Specs wise, this phone is shaping up to be an exact clone of the HTC Desire Z, better known as the T-Mobile G2 here in the United States. Verizont’s version will feature the same second-generation 800 MHz Snapdragon processor (MSM7630), 3.8 inch display, 5 megapixel camera, 4 GB of internal storage, and slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
Yeah, this should not be classified as a desire z model,I was set on this phone from day one just for the slinding mechanism found in the G2, I have an upgrade 12/30 and I might wait it out, or i might pay 350 to end my contract just for the G2, and as Ash said, wheres the optical track pad? Except the 2nd gen snapdragon, htc merge mergeh’s right into an ordinary phone
The HTC Desire Z (also marketed as T-Mobile G2 in the US) is a smartphone developed by the HTC Corporation, that was announced on 15 September 2010 and was released in Europe and Canada in November 2010, following a number of delays related to Google's quality assurance tests.[3] The HTC Desire Z features similar specifications to the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire HD but is a slider.[4] The design of the HTC Desire Z has capacitive face buttons rather than the mechanical ones the HTC Desire features.
HTC Desire Z features a new improved version of HTC Sense and online services at HTCSense.com. It has a proximity sensor, a G-sensor and an ambient light sensor. The Desire Z has HTC's new Fast Boot feature, which is a type of sleep/hibernation mode instead of the traditional full power off, letting it power on in less than 5 seconds; a full boot can only be accomplished by removing the battery. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo.[5]
