It's no doubt that this is a fantastic phone, on a level if not beating the HTC desire on specifications.
But it's a hefty wadge to buy or a high monthly contract.
And Android phones are developing really quickly at the minute.
The HTC Wildfire gets you into the world of Android phones at a much more reasonable price with all the functionality you'd expect, with a slightly lower speed and display. The latter will suit most people unless you are really a technophobe.

Samsung Galaxy S i9000
Hi everyone, upgraded myself to this sleek Samsung Galaxy S i9000, after lots of research, it was a tough decision as all the similar latest models had almost similar features, the fast speed 1GB hummingbird processor, good battery life, excellent GPS features & really amazingly clear screen made me decide to select this model over others. Since almost over five weeks of usage no call drops, no phone hangs or freezes, no sync problems, has given me true satisfaction of my wise decision to pick this phone. Wi-Fi & blue tooth usage has much less battery drain compared to its competitors (no names please). Video calling is charm on this phone 'cos of 1GB processor. Radio usage reception is excellent almost always. With 32GB memory, watched AVATAR in HD on my i9000 and at end of it I used 50% battery - not bad eh! Amazing masterpiece created by Samsung Galaxy S team. Overall performance is excellent for my usage. My advice buy the model which suits your usage habits, this model for sure is way ahead of others per my personal research, usage & satisfaction.

I need your help ...
I'm considering this phone and would like to get the opinion of the ones who use it for a couple of months now ..
How is it in general ? How's the GPS ? Overall stability ?
(currently I'm using Nokia's N97 and it is a disaster all over .. would'nt like to fall again .. )
Thanks,
Gil

a marvellous piece of kit
this fone is marvellous I find with one fatal flaw it needs to be recharged after about 18hrs of use. I have the 8Gb model thought i'd try it out and see what i thought, like I say marvellous piece of kit but the battery only lasts top end of 18 hours
