I want a new Android phone with a single cpu and slightly smaller package:
1. Nexus S seems to pack a 4" screen into not such a big package
2. Desire S is the nicest construction and nice and compact but the screen is a bit dim
3. Motorola anyone ?
Anyone had the first two, or all three, (or any other recommendations) and can comment ?
thanks

I would say get the Nexus S. I don't think the Desire S is worth it with the Desire HD and Z out (but the HD isn't exactly a "small package".)
Stay away from Motorola. Motoblur will make you want to pull your hair out and their designs and build quality are subpar (Aside from the OG Droid).

I have a Nexus S and love it. It is a no-nonsense phone that is simple in operation and packs in the latest user tech...FFC, NFC, Gyroscope etc. The feel and build quality is very good. But I did have to exchange one out for a common fault in the display.
Think of the Nexus S as Google's version of an iPhone. I also have a few HTC products. And though they are fine and well made, the Nexus seems to excel on design and simplicity.
I don't like the Defy so I wouldn't consider it. A Droid, I would consider.
Of the 3 you list, the Nexus gets my vote. But that's because I already have plenty of HTC phones. It might be different if I didn't. Nevertheless, I love having the FFC, NFC and gyro, whether or not I use them.
Nexus S. Definitely Nexus S. I have a Defy and am very happy with it (I immediately flashed it to remove Blur of course), but if you have the money for a Nexus, go for it. Played with it again today at a store. Man is that thing sleek.
Though if smallness is important to you... the Defy is the smallest. It really makes good use of the real estate, it's pretty much all display. Flash it with Cyanogen and you're golden.
if you are the type of person who wants official updates right away, nexus s is your type of phone

+1 HTC DESIRE S All the way
great phone, great feel, right size, can be rooted and S-OFF'd
(But then again, I'm biased!)
Nexus Prime, if you can wait.
One other thing to consider is the Nexus S is extremely easy to root. The only issue I had with mine was getting the drivers installed for it in Vista. After that the rooting process was simple.
I have the brother (SGS) and I prefer Nexus S instead any HTC.

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.

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)
Hello everyone. I'm thinking of buying a new phone. I am between Nexus S and the HTC Desire, but I don't know which to pick. ;-;
Nexus S
4" Screen
Super AMOLED
Google's own-branded device with faster updates
HTC Desire
576MB RAM. 64MB more than the Nexus S
So, opinions people? I want a good Android phone on which I can play games smoothly, because I have nightmares with my Magic.
Posting benchmarks, opinions etc will help me a lot. Thanks! ^_^
This is not a question.
HTC desire is a generation behind (it's equal is the Nexus One)
go with Nexus S and don't bother about Desire.
Actually i have both and:
- Desire is much more well made, feels better
- AMOLED screen in Desire (have Nexus S with SCLCD) looks better, but SCLCD performs better in sunlight
- Nexus S has a lot lot lot... more space for apps, system etc.
From features perspective - Nexus wins and hopefully will get more devs support soon.
Another nexus advantage - its google... gets updates asap
I also have both and both with Amoled.
As someone else posted Desire is one generation behind, we I play with it now it really feels old compared to the Nexus S. I definitely felt like getting a Nexus S was an upgrade from my Desire.
Nexus S +
Always up to date Android
Original Android experience
Bigger, brighter screen (at least amoled version)
Much faster
A lot more space for apps (Desire = 140mb only)
Nexus S -
No sdcard slot (not an issue at all for me).

this pretty much sums it up.
The Desire has some sick Devs porting everthing you want. Flashing things and rerolling back to Stock Sense is extremly easy with the RUU.exe files provided by HTC.
Problem is the internal storage: you have to use A2Ext, Data2Ext or a s-off the phone to gain access to fastboot commands for custom partition layout. This slows down the phone or can lead to Data integrity problems(Data2ext).
On top of this - the HTC Speakers are crap and the CPU/GPU is just too old.

Although it has more memory on paper, in reality Sense takes up that RAM. And the Nexus S has a lot more internal memory for apps, faster UI, better speaker, slightly better earpiece volume with better sound quality (call quality is important to me), nicer keyboard with a better dictionary, and much better battery life. The overall feel is of a much faster phone although the CPU is not really that much faster, but the GPU is a lot faster and that helps the user experience.
I'm very happy with the Nexus S, and my wife is very happy with my Desire.
I have had both phones and i personally think that the nexus s is much faster and if you decide to put custom roms on the phone then you can get well over 4000 on quadrant aswell ,, not that quadrant is a reliable benchmark ... so i say nexus s all the way!!
I had HTC Desire before my actual Nexus S. My conclusion ? I will never buy another non-vanilla Android smartphone.

