the Amze "obsolete?" Your definition of obsolete must be different than mine.

im sorry, i used a poor choice of words. i was in a hurry when i wrote this. By obsolete i meant that htc will not be supporting us and will stop sellin the phone.
With the second generation dual core and first generation quad cores on the horizon. Not to mention the big hardware specification push, it is/will be soon obsolete. Does that make it irrelevant, no.. Hell computers are obsolete before you buy them for the most part. Just live with and enjoy your device...

I agree. You have a two year contract when you purchase a phone with a discount. Who here thinks that T-Mobile shouldn't start offering new phones before your two year contract expires? Seriously! The phone has been out for what... three, four months now? I would say that's pretty good actually. Don't worry about the phone itself though. You still have a 1 year warranty which will still be honored should you require service. It's still a powerhouse of a phone and we're expecting an update here very soon. So... what's the problem? You guys are acting like it's the damn G1.
You know to be honest I was expecting a better phone to come out about a month after ours did. I'm surprised that it didn't. But I'm saying this to people that are suprised that in this day and technological age your phone is old and outdated before you can manage to buy accessories for it. Just look at it this way... iphone fans are constantly being screwed by Apple and their yearly releases! You wait in line overnight to buy the new iphone 4GS or whatever and nine months later Apple teases you with the new iphone 4GS2 for a super low price of $600 because you're still on contract. Else they can wait for another year for the release of the iphone 5 or whatever. It's a sales gimmick and that's all there is to it. Yet you guys are surpised to see this with HTC? Naive I think.
Only thing you need to worry about is awful Dev support.
Im sorry I like XB and the others but this phone has just about zero Rom selection compared to SGS2 and other phones. Nothing even close to a workable ICS build.
The phone itself is fantastic mostly due to the camera , HW isnt what you should be worried about.

It might be "just a phone" but I paid a large chunk of cash for my phone and I don't like getting screwed over by Google.......not to mention Apple's bait & switch marketing.
Smartphones "smart" once you find out your phone will be semi-obsolete as is the case here with Google trying to tell software & hardware developers what to do.

All of this is true but don't you all feel that the htc amaze is a bad phone? You can't have a case because you lose WiFi signal, you have to put electrical tape on the back of the phone to prevent the flash from messing up your pictures at night, the haptic key light bleeds in the screen, the faceplate on the back creaks really loud when putting pressure. I did not pay over 600 for a phone to have so many problems.

T-mo news did post an article stating that the amaze 4g is reaching "end-of-life" and will he discontinued soon. This may lower our chance of getting more dev support, but let's be thankful for who we do have which is some great developers like xboarder, faux, and now nrg... Just have patience, soom good stuff is going to be coming to us in the near future, we just need to wait. No one has a perfectly running ICS with no bugs we arent far behind guys we will have what we want soon

I do not see why it is such a big deal they won't be producing htc amaze anymore(if that is true). anyway even the htc ville we are expecting to come out in march or the samsung bliss, they have nothing special, same dual core cpu, same speed + the camera that the amaze has is one of the best in the market. So I find all this "worried about my amaze" a little too exaggerated. and yes it is just a phone, if you are concerned just go sell it back and buy a new one when it comes out. hope your worries about the htc amaze do not keep you from living a normal life...extra stress is never good
I love my Amaze. I knew about the "flaws" before I bought it. To my amazement, it's better than I thought and read about. I fortunately do not have the creaking back cover(there's a fix), Wi-Fi range is awesome even with a case, GPS locks in seconds even inside the house, battery life last all day, awesome ROMs available (thank you devs, you know who you are, lol) the list goes on.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"
Don't know how accurate that is but Idk why it would take so long to connect.

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
just sold my galaxy nexus and looking to get a new phone im leaning more towards htc one s or amaze. what would u guys get and why?

Hope these help you decide though.
And if those aren't enough here's what I think:
Personally I wouldn't buy any phone without a shutter button because it makes it that much easier for me to use.
The Amaze let's you go straight to camcorder or camera from the lock screen/off screen simply by holding down the corresponding button.
This works wonders for when I want to capture moments with my kids.
And the One S? No removable battery, no microSD card...what is it, an iPhone?
I think it's original production name was iphONE S.
Seriously, think about it. Lol.
Before you buy any phone check to see if there's a good developer community for it. What makes these smart phones smarter is solid development.
You're better off going for the s3. I know i am
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
If sd card, removable battery, dedicated camera/camcorder button and NFC are important then you should go for the Amaze. On the other hand if none of that is important then I'd suggest going for the One S. From what I've seen, the One S has a pretty good developing community and HTC is currently supporting it as it's one of their flagship phones. While the Amaze is left in the dust sadly.

