I like the look of the one with the pop out keyboard!

My mate just bought one of these (obviously not the new one yet to come out

) with "3". With his last two phones they had a full signal, but with this he gets 1 bar at best and no signal the rest of the time. Quite strange really!

Well depend on the algorithm used to calculate the signal strength Niall (there goes that issue again), it maybe more conservative than the other handsets.

Simon · Sep 17, 2010, 10:50:12

That would be silly, Glenn.

Glenn · Sep 17, 2010, 10:50:30

Rik · Sep 17, 2010, 10:53:12

Notice he didn't say he wouldn't, Glenn.

Simon · Sep 17, 2010, 11:18:22

If anything, if would be the one with the keyboard.

Rik · Sep 17, 2010, 11:27:22

We understand.

But to which one?

Simon · Sep 24, 2010, 11:33:38

You'll need to try both, Glenn.

netn00b · Sep 24, 2010, 11:34:52

that Glenn is the 64 million dollar question !

i want a big screen so the HD sounds awesome with its 4.3"one.......does the Z have the same size screen ?

Not sure i am bothered about a keyboard - either it will be realllly small or make the phone to bulky....

am quite happy with touch screen typing on my current Desire....

You probably will.

Glenn · Sep 24, 2010, 11:39:13

The Z has the same screen as the original Desire.
