I have tried various phones with slide out qwerty keyboards, and this is my favourite so far. However, it is not perfect, for my tastes. I preferred the physical keyboard and the physical design of the old Nokia E90. The 'Z' hinge mechanism on the Disire Z is more of a gimmick than a sensible design. It doesn't open as easy as the Nokia E90, and doesn't benefit from the unlimited tilt-ability of the Nokia E90. However, the rest of the Desire Z works very well. However, battery life is short. I have to recharge it every day, even if it's only in standby mode most of the time.

whilst the phone is very responsive and does all the basic things it is also very frustrating as it wont connect to google play to download apps ,and wont even connect to market to download apps from there, added to the fact the battery drains at an alarming rate even with moderate use it makes this phone something i wouldnt recommend to anybody.

Bought as daughter wanted a phone with keyboard as well as touch screen and hates blackberrys. Battery life is poor if you use the phone to its full capacity but if you only use it for calls and texts then you can get a few days out of it. Generally good layout and easy to get to grips with. Quite chunky but robust. The sounds good for music and the photos come out clear and better than most phone cameras.
These phones are getting very old now but still a good back up spare,battery life is ok long as it's been changed for a new one,easy to use and for the money is good value l paid a tenner in 2021 for mine so for a £350-430 phone back in the day can't be bad ! so to round up.....no complaints this end.

All round OK..However not as user friendly as as the Blackberry Torch which is super easy by comparison. I cannot speak on what appears to be multi apps as my only real use is predominantly for business emails so if you want all singing all dancing it would seem to have it all - and more. Blackberry no longer supports eBay use so this was my choice for those aspects as well as wanting a compact slide out qwerty keyboard.
