HTC Amaze 4G 16GB Unlocked Phones


HTC Amaze 4G 16GB - Gingerbread Android With HTC Sense - Unlocked GSM - 8MP

Pros:

  • + Great, high resolution 4.3" screen for crisper text and graphics, at this time only the Verizon Rezound variant of this phone has a better resolution (even better than iPhone 4S, I'm told)
  • + 1.5Ghz dual-core Snapdragon processor
  • + Solid construction and build quality that is immediately evident out of the box
  • + Expandable memory to suit your usage and needs, in addition to the ~9GB of internal storage available to   the user.
  • + Dedicated buttons for camera and videocam
  • + T-Mobile now offers WiFi calling (December update)
  • + HTC Sense, great launcher, some cool widgets, and not much cruft-ware bloating the phone
  • + Can I mention again how NICE this phone looks and feels in your hand?

Minuses:

  • - Battery life, you'll need to charge nightly unless you conserve aggressively
  • - Heavier than comparable phones, due partly to that great build quality
  • - Pricey, lots more than a Samsung Galaxy S II 4G Android Phone (T-Mobile) or other comparable models
  • - It is missing some things you'll end up buying -- plan to spend another fifty dollars on a car charger, a microSDHC memory card which some apps need, maybe another charging cable, wired earbuds or Bluetooth headset ... so plan on total cost of ownership (initial) to be a bit higher (one star off for that)
  • - No dedicated button for menu/apps, or for making/ending call; these can be provided by QuickDesk Pro and Headset Button Config apps in the Android Market
  • - Not a lot of cases available yet (Christmas, 2011 time frame)
