Question [Q] Which one?

Well, right now I have the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G.... My wife and I went into a T-Mobile store today and they informed us of a new plan they had that would save us about $100 a month. So, me, being the person I am, asks if the new plan will mess up my upgrade for my phone.... And lucky me.... Instead of waiting another 8 months for an upgrade, the new plan will actually allow me to upgrade then

So, long story not so short...

I am debating between the Samsung Galaxy S2, OR the HTC Amaze.... I was just curious as to why, if you already own the Amaze, you would or would not suggest it to someone? Thanks for any input in advance!

It's an all around badass phone. GSII is plastic TW crap.

I'm probably trolling you.

Realistically, is the Amaze a lot more durable? Also, I have read quite a bit about something called, 'Screen Bleed'... Do you have a problem with that at all?

It is way more sturdy than any Samsung device. There is a thread about screen bleed .

Yeah. I read the thread on the screen bleed.. I was just seeing if you had personally had an issue with it....

And what are other small things that you like about the phone?

In my opinion the screen bleed issue is blown out of proportion. There is some screen bleed but it is only noticeable on a dark screen. For watching movies which may have dark scenes I use mVideoPlayer which turns off the backlit buttons. It has never been an issue for me.
Phone: HTC Amaze 4G (S-On)
ROM: Stock Telus ICS (Rooted)
Recovery: 4EXT
Headpones: B&W C5, Sol Republic Amps HD, Shure SRH840

I don't think it would be a big ESL for me too... I have never had a phone with buttons like that, but i hardly ever have the screen at full brightness either... am I right to imagine when you dim the backlight it also dims the menu keys? If not, I still don't think it will be that big of a problem
