I'm gonna buy a new phone just for internet,apps and normal stuff i'm not intrested in gaming.
I have to chose between this 2 devices,but they seems very similar >_<
I don't like sense but there are a lot of custom rom,i just want a stable ICS rom but the camera on the nexus S really sucks
what should I buy? i'm talking about the i9023 version
As you stated, Desire has better camera and video is 720. Even so, I think Nexus S takes decent photos.
One thing I would recommend, is to check around on both forums (mostly on the development and Q/A). This way you can get a bigger picture and a grasp of known issues on both devices.
Not sure about Desire's forum, but Nexus S is one of the best here on XDA. Development is awesome and you would have a lot of options with ICS ROMs which are more than stable.
Nexus S every time.

My friend has a desire HD, and he wants my phone, and I like his very much as well. It belongs to if you like HTC sense or not, I think. But I highly recommend the Nexus S

If you want an awesome dev community, than Nexus s.
if you want a better camera, than Desire
I would compare them side to side if possible and decide that way (i.e. not on specs), the screens and body construction are very different.
Desire HD has a better clscreen

i have both phones and i occasionally switch back and forth. The desire hd is nice because it has solid construction, a bigger screen (if thats what you want), better camera, and the extra ram on it is really nice to have. I prefer the nexus s however because its lighter, smaller, and with custom roms its much snappier than the desire hd.
HTC sense is beautiful, but I think Nexus S is better!
Advice
I have personally used both devices and here is my guidance
Desire HD vs Nexus S:
1. D HD as very good screen and fits anyone's palm very well... whereas NS is almost same but a bit slim... but both tie up because the resolution is almost same
(i9023 is indian version which has Super LCD instead of AMOLED) AMOLED Nexus S has complete pitch black where there is black, but LCD has little bit grey
2. D HD has a good camera and so does NS... but if u install latest version of ICS on D HD, video camera doesn't work... check Desire HD sections if u need further info... whereas Nexus S rocks...
3. Development for Desire HD is low compared to Nexus S... Means if Android 5.0 releases, Nexus S and Desire HD both may have chance to get it, but if 6.0 releases, HD has very low chances, very very
4. Desire HD has good built quality, but it had more mass and weight than NS, so the chance of breaking when dropped is more in D HD, whereas NS may survive with opened back and scraches
Final advice >
Go for Desire HD if u are not a tech person and will stick to stock (manufacturer provided OS) and enjoy the features
Go for Nexus S if tech is ur best time pass, new roms, new stuff to show to friends everyday... and if 5.0 releases Nexus S will surely gets it... Not sure about Desire HD... Nexus S may even get 6.0 - If u r a noob ignore this and go with desire hd
NOTE: TRY FOR NEXUS S I9020 NOT I9023, LCD HAS ISSUES
@Above I have an i9023 and i have no screen issues.

Nexus S is better than Desire HD because it is a Google phone with latest Android version.

I'll go for a Nexus for these 2 major reasons:
1. Fully supported by Google and AOSP
2. The biggest community of all phones

If i remember correctly the desire hd has 768 mb of RAM which Is quite a determinative factor....

Cut it short.
If its Sense, Stock, Beats, with a crazy oc of 1.7ghz... Go ahead with Desire HD. WHICH IS SO HARD TO ROOT WITH THIS DEVICE.
or
You can go with the best performance with best devs, themes by best themers and best tweaks made by brainmaster, GO FOR THE NEXUS!
The easier to root device, easier to flash, easier to get 4.0.4 IMM76I fast.
Must remember, Nexus S is one of the best devices and the first to have a NFC Chip.... Which you can scan smartags...

No it wasn't lmao. The nexus 4 is a tmobile or other carrier device, and the Google nexus 4 is purchased via playstore AFAIK.

No, in antutu, tests with a Nexus 4 (regardless of whether it was purchased in the play store or not) show up as "Nexus 4".

I was reading about specifications in Nexus 4 and Optimus G, and they are almost twins, wich one is better?
There's a Oxygen like rom for Optimus G?
Don't know if there's a place for questions like this, sorry if I'm asking in the wrong section...
They are the same on the inside for the most part but the G has more storage I believe. The software is very different. You can't flash software between them but you can flash the G and turn it into an 8gb nexus 4.
Um well the nexus is directly from Google so you can expect updates first so there is one difference.

Actually I own both devices and Optimus G has almost perfect function with nexus 4 conversion. Well since Optimus G also has some blooming development Optimus G is not a bad choice.
One thing I have to say is the screen is so much better. It really is. I have no idea why but if you just compare those two, it is so much better
I guess there is a reason why Optimus G is slightly more expensive than Nexus 4

In my opinion Nexus is more interesting device as updates are directle from google (already was said), looks nice (glass) and just simple as the phone must be
Well guys I don't know if I made the right choice here but I have a nexus 4 coming my way even though I have the HTC one
Don't know if it was the smartest decision to buy now specially since the one has better hardware specs but seeing all these you tube videos on the nexus 4 and how smooth it is and better ROM support I was tempted and so here I am now waiting for my device.
Any good first good ROM you guys recommend for my nexus 4?

I went the other way round. I now have the HTC One. Regarding smoothness though you are right. The Nexus 4 is buttery smooth.
You are going to feel it though. The HTC One is a premium device. It shows in the sound quality, screen and camera. These features are lacking in the Nexus 4. But in terms of ROM support there is no comparison. The Nexus 4 has plenty.
Regarding performance though I believe the Nexus 4 has the advantage. A lot of games that were smooth on my Nexus 4 stutter on the One and I believe that is due to the difference in resolution. On the One its a 1080p display, a lot more pixels to push data to.
You may have been better off doing the Google conversion on the One. That's what I did and am currently running Android 4.3.
P.S like the guy above posted. Paranoid is indeed the ROM to flash. If there's anything I really miss from my Nexus 4 it was this.
