Is it just me or are there 2 connector pieces of plastic on one side of the hinge but only one on the other? Mine is like that....is that normal or does mine need to be returned?
I don't care...I just got this phone and I LOVE it. The keyboard rules and I've discovered apps. LOL.
I have this phone. The best part is the keyboard but it makes it a heavy phone compared to the Desire. The numbers on the keyboard are shared keys so you have to use the function button which is cumbersome. Battery life is a bit ordinary. But in summary, it has all the benefits of a HTC Desire and the Android platform with a keyboard. Best phone I've owned so far.
@jdabel1 wildfire s has similar features but it costs about 60 pounds more.. do you suggest to buy z? I can see only one difference in S: it's more stylish and thin, but maybe I am not an expert
The wildfire has a slower processor and less resolution on the screen which is also smaller. The Z also has the HTC Sense software making it easier to link contacts with facebook and twitter friends. I would only get the wildfire if you wanted small and not worried about speed/graphics. In Australia, the Wildfire is much cheaper than the Z.
@jdabel1 sorry I mispelled I wanted to say desire s and desire z. Wildfire is very cheap (180 on amazon.co.uk) but doesn't support flash 10 so I will probably buy desire z on ebay uk at 260 pounds against the newer but similar desire s at 310
@GodDCreator The CPU is slower but because the technology used is newer, it actually runs pretty close to the Desire. I don't think you'll notice a big difference.
@bogdan5844 i heard you can over clock it to 1.5 ghz and it has the same cpu as htc desire hd, its just underclocked to 800mhz. the graphics accelerator is 58 fps which is higher than the samsung galaxy tab :)
@BehelitOutlaw you will have to root your phone and use an app called setcpu, or flash it with a custom rom and you will be able to change the cpu in settings.
not really, I fell on some ice and really bashed my phone and its fine, the keyboard hinge is fine but there are some serious dings in the case but its working fine
@XRattamahattaX I tossed it twice already (dont ask, girl problems). All it did was slide up. Dropped it accidentally once, and my little brother tossed it once after he got mad with Angry birds. Battery was out, but it worked perfectly afterwards; only a slight scratch on aluminium part. Even thou the "slide" motion feels a bit loose, the hindges are some king of an metal alloy, not plastic, and just looking back at mine and what it survived in only 4 weeks - the whole device is super strong!
I have watched many reviews for this smartphone over the past few days and I must say that this one is my favorite so far. This phone is amazing, I like the fact that it's still pretty fast despite having a slower processor than most of the other smartphones and Android is awesome (although there are some security issues with some of their apps). I hope the hinges for the keyboard is'nt as flimsy as it looks. Good review, Great phone!
The hinge on my device is loose but I 've never had one situation where i said 'OMG that's just not good'. When lying in bed keyboard out it pops itself close but if you (obviously) grab it on the sides with two hands(like a game controller) where it's the most comfortable to hold, it cannot close itself 'cause you are holding the sides too. So it's not a problem for me. I love this phone and the hinge is just great. The engineers at HTC are not dumb. They know what they do.
Oh and one more thing: It never opens accidentally because the hinge opens by tilting the screen part UP a little bit not sliding sideways like many other brands. You never open this if you are using it normally. You have to WANT to open it the wrong way to do it.
My only problem is the lack of my language's special characters like áéíóüöőúű but that's a local problem and can be solved by additional programs.
Excellent looking handset if i may say,I nearly got one of those the other week when i was looking for a HTC to buy,Unfortunatly it was not out in the CPW when i was looking,I like the slide out keyboard but as a whole i think the Hinged mechanism look's to be a little on the cheap side,Nokia adopted a similar part for their phone's and a lot of ppl had problem's with it,not that i'm saying HTC will have problem's just something to look out for in this handset,Brilliant review buddy,Brill Video!
@pimpyouriphone3g Nokia today is junk. they were once some of the best, but since the colored screens came they slowly started to destroy them selves. at the time i was a big fan of nokia, but now i kinda hate em.
@IIIIN3ROOIIII yeh they have gone down hill so much since i had my N85 8GB, After that model i thought all the rest they brought out were utter rubbish, Now they have teamed up with Microsoft and windows 7,Disasterous,Jumped out of the fire and in to the frying pan in my opinion.
