I just got a Samsung Galaxy S, it's a great phone. I was looking at the Nexus/Desire before this but when I saw it I ran with it, bought pre-ordered and got it imported.

The 4" Super AMOLED screen has better constrast ratio and response time than the iphone4, but not as good a resolution. From what I've read (haven't seen an i4) this means iPhone is better for text, but videos / pictures should look better. It has a 1ghz hummingbird processor, which is supposed to be the fastest out. 720p processor, 8/16gb internal memory, front facing camera.

Its android 2.1, with 2.2 on the way, has wifi tethering, samsung has touchwiz enhancements which I find to be pretty decent (but don't like the menu screen so just downloaded a loader to change that)

the phone is very thin, my main complaint is that it looks like an iPhone so people keep asking me if its the new iPhone...
