The HTC Desire Z is a Latest mobile phone by HTC mobiles. The HTC Desire Z  is a bit of a heavyweight, but it does boast a 3.7inch S-LCD screen that proves brighter than Super AMOLED displays

HTC has a long tradition of Windows-powered business handsets, so it is not surprising that an Android powered one has appeared. While the Desire Z t-mobile has a respectable side, with its QWERTY keyboard, it also offers some fun with numerous media functions.

The newest phone Desire  Z weighs in at a quite hefty 180g. The battery sits behind a stainless steel cover that pops open when you press a spring-loaded button. The S-LCD display is 3.7inches, and proves brighter than the Super AMOLED displays. A narrow black bezel sits around its edge, and there are a total of four touch-sensitive areas for universal search, home, back and menu. The OK button takes the form of a black optical trackpad.

With the benefit of Google Maps and A-GPS, it has always been possible to use HTC Android handsets as sat navs, but now the HTC Desire review's has something new in the shape of a Car Panel app, which transforms the home screen into a sat nav dashboard, complete with nearby points of interest, links to your finish point, a history of places visited - and there's also a shortcut to the dialler, so it's simple to use the phone. There's a free 30-day licence for voice test navigation (we found the feminine voice quite soothing) but voice command is omitted. We did like the fact that you can put your handset in a car mount, android even if it's connected to neither a headset or car kit, the speakerphone will instantly turn on if you receive or make a call.

 The phone's five-megapixel snapper is better than the one that was included on the Desire - daylight images are particularly good, with warm bright colours and decent clarity. Video records at 720p.
 The HTC hd Desire Z's HTML browser supports Flash, which enables the user to see web pages as they would appear on your desktop (and that includes embedded video), which puts it ahead of the likes of the iPhone and Windows 7 devices.
