The HTC Amaze 4G was only announced a few days ago and slated for an October 12^th release date, but it looks like the phone has already started arriving in stores. The folks over at TmoNews recently got their hands on some photographs showing the phone in its full glory, together with its retail packaging. No videos of the phone in action yet, but I’m pretty sure those will surface soon enough.

The HTC Amaze 4G is one beast of a phone, packing a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, a 4.3″ qHD display, NFC, Android 2.3.4, HSPA+ 42 connectivity, 8-megapixel camera and more. The phone will go on sale for $259.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a 2-year contract. Head over to the source link to check out more photographs of the device. Anybody picking this up when it goes on sale?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.

HSPA+ is also known as Evolved High-Speed Packet Access. It is a mobile broadband protocol that was defined by the 3GPP standard, release 7. In Theory, the HSPA+ data rate can go up to 84 Mbps (Megabits per second) downstream (to the mobile), and 22Mbps upstream (back to the tower). These numbers are achieved by using multiple streams, so they should be considered theoretical and peak performance numbers. The HSPA+ specifications support up to 168Mbps of theoretical peak rate. Although many HSPA+ carriers call it 4G, it is very different from 4G LTE.
