if its between Desire HD and Incredible S then buy the Incredible S with eyes closed... its one fo the best out there...

Sensation wont be a bad choice either and u can get in 40k in excellent condition... SGS2 wud cost around 45k... so get SGS2 if u can increase ur budget

Simply Sensation>Incredible S>Desire HD

Since you are in Multan, and because i dont have any idea about the mobile market there, i will say ... check for a used Sensation or a Galaxy S2.

Here in Lahore, SGS2 costs about Rs.45k at best (used ofcourse) ... and a Sensation costs slightly lower i.e. 42k (average).

See if you can find any of these.

I would still prefer the SGS2 if you can get it in a reasonable price range as per your budget.

@Hasim! With a budget of 39k, either buy yourself a GalaxySII, or dont bother looking at lower handsets than that i.e. Nexus S, Galaxy S, Incredible S etc etc

Period!

Cant increase my budget
Then wait some time, and buy when your budget comes up to a level where you can buy the best possible alternative.

But i have heard that the S2 body is made out of poor plastic
"Poor" Plastic? Seriously? From where did you hear that?
I mean yea its made of Plastic, but i wont call it "Poor" Plastic. Yea the plastic has the characteristic of being fragile (compared to aluminum/metal casings etc), but i wont call that "Poor".

Anyway ... I had the same dilemma when i was buying a Galaxy S. But after I bought it, i never even cared enough for its plastic body since it weight so less that you wont even feel you are holding a 'plastic' phone in your hand.
With Galaxy S2, things get even more interesting because its even more pleasureable to hold in hand as compared to Galaxy S. That said, after seeing the SuperAMOLED Plus display on it, you will forget about everything else.

wanted to know that If the incredible S falls from a height of 5 Feet would it survive !!??!!
5 Feet? Well i agree with that guy who asked you to Buy it and Try It .

On a serious note ... any Touch Screen phone is not damage resistant. The weakest spot on these phones are their Screens. 2nd weak Spot ... well, the Screen.
Companies are talking 'some' precautionary measures by adding a Gorilla Glass Display which is famous being not easily breakable.
That said, A device will take more damage on an unexpected fall if its designed "Bulky" and "Weighs More".

So now, talking specifically with regard to Incredible S, it is Bulky, Weights More, But has a Gorilla Glass display ... 80% chances are it'll take more damages as compared to a GalaxyS2 which will get comparatively less damage if suffers an unexpected fall.

Talking specifically with regard to "Luck" ... as i said earlier, it totally depends on your luck.
Sometimes, you'll crack the screen of your handset by just sitting on it
Sometimes, you crack the screen by dropping it from a mere 2.5 feet height.
And sometimes your handset survives even if it fells from 10 feet ( just for the sake of argument, i dont really mean that 10 feet thingy :p )

Not everyone wants to buy a used handset you know. Dont know why you always go around recommending everyone to buy used sets when it obviously isnt the same thing as buying new and is something that is all about personal preference.

Heh. I too have noticed that abobobilly aggressively promotes the purchase of used handsets. You can never be 100% sure of a handset's history and how it was treated by it's previous owner. Then again, that's his opinion, and can be easily ignored. To be fair though, the OP did not specifically ask for recommendations on a new handset.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
