What I don’t like about HTC Desire Z

By , August 17, 2011 4:15 pm

htc desire z slide slider

  • The Z slider is tough to handle especially when one is in a hurry
  • The keyboard is too wide one can’t text with one hand
  • The phone is 12% heavier than a Blackberry Torch 9800

Overall, far from a phone for the texter.
