Hmmm, HTC HD2 is still more expensive than the Desire but more importantly, Desire and Galaxy are Android. It's like comparing an Amiga to a C64. Who the heck wants a crappy Android phone??? The whole reason for Android is so that less powerful phones can look like they can run an O/S at a reasonable speed. There's a very good reason why you can't buy TomTom, Route66 etc for Android!

I still think it's odd that I can play YouTube Flash videos in my browser on my WM6.5 phone but not watch VM video.

And no, the Galaxy cannot run Flash (unlike the Desire), unless you get hold of illegal ROMS and start hacking it and even then you'll end up knackering bits of the O/S that are already working.

They are specifically targetting the VM Player at mobiles as well as PCs. They have a whole section in their help files for it and are offering a free 1 hour worth of viewing time for VM customers.
