The Htc Desire Z Is A Combined Touch Screen/qwerty Android Smartphone

The dual release of the HTC Desire HD and Desire Z has everybody talking

. Both phones feature the Android 2.2 (Froyo) Operating System and both are different takes on the already awesome HTC Desire. There has been tons of hype surrounding both handsets, and the recent release of them both has sent shockwaves of interest throughout the industry.

The HTC Desire Z is the topic for today; a lightweight touch screen device with a flick out QWERTY keyboard for enhanced messaging. The phones obvious aesthetic qualities include the 3.7 inch display which has a pixel resolution of 480 x 800 (WVGA). The gorgeous screen also hosts the same capacitive touch technology as its predecessor, this mean that the UI utilises the multi-touch input method. As you would expect from a touch/QWERTY hybrid the screen has an accelerometer sensor which flips the UI when using the keyboard.

HTC have stuck with the slick HTC Sense overlay to decorate the new improved Android software; the Desire Z runs remarkably smooth and the 800MHz processor makes light work of the media heavy applications like the web browser and FriendStream. The mount for the keyboard is unique to the phone and rather than sliding out the panel of keys it lifts the screen up and then slides out the keys, this way they can provide a fully functional raised key pad; it is super sturdy and reliable, and gives the phone an industrial undertone to an otherwise professional feel.

Many of the features found on the Desire can be found on the new Desire Z. FriendStream still provides its SNS and messaging support by bringing everything under those categories beneath one umbrella. You also get you applications lined up in iPhone type menus and access to the Android Market if you realize that you dont have an app for a certain function. The Android Market has a growing population of apps which range from gaming to stock exchange management.

The Desire Z provides a full online experience with coverage for 3G network and turbo speed connectivity via Wi Fi. The web browser is fully capable of saving bookmarks and can be manipulated via multi-touch controls (pinch and zoom). The phone is integrated with many popular online services including Facebook and YouTube and compatible with sites like PayPal and eBay too. Users can quickly compose messages and e-mail thanks to the keyboard, the keys are a good size and well spaced for accurate typing, composing long winded messages no longer takes forever.

HTC have fitted the Desire Z with a 5MP digital camera which can capture 720p HD video and gorgeous high def photos which can be shared online or across Bluetooth. The video and music players are calibrated to playback a number of file types in there respective fields, a 3.5mm jack allows for headphones while the microSD slot will comfortably manage memory upgrades up to 32GB.

With the additions of the Desire HD and Desire Z to HTCs smartphone roster, there reputation for providing top quality and highly capable phones is rising. HTC are one of the few companies which seem to be trying to take the mobile technology market to the next level. They have become a real driving force in the current market with other companies like Sony Ericsson and Nokia struggling to keep up.
