Hey all:)
Felt that this burning topic merited its own thread...now after the recent price drops, these two cellphones are the most VFM in the 20K range;-)

So is the Desire S worth the extra 1-2K over the Galaxy S i9000?
Considering both handsets now come with 2.3 Gingerbread pre-installed and usage pattern mainly for Gaming,Browsing and Movies:)

Also is there any reason at all to consider the prehistoric iPhone 3GS at this range?:grin:

Why not consider Incredible S when it is available for 1k more than Desire S.
It is better than from all the phones listed above....

Just a small step of another 1K more will get you the Optimus 2X which is in a different league:)

So just wanted to compare keeping the budget strictly in the 20K range:)

Then I think even Desire S is out of your budget,if u can go for it then it is also a very good phone.Another Galaxy S is the only option you are left with...
