Hey guys n.. gals(if thr are any geeky ones out here :p)
So I have 2 choices an iPhone or Dell streak.. ofcourse feature wise dell streak is way better then iPhone but then iPhone is well iPhone it just has an amazing feel to it. Although my geeky instincts are yelling at me to go for Dell Streak instead :p, price is not a bar since am getting both at the same price level.
Regards,
rahul

P/S: please suggest out of only these 2 choices, cant go for any other :|

Dell Streak sucks... should not be an option IMO...

Instead, look at Sony Xperia Arc and Samsung Galaxy SII which actually compete with iPhone 4.

The iPhone 4 is really amazing... this is coming from an AndroidFan...

hey iphone 4 is available for 31k and not less than that while the dell streak costs around 22-23k.
How r u getting them at d same cost?
Dell streak has 5" display and it would be really hard for u to carry it around in your pocket,and yes iphone is iphone its really good n if u thinking to buy it then u can go for it.
Some other options which are available for you and are better than both of them are:
Samsung Galaxy S II->29-30k
HTC Sensation->30-30.5K
HTC Incredible S->26-26.5K
*the prices listed are approx price and the phones may be available for few hundred bucks less also but not more than it.

If you have to make a choice b/w these 2, and if you don't want to try other phones... then..

+1 for iPhone 4 !

Use a iPhone 4 and a Dell streak simultaneously you will know why streak is inferior :wink:

iPhone 4 is arguably in the worlds top 5 best mobiles now and the touch experience it gives is amazing :D :)

if u wanna choose 1 among the two then go for iphone 4.
And I don't care who is getting you these phones at the same price because its not possible as in US also(where they are available at the least price) streak costs $400(max) and iphone4 $649,the prices are for factory unlocked version,plz atleast inquire from where are you getting it.

You should have considered Samsung Galaxy S II & HTC Sensation. These are the phones which are quite comparable to iPhone 4. Dell Streak isn't !

aren't you hyping up Streak a bit. and sorry, it ain't the greatest android of all time. It is more like the bulkiest android of all time. It was a great device a year ago but now, much better devices have come out.

@OP, if strictly among these two, go with iPhone 4.

Tell me one thing... Why aren't you considering Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Incredible S OR HTC Sensation ?

If you don't want to get an iPhone, get one of these...

Dell Streak = Not recommened

^^^ +1

Sony Xperia Arc is also good. All these phones are better than iPhone 4 in some ways...

Not Dell Streak... it sucks...

Samsung Galaxy S II= lot better than iPhone 4. In hardware it pwns it!

It might even outspec iPhone 5 :p

But an iPhone is an iPhpne. Gets recognised wherever you take it. Bragging rights :D

If you want a phone primarily, go for the iPhone/S II. If you want something primarily for browsing the internet/ reading e-books etc, get the Dell Streak. For the record, the Streak does fit into trouser pockets comfortably.
