What do you want to do with it? |

I'm looking to get a new phone. I really want the iPhone 4, and I'm wondering how does it stack up to an android for around the same price range (100 bucks). |

iPhone, definitely... iOS 5 is fantastic and you can't beat the combination of great hardware and software, though I'm sure for the price that should be expected. Siri isn't bad either, though I'm sure it'll get better with future updates. |

As long as you go with a higher end device, Android definitely. It kills in comparison to customization and user functionality. Sure, iOS has things the Android doesn't (but that doesn't mean you can't find an alternative that does just that and possibly better) 95% of the iPhone market is paid applications. (I think we can make a decision based off just that) Also there are a wide variety of Lucid Dreaming applications such as my personal favorite "Lucid Dreaming App" from a fellow Dream Views member Alexander Stone. It is an extremely advanced piece of software that includes sleep tracking through actigraphy and it even tracks when you have your REM cycles. This application is extremely advanced and may be a bit much to take in at first but after a few days of setting it up it will become one of your favorite LD softwares. Other pieces of software include Lucid Dreamcatcher (A dreamjournal on your Android!) and Lucid Dreamer by Guaranis that plays bineural beats after a set amount of time such as 45 minutes (So you can fall asleep before they play |

iPhone so you can use Ev's almost released LD'ing app! |

I'm not that big on apps. Most of the ones I had on older phones I paid for anyway. Games would be good, and yeah...good customer service on the phone. I've heard at least two stories this year about people taking weeks to get their phone fixed because the company couldn't do it. |
|
Mind you, when I've taken my iMac to get repaired, it took a month. Not sure if they had to send it to another country or what, but it was ridiculous. |

An iPhone Apple will usually just replace for you. If customer service and games are important to you, go with the iPhone. It's a much more powerful gaming platform because programmers like knowing exactly what type of hardware they are coding for. I haven't seen any android that stacks up to the graphics card of the iPhone. And you can't beat the geniuses, advice and software help is always free. |

Rule 1: Never buy Apple products. |

If you already own other Apple products (and like them) go with the iPhone. If you do not own other Apple products or have iCloud, there's really no benefit of having an iPhone over an Android, it's just a status symbol/"coolness" accessory without other Apple products (although that could be said for ALL Apple products, but when you have an iMac, iPad, iPhone, etc all together, iCloud makes shit real easy to manage.) |

When I got a smartphone I went with android due to ideologically disagreeing with Apple's closed platform. Another advantage with Android is that since the section is broader, you have a greater chance of finding a phone that looks sleek to you, and you can choose from a bigger prize-range. If you don't disagree with Apple, though, and think that iPhone is the hottest thing out there, there's no reason not to get it. |

April Ryan is my friend,
Every sorrow she can mend.
When i visit her dark realm,
Does it simply overwhelm.
Every day is a party with Android! |

Get an Android, you can customize just about....well everything on the phone. I actually play with phones a lot, and study them quite a bit. I rooted my Exhibit 2 4g earlier this week (Mid grade Android phone 512 mb RAM and 1 Ghz processor), and now I'm running a custom ROM that pretty much has enabled me to do anything on my phone that it previously wasn't allowed to do (due to T-mo). |
