G2 is not larger in memory.  Both Desire Z and G2 have 4GB internal storage, but only 1.5GB is available to the user.

The real difference is the G2 uses stock Android while Desire Z uses Android + HTC Sense UI, that's all.  Otherwise, it's all supposed to be the same.

heavy usage means you're gonna use up more battery! hello? my phone lasts 24 hours, but I don't use it very heavily. also, you shouldn't be draining the battery to nothing.

It's a smartphone with wifi, bluetooth and gps capabilities with constant syncing of facebook, twitter and whatever else you have running. The phone is always running, and that already uses battery. Add in heavy usage, and you expect it to last more than 16 hours? Seriously?

No need to argue about the battery life... it sucks, I'm using wildfire with my usage it can't last 16 hours of my working day but I don expect it to last that long with 3G on... the worst is I'm using gsm network also it won't last that long...
my usage it is sync company mail hourly, sms about 10 msg, about 2 hours talk time and small amount of time for gaming or surfing online... last till 5pm left 20% or worst 10% only...

I plan to get either desire z or hd. hopefully the battery life will be better...

Wah talk like that, as u know forum is for discussion...
For me, It defeat the smartphone purpose if u need to carry spare batt... Enuff said... A lot of ppl complaint about the battery life, means that is a fact, don mean that there is no such problem if it is enuff juice for u to last for a day or two...

I Jus thope there is a slightly better batter life for smartphone...

I don't think it's that we don't accept bad comments ... but make the comments reasonable. 16 hours on a smartphone that syncs emails, fb, twitter, wifi, gps and bluetooth, bad? Really? Even the mac airs don't last that long, and they run on ipod hard-drives!!

Otherwise, negative points of the phone by all means!

finally got my hands on desire Z!
Seriously a good phone!
Here's a pic to poison you guys..
Running on 2.2 android

he said around RM2200...
fren, their 16 hours use is nothing for a guy like me... average my wildfire can last me 12 hours on GSM network but not 3G, and my use is on heavy side and their kind of use is low to moderate...
try to surf net on your phone for 30 minutes u will see how fast the battery drops, especially those without mobile site or more simple site for smartphones... yesterday morning my battery drops 30%++ just from 8am till 12pm... coz i'm using chatting program (since 8am till 12pm), surfing agoda.com for hotels (about 45 minutes) and calling some one (about 30+ minutes)...
or download some attachment in emails and read documents and see... u will realise that the battery life goes down... and my phone brightness is not even 50%...
i duno why they don agree that we need a bigger capacity battery which make the phone last long... really another 200mAh really helps sometime but if it is heavier by 10g is it really important??? i used a Sharp 903 (JP Phone) b4, and it weights about 140g... and i don give a damn of it where i can get good camera and ergonomics value...

i think no need argue with them as they think their usage is great, but there is a lot more others ppl runing around outside needs more...
cheers...

it looks fragile, but as long as you don't make a habit of flipping the phone open and close for no reason you should be fine. the hinge is built to flip the phone open with the weight. Just don't stick your finger in it or whatever, or abuse it.


this is mine T-Mobile G2

Don't scare lar. The phone named as Desire "Z" for the iconic reason. The hinge is not made of plastic, it's made by some kind of metal and it doesn't seems to break easily.

you talking about me? I wasn't defending the hinge. I was telling you that your definition of scary is very big and kinda on the thoughtless side. Why build a phone whose hinge breaks at the smallest flip?

BuFung: Bro, we're all defending the phone becos we think it's not as bad as wat u think.

spunkberry: calm. all owners will know. He's not one of us yet. lol

Is it true that when the keyboard is closed, the whole phone feels 'wobbly' when using just the touchscreen? As in the connection of the top and bottom not firm enough, makes you feel there's minor space to move when you hold them?

wondering which telco will carry this... hows the battery life of Z compared against desire?

man i hope the desire z and dhd goes to maxis..

wanna get it with contract so its cheaper
