I second this, android by far is the best mobile OS at the moment + great build quality phones are coming out (droid 2 / htc desire etc). I have been using droid incredible for past 3 months and its a great phone.
also i know it was mentioned earlier and apple is a piece of shit but i found an iphone 4 (sick feeling) and after u jailbreak it and get installous u can get every app for free so its pretty sweet
i was gonna pick up a samsung galaxy s when i got to copenhagen but ye just gonna keep this now
I've got an iPhone 4 so I can give you some positives/negatives, maybe someone else could that's got a HTC.

Got the Desire 2/3 weeks ago.

+Quality build
+Very nice display, both in resolution (800x480) and color.
+Decent 5mpx camera with led flash.
+Can use the led when shooting video (2.2 required)
+FriendStream app/widget is nice if you're a twatter/fakebook whore
+Link contact data from Facebook/Google : didn't have to manually set pictures or email for everyone \o/
+Exchange support
+Snappy performance, even more so since the 2.2 Froyo update from a week ago (availability not guaranteed, varies from carrier to carrier. you may have to wait or even be fucked and never get it, but there are workarounds).
+Apps for most everything you need on the market
+Relatively fine grained app privileges, shown when installing from the market.
+GPS + Google maps and/or Google navigation = win
+microUSB connexion
+USB tethering
+Wifi hotspot (2.2)

-The screen is hard to read in bright sunlight. If that is a concern, get a matte screen protector if you can find one.
-Not enough applications can be moved from the limited internal memory to SD as of yet. That's a general issue with the plaform though, not that specific phone. It'll get better, in the meantime don't install too much shit
-No EQ whatsoever in the default media player (get MixZing on the market)
-No gapless playback with the default media player (or most of the alternative options on the market).
-Slight background hiss when playing music. You will hardly notice outdoors and/or without in-ear earplugs though.
-The provided handsfree kit has mediocre sound quality.
-Doesn't play divx etc... get RockPlayer on the market for that
-Slightly longer than a 3g jesusPhone.
I dont know, but stay away from Sony Ericsson... I bought one and then it was all crap, would turn off when you plugged in the charger and sometimes just randomly die. After 2 days i got a call and that meant the telephone just died, had lights in the keyboard, but couldnt be turned on, removing battery didnt work. Returned it and got a C510 Sony Ericsson instead, and guess what, its the same bullshit. Turns off every now and then and often happens when you try to charge it.
