    Emmanuel, 29 Jan 2011Hi all! Can Desire Z users comment on some things for me? ... moreThe screen is OK outdoors. It is readable. You just need a few moments for your eyes to adjust. The screen is fairly reflective, so you may need to adjust your viewing angle a bit if there is something bright behind you.

    The keyboard is good. With all keyboards, you just have to get used to it. I type a little faster on my old N97 keyboard because there are more punctuation characters you can access without pressing the shift/function key.

    Headphones sound pretty good.

        Hi all! Can Desire Z users comment on some things for me? How fast does this phone seem, compared to the original desire? Is the screen good for outdoor use, like while walking down the street in the sun. Is the keyboard good for quick typing while in bed, and what's the sound like using earphones?

                  their are few options to have qwerty installed on smarphone cellphones which is not good.I think they should cater for the qwerty fans.Thank You.Rico.

I have had it since November and never have any issues with the hinge and I use the keyboard almost all the time for entering text. The fact that it does not lock in place is generally not an issue. When using the keyboard, you're generally going to hold it in a way that the screen doesn't flip up. The supports seem solid enough as well. They perhaps look thin, but they feel like they are made of some really hard metal when I touch them.

                          I have been using the phone for about 10 hours now. I like the phone, the weight does not bother me, i rly liked the contact tranfer option from the previous phone, because the SIM card could not store all of mine. The phone is rly responsive and all, but gave me some hard time, since i'm using android for the first time. i could do just anything but send text messages. not long ago i figured out that my service center number was not correct, so i fixed it, and it works now. i have another issue tho, from time to time i get a popup about smsing to a group named after my hometown. i'm not rly sure what's that about, but probably the effect of synchronizing stuff from mail/facebook and other stuff. it hasnt send any smses, so i dont rly care. and it doesnt popup while i have the wireless turned off. the camera is nice also, the fps on the video seems to be dependant on what i was recording. seems to work a bit better when the amount of things in front of the camera in smaller. photos are sharp, flash is great, the hinge is working perfectly, overall i rly like the phone. the only thing that upset me was the stuff with smses, which took me some time to fix.

                            Have this phone about three weeks now. It's a really good phone, lots of options, quick and confortable.
                            It's pretty heavy, but that's not a problem for me.

                            The only issues I have, is that the keyboard isn't the most comfortable one (had N97 on wich less press power was required), and the batterylife (almost an entire day if I don't use it too much), plus it uses a lot of data very easy (wich is an issue if you have a data limited subscribtion like me).

                            Otherwise it works smooth, no hinge problem (it's overrated), it's fast, and user friendly.

                              me, 27 Jan 2011could u share ur exp ? thxi'll write something about it tomorrow. i bought the phone this evening, now it's in the 16h long charging phase -.-
                              btw when it comes to the z hinge... first i tested a phone in a shop. the keyboard moved rly fast and made a not too comfortable noise when it hit the bottom of the screen. but they had one of the early versions of the phone. when i tested mine, it moved rly smoothly, and didnt make any noise when i open the keyboard.
                              as i said, now the phone is still charging, they told me that the battery reaches max capacity after 10 chargings, so i probably wont be able to comment on that anytime soon. but i'll tell you about the rest of my experience asap.
