                  [deleted post]In that case go for the LG Optimus 3D, HTC EVO 3D, or maybe Galaxy S II. Speaking of Battery capacity. But still the battery live depends of the usage of the phone. Desire S (Incedible S, Desire HD, and most of the HTC aluminium body phones) have death grip when you touch the back, left side of the phone next to the speacer. Two fingers are enough to drop the wifi signal to zero. But over all considering the price of desire s, it's still the best single core phone in the market yet.

                    I had a big confusion on which phone to buy, and finally i landed on HTC Dsire S. I bought HTC Desire S almost a week back and im soooo happy with it, its a awesome phone. the Display is very good, and the phone is very fast, never seen a lag.

                    It the better phone than Sony ARC or Any of the galaxy series.

                        First of all. Nexus S is developer phone. It's pure Google device by Samsung, (kind a rooted by default) With Super Amoled display! In general it's pretty good phone!
                        Very bright display, with much better color contrast than Desire S.
                        But!
                        Hardware specifications are pretty the same. Even tough Desire S has bigger ram memory than Nexus S.
                        Buy the way Nexus S has better GPU than Desire S.
                        The benchmark scores are pretty the same on both devices.
                        But when we are talking about external design?
                        Desire wins in any way.
                        Aluminium chassis, better fit in hand. Also smaller display 3.7 compared to 4.0 of Nexus S, but with more pixels per inch, and also warmer colors.
                        And if we stop on the UI?
                        Nexus S almost doesn't have UI at all.
                        And compared the pure google UI to the Sense UI of HTC?
                        The experience of pure Google Gingerbread UI in Nexus S can't be compared over the Sense in all HTC devices.
                        All that we want from HTC now is, somehow to fit the Sense 3.0 in our device in some next OTA update.
                        Now you can decide which phone to buy. Is it gonna be Nexus S from Samsung or Desire S from HTC!
                        Almost to forgot to tell you how week is the build quality of the Samsung devices.

                              Guys, I would like to know if the Desire S has support for Adobe Flash Player in web pages because on the Adobe website on the list of compatible phones (please check it out ; sorry I forgot to copy the url) the Desire S was not on the list. In other words, can it load Youtube videos straight from web pages. I am looking to get the phone in a few days time and I am really looking forward to getting it.

                                [deleted post]Desire S is very nice and compact phone , having good connectivity and Data Transfer rate is far better than other phone as u can compare the hardware difference with other phone in this range.
                                3.7 screen give u compact design to carry and better resolution than 4.2 screen at same set of pixel, its clarity is almost close to Iphone4.
                                Scrolling is smooth.
                                camera is average.
                                Build quality is superb.
                                Biggest Drawback is screen visibility in sun light is poor.
                                Don't know how other phone in market are behaving.. so plz go thru it.

                                      [deleted post]Desire S can switch to front camera from the Camera app, also With the new update, the Talk app can make video call now, Also the new Skype app can use the front facing for video calls. You can use the integrated VOIP system for video calls as well.
                                      Other third party apps can use the front facing camera for video calls to.
                                      Apps like: Tango, Fring, ooVoo, and etc.
                                      So don't worry about the front facing camera.
                                      Also the design of Desire S is 1000's time better then Optimus Black.
                                      The only problem is the small display, only 3.7, but that's the reason why this phone is so compact, and lite. :)

                                        [deleted post]I don't know where they got those false info. I am an owner of Desire S.

                                        First, this device is one of the few devices which supports two-way Skype video calling. You can check it from the android market. I have not yet tried video calling through 3g.

                                        Next, it is not true that only through mirror app that you can use front camera. you can switch to front camera using the cam app and you can use it to take pictures.
