Default Galaxy S (not II) or Desire S?

Vodafone have offered me either of the above for an extra 5 pounds a month on my contract - I'm leaning towards the Galaxy for the larger screen, Desire S is newer, has a camera flash but other than that the spec is similar. Anyone have experience of either?

Galaxy will be rooted and custom rom'd shortly after taking it out of it's box

I'd go for the desire s, but that's because I don't like huge phones. I'd also go for HTC's over a lot of phones, they were pretty much first with android, I've found a lot of the others brands still try and impose their version of android on you, some way or another.

I like the Galaxy very much. It can do more or less anything that you want. I haven't installed Darky's Rom, but have installed Android 2.3.3 and it is really good.

Either the GPS isn't working or you're pulling our legs.
