among those three SGS is definitely better but I would suggest you to look at Nexus S instead if your budget is inside 22k else up your budget a bit and get HTC Desire:S

Nexus S price is around 26k & budget is not that much

i Dont want hTC DESIRE as it has many disadvantages over Galaxy S/Galaxy SL

1. Screen Size is smaller 3.7 vs 4.0
2. Doesnt have a secondry Camera {so no Video Calling}
3. Smaller ROM

& Moreover i dont like the Menu Style of Sense UI s Compared to TouchWiZ of Samsung

Desiibond had suggested HTC Desire S... the new one that costs 23k... it has a front facing camera and is an awesome phone...

Nexus S is available for 20k (19k with discount) on Letsbuy --- Buy Samsung Google Nexus S (Black) at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews (no super-amoled though)

yea ... man but i dont like Desire S & Nexus S too.
'coz the Desire has small screen & Nexus has no MicroSD support & no HD recording.

So i Think the Galaxy S is better then these 2

1. It is made by HTC, a Premium brand known for excellent built quality.
2. Its made of Unibody Aluminum design instead of plasticky Samsung devices
3. It has Sense UI, great integration with facebook, twitter, youtube, awesome widgets, offline maps and navigation, not found in stock Android or on crappy cartoonish Samsung Touchwiz UI.
4. Camera has flash, unlike Galaxy S. The HD camera is very good with 720p video recording support.

It has everything that a Galaxy S has... DLNA support, Wifi, Bluetooth, HSDPA, Gyroscope, Compass. Screen is smaller and is not super-amoled.

Even if you choose Galaxy S, it would be a good choice. Just avoid Galaxy SL and other cheaper Samsung phones...

yes. D:S is going to get more updates than SGS and it will get more ROMs in the future as the focus shifts to SGSII from SGS. Also, HTC is far more reliable than Sammy when it comes to updates and fulfilling promises.
