I had an iPhone for about 6 weeks because I wanted to try something new but that phone just didn't do the things I needed. The interfaces are nothing alike in my opinion.
Back to the TF3D interface, I can see everything from my today screen that you see on your's except for weather which for as much as I care it's pretty simple to touch the tab.
To each their own, it's obviously a personal preference thing... I for one will not be going back to the standard WM interface.

Are you sure your TF3D shows everything mine does?
Mine shows whether bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on or off and you can toggle them by touching the icon. At this is just with one little app installed. If I was using other apps like the SPB Shell, as a couple other people here prefer the difference would be greater.
However, you make a good point that no one else has made so far and is was sort of what I was looking for. After playing around some more with it, you are indeed more or less right, at least with my currently loaded software, it does show *almost* all the same stuff and if you scroll down the clock gets smaller so more stuff fits. The only problem is if you toggle back and forth between today screens it resets to the HUGE clock
. I like it much better if it would just default to the small clock. But at least now we seem to be having a more constructive discussion here instead of weird remarks like
you're 'attacking' HTC, you 'deliberately' registered just to 'rant', why are you mentioning the iPhone!?!?! What does this have to do with the iPhone!??!?! Geez, we're just talking about a freakin phone here, not world politics.
The BT and WiFi status are fairly minor and it takes a swipe, and then two presses to see the weather forecast - which is not as minor to me. Like I said, I find the weather forecast to be more important than the current time. Any wall clock, car clock, computer, or wristwatch will give you the time and one of those is virtuall always around and if you want it on your phone just display it in the top bar. Getting the current weather forecast isn't as readily available as the time.
Let me reiterate my reference to the iPhone was in the general sense that the interface is moving in a more finger friendly direction, like the iPhone. I agree the interfaces are totally different. BUT, what is the damn facination with huge clocks on phone screens? I've noted the iPhone has one too. Did it sort of increase the popularity of these big clocks when it came out? If so, a lot of skin developers sure have followed suit.
TF3D would be so much better if you could get rid of the clock and put it in the top status bar so you could display more information, including the 5-day weather forecast on the Home screen with an easy way to toggle cities without having to slide to weather and press the screen a couple times or more.
It may grow on me though if I could learn to live without the weather on my home screen, but that's almost like learning to live without my upcoming appointments on my home screen, almost.