I agree. I went from the Amaze (well still have it as a backup) to the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm in your reverse situation. Honestly, the hardware of the Amaze is top notch, so in that regard you wouldn't be disappointed.
However, if you are looking for a variety of things to flash and robust development, the Amaze is really not a good phone to get. It's no fault of the few developers we do have, but more a lack of proper drivers and source thanks to HTC abandoning this device.
If development is important to you, go with the HTC One S (better processor, GPU and screen) or the SGS3 (better everything) when it comes out on the 21st. Both will have better dev communities since they are flagship devices.

i might try to get tmobile to send me one as a replacement device, or if someone wants to trade there one s for my amaze.
Purchasing either one right now is a poor consumer decision and would be very premature. I'm a fan of the Amaze, but not happy that HTC has abandoned it. I'd wait to play with the S3 and then weigh your options and decide what's most important to you.

Android phone + iPad = best combination IMO. iOS is an awesome tablet os compared to Android, but a
Android is much better on the small screen! Plus, use the phone to tether if you want to use the tablet outside a wifi area.

First problem I'm having with the One S... Margins are small for big hands... Typing the letters q, a, p, and l are all awkward...
It's snappier than the amaze though

Can WE SAY
E.T PHONE HOME ....
i will never buy a another phone for @ least 5-10 yr now that i have my Amaze 4G
16gb internal 32gb expandable
8mp cam with HD vid
2mp front facing cam
unlimited PORN useage
+ i don't see the hype i bought my nexus one for $300 now it's 120 or less
got a Amaze 4G for $500 and now HTC saying F the Amaze F U .. HTC BEST PHONE YOU EVER MADE
think about they make a new phone every 3-5 months unless your a drug dealer or a rich ahole why waste your money ? just get a decent phone and save up money cause 12-21-2012 is almost here ..... I rather be safe then sorry
sorry to bla bla bla bla on n on but WAKE UP AMERICA
Before you go and bash me saying we do one of these threads like every week I'm just asking an honest question. is it worth it to trade an amaze for a sensation or go to the sensation from the amaze because if development and support
The down side is less RAM slightly worse camera and no internal storage
But besides that speed wise they should be similar since they run the same chip.
Software is a huge part of the phone, and I don't want the one s because it doesn't have a removable battery and storage.
What should I do? I think me and my amaze have been together long enough
Damn noob... There's a Q&A Section.
Noooo it's a discussion thread
In my opinion Sensation is better than Amaze since it gets more software supports (official CM, yah), integrated SoC (seems to be more power efficient), and is slightly thinner.
Hey eclipze! I personally think that the trading to the sensation is a good decision unless your snagging some cash. But I personally have owned 3 sensations. And have had one at the same time as having an amaze. I compared my stock amaze side by side with my cm 9 sensation. And the speed, smoothness, and stability of my amaze was noticeably better than the sensation. So while having the support, I really don't think it out performs the amaze. I had a sensation when the amaze came out. I was honestly laughing at the amaze. It seemed like a terrible phone choice for tmobile to push because it was arguably the same specs as the amaze. I thought this for a long time. I then had an opportunity to get an amaze dirt cheap, I planned on just reselling (besides wanting to play with the camera). But once I played with it I immediately noticed a difference in performance. That aside... Out of probably 4 sensations that ever reached my hands, 3 had significant amounts of dust under the screen. This gradually increased overtime... So even if it didn't have dust to begin with, it happened eventually. Because I'm cheap... If I could find a sensation for around $150 and could sell this for over $250, I'd do it, and use the sensation until gsiii prices dropped. But unless you're getting money out of it I wouldn't find it worth it.

I think I'm having the same feelings as you. I have been thinking about switching to a different device that has more support and dev. Although, I haven't thought about the sensation. Personally, I wouldn't go to the sensation as an equal exchange. I would need cash on top since the amaze is an upgrade.
Although, I'm actually thinking about the sgs3 or the nexus. I found a s3 for 400 brand new, thinking about getting it right after this doctor's appointment.
EDIT: after some reading it seems that there are a lot of scams going on with people on CL and tmobile phones, specifically the sgs3. So maybe won't go down that route. :banghead:

I can personally care less. I don't like the Sensation as much. 14.4MB compared to 42MB. big difference for data. I originally bought my phone so I can tether it to my laptop and Xbox. I still do that. I'm happy with how the software is. I'm not a flashaholic so I really don't mind. Sure, it is slow around here. At least I made some friends around here and people know me.

