The HTC Desire Z is like the original Desire, but with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard attached. End of review! But seriously, that's what it is. The keyboard is a huge bonus in our opinion, but it does add considerably to the weight and bulk of the device. Elesewhere, the Desire Z is very similar to the original Desire, with only slight variations in spec. Apart from the size of the phone, the only problem that we found is the battery life, which will be about a day for many users.

I had this phone for about two week and found it to be the best from HTC.Do not be disheartened by the processor speed as there was no difference from HTC Desire with an added advantage of Sense II and free navigation around the world and also better than Desire HD in terms of battery life and portability. In short it is the best smart phone for the moment.
