The New HTC Desire Z with High Resolution Screen
The new HTC Desire Z not only features the "Froyo" 2.2 version of the ever popular Android operating system. Team this with the rare thing that is a physical keypad and you have a phone destined for great things.
In essence the Desire Z is a scaled down version of the manufacturers Desire HD model, a phone that actually overshadowed the launch of the impressive "Z". The screen has been slightly scaled down in size, but the handset does offer a very high quality Qwerty keypad to aide the composition of e mails and text messages. All Android phones offer a virtual keypad via the touchscreen, but seldom few feature a physical variety. Unlike the more popular slider mechanism favoured by many brands, this models sees the keypad operated via a "pop hinge". This sees the keyboard arc into its final position rather than slide. By doing this, HTC claim it allows for a more comfortable typing experience as it creates more distance from the bottom of the screen. In terms of uses this system works well. The hinge feels robust and in general build quality is superb. The keys are well spaced out and responsive, and the alternative virtual display also offers a pleasing experience should you be looking to save time. The Desire Z moves away from AMOLED screen technology in favour of the older LCD screen, however this work superbly and is perhaps the best example you will find of such a screen. At 480 x 800, resolution is very high, resulting in crystal clear pictures and stunning colour tones.
The Sense user interface boasts some great new features that are present on the HTC Desire Z. Much of this focuses around backup and security via a new cloud system. Many of your personal files, contacts and call history can be backed up, and via the manufacturers website you can locate your handset on a map if it is lost, as well as remotely making the phone ring, even if it is set on silent. Should the need arise, you can even lock your handset or wipe its contents directly in the event of it being stolen. These practical features are excellent alongside the more fun elements of Sense such as the great social networking features and the homescreen helicopter view. Speed wise the Desire Z is a very quick phone, despite having a smaller processor the than Desire HD at 800Mhz. This seems ample for the unit given the smaller screen, and likewise the 1.5GB storage suffices for everyday use. There is however a micro SD card slot for people looking for more ample storage. HTC seem to have hit the jackpot yet again with this impressive new model. The phone is a perfect companion for nearly everybody, but messagers and social networking fans will particularly be attracted to this model.
The HTC Desire Z and the Nokia C7 are available now.
