HTC continues its winning streak of killer devices for T-Mobile with the amazing Amaze 4G. It is one of the fastest phones available from T-Mobile and includes one of the best cameras that Phone Scoop has tested.

The HTC Amaze 4G picks up where the Sensation 4G left off, with an even better display, faster wireless data speeds, and a more capable camera. Only those who want the zippiest, sharpiest, photographiest smartphone from T-Mobile need apply.
