I know someone willing to trade me an amaze for my sensation. Is it worth the trade or should I keep my phone?

both phones are basically the same in terms of specs. I would keep the Sensation, the dev community here is just awesome

I don't think there is nearly as much development for the Amaze. But check out their forums. See what they've got going on.
Remember, the guy who has the Amaze would rather have your Sensation instead.
The amaze has the extra 256mb of RAM, which is definitely better than having a swap partition or another solution for extra ram. Imo thats about it, and there isn't much development, but last I checjed there was a sense 4 rom

If you like flashing custom Roms and a great community, stick with the Sensation. The Amaze community on XDA leaves much to be desired. I had an Amaze for a bit, and every thread was constantly being locked by admins.
If you r gonna stick with stock Rom and not much playing, the Amaze is a good phone.

meh i prefer sensation
I'd do it. NFC, extra RAM, better processor. But yeah, less ROMs
Their consumer satisfaction rating is very very good too.

I love the design of the amaze but I guess ill just stick with my sensation. I looked at the dev and its not so good they don't even have jelly bean working yet. I love to tweak my phone and I don't think the amaze will get it done

I'd trade that guy my Tmo Sensation 4G Unlocked for that thing as long as it's AT&T. It only gets 2G Edge. Would he be interested?

Although the SGS2 is a fantastic device, it's not all that much better than the Sensation. The only real selling points it has over the Sensation is the SAMOLED+ display tech, the onboard storage, and the Exynos CPU. It's also thinner and lighter. The Sensation though, has a higher density screen so even though it's LCD, it's nicer to look at (IMO). The size/weight issue is a personal thing - I had the original SGS and thought it felt too cheap and light to be such expensive device. To me, the extra heft of the Sensation makes it feel a nicer device, but whatever.
If you were upgrading from an older device, it'd be a tough choice as it is. If I were you though, I'd stay with the Sensation because you just won't notice $530 (or even $250) worth of difference
EDIT: as a side note, I did upgrade to the Sensation from a similar device - the LG Optimus 2X. I had multiple issues with that device though, and the Sensation feels like a dream in comparison.
I've just had the SGS2 and got rid of it for the Sensation. I don't regret it. What I will say is this : whichever one you have you will want the other!! But I can tell you that the Sensation is worth keeping. Find a rom that you like and personalise & tweak it. Personally, I'm using xl DI GIT AL lx "digitalized" ics themed rom. Very quick.
The phone is more of a premium handset in other's eyes as well.

This person is right.
Why anyone would get a device that's about to get outdated really, really soon makes no sense to me.
Id stick with the Sensation as well. Once it has ICS, it will be on the same level as the Prime anyways. Not as good, but on the same level.

I was waiting for the SGS2 to come out as well but now that it is out I actually don't think it is any better than the Sensation. I went to tmobile store to try it out and found that my Sensation feels better because of Sense. The SGS2 was not thinner than the Sensation imo. it feels bulkier in my pocket. I'm glad i went with the sensation instead of waiting forever for the SGS2
I'd stick with the Sensation and just load ICS when it get's released.
why bother with the SGSII at this point? especially considering Tmous version uses the same Snapdragon processor?
if you really feel the need to upgrade just wait out a few more months for the newer phones in the pipeline... at the very least until Nov. for the Nexus.

I would definitely go with the SGSII... Well I did, it's the better phone hands down. Longer battery life, not laggy like sensation as far as stock goes, it's been out two weeks and it's already rooted ( like a week ago) it already has a couple of ROMs and the super AMOLED plus display is stunning. Personally I like having a light device, it may be plastic but I'm sure it has better chances of surviving a drop than the sensation. Now on the other hand the sensation has a great resolution, very sharp and lots of ROMs and devs behind it so if you're into ROMs and customizing and all that than it should be good too. But comparing both phone stock, no contest, the SGSII is the better phone.
people should stop comparing SGS2 stock with Sensation stock!
Sense ROMs will always be slower then stock Android.
Main point of HTC phones are Sense. If you dislike Sense then SGS2 is the way to go.
I would also stich with sensation
Go to a shop and take a SGS2 and turn it on. Take your sensation and turn it on. Place the two displays in front of you.
At this point you will just have noticed the low res of the sgs2 and the blueish display of the samsung, and you will turn it off and return to the shelf.
Problem solved.
so im finally making the switch to a duel core phone, and decided to go with the HTC amaze 4g. i like samsung but there phones seem so flimsy to me, touchwiz is awful and m experience with the galaxy s was a weird one. anyways...i was just wondering if any of our favorite devs are moving/planning on moving or deving on the amaze. I have loved the development on this phone and have grown fond of the work of certain devs, (faux123, team royal, and TDJ). after seeing that tdj moved to the SGS2, it almost made me want to throw my amaze on craigslist, although i saw Faux wich made me happy ha. anyways i hope i see development on that phone as good as the mt4g was/has been.

