QUOTE(sbd @ Mar 22 2011, 12:04 PM) 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. this is what i find funny for IS... if there are front camera and it is not usable for Video calls, it is pointless... maybe their future upgrade of OS will enable video call for the front camera? (any news about this upgrade? or is it really impossible to do it?) |

(any news about this upgrade? or is it really impossible to do it?) yes.. i heard news video call is coming to android... b patient...  quote from wikipedia QUOTE The mainstream Android version does not support video calling, but some handsets have a customized version of the operating system which supports it, either via UMTS network (like the Samsung Galaxy S) or over IP. Video calling through Google Talk is planned for Android 3.0 (Honeycomb). This post has been edited by llobak: Mar 22 2011, 12:11 PM |

The htc IS has 1.12 GB for you to install apps - that is a lot of space. After I install all my apps ( nearly 80 ) there is still 845 MB free. You need not consider any apps2SD option with so much space. For heavy data aassociated apps eg dictionary, references and games - all additional such data will be auto install on the ext sd card

(any news about this upgrade? or is it really impossible to do it?) I don't think it has anything to do with OS; the Galaxy S when shipped with 2.1 can do video calls. This was almost a year ago. Of course Nokia phones have been doing this for years now. |

^ ^It is the OS. Android does not currently natively support video calls despite supporting 3G internet and voice calls. Pretty ironic considering a popint in the Android vs iOS squabble is Facetime which only works in WiFi.
I guess in the world where everyone has a data and voice plan, it's not hard to request the other party to install some app to enable video call thru data connection. But then it'll block out all non-androids. lol.

Stock android doesn't have this function yet, which HTC didn't follow Samsung footstep to develop this function. |

QUOTE(Matrix @ Mar 22 2011, 10:01 AM) 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. except that you forgot its RM 500 more...

JUst only a day using this htc incredible s , I must say in terms of performance, outclass my previous Galaxy S ( modded with voodoo lag fixes and froyo). There is virtually no lag in it unlike the Galaxy S. The SLCD display is beautiful, clear and colors great and is much better than my present Galaxy Tab. GPS lockup is close to immediate - tested with both Papago X5 and Sygic Aura this morning
As like all previous HTC I have used, volume is too low /soft for notifications, videos and music

Still....the cheap shiny plastic at the back pretty much kills all sense of elegance on a RM2.5k phone lol. Besides, updates are faster on the HTC than on the Samsung.

It is very soft and fragile - taking it off I worry it will break , not well designed |

Besides, updates are faster on the HTC than on the Samsung. people don't realise the "cheap shiny plastic" back cover is designed like that to make the phone light and indeed the samsung galaxy s is one of the lightest (if not the lightest) 4" phone out there. There other thing to consider, the lighter your phone is, the less damage it will suffer when it takes a fall. A very nicely built Nokia N8 with one piece aluminum construction is very nice to look at and hold but if you drop it, chances are it will suffer more damage (due to its mass) that a plasticky Galaxy S. |

Once a day? Talking back at the touching feels of the back, it is totally personal preferences. |

Talking back at the touching feels of the back, it is totally personal preferences. That means before I buy, I have to go and touch it first.. hmm.. damnit.. But i feel the built of the Desire is also thin aluminum. What really matters is actually the internal durability I tink. My old BB, plastic bag, drop tons of times, still working great  |
