HTC Desire Z > Reviews (8)

Having had my previous phone for over 3 years I decided I needed a new one. I didn't want a blackberry as nearly everyone seems to have one nowadays and so I went for a HTC on a recommendation and when this model came on special offer I went for it.

Appearance:
Well when this arrived in the post, the box itself was very small, only marginally longer than the phone itself. Even though this is quite a big phone it still fits nicely in my hand and is very, very easy to use.

Features:
Well I'm not one of these people who knows all about mobile phones and electronics but I do know quite a bit, and this phone has so many features I struggle to even use half of them! One of the main features has to be the qwerty keyboard. This flips out so easily I can do it with one hand and is just the perfect size – big enough to easily type, small enough so as not to look out of place. The touch screen is very good, it is very big and very sensitive, perfect.

Battery Life:
Well, lots of people have complained about the battery life but I don’t think it’s that bad! For me it can easily last for at least a day despite it being connected to the internet, and on full screen brightness. Much better than some of my friends’ phones Blackberry etc.

Value for money:
As I mentioned earlier I found this phone on special offer (£200 Carphone Warehouse) and as I was looking for a phone, a HTC in particular, I went for this. In my opinion this is well worth it. It does everything I need it to and more, I honestly couldn’t ask for a better phone for the price I paid.

The App Store:
The android app store is vast. There are lots of games to choose from ones which can cost over a fiver to ones that are free. I have downloaded some great apps from there, and most of them have been free, all you need is an internet connection and you can browse and download the app you need in seconds.

Browsing:
Browsing on the HTC Desire Z is an overall pleasurable experience, browsing is very quick, the page you need opens up in, I find, an average of under 5 seconds and typing, thanks to the qwerty keyboard is quick and easy, also, thanks to the touch screen, zooming in and out and selecting the correct link on google is very easy.

Camera:
The HTC Desire Z has a 5MP camera which is fantastic. I recently took it on a school trip as I needed some pictures for my Geography Coursework and all of the pictures were of very good quality and show lots of detail.

Overall I feel that this is without doubt the best phone that I have ever had and also the best phone that I have ever used. I would highly recommend this to anyone whatever their age or phone expertise.
