The keyboard is OK but I don't use it much because I find "SlideIT"
keyboard so good. However where it's useful is sometimes you need the
screen real estate and not having your software keyboard taking up the
whole screen is useful.

Other than that the reasons I didn't go for the Desire HD were the
following:-

1. although it has a bigger screen the resolution is just the same.

2. Spare batteries are obligatory with any smart phone but I heard the
HD was particular bad for battery.

3. It doesn't have an optical track pad which I find critical for
navigating around clumsy web forms.


On the plus side the HD does seem to have a fast chip and I have noticed
the occasional sluggishness on the Z.

Overall I'm pretty happy with the Z. Interestingly when I was looking
around the Bog standard "Desire" was more expensive than the Z sim free.
That's still a very good phone.

I also looked at a few other phones but I'd previously had a HTC hero
and didn't want to give up the pinch zoom which comes with HTC Sense UI


 Cheers,

     Dave.
