Best Android Phone?

Hi,

I'm looking for an Android phone.
-Samsung Galaxy S
-HTC Desire HD
-???

It should be excelent at sound (I have good headphones already.). The sound of the speaker doesn't matter much, though.
Battery life?

The desire HD is a bit large and the Galaxy S seems to have a low priced plastic case....
Battery life seems a problem, too?

Anybody got one (android phone) and is satisified with it?

Thanks for your comments.

 

Thanks for your post.
I had the chance to test it. (wmobile6.5 only) ...sound on headphone is far not satisfying. AFAIK ancestor(v) has got it and is much satisfied.
He uses windows business functions more than multimedia.
Anyway the multiboot option sounds good!
HD2 is as large as HD desire...4.2 almost too large for carrying in pants pocket...?

Hmm the more I read about the less I know....it seems there is no perfect one.....will read more about.....
My fav atm is the samsung galaxy s..SAMOLED display 4 Zoll ....Froyo, but it looks like those cheap ones...

HTC's are looking more valuable...

 

Hi cool,
I'm writing this on my galaxy. Finally the display is far superior to the htc.
build quality is not bad though.
I'm happy with it.

I have to disagree. Samsung has a far superior Superamoled display. HTCs have worse battery life and are heavy to carry in pocket. Also the design is not cool, they are looking like made in Russia.lol....solid and heavy but uncool...also multi media performance such as sound and graphics are worse.
Who actually needs the Sense?

The lag has disappeared at latest stock firmeware.
It's a perfect phone now...I have rooted and customized it....Galaxy s rulez and is cheaper...

HTC desire HD's battery life is very short! I could test both of them, but has a bigger screen.

...both are fine.

 

I have had the Samsung Galaxy S and the HTC desire HD from a good shop for a test. (in the beginning of December)

HTC desire HD:
Prize: 539€
Battery capacity 1230 mAh only! (It lasts noticeable a shorter time, because less capacity and a bigger screen) Samsung keeps the good bateries for their own devices, lol.

Samsung Galaxy S
Prize: 449€
Battery capacity 1500mAh! Smaller screen (4) and superamoled display. Superamoled displays have the best battery drain.

Honestly, I don't know what you mean, have you ever compared a Samsung SUPERAMOLED display to a HTC display???
It is far superior to ALL HTCs. The color saturation and black level are much much better unless you are blind.

Thanks, I know the Adfree app already.
I get my apps from the market. I also have tried applanet, but they are off sometimes. AppBrain, I will test as well.

I'm searching for apps through google, you can find them easily (even the full versions) and install them via astro.
Just add the .apk extension when searching for it (many are found at 4shared)

What I did so far:
Installed stock firmware JPY.
Installed mod kernel (root, superuser, recovery 2e, busybox)
Installed CWR (very usefull when you are playing with roms and make your own customisations).
Modded the framework-res.apk (battery Icons and some self made icons)
Installed Navigon full

Good apps:
fancy widget pro
clockwork recovery (installed via rom manager)
ES File Explorer (lan and FTP support)
audio boost (very nice if you have good headphones, the sound is really amazing)
aquarium donation live wallpaper.
ADW launcher and themes (sometimes)
just pictures (allows to zoom hires pictures, whereas the gallery doesn't refine the data)
floating images is nice, too.

...more to test.

Keep you updated.

 

Yes I know. My experience is personal as well.
Most would say the HTC desire HD is better than the Galaxy S...(there are polls about). I evaluated all pros and cons and for me the Galaxy S is far better.
Samsung is very slow at firmwares. I have to say the latest one still fixed MAJOR issues like lag and GPS...
