PLEEEEASE test to see if the Wireless N only works on 2.4ghz band (like IP4). This will be a major drawback and cause a real problem with my home network.

I hope to God it works on 5ghz band where Wireless N belongs

Cant someone only test this if their router does 5ghz? most don't so its not surprising that the 4 DHDs we have available cant test it yet.

External speaker no where near the iphone... 50% but better than the desire..
Galaxy s kills the phones external speaker.
Bass better than the desire but could be better..

The max volume is not loud enough for me....I wouldn't miss a call but im a little gutted about it...to tell you the truth I would have liked it louder..

I thought most routers were 5ghz now. I have the Linksys WRT610N (aka E3000) cos I have a 100mbps internet connection (Gotta love living in Holland! :))

The 2.4ghz band is slower and full of other devices. Especially if you live in an appartment. Some areas are so chocka full that wireless signals are all bouncing into each other. Hence all the new routers run on 5ghz which is nice and clean.

The iPad aparently does 5ghz (though I wouldn't buy one even with a gun to my head) but the iPhone doesnt...

The DHD needs to have 5ghz possible to really wow me :-D

Aparently the Samsung Galaxy Tab also has 5ghz...

The headphones that come in box are crap...I had a set of nokia 5800 earphones that I just plugged in ...the sound compared to the desire is miles apart....great....nice sound and a lot better..im happy with the sound...external speaker mmm not very good but through headphones pretty good...with a expensive set I reckon the sound would rock !!

Not a real time test but my mate says he charged the battery this morning and all the messing about with it we have done its still around 50%..

Dont take this as the battery is good....its to early to tell...the biggest thing is the SGS has a 1500mah....but maybe the small battery of the HD will match it....time will tell...so far so good....its not always the bigger mah is better...software/hardware has to come into it...time will tell..but so far good

Could you explain what problems did you have with SGS, please? I'm thinking about buying one due to a lot lower price compared to DHD.

The galaxy s now is at a great price I wont lie..
To me the galaxy s still has better images, better video and better audio...really the video quality is amazing... the hd cant beat it.

The reason I sold it was because the random black screens, the terrible lag...even with ryan lag fix it still lagged.....the drop in signal when in a call...3g up and down......the worst RFS filesystem ever...id had enough..

If you want the truth,, desire hd vs galaxy s id still edge the SGS... IF

Samsung hadn't messed this phone up...oh + a terrible UI touchwiz 3 >????? rubbish...not to mention the samsung support..

Combine these and the desire hd is so much better....maybe not on paper but in real life yes...ive had both in my hands and the desire hd is the best of the best..

EDIT....i haven't been told if 2.2 froyo has fixed most of these issues ?....this is how i found the phone to act with 2.1 !

I now happy that another Galaxy S ex-owner thinks exactly like me. In fact after selling my moby I do not have another phone till my HD arrives.

It's a laggy, crappy plastic bit of old Samsung tat........ Never again will I bother with em for mobiles.

Dont forget my EDIT..

I dont want SGS fans coming to get me,,,,,ahhh I hate saying bad things about this phone,,,,in so many ways it rocks....shame on you Samsung for messing this phone up.

Another EDIT.. yes HTC build quality is far better than SGS ...then again its the best in its field..
