I have an HTC desire and I'm relatively happy with it overall, what is so special about the Samsung Galaxy that is worth the extra cost?
With the iphone I understand to an extent because it is more of a unique device but apart from minor spec/feature differences android phones seem pretty interchangeable to me.
Yup. They have fairly good, fairly popular phones, like the Desire or Desire HD but these get replaced with newer models so quickly they never gain enough traction to become Jesus phones (both Apple and Samsung have only one Jesus phone a year).

HTC doesn't have a Jesus phone. Apple does, Samsung does, and Motorola is pretending to.

What?! HTC HD2 is about as perfect as you can get. I think it gets overlooked because it's not Android.
The HD2 can't compare to something like the iPhone or Galaxy S2. It's two years old and you have to hack it to install a modern OS.

Samsung actually has more than one: SGS2 and the Galaxy Nexus. I'd bet HTC is really regretting not making an effort in the Nexus program last year...
