The HTC Desire Z (also marketed as T-Mobile G2 in the US) (codenamed HTC Vision) is a slider-style smartphone developed by HTC Corporation and announced on 15 September 2010. It was released in Europe and Canada in November 2010, following a number of delays related to Google's quality assurance tests. Other than its slider configuration, the Desire Z features specifications similar to the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire HD. The design of the HTC Desire Z has capacitive face buttons rather than the mechanical ones the HTC Desire features.
According to HTC's Vice President Bjorn Kilburn, the phone is the last Google-Assured QWERTY slider to be manufactured by HTC.
