You're wrong. android ia a good o.s but there are some lacks wich are very unpleasant. it's impossible to choose one mp3 as message ringtone (not call ringtone)

Finally an Android device with Keyboard and Secondary camera.
Has anyone confirmed it has a GPU ?
The Adreno 205 I think is usually paired with the Snapdragon ?

I have had the HTC Desire Z for about 3 months and I'd say it is the phone you are looking for.
Tons of apps, excellent keyboard, Android, good camera. Dolphin browser is top notch.
It is perma rooted (& S-OFF) so I can do pretty much anything with the OS. N900 was good but it just doesn't compare to this phone.

just my 2c
I've had a desire Z, courtesy of my employer, for a week. I could have opted for an n900 but, sadly, felt it was too much of a dead-end given the uncertainty of Nokia's support.
My normal phone is a Nokia E71, and this D-Z is my first android device, I'd only borrowed them for a short while before, or run nitdroid on my n800 for a while, or android-x86, so it was a significant change in my experience of mobile.
There's a lot to love. Wifi, bluetooth, hi-res screen, keyboard, uSDHC slot, touch/mouse, good but not great camera, lots of apps, good build.
There's a few things which could be better: a number row on keyboard, a better speaker (E71 is better, n800's were the best), battery life poor compared to nokia, need to root device which is a "battle" betweeen hackers and HTC.
Overall, therefore I recommend it provided you consider carefully
1/ comparative battery life
2/ how much you want a pure hacker's device like the n900 vs a somewhat more packaged appliance like an android phone.

Root is always going to be a problem with anything but real-linux-based OSS systems. But there's a simple fix for the Desire/G2. Check out 'VISIONary' and look in the xda forums for plenty of info.
