Good: Great screen, speedy UI (little between it + HD), easy to use, keyboard itself is great

Bad: battery life isn't exactly bad, but needs charging every 1 or 2 days, hinge feels like it could wear out over time

Comment: Great phone on the whole with a couple of minor features which could use improving, but even they aren't all that bad. The 800mhz processor seems to be slagged off by other reviewers, however it really isn't slower than other phones such as the Desire HD. Great phone.

Good: Excellent interface, Sturdy build, Excellent keyboard... just about everything really

Bad: Maybe the battery life

Comment: I just got this phone, and I have to say, it's a great pleasure to use. The battery did drain quickly after heavy use (internet, music, texting).
About the z-hinge, I did read some reviews that said that the hinge build was a bit suspicious, but all I can say is, it's really sturdy, and the screen doesn't flop down, if you get what I mean. It does get a bit of getting used to, because it 'pops' out more than slides out, but the keyboard itself is excellent.
Got this after my friend told me that just about EVERYONE has a blackberry, and I should get a phone that 'stands out' from the crowd - and this phone certainly does that, by a million miles!
Everyone's jealous of it now :D
But yes, overall, this is an excellent phone!

Good: Slide out keyboard. Internet browsing. excellent for emails,social networking,texting.

Bad: Battery Life

Comment: Best phone I have ever had. Better than my blackberry curve 8520 what I had previously. I chose this phone over the blackberry torch and I must say that was not a mistake. I text everyday so its good for me

Good: Awesome web browsing experience, Android 2.2, User Interface

Bad: Slightly chunky but feels good in hand, you can't set the equalizer

Comment: The keyboard is very nice and great for typing and web browsing. Android 2.2 is great for gaming and there are loads of free apps. The 720p screen and camera are great for gaming, video recording and makes the screen very sharp. The htc sense user interface is helpful and you can find your phone when its lost or stolen. It doesn't feel that heavy in hand. Recommended for people who type a lot. Great phone.

Good: Excellent web capability, super fast apps, wonderful keyboard.

Bad: Sometimes unreliable at actually making calls and texts! Battery life.

Comment: Four months in and I don't regret a thing. If you want a super-fast, QWERTY, web focussed smartphone with a great screen this will do the trick. Like the two other Android Smartphones I've owned it can be flaky when it actually comes to making calls, and it's 'urban' in nature, try making a call on a hill in the drizzle and you'll see what I mean!

The battery life has let me down, but you only do this once and work out the powersave feature pretty quickly afterwards. The battery is not very good, but extra ones are cheap.

It's a great phone. Not perfect, but great.