No thanks to a sensation, that's clearly a downgrade. If you've used one, side by side with an amaze, you'll know.
why not get an s3? arent you over there making roms for it anyways? if youre going to get rid of your amaze, at least dont go backwards
I think right now.... No amaze ftw

I got an Amaze knowing its issues. The performance is ok and its size/weight is not as much an issue for me since it is tapered. The lack of wifi source this late is infuriating. The battery life is also mediocre at best. IMO the main problem with the amaze is the crappy HSPA+ modem that was first gen, a huge power hog, and made the phone bulky as well.
But I probably would not downgrade to the sensation despite better rom support and battery life. I'd rather just wait for the successor to the Amaze or the next google phone.

If you could, get an S3, way better than the Sensation & Amaze. Only thing I miss from HTC is Sense, but Samsung's new touchwiz isn't that bad.
Did you really just compare the s3 to an Amaze..... Do me a favor and run around with a pairbof scissors.

Had an S3. Sold it after a week. Love my Amaze.
Sure it has great ROM development but I'm sure it wasn't always like that. The amaze work have great development one we figure out data. Plus it's a downgrade in specs from the amaze. If anything I would say go with a more current phone like the s3 or the one series phones.

My phone broke and I've been away from this forum for a bit.
Pretending money is not an issue, which android phone would you get? (and of course that can be modded)
My service is T-mobile, but im ok with phones that can be unlocked.

So... You suggest it because it's cheap, but if you read the op he says assuming money isn't a factor so.. Your argument is void
And again I say gsiii depending on hand size and comfort... HTC one s isn't bad if you want something smaller (but it's not much smaller) gsiii is solid. And if you want something bigger note 2

Yeah, I thought the SGS3
My amaze 4G broke. Screen, but works fully.
I have to say I FUC*ING HATE IT AND WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY HTC AGAIN!!! .. btw, EVER.
Money being no object......Buy multiple Amaze's, root them and put Nitemare 1.6 on them and then sell the ones you dont need at a profit.
My Sensation was completely awesome, I bet you can get one for a good price. Too bad I broke it and had to get the Amaze.
The sensation is basically the Amaze except half as thick, lighter, better looking, better battery, better development, screen was great, and it was overall just awesome.
The Amaze is a huge downgrade, it's so glitchy, heavy, thick and ugly and the customization rom-wise is very weak.
If you can get the sensation for a good price I highly recommend it.
I think it was one of the revolutionary phones, and set the standard for other droids to date.
But that's just my opinion. If I had a choice I would have the Sensation right now over any phone, even the GS3.
Get an HTC One S! Or unlock and get a ONE X+

If money isn't an object he would only be wasting his time trying to buy and sell amazes because he'd have no need to increase his monetary funds smart ace

Money being no object, the Nexus 4 is the universal recommendation we can make (pentaband 3G like the Amaze). I'm assuming you're in the USA, so keep an eye next week when Verizon will reveal the Droid DNA, which looks like to be HTC's second superphone of 2012, after the One X series.

I'd say wait for the Nexus 4. The specs are great and it's a nexus device, hence you'll get awesome development and fast updates. And the price is unbelievable. I plan on switching to Nexus 4 myself.

Why not the HTC one x+ that should be an amazing phone and probably better than sgs3 and definitely a lot more beautiful. Although sgs3 is an amazing phone software and hardware wise to me it looks ugly and again feels cheap when I held it one x+ sports better specs and keeps in mind aesthetics along with premium quality just not sure why many people aren't suggesting it and suggesting an inferior device (sgs3) especially when price is not a factor and if it was nexus 4 would be the best choice so either way sgs3 is now more hype than anything now that there are better phones on the market

No removable battery, no memory expansion, 1gb ram. And... Tegra processor? Eh. I guess that's 'better'. The s4 chip can handle anything I've used it for quite smoothly, if I was going quad core I'd go with something s4 pro. Also some people prefer to have a settings button on the phone, I know I do. Plus all the red tape from HTC rgd development and such. Good development community over at the sgs iii. You asked, I answered I've not held the one x+ granted, I was not impressed with the feel of the one s. And considering the one x+ is almost the same dimensions as the gs iii I gotta say the feel of the gs iii grows on ya haha. But anyway just my opinion.
