Do the HTC and Samsung offerings have the same capability?

Ok calmed down now. It could have been a tulip hot phone and the theory of it could make it a real winner. Problem is it isn't. There are not enough of them about so apps support is utter rubbish and most seem to be highly techie rather than fun. Keyboard is the dogs danglies, dunno how I am going to cope without it but the rest of the phone is a waste of time. Regret getting mine.

"iphone ******!!!"
is the phrase i like to use
its a very good phone though just far too common
I'm on a Desire HD, and in my opinion its the closest to an "all in one" device that is available at the moment

Everyone in my office has an iPhone 4, they all have screen protectors and a case to prevent damage. I've had my HTC for 5 months as is comes and there's not a mark on it.
As for W7 I've heard its good, I have Android which is excellent.

My current one is a Samsung Galaxy S, but it's an American one, so it has the four touch buttons. People with Galaxy S' see it and wonder what it is
Looking forward to getting the Galaxy S II at some point, that's going to be a tulip hot phone when it comes out.

^^ The 3G is basically "end of life". I went from a 3G to a 4 and the speed difference was noticeable. Stuff opens straightaway rather than taking many seconds.
I'd get the iPhone. To be honest, the iPhone is worth it for the apps alone, and the fact everything Just Works. If you jailbreak it (easy) you can do even more.
You can probably get some money for your 3G on eBay.
There will be a "4GS" or whatever out this year though (June-Sept).

I like the Galaxy S that I have had about for 8 months now. The next version is probably even better, take a serious look at it.
