An Introduction To The Brilliant Htc Desire Z

The HTC Desire Z gives smartphone fans something many have been crying out for

, a physical keypad. This model has almost arrived unnoticed with much of the attention being on the Desire HD as well as the new Windows 7 models.

HTC have always providing superb screens on their handsets, and the Desire Z is no exception. Despite not using AMOLED technology, the S-LCD screen provides vibrant colours and is capable of displaying up to 16 million of them. The overall resolution of the screen is a hefty 480 x 800 pixels, rivalling some of the best screen technology available. Thanks to multi touch being supported, pinch and zoom can be used to enlarge elements of pictures and websites, and this works well, the high resolution screening maintaining much of the image quality even when zoomed in. Inevitably, with the addition of the physical keyboard some extra millimetres have been added to the overall depth of the model. Measuring 14.2mm, it is chunkier than other models but in fairness it is still a relatively streamlined device. Despite the screen occupying much of the front of the handset, there is still room for HTC to slot in an optical trackpad which offers a nice alternative to the touch screen, especially for tasks such as correcting spelling mistakes and anything that requires precise positioning. At 180G the handset is certainly no lightweight, but does feel incredibly well built, with the addition of metallic elements on the back panel adding to this expensive feel.

The HTC Desire Z utilises the Android 2.2 operating system, much like the aforementioned Desire HD. This brings a great deal of functionality to the user, with a most recently used app section located on the notification bar. The Sense user interface also offers some real user friendly functions. Via the htc sense website a whole host of your personal information is automatically backed up via a cloud system, thus if you ever need to change your handset, you information can be easily transferred. Also this sytem can call your phone if you have misplaced it, making it ring even in silent mode. The handset can also be locked remotely, preventing other people using the phone. Another advantage of this phone is the "Locations" app from HTC. This allows you to view maps and use the handset as a satellite navigation system. And even without 3G coverage, you can still view cached maps without the need for a download.

The HTC range of handsets already has a growing army of followers, and the Desire Z will add to this thanks to the addition of the excellent physical keypad.
