Some other highlights from the review (partially: subjective opinions of the author of the review):
- HTC S650 has no scroll wheel but just a touch-pad-like JOGGR; Samsung i600 has a genuine scroll wheel
- HTC S650 has mini-USB connector and Samsung uses proprietory one
- HTC's smarpthone has better camera than Samsung
- Samsung has better keyboard than HTC's smartphone
- Samsung's smartphone is smaller than HTC's smartphone
