At official prices the iPhone isn't worth getting over the Galaxy.

Android is arguably a better OS (imo it is).

The screen on the Galaxy may look better in some situations but it's got less resolution spread over a bigger area so the Apple screen wins.

Android web browser is better than safari and proper flash means that the web experience is genuinely better.


thought the graphics chip and the processor on the iphone is secret? well just not actually explained what it is.


Hasn't it been confirmed that the iphones GPU is the PowerVR SX chip?

Desire is smaller, does have a flash if you wanted one, I'd go with it because of the size, best of going into a phone shop and seeing what you like the look of.

Galaxy has a better graphics chip but it's doubtfull if you'll ever notice.

They normally do, even if they have to open a box for you.

Desire HD will probably be massive like the Galaxy S which is the only problem.

fucking pmsl. I had a look at the galaxy and the thing is huge. then i had a look at the desire and it really is an ugly phone. if they made the galaxy as small or smaller than the desire then i would have taken that.
after everything ive said i still ended up with the iphone 4
