Aaron unboxes the HTC Amaze 4G, T-Mobile's newest Android superphone. Coming on October 12th, it offers a dual-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S3 processor, 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording capabilities, and Android 2.3.4 with HTC Sense 3.0. It'll retail for $259.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate.

The build quality is astounding, HTC says it's the best camera on a mobile phone to date, and HSPA+ 42 Mbps should be nice and fast. Is it worth getting, or should you wait for the Nexus Prime and the other hot holiday devices? We'll find out.

Raven LotzThe two most powerful phones out right now are the Samsung SG2 and Motorola Droid Bionic. Atleast until the Droid Prime/Nexus Prime and HTC Vigor is released. Also Android phones :Pfrom 2011
Chad RichterDidn't this already come out 3 times now? fucking Android.. So tired of the 300 phones a month coming out that have no real difference than the 300 the previous month. pretty soon they're going to run out of catchy nouns and verbs to call them.from 2011
Joshua MuñozI like turtles! from 2011
Robert SimmonsI love my sensation however that looks more peppy. I am sure the higher ram helps. from 2011
Adrian Salazar Jr.Probably will be my next phone, was waiting on the nexus prime but since it will be exclusive on verizon I'm going to get the amaze 4g. Would get the galaxy s 2 but samsung has a habit of not updating their phones so....from 2011
Mike WestLooks excellent but not too sure about the protruding screen. I guess a case would fix that. from 2011
Marco WantyatobeyoungflyandsavedNot really, the HTC sensation XL looks cooler to mefrom 2011
John ZanattaI think I will stick with my modded Sensation. Why would I need to burn through my 5gb data cap than I already do? Plus, I bet my Sensation runs more smooth...from 2011
