HTC Group has now released a mobile that falls slightly to the rarer type of HTC phones, as there is a smartphone with full QWERTY keyboard. And when the sister series Desire HD already has received more media coverage than good, it almost goes without saying that Desire Z will be a huge sales success.
HTC Desire Z Highlights
- Full QWERTY keyboard
- Light weighs 180 grams
- 800 MHz Qualcomm CPU
- 5 megapixel camera
- A-GPS
- Bluetooth
- 3.7 "Super LCD display
- microUSB
Description
The phone is less than Desire HD, where the display is "only" measures 3.7 "(it is worth mentioning that this still lies in the higher end to mobile screens, which are otherwise the same size as the old Desire and bigger than iPhone 4's display).
The buttons on the QWERTY keyboard is full-bodied and has a slightly curved shape which makes them easy to "feel their way to" so to speak. The keyboard claps out, in the sense that it flaps up and looked, instead of out under. It works well and sturdy.
The phone measures 119 x 60.4 x 14.16 mm and weighs 180 grams (slightly more than Desire HD, but there is after all a physical keyboard attached).
At the bottom you'll find an optical trackpad, which is especially useful when you scroll through text. The usual HTC buttons that are known from several other models from the manufacturer, is also looking at the bottom.
