indeed, i was thinking that the desire has a battery life advantage or perhaps in another word it is improved now thanks to the SLCD. It is proven by tests that SLCD does uses lower power on daily usage such as web browsing which has more white compared to blacks.
what do u mean by me get 1st? mind explaining?

hahaha... coz u asked me get it wont regret mar... u not getting it also??

honestly, i tink the the galaxy S has a better chance to survive in the future, because mainly of its GPU and its proper multitouch(not the 2 points multitouch).. when and if better quality games come out, u will be able to play it without a problem.. coz the newer and upcoming HTC fones will mostly come with the newer versions of Qualcomm processors like the scorpion, and the scorpion will haf a much better GPU than the current sad GPU of the snapdragon..

so it only depends on whether u want to play 3D games on your fone, if you dont, then u can juz go for the desire. but if u do wanna play 3D games, then its a no brainer to get the Galaxy S.

i already have a galaxy S at home which belongs to my dad. If i want to play games anytime i can play it.. haha.. Thats y im not getting SGS. But i prefer HTC i guess. HTC Desire was a good daily driver to me, the best i guess. Having super duper graphics like too much on a phone like the galaxy S is not maxed out since there arent so many games which is only dedicated for a super duper power graphic processing phone. Even the desire can play what Galaxy S games can if its snapdragon/adreno optimized or capable.

Indeed. at first i thought that the SGS would have a low 2nd value like all other samsung products, but i guess for SGS it would be different unless the buyer and the seller is a no brainer =="

slcd wont be much of diff if not mistaken, the real question now, if you want to buy it through maxis, you wont be able to root, so can you live with that?
*
if u buy thru maxis, u still can root the phone, only that u void the warranty nia...
let say u sign up the package for 1 year under maxis, u can root the phone, but if anything happen to your phone (touch wood), then u hav to bear the cost.

Anyway, y u guys need to root? coz the 2.2 version is out d...u can update it when u buy ur phone.
i upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 a few days after i bought my htc =p

just sharing only! icon_rolleyes.gif

P/S: i personally like the samsung galaxy s widget coz of the 3d a like effect..when i compare samsung galaxy s, htc desire n iphone...
i still think desire n samsung won over iphone...
i hav no regret buying desire though...^^

hope u can buy ur choice of phone thumbup.gif

when compare at maxis centre side by side... i like desire more than SGS, SGS is just too big and plastic...

waiting my casemate come tmr....

still learning to use the phone... i really like desire interface with sense UI

just upgraded to 2.2 Froyo... so far so good...



maybe SGS can survive longer time... but at that time... probably more phone which more geng than SGS

no matter SGs or desire... i think the main isssue is the battery... right?

why battery?
if i own desire,i believe i can make it survive in 2 days(same as my SGS)
the main issue is which 1 suits u well..

yes, weak battery life is always de reason my customers complain to me abt desire.
got screwed many times over this issue,
"how to enjoy smartphone when u must always lower down brightness, disable this n that, etc?"
"why must i always carry spare batteries/chargers arnd? fone itslf ady takes up so much space in my pocket!"

so in de end, to help preserve reputation of my shops, and even de sales guys agreed with me to discontinue selling desire.

but i hv no experience with desire firmware 2.2 or samsung androids. hopefully can be better.
