This analysis is all wrong.

1) The HTC Internal storage sucks...probably left 400MB to 500MB for internal user data. It is an Android pitfall...The Nexus S probably have over 1GB for internal app/storage like the Galaxy S...external card dun mean shit if your internal app space is full. Iphone probably have no such issues.

2) 8MP vs 5MP...no difference. Only an idiot will buy the MP story in this age. Small crapp image sensor with high Megapixel does nothing but creates more noise. HTC is known for crappy cameras. Samsung generally have superior phone cameras.

3) Hummingbird with 540 pawns the Qualcomm with Adreno 205.

The only real advantage i can think of is the 720p video recording, but if it's crappy like the HTC Desire 720p recording, then it's useless.

The only real advantage ever with HTC phones is the Sense UI....they simply cannot compete on specs with other phones.

1) Never had one Android before so don't really know the story.
2) Agree, smartphone/handphone camera always sucks, it may be acceptable but don't take it and use as your main camera.
3) Agree as well, if you read articles and reviews about it, definitely don't need explanation.
4) It is rated in 21fps, so regardless of the resolution, the video recording is still crappy, any video recording that is rated under 29.97fps which is the DVD rating, it sucks.
5) Nothing much need to say about it, that's the reason I wanted so long to have a HTC android phone.

Sigh. Oh well, what can i do now

hrmm i dunno about other phones, but my Desire Z retains its 1.1GB internal storage pretty well, which translates to 1.1GB of user data for me. The same will probably apply to the Incredible S as well. Users correct me please.

And the amount of apps to fill that 1.1GB space is quite a lot. The game data folder will most probably be stored on the SD card.

Not saying that 1.1GB is the point to stop increasing internal storage, but I think it shouldn't be a deterrent to purchasers.

1) When u use one, then u'll know...it's one of the Android's worst problem...you simply can't install anything once internal storage is full with apps and data cache.
2) yes, but HTC is super suck. I've used Samsung Omnia 2, SAmsung Wave 2 and HTC Desire. Samsung photos simply pawns all HTC including DHD. HTC camera tends to give bad color reproduction...red turns to purple...just plain bad.
3) Actually, 24fps video is pretty ok. Not sure about the IS, but my desire is hopeless in 720p....it lags in recording....useless. Compared to the butter smooth 30fps Wave 2....no fight at all.

But if you talk about overall usage experience, HTC Sense is still the best.

If you have 1GB is quiet ok, HTC Desire has only 120MB....some people reported DHD only has 400MB to 500MB...i doubt the DesireZ have full access to the 1.1GB...space still need to be allocate for OS and phonebook internal storage.
You should install the 'DiskUsage' app and see.

1) What I don't know is that how big is an app could be? Because in my Nokia 5800 case, there's only less than 100MB internal phone storage needed to store messages, contacts, apps and files. But Symbian apps usually used around average of 500KB to 1MB. So still consider okay and can store above 40 apps if you store files in Micro SD, so no big problem installing apps (Of course you still can install apps in Micro SD as well), so if you say IS have around 400MB to 500MB left, if apps only used around average 10MB to 20MB, I think that is still consider fine.

2) If you are not into photography and video recording, then nothing much need to say, if you are, then you know the difference.

Dude, newbies here, wanna ask ask abt the memory storage stuff. can u differenciate out which can b store on sd card and which have to store in internal memory? *from the pocketphone review, incredible S oni have abt 600MB nia* but not sure la~ @@ not a user yet~

A lot of apps can only be installed INTERNALLY in the internal storage. There's no way to move them (unless you do some hacks which can fool the SD card as internal storage....too much trouble and risk if you just want to use your phone). I can see in my HTC Desire...a lot of small small apps all cannot move...only maybe newer apps and none critical apps can move to external storage.

But with 600MB, the problem should be less prevalent then on my miserable HTC Desire.

DHD can read flash, can IS read flash?

i saw the review for both units. IS is almost same as DHD but just slight difference.

ouh~ thx thx~ den what is the avg size of those small small appz and critical appz?? 600mb is so so small le    y htc so stingy geh    so there is still some appz able to move to ext mem la? @@" hope those newer 1 able to storage in ext~

read ur previous post, seems like u have alot of unhappy exp w htc, come share share @@" bcz i m thinking wanna get IS @@"

guys this incredible s can't do 3g video calling, right. when make a call, there is no option to make a video call even though there is a front camera. i know for a fact that the samsung galaxy s can make 3g video calls.
