HTC Desire Z deals on contract
The very first Google Android smartphone of all was the T-Mobile G1. This handset was manufactured by HTC and featured a full slide out QWERTY keyboard. While HTC have made a number of Android powered smartphones since then, including the HTC Desire and Google Nexus One, the release of the HTC Desire Z marks HTC’s first return to QWERTY equipped handsets since the very beginning.
The HTC Desire Z features a bright 3.7 inch TFT capacitive touch screen with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution. An 800 MHz Qualcomm processor powers the device, which has 512 MB of RAM and 1.5 GB of internal memory (expandable to 33.5 GB with micro SDCards). The chassis has a curved and sleek look, constructed from solid aluminium, and the handset takes its name from HTC’s new “Z-shaped” pop-out mechanism for the full QWERTY keyboard.
As well as the touch screen and pop-out keyboard, the phone houses an optical track pad beneath the screen, an accelerometer and GPD. A 5 megapixel camera and a full range of connectivity options (including Wi-Fi, GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and micro-USB) complete this impressive handset. Shipping with Android 2.2 Froyo, the HTC Desire Z is ultimately a high end smartphone which packs every feature and function a user could want.
