Assuming the Galaxy has the Amoled screen and is running Android, then I would go with the Samsung, if it is running BADA, then go for the HTC...

Actually the direct sunlight is an important factor I have not thought about  :y

HTC Desire is not the best in direct sunlight apparently, not sure about the Desire HD.
I say apparently as I've only had it about three months, so I've not seen much 'direct sunlight' as yet.
Apart from the speaker sound being a bit 'tinny', the Desire gets a :y from me.

Although not the HD version, here's a HTC Desire 'direct sunlight' video.

There are a couple of things with which my Desire HD really winds me up.
1 - The battery life is horrendous. On standby it will last forever but once you start to use it, and you will cos it's a smartphone, keep your charger handy :o
2 - All the guff apps that come with it, facemong and twitter to name just a couple, that you can't delete  >:(

The screen size/quality does go some way to redemption especially when iphone users are about as they quickly put their phones away  ;D

Don't know these work on a Desire HD .. but they certainly made a difference on a "normal" Desire..  might be worth a try ..

my 8 month old uk wave is bada. which is no good for your charts..

the reason i bought it was once all the toys are turned off the battery is good so you can use it as.. a phone.

My HTC Desire has been 'off charge' since 8am and after a day of light to medium use the battery is now at 64%. 
Running 'JuiceDefender' and 'Advanced App Killer' and I keep account 'Auto Sync' off.

I generally turn off all services, 3G which depletes the battery (only when I need something I turn on) ,  navigation (thats really a battery monster)

edge is more than enough to take my mails anyway..

nearly it stays 7-8 days until it needs charging :)

so well pleased with it..

but looking at the news next phone will be definitely nokia again as they agreed with microsoft for software..and I dont care if it hangs or not ;D

I like to keep all services on on my phone - thats the point of a smartphone. I'm just in the habit of charging it every morning for about a hour...


...I'm an email junkie  :-[, the second somebody hits send, I want my phone to alert me I have mail. Sad.

Cheers for that. I'll have a go at the battery doubling trick at the weekend when the phone can have a good charge.
