The "4G" in the HTC Amaze 4G refers to T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, which is not the same as 4G LTE being rolled out by Verizon and AT&T.
HSPA+ is more like 3.5G, but the Amaze is one of a few handsets actually capable of hitting the fourth-place carrier's faster 42Mbps data speeds.
Uploads varied between a paltry 1.0 to 1.6Mbps, rather disappointing considering the respectable rates we achieved in the opposite direction.
The built-in web browser (aka Internet) is fairly standard stuff for Android 2.3.4, defaulting to a T-Mobile web2go portal with a mish-mash of Yahoo and CNN news, quick links and other data, which we quickly eliminated in Settings with extreme prejudice.
