There is some tension on the spring to prevent it from accidentally opening. So far, it has not accidentally opened on me the two months I have owned it.

    As for holding the phone while lying on your back, you will have to prop the screen open with a finger to keep the keyboard from closing. On those rare occasions where I use the phone in this position, I did not have much difficulty typing while holding the phone this way. I rarely hold the phone that way because my arms will get tired regardless of whether or not I need to enter text. Most of the time, if I am using the phone, the position of the phone is at the same level or lower than my head.

      I've heard some people say that this 800MHz processor that is made from the new 45nm technology performs better than the older 65nm 1GHz Snapdragon processor. Is this true? And can it handle heavy 3D games without lag?

Is there any chance of accidental opening of the keyboard when I don't want to open it or while it is in my pocket? Is it possible to use the keyboard comfortably while lying on bed as gravity causes automatic closure of keyboard?
        I'm fond of this beauty but my only concern is the HINGE. Hope to get proper feedback.

And the patches dont come from samsung, they dont care, they always sold flawed fons and did quite well. Coz low skill users and the grey mases dont care, they will not notice, they onli see the Specs on the paper and lives happily ever after. R u one of them?

            performance is worthless if the fone and the software isnt well made, HTC is dong a much better job, its incredible that so advanced units can have so few software issues. Samsung and LG just want to push out high specced fones, they dont care about issues or after sales services. Thats ok for a non-advanced user, but if u r an enthusiast u wil notice and you will suffer.

                A large proportion of our development team own this device. I can tell you that it is easily overclockable to a safe and STABLE 1.5Ghz, making it quicker than any other handset I've used.

                On another note, check out villainrom.co.uk for a custom Gingerbread ROM, out now. Forget waiting ;)

                        I wanted to buy this phone but the processor gives me a doubt if this will be upgradable for at least 3.0. at least Desire has 1Ghz processor which has more chance to be upgraded to 2.3 and 3.0.

                                Ken, 03 Jan 2011Hi stuntman, I have a question , I saw this beauty recently... moreI'm not sure about attachments within MS Office documents, but the DZ can open and edit these documents.

                                As for push mail, it is only for Gmail accounts. For other email accounts, it polls them. The is a way to get push mail with other accounts. What you have to do is forward you other account to Gmail. Then when your other account receives email, it will instantly forward to Gmail and then you will instantly get it pushed to your phone. I do that with my email and it is as fast as my BlackBerry.

                                        Hey guys, I have just got the HTC Desire Z a few days ago and I have absolutely no problems with it. My previous phone was an iphome 3G S and this phone is much better. As far as the battery life is concerned, it lasts me a full day. HTC FTW!
