desire z rom version of 1.34 and 1.72 have an unlocked bootloader.

1.84 is locked, but easily downgrade and enjoy unlocked bootloader's features.

how does one tell which version one has?.........sorry for noob questions....

also, these higher capacity batteries advertised above, anyone used before, and does it really significantly increase usage time?........i average 3 days pure gsm phone use, and 1 day with heavy 3g/wifi use..........

Of course it's a non-issue if one is not interested in rooting the phone. But then again if one isn't interested in the rooting business then one would've went with an iPhone already. :-D

that is not always true......i have no intention of hacking or rooting my phone, but my dislike of apple is such that i will never buy apple propriety products........

my phone is vital to my work, hence i cannot ever allow the phone to die and loose all information, so i will not ever root it, don't see the need to either..........however, if it ever become a spare phone, then maybe......

i had a bad experience with upgrading wind mobile 6.0 to 6.1, so i fear the worst......... smile.gif

it is available from htc shops, no monopoly by maxis......in any case, it appears not popular, the few maxis outlets i asked all don't keep stock.....

the original set price from htc outlets is still officially rm1999 i think....but maybe can get a few hundreds off........

but 1 month ago, ap sets was quoted at rm1250......if it has dropped to about rm1000, it is very good value for money.......

Serious? I asked a few HTC outlets in LYP, and all asking me to get the phone from Maxis, as they're not selling Desire Z ...

it's not popular, so they probably decide not to stock.......especially when ap sets undercut them so much.......i would just get the ap rm1050 set then pay rm1800 for a 'legit' set.......

it's the only htc with physical keyboard, so it will continue to be on sale, till a replacement comes out....

and i still got no notice of 2.3 upgrade.....does the fact that it's an AP set from uk anything to do with this?......
