Just as thought - Off-topic

I've used already a Symbian phone, a Windows mobile phone, an iphone, and now I have an Android
But I see all the time one thing..
For any kind of phone, there is always some one that wants to turn-it in to any other kind of phone..
A windows phone to look-a-like a android, android to look-a-like a iphone, an iphone to look-a-like a windows etc etc...
I think each phone OS as it's own capabilities, and it's own virtues, good things and less good things.
I'm not a developer, but if I was one I think I would focus in improving the OS in things they are not so good.
It's just a thought, and for the one that do this look-a-like other phone thing, please do not be offended, it's was not my intention.
Thanks

I really hate that, especially if it was an iphone-mac-windows look-a-like

umm ya know u dont have to install every last bad/tasteless theme if u dont want to
do you see others coming up and ranting about dragon ball themes ?

Yeah I always wondered about that. If you want that type of phone then why didn't you buy it in the first place right? Haha some people are crazy XD

Anyone who sold their Kaiser for an iPhone is a very silly man!

are you bored of your iPhone yet? are the features getting old? do you miss windows mobile? Do you have anything to look forward to?
should have kept your Kaiser...
Oh good... another useful thread.
Reporting to close. . .
I'd rather have a kaiser of an iphone. Although, I'm pretty sure people are able to make some kind of software for the iPhone now. hacking it or something.
I had the iPhone and I came to the kaiser. Its called jailbreaking, once you do that an app called installer shows up and you install apps from there.

1.1.3 is full of apps now. I actually use the iPhone a little bit more than the Kaiser today. Just because I wanted to see what's all the fuss was about with 1.1.3. But hey iPhone and Kaiser are both great devices, that can not be compared.
You can compare a Kaiser vs. Touch, or iPhone vs. Prada. Both are very different devices. Those who say same old functions, what do you mean same ole functions, both devices are packed with apps.

iPhone = silly cell phone that pretends to be and costs like a PDA

Anyone who gets a iphone is a very silly person.....Kaiser has so many apps. and programs that iphone doesn't

I'll take it farther - I'll take Windows over Mac any day.
Heck I'd rather use Win98 than latest Mac OS.
And this one time, at band camp..............
I would take Lepord over Vista and WM over OSX Mobile. Mac's win in the computer's side but not on the Mobile side.
you can keep ur kaiser and ur iphone.........my firefly pwns them both
Ahahaha, like that will ever happen. . .
haha..
the iphone...
i had 1.. also my uncle had 1..
we played... we had fun!!!...
but....
then it came sooo repetitive...
the same things always...
then i sold it...
and my uncle too =) ...
haha..
is just funny.. i had both devices..
well i have my kaiser because it has more apps, productivity and some Business Man Style.. iphone was for me more like a psp than a pda =)
*too the first 2 repliers**
i made this thread not to gain any new apps or prosper from, but just for talk. to hear opinions and compare the 2. yea there are other threads like it, but i dont find this thread pointless, perhaps it's just the wording I used.
so it appears most people went with the iphone and then they realized everything was the same. yea there are apps for Mac OS but not enough to make you wanna keep the phone. the emulators for the iphone arent that great either, all screen and not really stable.
ok.. for that is the off-topic so..
maybe a "Social Room" will solve things like this
i.e: a social room in kaiser section for kaiser users =)

ive seen another forum where on the front page there is some sort of IM thing, that would be nice. users just talk on the front page.
yes that would be great!!!.. it can be done with java.. can we do this mods? or admins?
btw, awesome page comparing the Iphone and the Nokia E70

Turning PPC into IPhone

Friends,
Is it possible to skin the AT&T WM6 ppc phone to look and behave like the Apple IPhone?
Tvos
Here's what you need
$400 and this
Do a search for "iphone skin" and programs like iFonz will help you.
Try to make it look unique and useful, instead of making it look like anothe 'me-too' product from Apple...

You're asking Kaiser Owners how to do this?
That's like going to the dark side and asking if theres anyway to skin your Red saber to look like obi-wans shiny blue one...
iphone skins are like dragQueens == you are not fooling that many people in the end
Why does everybody want having his phone look like that gayPhone (or anything starting with i- )?
So you're saying the WM6 user interface is better looking than the iPhone?
Please, I wish you all would STFU with that elitist asshole garbage man. The iPhone interface IS slick and DOES look good. Sometimes people don't want to deal with the WM interface, it isn't pretty. It isn't slick. Period.
If you don't like the fact that he wants an iPhone skin,stay the hell out of his thread, especially if you aren't going to contribute. He apparently doesn't care about your opinion about HIS phone, leave him alone.
Back on topic: Sorry about just adding to the clutter of your thread man, best advice I can give you is to just search around. I haven't tried any iPhone skins, but I do want to try it just to see how it works out.
well said noyz. the chap came on here looking for an answer (which, admittedly if he had searched a little he would have found) and everyone jumps at the occasion to spout loads of 'LOLZ IPHONE IS **** LOLZ' rubbish. people can skin their wm phones however they want - and im sure some people want it to look like an iphone, whilst retaining the kaisers excellent features. i personally dont, but i do use s2u, which i find is an excellent app.
my advice is to search here, and also - if you find theres a bit too much - give youtube a try - most of the 'wm6 iphone' style videos will list somewhere how they've done it, or at least what programs were used - and you'll get a good idea of what sort of stuff you want and dont.

