TELUS HTC Amaze 4G officially “coming soon”
A few weeks ago we let you know that the HTC Amaze (also known as the Ruby) was going to be available on TELUS. Today the device has very quietly arrived on the carriers site and given the familiar “Coming Soon”. No word on the launch date or price points, but yet another Android will be added to their lineup. As for specs of this Gingerbread smartphone, 4.3-inch qHD Super LCD display with a resolution of 960 x 540, HTC Sense 3.0, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera that shoots HD videos, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Wi-Fi and their second dual-carrier HSPA+ device that reaches peak download speeds of 42Mbps (the other is the Samsung Galaxy S II X).
We’ll have more info on this shortly… solid device lineup coming from TELUS these days!

Finally a new, and good, HTC phone for Telus! This will be my next phone and I can finally retire my w***e of a phone that is the BB 8330.

Don’t worry. I feel your pain. I have a BB 8330 also. My contract with Telus expired back in June. My phone is slow and freezes every once in a while (I’m sure you know what I mean). I will be soo glad to throw this phone out the door. Now just debating on 3 phones, Ruby, Hercules or Nexus Prime. Can’t wait for my first Android phone…

Apple disappoints; HTC delivers.
Keep in mind that HTC Amaze 4G has 1.5GHZ dual core (iP4 S is mere 1.0GHZ), NFC, 2MP front facing camera (iP4+ only has VGA), with a peak download speed 3x that of iPhone 4S.
Apple should seriously stop copying and starts innovating. Siri, who will Apple sue next?

How do you know that the iPhone 4S is 1GHz? No number has been announced yet.
When the iPhone 4 came out, everybody was telling it had a 1 GHz CPU while it ended up with a 800 MHZ CPU.

So this will be quad band as well? I.e. support AWS? I see it on GSM Arena.

On Telus it only lists the GSM bands, but on the T-Mobile site it lists the same as gsmarena. Hopefully its the same as the T-Mobile version. But I want the dark blue version instead of the white one.

Supposedly the atrix is an hspa+ phone capable of 14.4bps but the best I get on the bellus network in markham is 6mbps. Does anyone actually get more than 7mbps download on an hspa+ phone?

Yes, solid lineup from Telus. If only they’d expand their coverage in Manitoba.

Telus has their own 4G towers covering Winnipeg, but outside of Winnipeg is up to the MTS.

Hmmm, interesting. I have been waiting for the Nexus Prime, but the specs on the Ruby/Amaze aren’t too shabby and I’m a huge HTC fan.

That Sense3.0 is sure a drag on HTC’s phones. Wonder when they’ll get tired of Sammy’s GalaxySII eating their lunch.

Telus is really smart to get some “superphones” like the Galaxy S II X and now the Amaze. The pre-4G peak speeds of 42 Mbit/s (average 7 to 12) are also crucial because Telus lacks the almost-4G basic LTE that Rogers and Bell have.
Aside: the original ITU definition says LTE Advanced (not Basic) at 1 Gbit/s peak is true 4G.
All that being said, which would you rather buy? One of the 42 Mbit/s peak dual HSPA+ Androids at a lower cost, or one of the 75 Mbit/s devices at a higher cost? Personally, LTE costs too much for me to justify the extra spending.

Way to be a negative Nancy there Todd… I’ve used the GS2X and yes the resolution isn’t as nice as the GS2, its still damn nice. Also the build quality is superior to the GS2. Lighten up man, you’re so angry!

Wow, 3 new Android phones announcement within a months time, 2 of them dual-core 1.5Ghz units (HTC Ruby and Samsung S II X), the other being the still respectable Sony Xperia Ray single-core 1Ghz Snapdragon S3 processor. Other than the next Nexus phone by Samsung, can’t really see what else could top these units, spec wise. But it would be interesting to see what else is available during the holiday shopping season!

This is great news! I’m a big fan of Sense, love a phone with weight and a solid build. Surprised the Amaze is coming with 3.0 and not 3.5 like the Runnymede though updates come (fast on xda)
this has the features to keep it on the top of my new phone list.
Can’t wait!

So it basically comes down to 4.5′ WVGA or 4.3′ qHD? HTC please! Now it’s just a waiting game ’til they sell it for free at best buy maybe around December time. A better christmas gift for a Jewish Atheist such as myself I could not think of haha.

Exynos is the best chip overall in this generation of Android phones. There are limited areas where TI or Tegra or SnapDragon will surge ahread, but overall, my hat tips to Samsung for the Exynos.
HTC is doing a great job and happy that their revenues have jumped again!
