Theres some SGS vs Desire threads in the SGS section, and people have been leaning towards the SGS(its in the SGS section after all!),so I wanted to get some perspective here.
The points that I can see SGS above the Desire are:
-More ROM to install apps
-Has internal memory (8/16Gb)
-Better screen- supports true multi-touch, and not Desire's dual-touch
-1Ghz +dedicated GPU= no lag at any current apps/games.
-thin and lighter
-DivX support
-Free Document editor without having to buy Documents to GO etc.
-720p video and better camera- even with no flash, its night mode is impressive. Yes- I've seen photo samples, and SGS is definitely better.
Now the bad points..
-Honestly- bad built. Reeally ugly buttons. Huge Home button wtf?
-I'm in doubt about Samsung giving the SGS Froyo. (aka SGS= no adobe flash)
-a tad big...why are high end phones so big? I don't really see big screen as a good point.
-Only 3 buttons- menu is sacrificed for Search function, instead of calling up keyboard.
-no LED notification.
Non-issues include Sense UI as Home launchers can easily replace. HTC's widgets likewise can be replaced by current and future apps.
But those above are just 'on paper' and own opinions. To Desire users, whats your opinion- if money/carrier was also non-issue, would you swap the Desire for the SGS?
And if not what stops you so (ignoring my non-issues please).
If someone who has used both can also give some opinion it would be nice.
I am coming from a Legend (using Openhome). I take HEAPS of photos/video, surf alot, SMS alot and would like to play some better games on my phone. I rarely use GPS (just discovered wonders of Layar though, but not dependent on it for real purpose).I also like to have a good looking phone bu from my perspective both the Desire and the SGS are pretty similar in my 'looks scale'. Coming from a Legend user who chose Legend even after Desire came out! (not regretting- but just saying, Legend def. looks the best of all Androids out IMO).
thanks for input!