^ Nexus series for life.
@OP: If your justification for getting the Desire over the NS because of an additional of 64MB in RAM then you should just go for those new dual core phones coming out.
It's a decision of:
A) Getting faster updates with a phone that is up to par but not dual core.
B) Getting the best hardware for like a month until something new comes out and get fragmented Android releases.
Note that the dual core phones coming out are on 2.2 (Froyo) which are not optimized for dual cores yet. And when that Android OS comes out, it'll take a while for them to get the new version.
Choose your pick. I chose (A)
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. You helped a lot.(characteristics etc.) ^^

It depends. If you're happy with the Captivate, then why would you change it right now ? Maybe if the Nexus had better hardware, then that would've been something to look for. But if you're happy right now and don't quite need the vanilla Android and it's updates/features, then there's not a good reason to change it. But, if you have problems with the Captivate, or you just feel like you need something that the Nexus brings, or maybe even if you just got bored of your phone, then why not ? It's your choice. Your needs. Your answer.
Hi, just a curiosity. I came from the Desire HD (rooted and bla bla bla) and I'm wondering where is the difference between this Sensation and the DHD. I do not feel it really different... I tought it was double faster or something like that, but exept the resolution I cannot find great changes..
Build quality is better (for me, at least).
It's much more compact, easy to hold.
Sense 3.0!
Instant Capture on the camera
HTC Watch
It's dual core

Would like to respond to these:
1. Both are the same ssize screens.. so other then ergonomics..
2. Desire HD has sense 3.0
3. Instant cap will be ported
4. HTC will be ported..
5. Dual core.... sure? I guess?
Edit: Good phone. But good upgrade...?
I'd say no.
if you are coming from the Regular Desire then I'd say upgrade for sure. From Desire HD? No.

1. Screen size doesn't matter in this case. The Sensation is a lot more streamlined and it's thinner width ways than the DHD, due to 16:9 screen. The DHD is also much more rectangular than the Sensation; the Sensation has curved edges, like the Nexus One. Thus, the Sensation feels quite a bit smaller than the DHD.
2. DHD has Sense 3.0, but it's not official. It always feels better when it's official!
3. Don't know about Instant Capture being ported; it may be something to do with the hardware. I believe Instant Capture is done by continually auto focussing.
4. Like Google Movies, I don't know if Watch will work on a rooted device (due to copyright restrictions, etc) let alone on a device it wasn't made for, i.e. DHD.
5. Dual core is awesome
whats the battery life like on the sensation with daily use? Im thinking of upgrading from my hd2, i love the android roms for hd2 and how hackable it is, but battery life is crap and i dont want an ugly double size battery.
Thanks

I upgraded from the HD2 to the Sensation; albeit I was using a crappy Nokia for 3 weeks in between. My opinion is that the Sensation is better, battery feels like it lasts twice as long and once the small bugs are sorted (i.e phone restarting occasionally when using the camera and the flash is required) I cannot see a reason why anyone would not want to upgrade to this.
As for the camera flash causing the crash, I have uninstalled App Killer and it hasn't happened since so maybe a work around until an official update is released.
Thanks, im onto vodafone now, my hd2 has been ace but i cant live with the crap battery any longer. Here is hoping reception on the sensation is fixed as well. Vodafone had told me i would have to wait a month longer for an upgrade but im going to press hard and see how i get on!

Not sure what responses you were expecting from here but YES!
I came from a x10 and a Droid before that. The nexus s is easily one of the best phones on the market (software/xda support).
And considering you can pick one up for two bills its a no brainer.

I agree. I upgraded from my Nexus One after reading initial reviews of the Galaxy Nexus and its sub par camera. The Nexus S is a significant upgrade. It is much snappier, has a great screen and a terrific form factor. Plus it runs ICS beautifully.
From my experience using the HTC Desire from a friend, yes. The Nexus S is faster and the screen is much better, plus you got ICS that is quite nice.
Worth switching from HTC Desire Z???/tmbile g2?

Definitely an upgrade. Go for it. There's nothing better than having an oficial Google phone.

I would upgrade to Nexus S from HTC Desire, yes.
I just upgraded (downgraded?) from LG O2X to Nexus S, and it was worth it. The Nexus phones are so sexy, and if you are in to rooting and tweaking you phone, Nexus S is the ****.
I just played around with my friends HTC Desire the other day, and I have owned a HTC myself (Legend). And your first impression as an HTC owner switching to Nexus S will probably be "PLASTIC". But you'll get used to it, and after a while using it, the plastic will just breathe future.
I switched from a G1 to Nexus S.. what a huge improvement XD..
and yes its truly worth the upgrade
yes it is! I had a htc desire then switched to a HTC HD2 and now a nexus s. And i will never look back

