Sounds Daft But Did...

I considered the Z and was definitely getting one but the main thing that changed my mind was how tricky it can be to get a good quality 'skin' type case for sliders. My first ever smart phone was a Nokia N85 and I went through loads of cases but they never fit well. I've got my Nexus One in a nice rubbery gel case with an anti glare screen protector so I'm hoping for something like that on the HD. The only thing I don't like about the HD is a lack of trackball which can make cursor positioning a frikkin' nightmare.

Thats what has put me off too..Decided to stick to the Desire HD order as

  • more ram
  • better camera
  • more accessories from the off

The Z does look nice. Bit chunky though.

I'm quite happy with an on keyboard so no need for it.

But it has the brushed metal, professional and mega expensive look.

really??
like.. seriously?? I don't know why you changed your mind... but anyway, I hope you're happy with whatever phone you end up with.

:)

I hadn't changed my mind, I was pondering it..convinced my next door neighbour to get it (he has more money than sense) sim free so i'll get to mess with it hehe

I would have got it but it's only a 5MP camera and not as powerful as the HD, Shame really, I wouldn't have minded a physical keyboard

I know right!.

my main concern with the Desire HD is that its all screen..something goes wrong and thats it.

Take into consideration my Hero screen is starting to die pushes a message out to insure..a first for me lol.