Faux123 has an amaze but there is no s-off so no roms for s-on devices. Tdj and royalknight aka darkside dev team went to the sgs2. Your best bet is the amaze if you don't mind waiting for s-off

Not true. For the amaze you don't need s-off. All you need is an unlocked bootloader. I bought my girl the amaze because her mt4g broke. Unfortunately it came s-on (some people will be lucky enough and have s-off already when when receiving their amaze) so the same week I bought her the phone, I unlocked the bootloader. Its almost the same as s-off. I was able to grant her permroot and she can even flash custom roms and kernels. I already debloated her amaze and added a custom battery, tether and have setcpu running on it to get better battery life.
At this moment I'm researching on which custom rom is best for her so I can flash.
So if you lurk the amaze forum you'll see they have a few selection on custom roms, kernels and mods.

where'd you buy yours and how much? Just wondering cause I don't think phones are worth half a grand.
Just got the amaze today.basically a larger mytouch4g.Although it has a higher screen resolution,there isn't that great a difference from the mytouch.the camera is better no doubt.actually,its quite good for a camera.build is solid,yet remains light to the touch.
Sense 3.0 is so much smoother than any sense rom.
its abeautiful phone.
Recently got and unlocked a Sammy infuse.it has a nice Tom selection,which are high quality roms (Zeus) thanks dman,my daughter loves it.
I thought I'd prefer the amaze,but provably should have tried the sgs2.
Amaze is very good though!
Edit:yeah,that extra tenth of an inch on the Samsung phones makes a difference.atleast with the Zeus rom ,the infuse is kickass and so much smoother than any mytouch rom. Yet I made my choice.
Not dissatisfied,but miss that butter from the Sammy.

actually i just made the switch from the Amaze to the Sensation, overall i love the sensation way more, the amaze has some minor hardware issues...
capacitive button bleed effect, camera flash bleed effect with dark pics, no s-off yet which means there is hardly any major development
i traded the amaze for a sensation plus $150 so it was not just for the above issues but also for the money, yes the amaze does look and feel better, but hardware specs are negligible due to rom tweaks and hardware acceleration
the only thing i miss with the amaze honestly is the battery life, and that's about it... lol
Girlfriend has an amaze, I have the sensation. Hands down I would go with the sensation.
Other than the camera the sensation is better in almost every way. Also there is no s-off on the amaze. You have to use HTC dev and kernels and radios are a pain to flash. Development is slow with the amaze also. Xboarder isnt there anymore and he was the driving force behind the amaze.
If the amaze was s-off and had some development it would be slightly better.

Get the GS3. Sure, there's a lot not to like about it, but there's a lot going for it at the same time. When people complain about the screen, its not because its bad, its just because its not as good as the HOX. It's still probably better than the Sensations (even with pentile it has higher density than Sensation). Also, both the exynos and s4 are blazing, and I can guarantee the GS3 will be much faster and smoother than HOX (even though HOX can also have S4, Samsung makes snappier phones period). The multitasking is the best I've seen, and the camera is top notch too. It's overall a phone that would keep you happy well into next year.

Add a poll to this thread. It will make your decision easier.
I was also thinking about this before, the amaze has a better camera, 1GB RAM, and 16 GB internal memory. The only reason I kept my sensation is the bigger community and developer support. The amaze still has great support but the sensation's community is just bigger. If the 3 things above is enough of a reason for you to upgrade and don't mind having a wide variety of ROMs, go for it.
apperently the amaze also has deathgrip problems.
it has light leaking problems which isnt a big deal if you dont mind turning off the capacitive button light
but the worst of it all is that it has a terrible community
just go over to the amaze subforum and see what im talking about..
however, the benefits: bit more ram, wide-angle camera lens, bit louder loudspeaker.. i think thats it really..
I had that choice , I choose sensation. Glad I did because this community is awesome! Besides I love my sensation! Good luck in whatever your decision !
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
I would say go with the amaze if the community was like this but seeing how its not just makes the phone suck. After all you can have the best phone ever but if it doesn't have a lot of support what's the point unless your a experienced developer.
