sigh... ok this is just very sad state of affairs if we need to go through all this effort to make ourselves feel good about our devices.

If an iphone user posted a similar thread on their forums about wanting to make his iphone like a WMO device so he could simply prove a point... I think he'd be laughed off the board.

First off, I could care less to make my phone look like an Iphone, but if someone else does, regardless of what his reason is, then so be it. More power to him.

With that said, Why do you care? If you don't like it. Keep moving.

To the OP:

Don't listen to discouraging comments on this board. Some people have nothing better to do.

Heheh, that's too true. Laughed, insulted, denigrated... but that's because from my own observation, iPhone users are anti-Microsoft Apple snobs! People like me who own and can appreciate the benefits of either platform are really rare on iPhone forums. Once someone brought up that he'd really like a WinMo emulator or VM for iPhone. The hardware can certainly handle it, but a lot of people insulted the guy for wanting WinMo on his phone, a lot of people responded with things like, "Why would you want that? Windows Mobile sucks!". Personally, I thought it would be badass, and a whole lot more useful than putting Linux on an iPhone... a project that people slaved over, accomplished, and never questioned. What the heck is the point of getting Linux to run on a device that already runs a flavor of Unix as its native OS?

Although there's a fair bit of anti-iPhone sentiment on WinMo forums, it's not nearly as prevalent as the reverse on iPhone forums.

Not sure I understand your motivation.
My primary phone is an iPhone, and as an iPhone user you'd have to show me a lot more than a program that makes a Diamond pretend to act like an iPhone in order to impress me. Probably what impresses iPhone users the most about my Diamond is the Teeter game with vibrator feedback. Well, it didn't impress my sister much, but it sure impressed my wife and I. The Teeter game seems much more refined than anything similar for the iPhone. In general though, there are a ton more quality games for iPhone, at least that I could find. Another thing that impressed me about the Diamond is how tiny the pixels are, crispness of text and graphics, and how tiny you can scale a font down and still be readable. That only impressed me because I'm a nerd, my wife seemed less impressed by that.

Anyway, if the objective is to impress your iPhone-using friend, then find some cool games that show off what the Diamond can do. And once you find those games, let me know what they are. I was originally impressed that there's a Guitar Hero 3 Mobile for WinMo, but then was disappointed to hear it's QVGA only and doesn't run on the Diamond.

iFonz, winterface, iDiamond (expiring soon), few others I'm sure I don't know about.

If he really said that, his iPhone must not be jailbroken and hacked.

There's a lot more to the iphone than the homescreen... Obviously he's not a power user.

[rockspeoplesfaces]

that is very true he is a basic user, not to high-tech of a guy

Maybe some people prefer the iPhone homescreen? It does make sense to some extent if you don't need to see much info (today screen) or do not like TF3D. You can easily access all your apps within a click and still retain a bit of eye candy. As for pricing, I think you forget that the iphone is locked to AT&T and costs more than a Diamond/TP when you factor in contract prices, especially vs. Sprint.
