Which one's better? Tough call, really. Off hand though, based on specs alone (and the fact that Android's hot these days and that Apple's practically being grilled over iPhone 4 Antenna Issue), I'm favoring Samsung Galaxy S. Actually, had Galaxy S' camera come with LED flash, that phone would have been near-perfect -- in my eyes, at least.
