T-Mobile is now rolling out a significant update for the HTC Amaze 4G. The update will allow users of the Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread phone to utilize T-Mobile’s WiFi calling services. T-Mobile had previously said in an internal email that this feature would be here by November 13. That obviously did not happen, but better late than never, right?
As we talked about a month ago almost to the day, T-Mobile is not the only one doing WiFi calling. But with 25 different phones available supporting the feature, T-Mobile certainly has the most variety. I love the idea of unlimited calling over WiFi on a full-featured 4G phone.
T-Mobile stated that it, “cannot expedite how quickly you receive the update” and it will take until January 20 to finish rolling out the update to everybody. If you can’t wait for the update notification to pop up, go to: Menu button > About phone > HTC software update > check.
The HTC Amaze 4G—which was announced back in September and subsequently released in October—is a solid offering from HTC and T-Mobile. The Amaze 4G has a 1.5 GHz Scorpion processor with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 8MP rear camera (1080p), a 2MP front camera, 4.3-inch screen, and a pixel density of 256 pixels per inch. Not a bad phone even before the WiFi update.
