The HTC Desire Z, one of you, our lovely readers asked for a head to head between the HTC Desire Z and the Motorola Milestone 2. Our ears pricked up: what a good idea! So here it is, full stat clash between the Motorola and the HTC high end QWERTY offerings…
Screen The HTC Desire Z flaunts its 3.7-inch color-stuffed screen with 480×800 pixel resolution. In our review, we said it “looks like it’s keeping a rainbow hostage”. In comparison, the Motorola Milestone has a 3.7” 480×854 WVGA screen, and while it’s a good screen with a handful more pixels (but not enough to make a difference), the HTC Desire Z has that extra pop that puts it a head above.
Build and keyboard Slide out QWERTY keyboards can be flimsy, with just one knock splitting your phone in two, with one half flying under incoming traffic. The QWERTY keyboard on the Motorola Milestone is solid, its slides out, and doesn’t wobble around, and the keys are in good relief.
Operating system Both these devices run Android Froyo 2.2, but the HTC Desire Z has HTC Sense skin, while the Motorola Milestone 2 has its social network juggling skin, MotoBlur. But while MotoBlur is good, we’re not sure whether it really provides any noticeable advantages of using MotoBlur over official Android Facebook and Twitter apps. Battery life and under the hood
The Motorola Milestone 2 packs a nippy 1GHz processor, while the HTC Desire Z packs a slightly slower 800GHz processor. This might seems like a big difference, but in reality, unless you’re doing some heavy multitasking. News Source: www.electricpig.co.uk
