Now it may be the rampant HTC fanboy side of me, but i gotta say hold on here, why does having ICS make the GSII a better phone?

Inside their specs are almost identical, and to some the SAMOLED pentile screen (which IMO is a bit oversaturated and overrated) looks like crap.

Batterywise: what kind of battery is the GSII packing? either way battery life depends on how hard you hammer the phone, I keep my Amaze clocked down to about 1Ghz and i get pretty awesome battery life on it, upwards of 14 hours
Player 1:
NOKIA Lumia 920:Stock with all the AT&T crap removed
Player 2:
HTC Amaze: Stock ICS with all T-Mobile shenanigans removed
Player 3:
HTC Inspire: I forget :P
Bench:
HTC Radar: HD2O Dynamics7 v1.21 Full Unlock with HSPL 2.05

Im supposed to get my amaze delivered today. Hope so. Ive had my gs2 for about a week. Its a very good phone. Takes a while to get used to the big screen. (Coming from g2x). I cant yet compare it to the amaze, but like i said, its avgreat phone. Battery is ok, not great. Blazing fast. ( same hardware as amaze). Ics is ok but not quit there yet. Im running juggernaut 5.0 gb and it works great. As of now it has much more dev support. Do what you like, but i say, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

I actually received via ups. It had horrible screen bleed and froze everytime I tried to access accounts and sync. I didn't even install anything on it yet. Bummed. They are sending me another one.

And them sending you another one won't did the screen bleed, 99% of us have it...
I just turn it off when watching a movie or playing a game with lots of blacks.

As for which is better, its all personal preference. I prefer HTC someone else might prefer Samsung.
My friend at school as the SGII and also agree that the colors are over saturated, it just looks funny.

I have my amaze underclocked to 1.2ghz and I get around 14hrs of use. If I'm not playing games. And still no lag whatsoever.
