Nice to have you aboard
Watch THIS if your new before you ask your question
And THIS is awesome.

The camera on the amaze was better. It ended there. My s2 is a lot faster than my amaze was. I think the screen is better on the s2( I am lucky that I don't have screen issues) and I prefer the feel of this phone better than the amaze. It was too heavy for my taste.

My complaints about the Amaze 4g is the weight and lack of sources for the devs. I hate sense and love great roms but without the wifi source, just to name one, its really hard to build kernels.

The amaze screen resolution is really nice but there's no WOW factor. Then comes the weight. Its so heavy!! HTC has just lost me as a customer. There's more complaints from me but Im too busy to list all

I watched this video last night, ive always prefered Samsung over HTC personally.. What screen honestly looks better? The Amaze has the higher resolution but the super amoled plus has to look awesome.
