Over all the best value is pushing towards $10 per GB. Having longer credit cycles is another way to find value but it looks as tough $130 for 3BG over 90 days hasn't heard of that.

scoop "HTC UNVEiLS HTC Desire HD..."

thanks to htc.com for specs and images

hTC Wildfire = 1/2 the Desire

       ≠ 

          HTC Wildfire                                    HTC Desire

Surprisingly the HTC Wildfire is in the same Telstra price bracket as the HTC Desire. Starting @ $49/month for 24 months Telstra will give you the phone. BUT at the SAME price you may as well take the HTC Desire and get twice the processing power. 1GHz instead of 528 MHz.

The only reason one might choose the Wildfire is because of its smaller size, but there is only a 1cm difference in length and more than that in screen size difference.. 

I also noted the Wildfires screen is not as sharp as the desires 384k pixels on a compared to  77k QVGA  pixels .

I think the only thing going for the Wildfire is its good looks. I think the silver desires or even a black one would look just as good.  It is however a very male female couple.

Samsung Galaxy S

 
5 MP Camera, GPS, 4-inch super AMOLED screen


Putting it up there with the HTC Desire and iPhone 4 in terms of CPU speed, the Galaxy S has a 1GhZ Hummingbird processor.

Regretfully the samsung skin, is clunky and only serves to make the Galaxy S even more iPhone like. The dock at the bottom is just like iphone ios, not the best graphics on the icons. Overall the skin seems worse than the stock froyo. The lack of search and home hardware buttons furthur restricts this interface.


However this is one of the few android phones with a front facing camera out now.
