Point and Shoot and Text: HTC T-Mobile Amaze 4G Review
31.12.69

HTC and T-Mobile have a history of teaming up on heavily customized Android smartphones seemingly informed by what T-Mo brass thinks its particular customers want from a phone. The myTouch lineup is, in a way, the anti-Droid. myTouches are full of rounded, colorful fonts, soft edges, and fun features where Droids are cold, angular, robotic assistants built to blow you away with their power to get things done. I mean, myTouch has Carly while Droids are hawked by a faceless guy with a foreboding voice. Comparisons aside, myTouch phones have long been the ones prominently featured in T-Mobile ad campaigns (or at least they have since the Sidekick’s heydays came and went).
Once in awhile, however, Magenta will pick up a more standardized HTC device. When they do, it’s sort of interesting to see how it compares to its myTouch counterparts, both in terms of specs and special features. The newly minuted Amaze 4G is an HTC Sense phone, and not a myTouch device. Still, it now sits atop the carrier’s lineup, commanding a hefty $259.99 on contract/after rebate asking price ($559.99 contract free) – a full $60 more than the myTouch 4G Slide it shares some key features – and a manufacturer – with.
