        Matt, 27 Apr 2010Samsung S8500 or HTC Desire????s8500 for sure! I've been testing out the Nexus one (same hardware, but US/Canada branding) for a few days now, it definitely has some reception issues and touchscreen acts weird sometimes

                      No doubt Samsung is doing a good job when it comes to cell phone hardware? Problem: poor OS lack of features, no apps.
