Look familiar?

The HTC Amaze 4G for T-Mobile highly resembles the HTC Sensation 4G in specs and build, but there are some differences. This looker is one of the first two phones to run on T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42 network, which theoretically supports 42Mbps down.

In addition, it has a 4.3-inch qHD super LCD display and a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor, and runs Android Gingerbread 2.3.4.

Camera power

The Amaze 4G's camera prowess is another selling point. The 8-megapixel shooter has displaced the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G Slide as "the most advanced camera phone" with two new features. One takes five photos in quick succession and weaves the best parts together. The other gathers your technically best photos into a separate album.
