I have been listening about this Z-hinge for a very long time and even at one point of time i too was afraid to buy this phone, but trust me it isnt like it what you see in youtube....
I got this Case (book-type) from Pdair and this phone looks much like a complete business phone and awesome presence. If you think Z-hinge can be an issue for you, get this case.
check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kh4G2RVAp9o
official site: www.pdair.com
I want to share my personal reviews on this phone:
Pro's
1. Adequate RAM, CPU and GPU...so no lag in whatsoever
2. Awesome qwerty keypad, well spacious and easy to use
3. multi-touch & trackpad
4. 720p camcorder - awesome video recording
5. Google Android experience with Froyo
6. GPS, tithering, 3G, Wifi - all in one combo
7. Premium metal finish - increase phone look and feel
Con's
1. weighs heavier than other phones (180gm)
>> but you will get used to it... :)
2. Battery mah is less
>> if you are a hardcore user, battery will last only a day, if you disabled edge / 3G you can drag up to 1.5-2days with only calls, however standby is really good (~1.2weeks)
3. Z-hinge
>> Hinge is never an issue, buy a pdair case to make it look more professional

This might of some interest to most of you's who have a G1, but it'll probably come to G2 quite soon.
Below is a link to an Engadget post of a working Honeycomb port for the G1, a video of the port on the G1 is also included in the post:

I have updated recently my desire Z to the last OTA (seems to have been activated 2 days ago) and it seems to me it goes pretty much better. Battery performance has improved. The phone, before, could end the day almost depleting the battery. Now, it has been 1d and 9h and the battery still has 20%. The phone does not have some lags I appreciated before. In general, a very positive update. Have you experienced the same?

AnonD-252, 24 Feb 2011I hold all my phones on the very edge of the screen when it... moreThe 4 mm edge of the screen half of the phone is also slanted and rounded. If you do try to hold only this part of the phone, it is more likely to slip from your fingers before the keyboard half opens. It's probably only 2.5 mm slanted and then the other 1.5 mm is rounded away even more.
If you are so against the Z hindge, perhaps the HTC Merge is more to your liking. It features a physical keyboard as well. Information on this phone is rather limited right now, but the keyboard mechanism appears to be a slider instead of the Z hinge mechanism of the Desire Z.
