Ok let me try to address few points here ........
The BEST is always relative, there is nothing BEST as such out there in Gadget world, it would always be relative (as aptly pointed out by
Hrithan ).......... I need x things from a smart phone and I get all x and few more and that makes this smart phone THE BEST for me. ........ Seriously if you expect to get ALL and everything best from a smartphone you are badly mistaken, first there would always be a product offering one or the other thing better in some or the other department. Second personal preference would always play a huge role in deciding what is "THE BEST" out there
I in none of my statement in this thread said GS is not as good as Desire unlike few of the people put it here so bluntly with a tag "IMHO" ....
There is clean line of Pros and Cones between the two phones and that is the BEST part about this particular comparison as it makes easier for the end user to make a decision.
Recently my cousin wanted to have a high end smartphone and as usual approached me for the help, now I could have easily suggested him Desire since some of the people here believe that since I own it, its obvious, well that is not how I perceive. His main objective was to get a fast phone, with the Best looking display but most of all rocking camera and video recording, and he would also go for some quality gaming with his phone......obviously Desire was not for him, though fast but definitely not better in Camera and Video capabilities then GS. Plus GPS was something which he would not be using at all. All this made GS the obvious choice and that is what I made him choose .....
Coming to the second query of Desire loading full desktop sites, I dont know from where did this doubt come from,
Desire DOES LOAD all the site in FULL DESKTOP mode, there is no question/doubt about this, infact there is an option in the setting of the browser, to choose between what it should load.......the mobile version or the FULL desktop version, which one can opt ......
here the screen shot for CNET site loaded on the desire and the desktop for some solid confirmation ...
