I think we may see more qwerty phones from HTC... I've had a nexus one for about half a year befoe switching to desire z, mostly for the qwerty keyboard, soft keyboard had big problems on the nexus one and most of all it often covers all the screen
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
The average joe wants an iphoneish style smartphone. That's what every popular manufacturer is going to make. We're going to see little H/W keyboard phones and I doubt any of them will have an S4 or a T3 SoC on it. Even if those actually come out too they won't have a dev scene such as the DZ's.
Just diappointing.
Well, this clears out my doubts about not choosing a new qwerty phone. Even though I like my Desire Z I still feel the keyboard is a step back compared to the Dream/G1, which was far more comfortable and felt sturdier.
This sucks,
HTC should release the HTC One Z as soon as possible!
If HTC does think i buy a new phone without a keybord!
Hé than you are wrong! I will do another year with my Desire Z.
You are totally right about that, I almost forgot! But I'll never get used to the way our qwerty forces us to write numbers, try to dial an ip address: right Fn+1, left Fn+9, right Fn+2, Dot...I liked the 5 row keyboard on the G1, but the massive lump at the bottom/right hand side which you had to get used to being in the way sure was a pain. I find my DZ more natural and comfortable to hold.

But then I wouldn't be able to write the dot (at least on my Italian keyboard, I don't know how the english one works), and I would have to press Fn to go back to non-special chars, then the dot, then Fn twice to write the numbers - either way, it isn't great
The G1 was released in October 2008 for Tmobile
The G2 was released in October 2010 for Tmobile
The G3 will be released in October 2012 - hopefully with a full number pad on the Qwerty.
If this does not happen, you can count Tmobile and HTC as both just plain stupid because a lot of people will probably be finishing up their 2 year commitment from this phone and ready for the next one.
Voila... 98 full qwerty keyboard android devices. A plenty to chose from.
