So it happened - after almost a year spent with Nokia N900 as a default phone, I have now switched to Android in the form of HTC Desire Z.
Being long-standing user and fan of Maemo (since N8x0), immediate switch to whole new platform naturally brings incentive for direct comparison, so here it is. Software OS In terms of platform in general, there's not much I could add to the post I wrote earlier, which was indirect comparison of Android and Maemo and I was quite strict pointing out lots of Maemo's pain points.
Shortly speaking, it's a no-brainer that Android's UI is exceptionally compelling, especially on as good hardware as Desire Z. Plus, there obviously is exceptionally easy to use Android Market with lots of excellent apps, very good web browser with Flash support (as in Maemo5), great cloud integration with various services etc etc etc.

High performance access to file storage Review HTC may have been making a bit of a splash with its Windows Phone 7 handsets of late, but that doesn’t mean it’s been neglecting its Googlephone products. The Desire Z, features Android 2.2 OS, plus a slide-out Qwerty keyboard and an HD video camera. The best of both worlds? HTC's Desire Z At 119 x 60 x 15mm and weighing a hefty 180g, the Desire Z is not a particularly subtle handset, due in part to its quality metal and rubberised plastic casing, and also the extra real estate of the keyboard.
The 3.7in capacitive touch screen sits above the usual four Android buttons (back, home, menu and search) on a touch-sensitive panel and beneath those is an optical track pad. Around the sides are a volume rocker, camera button and micro USB power/sync port with a power button and a 3.5mm headphone jack on top. Strictly speaking, the keyboard doesn’t actually slide out, since it’s mounted on a powerful hinge.
Milestone 2 - Android smart phone - WiFi hotspot connectivity - Tech Specs - Motorola Mobility, Inc. United Kingdom. HTC Desire Z vs Motorola Milestone 2 (aka Droid 2) The HTC Desire Z has been popping up all over the place in the last few months but the High Tech Computer Corporation of Taiwan has finally decided that their new QWERTY keyboard Android smartphone is ready to meet the public in an official capacity. Yes, the HTC Desire Z is here. But hold your horses Android fanboys the world over. Take your homework beyond HTC for a moment and you’ll remember that this isn’t the only slider keyboard of the Google OS persuation doing the rounds at the moment.
Not one month back did Motorola launch the QWERTY-based Motorola Milestone 2 aka the Droid 2. Form Winner: Milestone 2 116.3 x 60.5 x 13.7mm, 169g Loser: HTC Desire Z 119 x 60.4 x 14.16mm, 180g There’s not a hell of a lot in either the dimensions or the weight here but the difference is that the HTC Desire Z is just that little bit bigger all round.
You could argue that one handset is pretty than the other but we’ll have to leave that down to your personal taste. Display Tie: HTC Desire Z Engine Room. Motorola Droid 2 Review.
