Depends on what you looking for. I find both really cool. The desire is big, and the defy is small. htc sense is way better than motorollas overlay. The desire screen is simply better in terms of clarity and color. gsmarena.com is a good site to help you decide, it does nice comparisons. check it out.
Desire : strong community, hundreds of custom ROMs, easier to root, Sense.
Defy : water+dust resistant, Blur.
Yours to decide.
BTW: I have a Desire not a Defy.
Android was born from the union of Google and HTC
I have a Desire, but also Desire HD it's beautiful.
HTC with Android forever !
HTC with Windows Phone anymore !
DEFY is a good choice.
last year i want to buy defy, i like its water and dust resistant. but my friend suggest me desire. and finally, i buy HTC, the screen look better than defy. PS: what i buy is desire s, but i know desire is good, 'coz the friend i just said use it.

i got 3 option
HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S
Google Nuxes S
i am from pakitan so the price for desire is 42K, Nuxes S for 44K and Incredible S is available for 46K
please suggest me, which cell should i buy.
The incredible S without doubt.
It is larger than the Desire (similar size to Desire HD). The Desire is just "old" compared to the other two and the Nexus S is a Samsung and I don't like Samsung phones (hardware and software, the former you can't do much about).
It depends really. Is this your first android phone?
One thing you might take for granted for example is that it will display Arabic characters but it doesn't. It is the top problem on Google's issue tracker at the moment but I have no idea of when they'll fix it. It is possible to get browsers such as opera that can display the characters correctly though.
On another point the Nexus S is a pure Android phone and as such is quite bare compared to HTCs. I have one myself but I did miss the selection of widgets that HTCs come with by default such as the mobile network on / off one. The last time that I looked none of the ones in the market worked on gingerbread.
If you're a new user I'd probably suggest the Incredible and perhaps something in the Nexus line for your next phone after that
thanks baz & jmm
yes this is my first android phone but i don't need Arabic support coz i can use set in english. so u guys suggesting me HTC Incredible S....
Absolutely, no question, HTC Incredible S.
Incredible S!

I would buy the Nexus S in a heartbeat, It would be the best of them. It is Google's version of the iPhone in quality and superior hardware. Those others don't really compare to it. The Nexus S is the only one with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The other two are still on 2.1 or 2.2. And the Nexus S is the only one to have a genuine gyro.
@MartyLK
thanks for reply
dude if u r just talking about OS then incridable S is also getting Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June so no big deal for me to use 2-3 months old os there is difference of FM radio, camera and sound ......
and incredible S also getting Sense UI 3.0 with Gingerbread
I would buy Incerdible S absolutly
thanks guys.....
i just unboxed my Incredible S.....
Incredible S for sure !!!!!!!!
Why the incredible s but not the desire s?? They are very similiar!! The community is too small for the DS...

I find it to be the most overrated phone out there.
Good, maybe great, but nothing amazing.
+1 for the Incredible S
I love HTC and I'm a big fan of Sense as well (assuming that you root the phone and run sense 3.0 or a 2.1/3.0 mix)
Hi guys, I want to buy a phone, now am wandering about the incredible s and desire s
which one do you think is better?
Desire S choosen
Hi,
I had the same situation, finaly I've bought the Desire S and I'm happy with it. It is a litte big smaler then the Incredible but exept the camera as far as I know everything is the same.
The Desire S for me personaly looks much more noble then the Incrdible S and is fitting in every pocket.
I've had the HD2 before with WIN6.5 and Andoird (Desire HD Rom) for mails/Inet etc. and an additional smaler phone to make calls. Now after everything will be set up I'll be only the Desire S.
Cheers
Mike

It comes down to two things, how big a phone do you want to carry around in your pocket? and which one feels best in your hands....
I'd suggest you go to a shop and try out both dummies....whichever feels best should leave in your pocket (and I don't mean nick the dummy!).
I personally like a smaller size, The D HD is way too big IMHO (I've come from HTC Diamond2 which was also 3.7" screen)
The phones are very similar spec wise, I rarely use a camera...so mega pixels don't matter to me!
They both have the same signed problems when it comes to custom ROMS and root.
Good luck.
Thank u. it will be my first android, in considering ur words, i think maybe the desire s will suit me.
Desire s fits perfectly in hands..i'll choose desire s as a replacement for my hero

