I am currently trying to decide between the HTC Desire or the Samsung Galaxy S as my first smart phone.

Many of you have recently purchased one of these two. What made you choose one over the other?

Also did you purchase with a 3-year activation?

I appreciate any insight you can provide.

Thank you for all the information and patience with this newbie. You've given me a lot to think about since I was definitely leaning towards basing my decision on the handset without considering the plans or the companies. I have been perusing these forums for awhile and with all the information about options for plans Im a tad overwhelmed---a bit of "analysis paralysis" .

This will be my first smartphone. I have a Telus cell phone paid for by work. I dont actually use it alot. I also have a very old Bell cell which I never use but I pay $20 a month for it. It was originally on a 3 year plan which must have expired about 3 years ago. I dont make a ton of calls and very rarely text. However, I would like to be able to check emails, have a calendar, access the internet when Im away from home or work, and maybe play a few games. Music would be nice but I have an Ipod so it is not a necessity.

Any advice?
