The Desire Z seems a bit of an oddball. It's a big touchscreen phone, along the same lines as the Desire, but it also includes a keyboard that emerges from underneath and an optical touchpad for general navigation.
That hybridisation means it's a bulky device: it's thick, measuring 14.2mm and, at 180g, pretty heavy too. Neither are we completely convinced about the mechanism through which the keyboard appears. Instead of sliding smoothly, it pivots on a double hinge out and over. It feels a touch on the flimsy side.
The keyboard itself, however, is beyond reproach: if you don't get on with touchscreen text entry, this is the phone for you. The keys of its physical, Qwerty keyboard are large, well-spaced and responsive.

Good but bad, really helpful. ;D
To many devices offering similar features I think, although at least they all aim to have the same chargers soon ::)
Except Apple, I bet. ;)
Cynic. :)
:whistle:
Actually Apple were signed up, which surprised me. HTC however, had not.
Curious.
Send for a psychiatrist. :)
HTC are already using the Micro USB socket on their Desire range, so does that make them ahead of the field?
Quite probably.
