Is the amaze still worth it?

Hey all, my girlfriend has a TMobile MTGS 4G slide and complains that it's too heavy and bulky. She hardly uses the physical keyboard and wants a new phone.

I was just wondering if getting her a HTC Amaze would still be worth it since it's EOL already and probably won't see much more updates from TMobile or HTC. If not, what new phones would you recommend? I don't like the HTC One S because there is no SD card slot or a removable battery.

Your thoughts?

It's as worth it right now as it will ever be, development is booming like never before since S-OFF and the ICS leak, but if your girlfriend is complaining about bulkiness and heaviness then you may want to look into another phone because the Amaze is not so thin and weighs almost as much as the myTouch 4G Slide

The Amaze is still solid, BUT is also heavy (and even heavier with a case obviously). So have her try it. The One S is SUPER lightweight, and she probably doesn't need more than 16 gb (sorry for sexist generalization, but it's 90% accurate) of storage. It's a lot more sleek and thin... WAY more attractive for women imo. Shed love it.

If you're on a budget though, she would prolly prefer the sgs2 or galaxy nexus because of the weight difference

if sexist its towards guys since they have to have all their porn on their sd-card. thats why its a "deal killer" for most people ;) hahaha

Lol, I wonder if any girls out there agree with your assessments?

Well, she's tried my phone out and likes it more than her mytouch. But I guess I'll have her try out the One S at the store to see if she likes it then. Any other phones on the horizon? HTC and their EOLing of phones 6 months later had me a little concerned that they're going to do the same thing to the One S.

If you could wait it out for a bit, it may be worthwhile to wait for the Galaxy S3

@peartfan40, sorry didn't know there was a Q&A thread under the general discussions forum. I looked for one under the Amaze forum and didn't find one.

Anyways, the SGS3 any idea when that will be coming out?

Amaze is the best phone in T-mobile..
+2 hands down Samsung makes trash. And cheese wiz or whatever they put on it is trash also. Worst build quality of all the manufacturers. HTC=best build. If It's to heavy then maybe you should have someone carry it for you. I love it all these phones no matter how big are what a few ounces and people say there to heavy how weak are people?

I would have to agree with hd2joel. Tried Samsung and it has one of the worst quality on the market. Even my friend at Samsung advised me to stay away as many methods of cutting corners occurred in the development and manufacture. Happily back to HTC.

Here's my 2....The One S just released and the One series HTC said they are planning on offering on many providers with little to no variations. This means that in time all of the devices (X, S, V) should (in theory) have a very strong development base. The SGS3 gets released internationally soon that means Tmobile won't see it til the end of 3rd/beginning of 4th quarter this year. It's also been talked about them dropping the Exynos processor for the American versions. Honestly I rocked a Vibrant for a long time but would steer clear of any and all Samsung devices. The Amaze is a solid device though but it's already dated. No reason in starting out behind.