At least use Google before posting questions...or read the page on HTC own website http://www.htc.com/uk/product/desires/overview.html
I just googled "compare htc desire v htc desire s" and my first hit was this:

this is a silly question...
1) your asking in the desire s forum so you already expect the answer
2) why would you favor a old deisre in favor for the new one which fixed all the old ones faults..
Actually, there are two ways to look at it:
If you are a user, who wants functionality etc...go for desire S (also a little more pricy)
But if you are a app/ROM developer, I'd go for the good ol' desire as it is much more supported... (also little cheaper)
I don't wanna sound negative after only a week of owning the phone, but I'm starting to think Desire S is going to be a little like Legend - Not as big leap forward from it's predecessor with not as many users/devs...
There are gazilions of Desire users, but how many Desire S users do you know other than here? Just sayin'

actually you have a very good point... i really hope that will not be the case though.. hopefully there will be great development..
Hope for many many developers too And many many great ROMs
Yep, he is obviously developer... Simple:
If you require something more powerful: Desire S
If you require something powerful: Desire
NumLine1 you're right , you're right
Newer.. is not always better , but, always powerfull
If you think Desire is good phone, then pick Desire
But if you want better than Desire without larger screen, then pick Desire S
I'm swear, before i buy DS i'm little confuse because my phone is Desire...
But after i already buy > open box > feel in my hand > OMG i'm not confuse anymore
desire s is better than Desire (design,built quality,screen,internal mem size LOL, and network reception)

Desire S is better for sure, but also more expensive. If he really doesn't require that high end experience, he should be ok with classic desire.
I don't see any real reason to buy android phone if the buyer just use it for calls. It's not my money though...
HTC Incredible S is the phone I am opting for. At the same time Desire HD seems to be a sensible choice. Can anyone guide me; which one is Better ? or any other model from the same family with somewhat same budget.
Secondly, this will be my first android. I have heard that HTC phones are best when it comes to Android updates and their special 'Sense' UI.
If any other brand in the market is having better choices in the Somewhat Same Budget ? Not only budget, but I expect a really good functionality alongside good looks.
Hope you guys there will surely help me make my decision...
Definitely go for HTC. Incredible is I think better as its screen is just the right size, not too small and not too large.
check Samsung I9000
HTC Incredible S and Desire HD both are OK.
It seems the camera of DHD is better than IS. And the battery capacity, IS > DHD.
@ hookguy, OmenosTM, evnnetuser. Thank you for your suggestion. I am definitely inclined towards HTC. Just wanted check some better opitions if available. Samsung is really offering some good models but doubt whether is it better to spend about 30K for Samsung instead of HTC.
That's easy!
The Desire HD has got Android 2.2 while the Incredible S has got 2.3 so I'd definitely buy the Incredible S. But if you remove the letters I C R D E B L and add the letters S O A N T, you get Sensation. That's the best phone you can get and I think that the hTC Sense UI makes it better than the Galaxy S II.

Desire hd has now got gingerbread http://www.eurodroid.com/2011/05/ht...branded-android-2-3-update-out-now-in-the-uk/
I go with HTC because samsung phone can get messed up right away if u root it . I rooted my g1,htc hero and never got them messed up. I switch over 40 roms together on both device. Since, getting galaxy it got messed up within a few rom i got it bricked. Even my droid from motorola didnt get messed up . Point is HTC and moto is durable. Im buy me a droid incredible 1 soon. Go with incredible s and HTC. I hate Samsung and their touchwiz isnt a dealbreaker trust me.
So, all you guys think that HTC is always a better option... am I right??
Make sure you go and physically play with the Desire HD before you buy it. It is a pretty big phone. I was surprised how big it was.
Shall I wait and watch the credentials of HTC Sensation and Samsung GS-II ?
My advice to you is to wait for the feedback from Sensation users, GB dual camera dual LED 1080p ...
I'm still thinking the SGSII is gonna be great down the road.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.
Thanks a lot for your replies guys.
It seems its better to wait for reviews of Sensation and GSII...
I just wanted to thank all of this forum's great people and dev's.
This is one of the most friendly forums I've ever visited.
I bought a white Sony Xperia S (not to be confused with the Arc S) and therefore will not be visiting this forum anymore.
My Desire S was great, but I had poor build quality and the wifi deathgrip was simply too annoying for me (I use the phone in landscape 60% of the time).
The one thing I'll miss most will most certainly be Sense, but Sony's interface is nice as well .
So thank you all once more!

good luck.
Take a look at the one series...was Lucky enough as HTC guys visited our office with The almighty one x , one s and one v.....the best looking phone was one s....he scratched the phone up and down back and front with a coin....nothing...no cover or case required....when u hold the phone in hand it feels its made out of one piece..cam was superb...just thinking to buy the one s....one x is out of budget....anyway all the best and glad I got the opportunity to meet the one series....

I know they're awesome, but the problem is they don't have a screen that fits my needs.
You see, the One X has 1280x720, but 4.7" is simply too huge.
The One S however, has the perfect size of 4.3", but only 540x960
My new Xperia S has a 4.3" screen with 1280x720, giving it a whopping 342ppi.
That was simply my main reason of purchase, since I watch a lot of movies and animé on my phone.
I think htc is much better than any brand that produce android phone.
Might their hardware is better, but at last their android is just android with som new icon. All of them is these changes.
But in htc you see the complete system with sense & widget
For example at last, many android phone have accuweather app, but just htc have beautifull widget and in sense 3.5 with beautifull movie , ...
All over, i like htc any way
