Here are the camera specs: Camera-Yes, 5MP Camera Also Has HD 720p Video Capture Geo-Tagging-Yes, Advanced 5MP Digital Camera Uses Integrated GPS To Tag The Location Of Your Photos Self-Timer-Yes Video Capture / Camcorder-Yes, 5MP HD 720p Camcorder Captures Videos To Share Via Multi Media Messaging on a 3.8" 480x800 WVGA display screen. Hope this helps

  • Moby dick phone. Ive heard this phone be called the white whale nd it is a beuty. This phone has a lot of high end stuff nd an amazing fold out keyboard for not a half bad price tag. Everything always works nd the phone always stands up to the challenge good amount of processing nd memory. Good camera nd everything but has a really bad battery life. Be prepared to carry a charger with you seriously worst ive seen ever. Also very durable phone abuse will rarely hurt this phone at all. I give this phone an 8.5 it is an amzing phone through nd through but battery life will eat at a nerve sometimes

  • I have this phone and I luv it!! I've used manu many phones and this is the best! The battery life on 3G is the only bad thing..... but othr than that this phone rox! It is very fats! The QWERTY keyboard is good and amazing! The phone is good and it has a great memory capacity! I have used this phone for sumtime and I have had only one problem it is the battery on 3G..... othr than that its is the best phone in the world!

  • can this phone be used as a a pre-paid phone???

  • can this phone be upgraded to ICS??

  • this is a great phone,super fast,good batt life. this is awsome.but the problem is with the gingerbread upgread. when it on 2.2 phones internet browser speed is awsome,but after uograding to 2.3 us celluler one. oh i cant even use the facebook app also. but the hotspot speed is normal.

  • mmh cant decide wether if i should get htc merge or htc desire z?? both phone are idential, please help!! i'm always using my phone, txting, phoneing & social networking and browseing you name it im addicted :)

  • While the phone seems work okay, I had to have it replaced as the OS kept resetting the phone. Also, I was getting dust under the screen. After 4 days of having the replacement, I am getting dust under this one as well... I hope Verizon will do something besides replace this phone with the same model again.

  • got mine two days ago, and the battery life complaints are absurd. ive had to charge once after the initial charge with heavy usage of pandora,youtube,standard internet, and other battery draining things. the phone is amazing, especially for its price as a mid range smartphone.

  • I purchase one in Guo Mei ,shenzhen ,huaqiang bei this model .but one day after i find that this model over-heat . and battery can only last for 2 hours !then finished . the problem is when i request to change new piece,Guo mei not agree and HTC shenzhen service attitude is too bad ! i can not get through the service number 0755-83762553 until i try at least 50 times ! and when the result is come out ,i was told that this phone is okay !! HTC service center people no any responsiblity . if you want to purchase ,please do be careful

  • nice phone!

  • Actualy i don't see a touchpad

  • none just different names depending on where you are in the world

  • Whtz the prize ???

  • can any one tell me the difference b/w HTC desired z and HTC Merge

  • i lllooooooovvvee it. how much is it? will it work in nigeria?

  • how much is it??????????????????????????????????????????????­????????????????????????????????????????????????­????????????????????????????????????????????????­????????????????????/

  • please tell me the price of it...

  • It should work with any sim. It depends from where you buy it.

  • Please does the htc merge work with any simcard world wide......i am in ukraine and want to buy the htc merge

  • good but the parts are not available

  • its useless

  • Almost 200 grams?This is heavy... And by the way,it is almost the same as Motorola Droid according to the specifications,except amount of RAM(processor can be overclocked,so that it does not matter,because at 800MHz can run normally on Moto)and Droid is from 2009...

  • There's nothing wrong with the Desire Z keyboard, the layout on the Merge is different. That's the only difference between the keyboards.

  • Is nothing like Desire Z. keyboard is not screwed-up in this one.

  • To be honest, this is exactly the same as a Desire Z. The only difference is the design and this has a 3.8" display. This is a Desire Z, but made for Verizon

  • The US Cellular HTC Merge comes with an 8 GB SD card.

  • most beautiful phone i ever seen

  • Man was looking at the desire z but want this now. Will it ever be available in the uk?

  • This phone is amazing. IMO its the best looking phone from HTC, quite different and something new. Quite bold as opposed to the generic look of the Desire Z etc, but it still looks elegant. The phone is also great to use, amazing performance, all the latest apps and games are handled with ease. The keyboard is one of the best out there. I am highly looking forward to getting this rooted as thats when the true capabilities of this thing will be unleashed.

  • Much better than desire Z.Looks better and does not use the that stupid hinge.Just simple sliding.

  • OMG! This phone just goeson pre order in India. Price is 35000 Rs./$778. Can anyone tell is it true or false?

  • how much is this phone going to be?? anyone know? thanks

  • i thought it was gsm also?

  • This kind of reminds me of my Desire-Z, just not quite as good looking if you ask me personally. It's I guess it'll be like a CDMA variant of it. From the specs I've been able to find it just has a more potent processor, and spec more along the lines of the Incredible line up. Which isn't that impressive since my stock Desire-Z feels a lot smoother. They ditched that stupid "Z" hinge thing which is my only complaint about it. I'd just go with a the Z as opposed to this and save some money, the differences between the two aren't significant enough.

  • It looks very similar to the Desire Z.

  • Check the HTC Desire Z,it has several things in common with this one such as form factor and hardware qwerty keyboard,both are nice if you ask me

  • Seriously? It looks like pure shit,I guess it´s headed to the states,they seem to like this kinda crap,looks like a car-stereo from the 90:s

  • Never seen HTC like this... nice change..
