I think the big issue with the Amaze was the initial price point. It was not a cheap phone and the average guy on the street was not going to pay a high price point... even though it was the highest level phone T-Mobile had to offer (and still is) at the time. The phone just didn't sell up to expectations. Notice the TV commercials for it have gone away as well.
What we have is a one-off phone that no other carrier has (at least in the US) that is made up of a lot of one-off components. Not a cheap phone to produce. So the price point had to be higher than normal.
The long and short of it is that we have a fantastic device and when it gets ICS it will be even better. I dare say that very few, if any, phones will be able to live up to it's quality and speed. It is just a great phone... end of story!
