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.
Shame the amaze is end of the line I actually want to go back to it. The galaxy s 2 with ICS is nice, but for me I really enjoyed messing with the amazes camera and thought sense was really cool.

i think once the price drops more development will pick up. personally i would never pay $400 for this phone, especially not now lol. gsii with ics sounds nice
The Black Amaze is not EOL. Only the white version is. I personally would choose this device over the ONE S anyday.

It is nice even tho its a leak for the at&t skyrocket the awesome devs have got it working pretty perfectly for the T-Mobile s2. Ics just has subtle changes that really polish the way android works and steps performance up real well. I really like sense tho I use to have the sensation then the amaze, ended up selling the amaze but wish I would have kept it n just sold the s2 instead.

A, I like that its not made by samsung or htc and ....well the obvious its made by Asus.... Hopefully it doesn't become the phailphone....
Unless I sell this I'm going to wait for s-off and ics.
Once ics comes to the amaze, its gonna make or break this phone, sorry to say.

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.
So I just saw this:

It does not, the ics available for the t989 is from a leak from the skyrocket. Due to that there was issues with rotation which were fixed but there is still missing features like wifi calling, and a kernel to develop cm9 etc from that.

Not date yet. We'll let you know if we learn more.
I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. I have a feeling T-Mobile is holding off on the update so the One S can have the spotlight for another month. They probably figured that people would buy it since Ice Cream Sandwich is a big selling point.

These two tie in together. HTC wants to nail down an update schedule that the One S will have ICS for a while, gathering in sales, while the other phones will have to wait. Also, T-Mobile stores list our phone as 1.5 ghz dual-core, they don't really specify that it's produced by Snapdragon or that it is an S3. Clearly, it would look bad that the One S and the Amaze have the same specs in a simpler manner, without going into specifics.
Some of you folks act like your phone is broke or completely ancient because it isn't rocking the current OS.
There is a leak for ICS, so what is the problem? If you want it so bad, download it and be on your merrily happy way. If not, go spend monies you probably don't have on a device that runs on it. Complaining over and over on something you can't control is beyond rhetorical.
Not like T-Mobile has ever been fast with the updates. This is nothing new......be glad if it comes out in June.

I agree just look around your own family. How many of them just want something pretty that's makes calls not everyone cares about all the bells and whistles.

My Amaze (bought in December) has multiple issues that have not been resolved on three separate handsets, and half a dozen factory resets. I'm not "whining" about not getting ICS sooner, I'm whining about not getting FIXES after way too long a wait.
The last word I've heard was, "we're working on a fix," "HTC is aware of the problem," while I continue to wait, and wait, and wait. Like the poor refugees in CASABLANCA
I'm willing to wait longer for solid fixes, and (crosses fingers) a replacement of Sense 3.0 with the much-improved 4.0. Frankly, I've gotten tired of factory resets and handset replacements that flush my progress and scores from games that I've paid for. It's not a requirement that my games are intact on a phone, but jeez, it got old after 12 weeks of ownership of this top-tier phone to be told, "don't install any apps, just use the phone as shipped."
I just feel that I've been made to wait through serial postponements while HTC and T-Mobile trumpet a newer, slightly better line of phones. Clearly, people who've already bought an HTC don't get as much respect or thought than the new customers out there. S'okay, if the ICS update arrives and doesn't fix the problems, I'll know what to do. Root, flash, or flip and get another brand. T'is a pity that modern manufacturers would rather disappoint their established customers while trying to attract new customers. It's a model that has destroyed many companies in the past.

ICS leak is NOT running so well....
My radio signals are fluctuating ..... woke up yesterday and my service said 4g with full bars.... but all the apps I tried to run specially facebook told me theres a network connection error.....
my wifi doesn't work.....
Development has pretty much come to a stop. There is no AOSP, sense 4.0 still isnt flawless and other phones are getting further and further ahead.
Jelly Bean and iOS6 are coming out and maybe i should get a new phone.
I have always been a huge android fan despite having a macbook and ipad and I dont think i should get an iphone, right?
Should I get a gnex? Galaxy SIII? What do you guys think?
Thanks!
Get a GNex. My GS3 and Rezound are going on Craigslist and I'm getting one too. Stupid f*cking locked bootloader on the GS3.

Do you think google is gonna release a new nexus soon? Should I wait?
I'd like to think they will release one end of this year or early next year... I'll definitely be buying the next one even if it is isn't flagship material.
Is the rezound pretty much dead? I've tried everything possible and I just cant get a smooth, fast feeling. Any ROM suggestions?
I'm going to wait and see what this "Eris" I've heard so much about does with the Rezound before deciding whether to stay aboard or jump ship. If he does something great and the source happens to come out soon enough, I'm definitely staying. If something happens and the source doesn't come out or his progress hits a huge snag where he quits, I'm probably going to pack my bags and look into going back to Sprint.
Their service really does suck in my area, but at least their price was a lot better. If I do jump ship and get an Evo 4G LTE, I would be interested in it if only to run FreshROM again, just like on my OG Evo. Plus, I sort of miss the small things about the Evo family, like CWM, FreshROM, etc. I know Sprint is finally switching to LTE, and if I had to go back, I would be willing to tough it out with bad signal just a while longer, since it looks like Sprint is actually serious about LTE over WiMAX this time.

