HTC Desire Z Philippines : Price, Complete Specifications, Photos

Just posting more information about what I think is the best Android slide-out full QWERTY handset in the world today.



HTC Desire Z is the Taiwanese company's current Android Slide-out flagship phone and being the leader of the pack, this handset comes with top-notch features and specifications. Flaunting a gorgeous 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen Super Clear LCD display, HTC Desire Z runs Android 2.2 operating system skinned by HTC Sense with its 800 MHz Scorpion CPU. It sports a 5 MegaPixel camera with LED flash and Autofocus, which also shoots high-definition 720p videos, and features a microSD card slot that supports up to 32GB, 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB port, accelerometer, digital compass and proximity sensors. As for connectivity, HTC Desire Z supports Wifi, Bluetooth and 3G.



Compared to HTC's other high-end releases, the real selling point of HTC Desire Z is its slide-out full QWERTY keyboard. Sporting island-style keys that deliver great feedback, HTC Desire Z's keyboard makes typing emails and messages and updating status on social networking sites a lot easier and faster.

HTC Desire Z supports the new HTCSense.com service. With HTCSense.com, users can manage their smartphone experience from their personal computer. For example, using a PC, users can easily locate a missing phone by triggering the handset to ring loudly, even if it's set to silent mode, or to flag its location on a map.

If your HTC Desire Z's been lost or stolen, you can remotely lock the phone, forward calls and texts to another phone, send a message to the phone to arrange its return or even remotely wipe all personal data from it. HTCSense.com makes it possible and totally easy to setup a new HTC phone or access archived mobile content such as contacts, text messages and call history from a PC. You can also customize your HTC Desire HD with exclusive HTC content like wallpapers, HTC scenes, plug-ins or sounds.

HTC Desire Z is now available in the Philippines. Its official suggested retail price is PhP 30,800 (as of March 15, 2011).