Welcome to the club, then.
Congratz for your new toy. For everyone else having the same question its defenately worth it. Im coming from a desire and got an ics updated ns. Once i installed the 2.3.2 oxygen rom and got rid of the ics system awake bug I was amazed by the nexus. Also Im not gonna update it back to ics unless its really worth it. Oxygen gb and a good oc uv kernel make this phone hell fast. The bad thing its I got the 9023 and the slcd drains the battery quite fast since Im a hard user. Thats why Im waiting for my 3 spare batteries from ebay.

the nexus s wifi has some problem,weak.
I did the same road, then I can evaluate.
Desire Pros:
- ringers volume is better (not the best)
- more grip on hands
- more rugged
- better display (I have SLCD Nexus S)
- I love Sense, better agenda, better widget, better contacts manage
- have the led for notification
- better single touch accuracy
- have trackball, very usefull to move cursor
- have SDCARD
- more RAM
Desire Cons:
- no more updated by HTC
- multitouch problem
Nexus S Pros:
- ICS (but you can unlock your Desire to have ICS with non official ROM)
- bigger display
- better audio call
- multitouch ok
- I like soft button (I would not have said before)
Nexus S Cons:
- Stand by and volume button are relief, so they are pressed involuntarily
- it is a soap! all shiny and smooth. Does not exist grip
- The colors of SLCD are bad
- the headphones jack on the bottom
- the front camera is useless to "normal" call
- single touch is not always accurate, often I must re-touch 2/3 times to "click"
- wifi signal is more weak than on Desire. On long distance Desire is better.
- does not have SDCARD
- no trackball
- no led !
so, I love my Desire
Moved from a Desire to Nexus S yesterday. Happy so far. Both running CM7, Nexus just so much slicker, the speaker is much better and so is the bigger screen. Can tell it's faster when doing the usual things too. I did think the no LED would be a problem but you can get the touch buttons to flash or stay on when there's a notification.
Will be trying ICS soon.
It's a nice little update for 6 months until my contract runs out and i can get something new, as it worked out to the handset costing £120, minus whatever i get for it in 6 months.
I've been considering trading my HTC Sensation for a Samsung Nexus S. Do you guys have any complaints about the phone hardware wise, build quality etc? The wifi death grip on this phone is about to nearly drive me insane.
My friend has the nexus s and its awesome but I say replace your sensation with HTC or T-Mobile and just root and load a custom rom to make it smooth/smoother.

Did that already, phone is as smooth as a baby, but the wifi issue is hardware related, and oddly enough i use my phone landscape 80% of the time, which means wifi is non existent unless I hold it awkwardly. T_T.
The Nexus S is smooth. But the Sensation XE, That I own is smoother than my old Nexus S. With more time and optimization the Sensation will be alot smoother.
That's exactly what I did, I had a Sensation for a few days as an upgrade from Orange, but when I saw a Nexus S on special offer and got one for my daughter, I found it much lighter and the screen better than the Sensation. So I bought one for myself and put the Sensation on Ebay.
I also like the Nexus S OS because it is clean without any manufacturers customisations.
I updated mine from 2.3.1 to 2.3.6 stock ROM. Will wait for the OTA ICS update later this month.
I have found the WiFi to be a bit weak, this apparently is a known problem, otherwise just feels faster than the Sensation.
In future I'm going to stick to the Google phones because I prefer a vanilla Android install.

So far, I've seen no reason to not trade, benchmarks are about the same if not better. One last question, hows the camera?
Only complaint: dog slow compared to GSII. On the plus side, it has such a better form factor and it feels better in my hand.

yeah, how is the camera, its 5mp compared to the 8mp in the sensation and theres no hd recording, but its still great for picture taking isnt it?
I had to make the same decision and I haven't looked back. One thing about the sensation that drove me insane was the touchscreen sensitivity. I would always miss keys on the keyboard and I'd have to press harder than I did on my old vibrant. The nexus s has a much better digitizer and is much more responsive over all IMO. Comparable to the galaxy s (not surprising). I will warn you, the screen isn't the sharpest, but the saturated colors and deep blacks are worth it IMO. Aside from that, I can't think of any downsides.

Quality seems great to me, so, switching it is for me!
Thats the thing with HTC. I love the build and Sense (less so since I got ICS on my Nexus S) but the screens are a POS and thats the thing that you interact with the most the screen. It really makes or breaks a phone.
HTC really need to get an Amoled supplier or something similar, else they will fall way behind Samsung in the next few years.
I will not touch another HTC phone because of this.
I've never actually compared my screen to the nexus s. So to me the screen quality seems fine haha. . Although, I used to have the HD7, and the quality of that screen was HORRID.
I had a Hero and the screen was nice.
Then I got a HD2 about 6 months ago and put Android on it. It ran it well but the screen was an abomination. Also, the digitizer was poor as it missed buttons pressed all the time. So I sold it and kept the Hero for another 6 months.
Then I saw the Nexus S for £199 and couldn't resist.
I can't get over how good this phone is.
