Could the HTC Desire Z be the next big thing in your business? Quite possibly! Having used this new HTC device over the last week I can see how it could very easily be a top business handset. Its speed, ease of use and fantastic QWERTY keyboard will keep any professional happy.
Business Advantages
The slide out keyboard may add an extra few grams to the phone, but it is a must for any business professional on the move. It gives you speed and accuracy when writing that all important email, text or blog! The keys are extremely defined and I have yet to hit one in error (something that happens all the time with me and on screen keyboards).

I wasn’t happy with the ‘clumpy’ design when the keyboard slides out at first. However I have now come to see the practicality and smoothness of such a design. This obviously then allows you to use the excellent 3.7″ screen, which I must says is crystal clear and the high resolution really does make a difference when viewing any form of media and surfing the web.

The HTC Desire Z also sports an integrated email inbox, similar, if not better than the Blackberry devices. This means you can have all your emails from several accounts delivered in to one inbox; it will even prioritise your more important emails to the top of the list automatically. You can easily distinguish which emails are from which account as they are all colour coordinated accordingly.
Desire Z Email
One thing that I didn’t like was the way the social networking apps interfered with my address book. Seeing all my friends pictures next to their name or when they called was nice, but it also added about a hundred new entries, if any of my friends on Facebook had their numbers attached to their Facebook profile it would download them and add them to my address book. People I don’t really know or haven’t seen in years in my handset is not really what I wanted. This was probably my fault for choosing a wrong setting, but I could not find a way to reverse it once it had been done.
This is definitely a phone worth checking out, as are the wide range of accessories for it. You can see what we thought of them in our Getting Started With The Desire Z blog.
