Hi guys

I am trying to change my phone (currently Nokia 5800) and get an android phone but I can't seem to be able to make up my mind easily. I have read mixed reviews on all these phones and I don't know which one to pick. Most of my concerns are about the Reception issues and hardware issues. Can someone who has used them compare these three phones in terms of features and reception?

Im so confused!
Thanks
 
All three are pretty good when it comes to reception. Generally big phones have superior reception over small ones, and guess why? The phone body is an antenna, and big flat phones make bigger, better antennas.

There is no point in getting a Galaxy S when you can get a Nexus S. But are siblings, except the Nexus S gets the latest updates from Google first and its pushed directly to the phone. No need for Kies, and none of the "extras" Samsung likes to load their phones.

The Incredible S is also amazing. It comes down if you prefer the vanilla Android on the Nexus S, if you want things pure and simple, to the style and extravagance of the HTC Sense interface, which is a draw by itself. I would suggest checking some Youtube videos and giving a handson on both phones.
 
Nexus S is essentially the Galaxy S with the kinks worked out. It is the best of the single-core phones. Because it does not have carriers getting in the way of firmware updates, it has the best short-term and long-term maintainability.
 
I've used both the Incredible S and the Nexus S, and it's not an easy call even then.

Personally, I'd go with the Nexus S just because it's the official Google phone. That means no unremovable fluff, and Android updates will come quickly. It also has NFC, which should be useful in the next year or so.

The Incredible S has a great display and camera, and Sense is fine, but you know it'll only get so many updates and not always in a timely fashion. No NFC that I saw (it's on Android 2.2 out of the box, that's probably HTC's reason to exclude it).
