HTC Amaze 4G (black, T-Mobile)

Pros: Nice feel in hand, sturdy design. Screen is large, sharp, and clear especially indoors. Packed with features.

Cons: Poor battery life.
Camera button unlocks phone in my pocket.
Phone lags
Power button captures screen shot when trying to turn off phone.
At times, phone will not allow me to unlock when a call is coming in.

Summary: While the phone has nice specs, it just simply under performs. For starters the battery is terrible and usually about 30% by 2pm. I have to keep it on a charger during the day. Funny thing is, I don't really use the phone that much. The screen sucks up a lot of juice so a simple phone call can take about 10% of the life. The phone also gets warm to touch when used. One of the reasons I bought this phone as because it had a quick button to toggle the camera. But the design is poor and it unlocks the phone in my pocket all the time. I end up with tons of photos and videos of my pocket. There is also of lot of screen lag. For the most part it goes unnoticed like if you're playing with it in a store. But using the phone day in and day out, the phone is sluggish. The sluggishness creates some odd and random results such as taking screen shots, or popping up the screen select UI. Overall I would say I am only moderately satisfied with the phone. Not so bad that I want to chunk it across the room, but enough that if I were to do it all over again, I would get a different phone. By the way, I have been using smart phones for almost a decade and had a couple of the older windows mobile phones back in the day and then switched to iPhone for a couple of years before landing on this one. I feel that I am better than average at assessing the phone abilities.
