While the shape is similar between the two, the Desire S is slimmer and has a more rigid unibody construction.

Overview:
Alright they all got revamps, new skin, more ram, newer chipsets (same speed), and an “S”. Still feels like HTC is kinda lagging behind old hardware in a new shiny case. Even if the new designs look good, they lack the features to keep up with the other companies that are pushing dual-core processors and new GPUs. Do you think HTC missed an oppurtunity?

Come on HTC…. Blow my mind soon.
so basically the Desire S is an HTC Glacier/MT4G with a .1 inch smaller screen and smaller internal memory (unless that 1.1GB is what’s available to the end user) and minus the track pad and real buttons.
