I also have no issues with typing on the keyboard. Every keyboard is different and it will take some getting used to. Every phone with a keyboard I have used from the N97, BlackBerry Tour to the Desire Z takes about a month to get use to with normal use. Even my Asus Eee Pad Transformer's keyboard dock took about a month to get used to as it is about 90% the size of a standard keyboard.

And 2 days ago the screen just stopped responding to any touch att all. HTC also have a very bad customer service because they still have not even fixed the fatal ÅÄÖ bug, and when they are called they simply lie saying that the latest update did fix this bug even though it definetly did not. Z could have been so good, but unfortunatly it is made by HTC! HTC does not deserve their reputation for having "good" buildquality, reviewers are too easily fooled when they think that a metal-body automatically is the same as "good" buildquality!
I can not recommend anyone to buy Z, especially not too the price/cost I see in stores in Sweden today where it actually cost more than Galaxy S2!

I've had the phone since January, and was pleased with it until about 2 months ago when for some reason, it started to randomly start the car mode, and turn ANY incoming or outgoing calls onto loudspeaker mode. A bit of a hastle if you ask me.
I talked to HTC Customer Service, was told to flash the ROM, which I did, to no avail. I then looked online for a fix, and found that turning off the autoboot in the car mode. It seemed to fix it. Things were going fine until last week, when the phone randomly started to switch between headphones and hands-free (I was using regualy sony headphones, no hands-free) and when it would do this, it would call the last person on my call list and stop/start playing music. So, I figured I would take it into the customer service office to get it fixed. Was given the run around, told it would be two days, its been three, and when I called, was told there was no problem with the phone, but the were waiting to call me because they didn't have any free courier space.
Still waiting to see if the problems are still there. If they continue, I will be switching to another phone.

reky, 22 Sep 2011hello all, i'm thinking of buying the DZ. so can i make video call if i'm using skypee? and ... moreyou can use skype but this phone doesnt come with front camera so either you see the person on the other side of the call, or the other person will see you! (or you could use a mirror!)

I used this phone for 1month now and I am quite happy with it, if the lack of front camera doesn't bother you that much its great choice.

Today the "GO keyboard" was updated again, and now, almost 1 year after Z was released, the fatal keyboard bug, ÅÄÖ and some other problems, is finally completly fixed, no thanks to HTC!

I did never throw away the electronic garbage bag that I put my Z in, and now that SE experia pro soon is released I decided to play with my old Z. I have installed this custom rom forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042­ and I have installed GO keyboard, free from Android Market, to fix the fatal bug with åäöÅÄÖ, and I use ADWLancher EX.
