yes, its really amazing what they do over there theming jailbroken iphones, theres way more and better to. Of course for people who arent into that stuff it wont be up their alley, they more impressed with something as simple as inverted manila icons or something

who said it was easier??

all im saying is that from a visual standpoint, our themes/layouts/setups are mostly ugly. People here may not think so and they are entitled, but generally windows mobile users are not artfully inclined. No offense to anybody, it just kills me that as a skinner Im on the device with the most limitations on the core OS visuals. I am glad the MS is taking steps forward with 6.5.x (very easy to skin, uses png's with transparency layers) but it still has its limitations and at this point is mere babysteps as to what you can do on other OS's


once again Im talking pure visuals and eye-candy here. Not important to everybody but it really is something that bothers me

sidenote:eventhough its imitation you wont find anything like this for windows mobile that wont bring the device to a crawl. just to show a mix of eye candy and functionality

no. i like the freedom in winmo

The Iphone is bad ass phone. The iphone is thin and i like that. The iphone has a glass screen and i like that also.

I like my TP2 way more then the iphone. Many reasons i like TP2, but the iphone imho has a better screen(glass). I don't hate on iphones or android. I let the haters hate because they are just jealous on phones. To each it's own.
Some people like WM some droid, apple .Different styles for different folks.

Now to answer OP's Original question. If vzw had Iphone , the only reason i would get the iphone if vzw had shitty and it was free with the option of getting insurance.

The OP is a troll. Move along

I personally love my Touch pro 2....If you would ask me this question when I had the Touch pro, I would consider it, but still not sure if I would take an iphone.

I simply love being able to customize my phone on the fly when ever I want to. If I don't like something I can look it up. I enjoy troubleshooting issues and learning...

I've heard multiple times that people wish they had a physical keyboard on their iphone, which I love having the option between a touch keyboard/physical.

I <3 my tp2 lol

I did use iphone...made a thread to minimize iphone boredom and I was just left with a mediocre device..nice launcher but as far as what I needed to do, iphone didn't meet my needs

I would but I would also have my TP2 around to switch out every once in a while

If you're running TF3D, you can use png images all day regardless of what it's running on top of (WM 6.1/6.5/6.5.x) as long as you know how to convert the images to manila files. Spend 5 minutes reading how to modify manila images and you can have as much or as little eye candy as you want. There also may not be many taskbars posted here, but once again, take a few minutes, learn how to make a 32x32 icon and you can have any color combos that you want with any graphics that you want as well. It may take a little bit longer, but there can be way more "eye candy" had in WM in my opinion, and far more options with layout if you use a different interface (TF3D, Titanium, SPB Mobile Shell) that anything I saw in the thread you linked to. The only thing you won't get is the text rendering, which is nicer on Mac based software. If you want a truly customizable interface and user experience, I'd say that WM is probably the better option as you can change nearly everything about it for colors and icons. You can even set custom icons for program launchers so you don't have to see the program icon that is associated with the exe or program itself.
