I'm currently on the fence about which phone to get out of the Desire HD and the Galaxy S, and I have seen others asking which is better, I have compiled a list of pros for each phone. Can anyone suggest any others?
Galaxy S Pros:
Slightly Faster (mainly GPU I believe) (though with lag bugs atm but set to be fixed)
FFC
Probably better Sound Quality (the HD SQ is unknown but I have heard the Galaxy S SQ is excellent the HD has a lot to live up to).
Super AMOLED display.
Lighter
Potentialy massive aftermarket community (released on all 4 major carriers in the US and selling incredibly well elsewhere).
Headphone slot on the top
Potential for extended battery is higher with a removeable back
Higher internal Memory.
Available now
Swype Pre-loaded
Gorilla glass screen.
More pocketable (not by a lot, but it is smaller).
Better Video quality (some Desire HD video captures have been uploaded on XDA, general consensus is that they are not that great).
Desire HD pros
Probably better camera (mexapixels don't mean everything so we can't be sure)
Bigger screen
Regular pixel config not pentile matrix like on SAmoled.
Sense = better than Touchwiz
New sense features on top of this.
Nicer build quality.
Boot time
Made by a more reliable company.
Better GPS (presumably)
Extra Ram
Notification light (I think).
Camera Flash.
Potentially faster Data (14.4 Mbps down 5.76 up)
Pros of Both
Hot-swappable.
Unknowns
Battery life is unknown, SLCD may drain less battery but bigger screen + smaller battery.
