ok i'm a just a regular guy like anyone outside there who hasn't landed hands on any smartphones , most of my buddies are using Iphone , so of course i've played with it , but not HTC or any other brands ...

I'm actually deciding whether to get the new Iphone4 or HTC , so i hope forumers here can highlight without me going over so many pages ...

my basic needs for my smartphone gonna be :-

- clear calls , as in voice are sharp and clear
- checking emails are priority
- SMS are priority as well as a communication between client and I ...
- easy to use interface , without me thinking much where to press or where to choose when in need of a function.
- i need to write a lot of short notes especially
- FB and MSN is an added bonus
- durability as well , as i'm always on the go , i do have rough movement at times , so i want the phone to be slightly tougher while in my pocket.

i guess that's all i can think off and i hope ppl who had own both phone can really help me out , i'm not really a tech guy but i prefer a phone that work for me and not vice versa ...

thanks in advance ...

hmmm not going to get something outdated .. hehe , since got a choice a new phone to replace my current one.

i'm going 2 have intensive reading of Desire and IP4 ... desire seems to have the upperhand

thanks for the explanation in detail especially , i'm kinda skeptical with samsung no offence , as i read somewher that although the OS is by android but samsung's integrated software is not that feasible ...

or i could be wrong , so it will stand on
ip4 vs desire vs sgs

yes u truly hit the point , my work doesnt evolve around the computer , so i wont have so much time to update myself on new apps and such , so i would prefer something without much hassle out of the box and ready to hit the day with me ...

learning to use a smartphone is a definite , albeit i had one last time , the 02 executive with windows platform , that didnt last long for me b4 i got rid of it and going back to my old SE K750i , but nowadays i'm limited to the wide usage of internet while on the go ... therefore i would prefer something steady , reliable and price wise competitive , i think now it just boils down to

Desire or IP4 ,
RM2050(sg set) for the ip4 and rm2199 for desire(local set) ... both share the close usage of my need , but desire lacked in the 16gb although i can always upgrade it. ah well , best is get out there and try both phones , i can do it for the HTC but ip4 ... let me get a person who has it and test it out ...

you guys been very helpful but i guess i've made up my mind , now after have the fundamental understanding of android OS , i'm not really a geek person who can spent some time doing reading and researching ,

out of the box , and straight to the point i guess i have to favor more to ip4 on that , thanks for all the feedbacks but one day if it permits i will try the android ...

really appreciate the comments and suggestions ...