Because its all about choices in life, He bought performance, how on earth can it behave like a iphone with WM, different touchscreen, different hardware etc. I think the interface of the iphone is beatifull, but it performs like nothing.
He decided performace, so he should accept that its not possible to make it a iphone, if he wants, sell the HTC and buy a iphone.
Why does everyone get mad when people suggest to sell the phone to get the iphone? If you want the iPhone UI and feel get an iPhone, plain and simple.
its obviously he doesnt want to magically turn it into an iphone! he just wants it to have a similar ui and look to it. hence the 'how can i skin my phone to look like an iphone'
my point about the 'sell the phone and buy an iphone' comment was that it wasnt constructive help in anyway. its like telling him he should have crapped in a toilet if he had announced that he crapped his pants, so to speak. it doesnt help at all.
what if you want the look and layout of an iphone but you want a wm device and all the features kaiser has? your way of thinking suggests your answer would be to buy nothing and wait, when an appropriate compromise can be made.

Yes, because itæs simply not possible to add an iphone UI to a WM6 device, I will not say het should sell his HTC and iphone, thats a little bit short thinking.
BUT, the poster should keep in mind that he does not have a iphone it is or-or, not both, a iphone iu will never be near realistic since the hardware is so different..

i agree, and it would be very naive to believe that a wm6 device could have an exact iphone ui, but for the sake of arguing - what can be done (taking into account differences in hardware) its not a million miles off.
without making too many assumptions, i would imagine the majority of those that use an iphone style ui on their wm6 device do so purely for aesthetic reasons.

Hello Tvos,
If you're not interested in the WinMo interface and wont something that feels like an iPhone, you may want to test out an application called Point UI. It is not an iPhone interface but it does similarities like a sliding interface.
Hope this helps.

Crack! screen on Raphael?

I've seen this application just came for the iPhone and I thinks its a cool prank application and I wish if someone could port this for the Raphael? It's possible? Here's a video of what I'm talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1nHE-Pi92w
haha thats cool
hope somebody can make it
Stop requesting copied apps from iPhone
don't you think if you want all these apps from iphone, then just get an iphone.....let the developers make apps that make iphone users want our phones...HTC Touch Pro rocks....iphone sucks
your saying that apps make the phone then
its just an app made for the iphone, that doesnt say anything about the phone. I agree with you that i dislike the iphone, i hate the hype, and i hate the marketing scams, but honastly, mac wins me over on their software everything feels more "smooth"
what I don't get is why people are requesting all this really stupid ****, seriously why would anyone pay money for any of it? It's total garbage
Totally agree
Easy people, I know that HTC kick ass, specially iPhone ass. But I just saw the application a I think it's cool, yeah totally stupid and useless but cool. And just wondering if someone can make something like this.
I saw this tread a few days ago and didnt expect these kind of reponses.. YES, its completly useless and YES, it came out on Ibone first, but does that alone make it crap? Personally, i think that its great that Ibone can get noobs excited about touchphone despite the fact that it is completly overpriced and made to much into a '' hype''. Finally i want to say this: Problably for most of us this is not our first touch phone (and problably not the last), i started with the Qtek s100 and what i partially loved about it was the fact that we could have almost unlimited apps and tweaks/mods so despite how useless of a app it may seem i still would like something useless as this as well, and NO i dont want a Ibone.

Very intelligent reply to a honest question. We should all definitely change our opinions of what we think a cool app is based on your very intellectually worded opinion. I'm sure you don't spend your money on something that others might consider stupid right? Is it not ok for someone else to spend their money on what they want and have a different opinion....or should everyone feel how you feel and be a mindless clone?
Just a bunch of Jr Members talking **** and not being productive whatsoever great job guys thats what this forum is for!!
We should count out everything that comes from the iphone right?
What a smart way to grow...
I want this app
I work for a cell phone retailer and would love to have this active when my customers ask to see my phone since our demo's are zipped tied to our display. I would love to see their reaction when they touch my screen and this happens. Im all for it.
iphone ports
its a fun prank to play on some one who owns a iphone, but.....
you have to figure out how to sneek the phone away from them
know how to install a program on the iphone
and finally be ready to record their reaction if there is one at all
but on the same note this app is useless. Fun as a prank to play on your buddies who cherish their phone. But just like me I never let my phone out of my sight. with that said I find it useless to request "ports" because why waste time porting an app when you could spend valuable time making a emulator that will run an iphone os, android for example.

