(More customer reviews)I own this phone since the middle of December, and couldn't imagine owning another phone. I have to have a hardware keyboard or the phone is useless to me as I do a lot more than just talk on my phone. The keyboard on this thing i second to none, HTC really knows how to make a great phone keyboard. Within 2Hrs of owning it, I was back at my house and found on XDA, simple to follow instructions which unlocked, rooted (perm) and installed a custom ROM (Virtuous - Sense based). I use this thing heavily, wifi, tons of sms/email, bluetooth (Jabra BT3030 + NuForce NE-700X earbuds) so I can have awesome music quality while working. Installed Zagg Invisible Shield (full body) as soon as I got it.
This Z Hinge issue everyone is making such a big deal out of is not an issue at all. You really have to be TRYING to make it open on it's own, for it to open on it's own. I carry my phone in my pocket most the time. I mean seriously who carries their phone "while holding only the edges of the back?" That's right, NO ONE! You would be dropping your phone every 2 seconds if you held it like that... I've even dropped this thing a few times, and even then the keyboard didn't open on it's own.
This phone is SCREAMING fast when paired with a custom rom and a slight overclock (1Ghz). The phone is capable of 3000+ quadrant scores with a 1.7-1.9Ghz overclock (see XDA) and gets a very respectable 2200-2400 with a mild OC (1.2Ghz) on a Sense based ROM!!! That's freakin' awesome, and if you play any of the emulator rom games for psx/gba/snes, this makes gameplay smooth as butter! You have to be seriously trying to not like this phone. I will happily update after a few more months of heavy use.
Can't wait to get either a seidio or mugen power 1700/1800mah slim battery so I can go a couple days (heavy use) between charges, without having to change my battery cover! With the stock battery and custom rom + mild OC (1.2Ghz) + HEAVY usage, I get between 8-10hrs on a charge, which is very respectable considering how utterly blazing fast this thing is! There are some wonderful programs which can help you get a lot more out of your phone, Tasker, Juice Defender just to name a couple.
The only thing I would say was "poorly" designed would be the speakerphone speaker, while it's not that great, it does do what it is supposed to. Also, the placement of the camera could have been a little better, but the LED is SUPER BRIGHT for when you need to use your phone as a flashlight (for some reason that seems quite often for me... lol)
Other Thoughts: Please just understand people while I feel this phone is pretty rugged compared to how it LOOKS. It is still just a nicely built smartphone and is prone to all kinds of issues if you're not careful enough with it, I am in no way saying this thing is delicate... just common sense people, common sense.
