HTC Desire Z

The HTC Desire Z is an excellent smartphone, mainly due to a combination of Google's excellent Android platform and HTC's Sense UI. However, its biggest selling point -- the "pop-out" physical QWERTY keyboard -- has a poorly designed hinge mechanism that detracts from the handset's overall appeal.

Tarun Khanna's poor reception comments are irksome but it does make a good point. It is very difficult to find a review on a mobile phone that includes a comment on it's reception capability. In Australia, for many consumers, it is the number one criteria for a smartphone so one would expect an Australian reviewer would know this and include it in their review.
