    Hey Guys,

    I am planning to buy HTC DESIRE Z. I am from India > Bombay. I have few questions in my mind which i would like to ask to the people who own this handset or the ones who have idea about ANDROID os.

    1) The device comes with Android OS, v2.2 (Froyo). Should the OS be upgraded to the latest version GINGERBREAD ? Is this possible ? i want know if the phone can be upgraded for better performance in future..

    2) 3G services are going to be out in 2011 here. So video calling is possible ?

    3) Voice Calls Can be made VIA skype using the data traffic ?

    THanks in Advance...

    Regards

    Neo

            Manav Kataria, 25 Dec 2010*Connectivity Issues Anyone?* Hi! I recently bought this... moreManav, check you network setting, if it is in WCDMA Only, change it to GSM or GSM/WDCMA.
            i had the same issue & changing this helped.

            ALSO you can enter *#*#4636#*#* on phone dial pad, select phone information, then scroll down to selection box, change set preferred network type to each of the options & see if it helps.

              Anonymous, 29 Dec 2010Yea.. the phone is available in India.. on flipkart.. googl... moreEven i was in same delima till i bought this one. I am a Qwerty Fan, so finally opted for this one, but i soon discovered that in screen keyboard of DZ is much good as well. Trust me, even after having a qwerty keyboard, i use on screen keyboard for 80% of times.

              so HD scores over DZ, and is lighter as well. DZ is 180g which makes it a slightly heavier gadget.

                THE BEST I ever had, am having this for last 2 months & believe me it is just fantastic. The performance is awesome & it beats anyphone in its range. It has actually replaced my laptop usage by 30-40% for checking emails & basic browsing. i highly recommend it.

                by the way its available in India through Flipkart.com @ Rs.25799

                      For those users who got the battery issue pls don't worry about it. I'm also getting the issue and complain to HTC, but there's no issue after that. What can I suspect is the battery is new and causing the problem. After few times charging the problem will be gone. This problem also occur on my cousin Nokia phone last time. Not a big deal after few times charging.

                        Thank you for your advices.

                        With old models of Nokia I had that problem too, and I was putting a peace of paper between the battery and the phone, so the battery not to move..I made the same here on sunday, and up to now its always on. I hope that was the problem :(

What I did was take the battery out and then cleaned the battery contacts on the battery and phone. After putting it back in, it seems to have resolved the problem.

I had mine 4 weeks and no problems wit that. Check your battery cover. Make sure its closed properly. I doubt that is the problem but its all i can think of. Maybe you need to RMA it.

                                    Hi all HTC desire z users.

                                    I have mine from 2 weeks, and from time to time its turning off by himself (while the battery is full), someone have the same problem?

                                      sk_ind, 27 Dec 2010hi all dere ! I've been using this device for the past 3-4... morediscussions abt N900 yes, but noone recommending N900 over Desire Z. Im juz saying N900 has a superior OS, but inferior hardware/battery life. N900 is just the best nokia and real linux is way better than Android, but Desire Z is still a much better handset.
