You might be forgiven for thinking the HTC Desire Z is the misunderstood second cousin in the HTC litter. When the Taiwanese manufacturer already has the Desire, the Desire HD, the Desire S and more, it’s hard to get your head around just why you should care about the Desire Z. But the Desire Z truly offers something the other models don't -- a physical keyboard. Is it enough to help the handset shake its family competitors off and pave a path of its very own through life?
The Desire Z fits squarely into what we are rapidly coming to know as HTC’s mobile phone design ethos. The handset is composed of black, silver and grey interlocking pieces, with some sections appearing to be hard plastic and some appearing to be aluminium.
Like the original HTC Desire – released in Australia in April 2010 – the Desire Z has five front-facing buttons underneath its brightly lit touchscreen – the standard Android home, menu, return and search buttons. Unlike the original Desire, these buttons are not physical but are embedded in the phone’s screen – they’re touch-sensitive and vibrate by default when you touch them.
There is also a larger button which is directionally sensitive and can be used to navigate around the phone’s interface if you don’t like touching its screen. Around the sides of the Desire Z are the sort of ports and buttons you would expect – volume controls and USB port on the left, camera button on the bottom right (the right spot if you’re holding the phone horizontally to take a shot) and a 3.5mm headphone jack and power/wake up button on the top.
On the back of the phone are its camera (with flash) and there are speaker grills littered around the place. We liked how easy it is to remove the Desire Z’s cell phone battery or change the SIM card, with a little toggle flipping open a compartment on its back.
