Let me know how you get on with it Sam, will you?

.Griff. · Nov 22, 2010, 10:50:38

I love mine.

If you need any help let me know.

Rik · Nov 22, 2010, 10:57:22

Thanks, Griff - my particular interest is that I suffer from tremors, so using things like touch-screen satnavs is difficult for me, due to 'stutter', while normal phone keypads are too small, even Blackberries etc. I'm trying to find a phone which can cope with me.

I think battery life is what is important with HTC the new HD only has a 1230 mAh battery which is really odd, also seems the cover is not as well fitting as previous models, so it means turning stuff off, that's fair but you should not have to, I leave GPS on 24/7 and wifi and get two- three days with normal usage. I don't know if the Z model has a better battery. You cant increase screen size and have a 1ghz cpu and slim the battery down

form over function yet again.

Not quite me, MW. I want to look young and cool while actually being a boring old fart.

mrapoc · Nov 22, 2010, 13:05:29

which is why i took the normal desire

yeah maybe the z would be more suited for you? So far i'm going to try juice defender to extend battery. Not sure if the pro edition is worth it

Rik · Nov 22, 2010, 13:13:40

That's what I was wondering, Sam. I just want someone to test one for me.

mrapoc · Nov 22, 2010, 14:54:39

I shall report back how easily i can use the desire. Your best bet is to call into any of the high street storers and pretend you are going to buy. That way you can have a proper go on it

Rik · Nov 22, 2010, 14:58:07

A proper go for me, Sam, requires me to drop it several times.

Lance · Nov 22, 2010, 14:58:59

At least it wouldn't be your phone that you drop!

Rik · Nov 22, 2010, 14:59:33

It might be afterwards though.

Simon · Nov 22, 2010, 15:02:09

At least you'd know if it still worked!

Rik · Nov 22, 2010, 15:33:19

Or not.

mrapoc · Nov 22, 2010, 15:48:58

Id love to see that done in phones4u lol

Rik · Nov 22, 2010, 15:53:17

Come and watch, Sam.
