Keep the android and go for some hardware or controller or something.

If you think about it, Androids are basically the same thing as iPhones and here's why:
Android = Linux = Unix
iPhone = Mac OS X = Unix
in effect, setting iPhones and Androids equal...except for the iPhone having the typical Apple lockdown preventing any sort of user customization.

trust me mang, once you DO get a new phone. get an iphone 4 - or a 4s if siri and double processing power is worth another $200.

the iphone screen is DRAMATICALLY than any other android phone, the retina display also makes it one of the brightest and clearest displays you can get on a phone, annddd the touch screen and its sensitivity/calibration is so much easier to use. combine that with the fact that it performs the same tasks with half the button presses - and i couldn't care less what any other phone can do.

the screen and how easy/quick it is to use is the reason everyone has one. not because of idiotic apple fanboy fucktards.

valid points. I am a fan of customization, however, and I'm sure that soon Androids will be rolling out with higher-end displays than iPhone. I'm also a fan of solid buttons combined with touch-sensitive display. As far as ease of use? I hate ease of use. When everything is made simple for me and I don't have to do any work to get what I want that is boring to me.

My suggestion still stands, though.

ease of use is nice when I can get directions or a phone number and call it all during the time at a red light. I have my custom desktop pc when I want customization. but to each his own - wasn't trying to come down on your personal taste. :)

I jailbroke mine, and I can pretty much do what I want with it now. It's practically running an android system :lol:

Would be better if Apple lifted its lockdown on the OS. Jailbreaking seems less stable and I've had run into many OS-related problems with Jailbreaking. Meh, I don't really want to argue any longer.

Yeah animoog is $10.

@jrisreal - Okay, I'll stop the debate...but just saying when I jailbroke it, mine was still pretty stable and I could do things like play flash files on the browser, etc

Just some advice....

A phone is a phone is a phone. Seriously, you are trying to decide weather to choose it over your hobby?
Ive noticed your setup is missing something fairly crucial. Sound insulation! Get you room fixed up first I say

dude if you already got a droid then buy a plug, (can i recommended FM8? :] )

im still rocking a pre-smart phone touch screen. Before apps existed.

think about it thisway, youll have more fun with a new plug in. and you can just wait a little while for the iphone 5

Was going to suggest stealing the phone and buying a plug, too late.

Save the money for the iphone 5 or as a cushion. On the other hand, you could buy a plug-in. I have the 4s and it has a high quality camera and video recording (reason I bought one), but personally I would not buy the 4s now.