Do you think the nex is better than the rezound? Yeah its awesome that theyre getting jellybean really soon, but i really like sense and there hardware is pretty much the same
i think any high end android phone is better than the iphone, right?
I've really been considering moving to the nexus since I'm not eligible for my upgrade yet and I can get a used one pretty cheap but I'm still undecided.
The rezound was my first HTC phone and I really love how well built it is compared to Samsung phones but I've had so many problems with it. Plus, with Verizon taking so long to push out updates and practically killing development, it makes the nexus slightly more enticing.
What do you guys think? Should I stick it out with this phone a little bit longer and just hope that the development gets a little better again soon or is it best to just move on now?
Can we at least wait until the end of the month before everyone flips their stuff? We're supposed to get ICS officially this month, and shortly after that HTC should release the ICS kernel source on the HTCDev website. All we need is our fantastic developers to get the RIL working and we'll hopefully be swimming in CM#/AOKP by the end of the year.

Where have I heard this song before? I'm done with HTC because of their lack of support for this phone. Verizon too. I've really been disappointed with this phone when Verizon did such a big effort to say how awesome and revolutionary it was.
I'm not holding my breath for it. I see it this way.. Why would they update the OS on these phones when they can just sell us a newer model that matches these phones exactly BUT has a newer OS.. Apple has done it for years.. why not HTC?
I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way, but ICS being released has no effect on my purchasing a new phone. It would be freakin awesome if tomorrow ICS was out, but if I wanted to upgrade, ICS wouldn't sway me back into keeping the Thunderbolt. I don't want a new phone because I don't want to buy it full price or eBay or Craigslist or whatever. And I don't want to lose my unlimited data. Soooo.....I'm sticking with the Thunderbolt for now. When I do decide to upgrade and buy a new phone, having ICS, Jelly Bean, Key Lime Pie, etc. on the Thunderbolt won't matter to me. So for now, I hope ICS comes out really soon. I'm tired of flashing the same ROMs over and over.

Agreed. They could come out with Jelly Bean for the TB, but it doesn't change the fact that the hardware and look are outdated.
It's buisness. They are not in a rush to release it whether it is ready or not. There are a list of priorities and knowing Verizon customer service has always been on the low end. So considering giving the thunderbolt ics would simply be providing customers with a generous update, my guess is that it is low on the list of priorities. People shouldn't knock HTC. Their products are good quality and are actually outstanding in some aspects (minus the battery life). Verizon is the issue here and Google did the right thing in not giving them the nexus 4. LTE is more or less a scam as far as what a phone can actually render. HSPA+ is plenty. I'm with Google on this one. Verizon and their gouging for money and lack of customer service leads to my decision that I'm better off on my own no contract just Google and a sim card.
HTC really dropped the ball with ICS for the thunderbolt. Do rectify the situation they should offer discounted new phones to Thunderbolt owners. The phone was just absolutely terrible...
I will end my Verizon contract and go back to Tmobile in the summer. Sick of this terrible lack of support.

I saw a thread somewhere that Verizon WAS giving out new phones for Thunderbolts. Maybe if you flash it to stock and complain about reboots etc which they can't prove out. Personally, I'm still relatively happy with the community for providing awesome ROMs, though it would be nice if they had good source to work from.
They was giving out other phones awhile back because they had no cln bolts as replacement. They don't do that now unless you have replaced like 5 to 7 bolts in a period of time.

Thats manufacture dependent, samsung isn't the best one to update their phones,
HTC isn't neither that good, i don't think non of them are good in the "update" industry.
due to the age of this device i would say yes on android 4.2. however when is another question due to HTC not giving any good information (neither does any company)
4.2 blows. When I got it on my nexus 7 I immediately went through a huge process to downgrade back to 4.1. What features of 4.2 do you want that can't be done on 4.1? Multiple users? Doing that on the n7 made the entire device lag so horribly

What was so bad about 4.2 exactly? First I've heard about this (I've mainly heard good things about 4.2).

There are quite a few issues that Google needs to fix before I let 4.2 on my phone

yeah just go on the N7 forums and read everybody complaining about it.
stock AOSP blew because the lockscreen sucked. the new font with the randomly bolded hour is the ugliest thing google has ever done. on top of that, every time you powered the screen on, the sides would flash to remind you that you can add widgets...so everytime you turned it on it lookedl ike it was in edit mode or something.
besides that, multi user control was stupid and lagged the device out badly..multiple reports of this, and once people deleted the second account, it was fine.
terrible battery life, longer time to charge, random reboots..
on top of that, the pulldonw on the tablets was awful because left side was notifications, and right side was quick settings..but many of us are right handed, and use our right thumbs for dropdown, so doing the dropdown would always bring down quicksettings. very annoying. on a phone it wasn't an issue though,s ince you needed two fingers to drop down quick settings.
besides that though, people were just complaining of random lag and bugs..apparently 4.2 on that thing was a complete f-up. and they still never fixed the scrolling bounceback issue..ridiculous!
Also if you have any apps that toggle airplane for you, you can say goodbye to that in 4.2
Ok!
I was just wondering because I bought the phone with good hopes for it. I don't want to invest in a phone that will not receive any future support.

Wanted to tip you over into 1700 on the meter. Oh well, one shy.
Thanks for the tip about not rushing to update when available.
Yeah guys, I'm saying we had some pretty bad experiences on the n7...hopefully it's different but don't hold your breath. This phone runs amazing, what more do you want out of it right now? I say wait until key lime pie for the next big upgrade.

the best thing for the OP to do is return the phone.

Don't worry, enjoy the phone. HTC isnt going anywhere & updates will come, just when, no one knows...
Return the phone? DAMN all that I asked for was of this phone was going to be supported.
Stop jumping to conclusions peeps

YOU said that if YOUR phone doesn't get updates YOU might as well return it. No one jumped to conclusions, they just read the op.
