I was once asked by an office mate, why HTC Desire? why not Samsung Galaxy S? When I decided to buy an Android phone, most of the suggestions I received was to buy a Galaxy S phone 
Well, I always buy my gadgets based on my needs. I make sure to define and layout the things that I want and search for the ones that fit them.
Based on research and reviews from all over the net, It is the HTC Desire that fits my needs and my personality perfectly .
In case you are in a dilemna of finding your perfect smart phone, consider this post as a compilation of what I had read from websites, blogs and forums about the most wanted smart phones today.

Verdict
We like what we’re seeing here: three smartphones that really offer a shedload of hardware for your cash.
i had the same problem before i got my phone. inisip ko rin mag samsung galaxy s. inaamin ko na masmaganda sa features ang samsung kasi:
* faster ang processing nya – playing doom in samsung is alot smoother than in the desire (pero im not into playing games)
* capable mag video call ang samsung galaxy s, sa htc desire walang video call – pero i never did use this feature on my old phone, and besides i have a second phone that can do video calls naman so i can just use that incase i need it
* mas magaan ang samsung galaxy
* malaki ang internal memory ng samsung galaxy spero pinili ko parin mag desire dahil:
* when i saw my friend’s galaxy, gawa lang pala sa plastic yung phone, it felt so cheap on my hands, parang hindi worth 32,000
* samsung does’t support their phones. I got a samsung jet august of last year, and until now wala silang nilalabas na new widget for it or any software update. baka pabayaan din nila yung galaxy. buti pa ang desire may froyo update, ang samsung wala (pa) at hindi ako sure kung magkakaron
* i dont like the icons ng galaxy, parang trying hard maging iphone kasi naka box din yung icons, plus pa side din yung sweep ng icons nila, parang sa iphone
* ang daming murang samsung na phone, and if my phone looked cheap because of the plastic, people might think na cheap din cya. iba kasi yung feel ng htc, rubber and metal siya kaya mukhang mahaltingnan mo muna kung ano mas importante sayo. kasi i think both have their selling points, depende na sayo yon kung ano yung mas mahalaga sayo

Here’s another update before I go home:

HTC Desire vs Samsung Galaxy S – the uber-powerful showdown
Video comparing Desire and Galaxy S – Quake2 Running test
Galaxy s and HTC is way better than an Iphone 4. I have all units as Im a tech head. Samsung wins on simplicity and power hands down. The desire HTC is sweet. Iphone 4 is just good, nothing new but a flash. GALAXY S wins hands down. Dont have to go to Greenhills to get apps when Samsung Android market is all free and not to mention forums were you can get paid apps free!
I chose the Desire because the Galaxy looks too much like the iPhone 3G. I don’t want friends telling me, “ay you bought an iPhone 3g? Why not a iPhone4 na lang?”
I’m glad I chose the Desire!
I think the reason why most people recommend the Galaxy S is because it’s more popular than the HTC phones. A lot of people talk to me about the Galaxy S as well, but they don’t even know the features. They just heard about it.
