Phone update
I have had phone almost since it came out.
I bought it cause I wanted a phone with a large screen, the screen is the best feature, it was a little buggy some things like the wifi hot did not work and that is why I bought this phone cause I have a laptop, the camera would close the phone would restart, it did not have a good signal.
I went to the tmobile store and they gave me a new sim card and it seemed to have a better 4g signal bit still buggy,
Since I did the software update to ICS android it seems to have fixed most of the phones issues, except it seems that it still does not have a great 4g signal, and it seems to use the battery even faster, so I go into the settings and switch to 2g and battery last all day,
I think the problem ...

If you get into the task manager and shut off all running programs in the back ground, that helps alot. Sometimes, I turn the mobile network offf, under additional settings, and the GPS and the battery lasts a whole lot more

NFC Capability
I love the NFC function on the Amaze. I am using the NXP Tag Writer App and the NFC Task Launcher App along with tags from
http://www.buynfctags.com » .
They have a variety of stickers, key chains, cards, etc.
I have tags where I can just tap it and it will open up Facebook, turn on my alarms, and turn on/off my wi-fi. I also have tags that just store my contact information so I can give to other people.

camera / phone issues??
I was using the camera the other day and went to take a pic and touched the screen and it went from the camera app to the home screen?
it did this twice and not since.
I am trying to like this phone but it seems buggy.
I tapped on the home screen and it shut off?
I tapped on the home screen the screen it was black then realized it seemed off so I touched the power button and it came on?
Anyone else out their have this phone have any problems?

WiFi Hotspot
I bought this phone cause mainly it has a larger screen better screen than my old phone.
A mytouch4g, also as luck has it the specs are also supposed to be better, faster dual core processor, better camera, more memory

form
I see it seems like I am the only one out their with an amaze, and I don't want to seem like I am bashing the phone but the more you use a product the more you find how it works and feels.
ok that said the the form the size is not to bad a little larger than my last phone a mytouch, but it has a bigger screen, what I wanted, But the metal plastic case is kind of slippery in your hand and a little hard to hold onto and may be easy to drop. my mytouch had a kind of rubberized outer edge that made it easy to hold onto.
The buttons, well the only ones that are good are the camera and video buttons they are in a good location on the phone and they work like they are supposed to.
The power button and the volume buttons, well maybe these button...

WCDMA bands
Does this T-Mo phone really have the 850 and 1900 MHz WCDMA bands as the specs here indicate? I see different specs depending where I look, even on the T-Mo web sites. The following link, for instance even adds the 900 MHz band:

On the other hand,the following link

only shows the usual T-Mo UMTS bands I & IV. So what is it really?

Wifi Calling is on board
In fact the Amaze uses the same "special sim" as the Galaxy S II to achieve a newer, smoother wifi calling experience, so you must use the SIM in the retail box if you want wifi calling.
(Apparently most live demos and review units are using a standard 4G sim though, which seems odd.)

IMS-based Wi-Fi Calling is coming soon. To use this feature on their HTC Amaze 4G, customers will need to use the new SIM card that comes with the phone.