We need iPhones Done Drinking game!!

I wish a dev would put out a game like the Done Drinking game on the iphone. You have to use the accelrometer on the iphone to balancing this drunk guy through an alley after drinking all night!!

Actually, I agree with Mast3rmatt here. I don't know about you, but I bought my G1 specifically because it ISN'T an iPhone. The iPhone isn't the be-all and end-all of all phones!
The G1 does far more for me than an iPhone ever could. If all the apps you like aren't available for the G1, why did you buy it in the first place?

He didn't say he wanted the G1 to do everything the iPhone does, he just likes one app from it and was hoping someone would copy it to the G1, there is also doom for the G1, Doom started life as a PC game does that mean those playing doom on a G1 wanted a PC instead?
wtf is wrong with ppl being smartass's he just asked for one thing if u dont got nothin nice to say dont say it at all
why exactly do we NEED this?
Ok maybe I should of said that I would like to have this app on the G1. I have no interest in the iphone at all. the G1 does all that I need and some. If I were able to make apps I would but I dont know how, so this is why Im requesting a dev make this app available for the G1. As for those who have nothing better to do but to leave stupid comments about someones request...i suggest you go do your homework before your parents take away your computer privlages.
well the IPhone dose have alot better games than the gphone. but no i do not want an i phone, but would like the iphone games.

Got myself an iphone :<

Hello, i am a WM user since my qtek s200, and that is a way back, i love WM phones, i had over 6 WM devices and now i had a contract renewal and i got myself an iphone 3gs. I am a iphone hater -or maybe was-, and i do have the device for 4 days now. To my suprise the iphone is really good, really fast, and now that has turn by turn navigation its really usable. Fluent graphics, really powerful applications, and really really good support.
I thought i would never say this, but i am selling both my HD's, and its gonna take me a while to get back to WM devices.
Flame as you guys want, i just wanted to give my 2 cents on the thing thats happening.
I went the other way. Had enough of the low-res toy that is the Iphone, with Apple constantly blocking users from doing what they want.
My condolences
Well - as always it depends on what you want from your device... If you are satisfied with the abilities apple lets you use - go for the iphone. If you want a device you can customize in every way you want - go for a WM-device. And I have to agree with arfster: The resolution on the iphone is a disgrace! I'm definitely not willing to go to anything below VGA after having a WVGA device!
But I'm happy as long as your happy with the iphone!

I used to own an iPod touch (Iphone without the phone) and just found it to gimmicky. Sooner or later you will get bored of useless apps & games and come running back
Anyway have fun with your iPhone! I certainly would like to have one for 12 months +!

Congratuations.
I've seen enough of what it can do to know that you're making the right move. Once jailbroken, I've seen how customizable it is, perhaps even more customizable than winmo phone. Everytime I see her, the phone looks different. She was having a HTC Hero look just the other day, and before that it looked like a Palm Pre. I've seen my cousin's iPhone and played with it, and it is truly amazing and awesome. Fantastic application functionalities and choices. Fantastic speed and smoothness. Fantastic for internet on the go. Fantastic media device.
I'm half way there in my saving to buy a second hand 3GS.

What stuff from HTC Hero or Palm Pre did you actually see? Are you certain that it is customizable. Because all I can see is the same old home screen with an HTC Hero Wallpaper.
Yes you now have turn by turn navigation but just see what happens when you take a phone call. On my Diamond TomTom just continued working and I could chat away to my heart's content. The iPhone will terminate the satnav application to tale the call. The iPhone is very, very shiny but has some serious restrictions - not to mention having to jailbreak to get away from the control freakery that is Apple.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
theres my thoughts
kidding but in all seriousness, and im sure we remember the other conversations iphone is for ppl and winmo is for others
it depends on what ur needs are from the deivice
What is it about people that they feel the need to come on a Windows Mobile forum to start a new thread to announce that they just got a new iPhone ?
Can't they just ressurrect one of the other 1000 threads that were started everytime Apple passes gas. ?
I have five Macs currently, am typing this on a Mac, my first PDA was an Apple Newton. I have been an Apple fanboy for 30yrs. And am on my second iPhone.
I also love my Kaiser. Now when I got my new 3Gs last month, my first thought wasn't to rush right over to XDA to start a new thread to announce that I had gotten a new iPhone, why is that everyone elses first thought ?
Can we just add all the " I just got a new iPhone " threads to the AS team's list of duties ?

No, it's more than a mere wallpaper. It also includes customizing the icons, the keyboards, the phone pad, the home screen itself, etc.
Did some googling, and found this..
Of course, don't expect it to have the complete behaviour of HTC hero, just like you would not expect a winmo phone that has been customized to mimic iphone to behave like iPhone.
Cheers.
