Nexus S beats DHD IMO. Better screen, very good battery life, front camera, Vanilla android, fastest O.S updating and a few more. Price wise too. All in all its still your choice but my vote goes to Nexus S and so does a few of our recommenders.

for me, strong points of Nexus S is nice screen, big battery and possibly faster software update if not the fastest. (there's front camera too for video call, but not something that i would be using unless can video call thru gtalk like facetime biggrin.gif)

HTC's strong points are slightly bigger screen, got microSD, more RAM, better camera and HTC have been using android for quite sometime already so i guess software update shouldn't be too far behind. (there's 720p video recording, but again, not something that i would be using often)

i didn't mention FM radio cuz i don't use that at all...so it's not at all a disadvantage for nexus or an advantage for dhd tongue.gif

Even if theres more ram, the Sense UI or any other launcher would eat up a portion of it. Vanilla UI consumes the LEAST ram compared with every other one IIRC. Software update would be fastest for Nexus S, then Nexus One/Desire line, SGS and so on. 720p recording is present in Nexus S too. HTC's screen is TFT which is ugly at that pixel(480x800).

Nexus S is cheaper. Coming in at $5xx. I have personally used the DHD and i find it smooth. VERY smooth. Thats on FroYo. With Gingerbread + Vanilla on the Nexus S i think it would be cream smooth.

Nexus S>SGS>Desire

For now, IMO, yes, one of the best entry smartphone. Although, the newly unveiled Huawei IDEOS X5 (not available in Malaysia at the moment) seems to outmatch it, IF the price is of the Optimus One's range.

Anyone has a rough estimation of the IDEOS' price?
