Using it since 2010's Xmas and awesome experience.
It's true, the hard keyboard slide may not be the best, but if you care about your phone, you will not have any problem. You will get used and will be natural. Is a little heavy, but the hard keyboard worths it. My monster fingers smoothly write messages in seconds.
Really speedy phone, 3G works excellent, not much dropped calls, I'm waiting anxious the Android 2.3 upgrade. I use it for work, facebook, twitter, all together, all integrated.
I will recommend it to everyone who wants an excellent phone, above the average of knowns smart phones

So if you have a dataplan or access to a wifi the cost is zero. Or you can even download the update via an internet connected pc and use a usb cable to update the phone.
Also it has been announced by htc that the gingerbread update will come in June 2011.

I can not recommend this phone, the hinge IS extremly bad, but for me and all of us in Sweden Z have a fatal problem because our swedish letters åäö are always big ÅÄÖ in almost every app and officeediting-software installed from the market, and the "fix" close and the open the keyboard again only result in the letters åäö now are always small and not even the Shift-key can make them large ÅÄÖ.

If you like me are from Sweden then I strongly recommend you NOT to buy Z, because it have a big fatal "bug" with åÅäÄöÖ because the hardware-keyboard have problems with almost every office-editing software from the market, only the limited version of QuickOffice that come preinstalled can handle åäö properly when using the slideout-qwerty. It only give capital letters for ÅÄÖ, and the "solution" to close then open the keyboard again only result in only small åäö that do not become capital letters even when the shift-key is pressed. And the symbols ? and ! also very often do not work when pressing the function-key.

I've had this phone for a good couple of months now and for the ppl who are skeptical about the Z hinge, don't be. Everything has wear and tear and as ling as you don't treat your phone like crap then you won't have a problem with the hinge. Anyway, I've been wondering, are one of those two things on the top left corner of the phone a front facing camera? I've heard that 2.3 will enable some phones to use it when 2.3 comes out for that particular phone

I'm not sure when the Xperia Pro will be available in your area. It's not out yet, so there is not much hands on information regarding this phone.
The iPhone 4 is the oldest of the three you mentioned. It also has no physical keyboard. If you want a physical keyboard, there are some third party keyboards that you can purchase which would cost you even more money.
