At 800mhz, it is actually faster than a 1ghz Snapdragon. Look it up on Youtube. It's performance is on par with the Hummingbird in the Galaxy S phones.

well i must say i have never been a motaroloa fan will not even look at buying one i moved from nokia to htc and i must say what a smart move indeed . i have been realy happy with my first smart phone and the service that htc has given me , i feel the htc desire z is a good looking phone , there are alot of other phones out there with smaller screens than what ths phone has to offer . not realy worried about the weight i feel if it feels solid and heavy , u should never loose or miss place the phone . i had a lighter phone and i miss placed it several times. i am persificly looking for a touch scrren phone with a qwerty keyboard and htc has deliverd such a device , cant wait for the reviews and it is not badly priced either , so stop moneing , there are worse phones out there , and htc do make great phones .

And not only that but according to the benchmarks the 1ghz TI OMAP3600 series simply annihilates all the phones on the market. It is the most powerful processor on the market and its on the milestone2.

The milestone2 is also thinner, lighter and smaller but the same screen size. It has much more internal storage (8gb vs 1.5gb) than the desire z and since android doesn't let you run apps from a memory card thats a huge advantage. It has a bigger battery (1400mah vs 1300mah) and dual led flash. The milestone2 does do 720p recording. Check here
http://www.engadget.com/2010/0...-2-2-and-mo/

But above all it obliterates the competition in terms of cpu+gpu. Nothing comes close to it. Not even the hummingbird on the galaxy s.

So really I dont see a reason to get the desire z at all and thus i dont understand why it gets all the hype. Yet I hear nothing about the milestone2 which was announced ages ago.

For all the people who comment about the SLOWER!! 2nd generation 800 Mhz processor used in the Desire Z compared to the 1st generation 1 Ghz processor as used by numerous other smatphones,e.g HTC Desire. See the specifications below. It took me all of 1 minute to find this information!

http://www.qualcomm.com/produc...pdragon.html

http://www.techradar.com/news/...ained-147819

If you read the specs you can clearly see that the 2nd generation 800 Mhz processor has nearly twice as much graphical power as the 1st generation 1Ghz processor, it supports more video codecs and by using 45nm instead of 65nm process technology it should consume less power.

So please don't get sucked in by the numbers game that marketing people are so willing to quote to fool consumers. After all would prefer an Intel Pentium 4 3 Ghz processor or an Intel Core i7 2.66 Ghz processor for your PC ??

An ex processor (again, 800 Mhz isn't really a slow one) but a qwerty keyboard via android 2.2 with an S-LCD capacitive screen. A really tough competitor of course. Maybe absence of AMOLED screen is a negative but I'm expecting a quite well levelled price for this device actually. If you can't pay for a Desire or Desire HD, in HTC brand, that will be your absolute choice in deed.

Why would you want this phone when the milestone2 has a faster processor, more storage, duel led flash and is much smaller and lighter while it still has the same screen size.

That just doesn't make sense to me. The milestone2 was announced ages ago
