Thanks, Griff - my particular interest is that I suffer from tremors, so using things like touch-screen satnavs is difficult for me, due to 'stutter', while normal phone keypads are too small, even Blackberries etc. I'm trying to find a phone which can cope with me. ;)

I think battery life is what is important with HTC the new HD only has a  1230 mAh battery which is really odd, also seems the cover is not as well fitting  as previous models, so it means turning stuff off, that's fair but you should not have to, I leave GPS on 24/7 and wifi and get two- three days with normal usage. I don't know if the Z model has a better battery. You cant increase screen size and have a 1ghz cpu and slim the battery down  :shake: form over function yet again.

Not quite me, MW. I want to look young and cool while actually being a boring old fart. ;D

which is why i took the normal desire :) yeah maybe the z would be more suited for you? So far i'm going to try juice defender to extend battery. Not sure if the pro edition is worth it

That's what I was wondering, Sam. I just want someone to test one for me. ;D

I shall report back how easily i can use the desire. Your best bet is to call into any of the high street storers and pretend you are going to buy. That way you can have a proper go on it :)

A proper go for me, Sam, requires me to drop it several times. ;)

At least it wouldn't be your phone that you drop!
