Hey, the galaxy S plus is not available in my country. As far as the optimus black is concerned, I do not like it. Stupid phone. audio quality is not good and I do not prefer LG brand.


the galaxy S plus and the galaxy S both have 512 memory and the graphics processor of the galaxy S is more powerfull than the Galaxy S plus. (PowerVR 540 > Adreno 205).

Go with the Galaxy S! Tried both - Galaxy kicks Desire's shiny aluminum case (pun intended )... I'm aming to buy myself one if I get some extra cash soon...

hey,

I bought myself a samsung galaxy S i9000. I was also confused between the desire S and the galaxy S but atlast I made the decision ( and a correct one too). The phone is fast. It comes pre-installed with gingerbread 2.3.3. Trust me, you will love the AMOLED display. the SLCD displays of desire S are nowhere near to the super AMOLED of the galaxy S. watching movies on it is too much fun. the phone has a better graphics processor compared to the desire S.

take my word, go with the Galaxy S i9000. You will be happy with it.

I wonder why have you made it a sticky post. What took you so long to decide between the two. Are you still stuck in there?

I just had a run in with my friend's brand new Desire S a while ago, and the Display on my Galaxy SL is even better than the one on the HTC. Or it could be because of his "fingerprint repellant" screen protector though.

You'll never get a phone if you keep worrying about ICS updates for these two phones. No one knows, and since ICS will only be released for Nexus devices later this year, it will be still next year before we learn which of the two phones will get ICS.

The only phones we know to most likely get the ICS updates are the dual core beasts like SGS2. The single core phones like Desire S and Galaxy S are still on question.

How did you get a preinstalled Galaxy S with Gingerbread? This is not a Nexus S or Galaxy S Plus, or is that phone a preloved one that someone has already flashed an update to it?

 

[chanchan05]

Yes, international versions only.

 

[livetech2]

Yes, international versions only.

hey how much RAm is available to user in Galaxy S?

its around 329 MB user available RAM after gingerbread is installed on it.

and regarding the gingerbread, I bought this as a new phone. Its the international version GT i9000 and yes, gingerbread came pre installed on it.

If the Galaxy S came with Eclair or Froyo, I would have definitely picked the Desire S over it. But if the Galaxy S came with Gingerbread, I would give it the advantage over the Desire S, though not by much.

Frankly my experience with HTC has been quite solid while the Galaxy S is haunted by software issues in its Eclair form. I only got my Galaxy S updated to Froyo and never the chance to move to Gingerbread since I gave it since to my daughter who didn't have a problem with it since then. I do have the Nexus S, which is actually a Galaxy S in another form with the vanilla Gingerbread, and Gingerbread finally completes the broken piece in the design. It is so much better phone than the Eclair/Galaxy S, despite having virtually identical specs and hardware except for the SD slot. The Nexus S is also another phone I would recommend.
