mvuki, 09 Jul 2012I agree with you, i just bought the htc desire z, but i am regretting, it hangs up when i was ... moreMy friend....you got it all wrong!!! It seems like you bought non original phone and I am sura about it becz many many times I have dropped it on the ground from a high distance probably 6 feet and nothing happened to the phone not even one scratch,the battery life is not poor like you are saying it is actually acceptable and I have noticed this but I can not say neither that the battery life is perfect neither the battery life is poor...btw this phone is not at allll fragile it is very solid,made of high quality materials and has a solid build quality and it is quite durable :)

        Hello there,

        THIS IS A CALL TO ALL DESIRE Z LOVERS,

        Desire Z is my phone for little over a year. It got one upgrade only so far. I recommend that we e-mail htc to provide the ics upgrade or even the JB which is better. I am asking Desire Z owners to start e-mailing the company for such upgrades for their great benefits that suit such a great high quality phone.

        Thanks all

            Good phone..i've been using it for the past 1 and half year..the only and major problem being that it gets damaged very easily and you have to get it repaired quite often.

                    1Ghz phone my friends are using. All inbuilt and android application works perfectly , great sense of touch,Gingerbread 2.3.3 works perfectly fine. I found only two disadvantages overall weight(becoz of the sliding qwerty keypad) and battery performance (which i think same problem with any smartphone), other than that the phone is simply superb. I would suggest to use rubberized or leather protector case to avoid any scratches. It would have been great if HTC release ICS for this phone, any idea if they are going to ???

                        I just sent my HTC Desire Z in because the battery began draining down to zero in less than 24 hrs. When HTC recieved it they said that the mother board was damaged? I dropped the phone once about 6 months ago and it caused a slight superficial scratch on the screen but otherwise it was working fine.
                        Is this normal with these phones because HTC wants to bill me $200 for the repair

                                Phone works perfect until the on board memory burns out under six months and HTC does not service outside of the USA

                                  AnonD-22234, 12 Apr 2012hey friends just wanted to know if it is possible to upgrade the software to android 4 version... moreIf you root it and unlock the bootloader, yes, you can put ICS on it. I'm running ICS (Cyanogenmod 9) for a few months now and it's much better, faster, more fluid than the stock software, be it Froyo or Gingerbread.
                                  Also, to the people complaining about the 800 MHz CPU, once you root the phone you can easily overclock it, I'm usually running mine on 1.5 GHz.

I've had it for less than 3 months and i'm regret... moreI owned this phone because of the fact of keyboard, I have iPhone, blackberry. from work and the galaxy s1, but I prepared the htc desire z comparison to the 3 that I have, I drop it many times but haven't experience shattering the glass since its made from gorilla glass, maybe you shouldn't throw it hard! The keyboard hard to handle,if ur to used to it, tooks me a while to like since I owned the old htc windows with keyboard as well. Generally quite good but the camera sometime when focusing the subjec and it's moves a lot, you won't have good shot.
