LOL. I am in the same boat. I can't stand ATT. But I have found the best of both worlds. I use wmwifirouter to create a wifi hotspot and all 3 of the apps work perfectly on my ipod touch. That is something that no iphone can do.

I've used this app on my device and haven't noticed any problems with it. It hasn't been buggy at all for me and I think it integrates just fine into the os. And whats wrong with the style of Fake Call, I think it follows the WinMo theme prefect.

The reason it doesn't integrate well with tf3d is because tf3d isn't the standard visual theme for Windows Mobile. Its a 3rd party skin on top of Windows Mobile created by HTC, so how could an app default into the tf3d style? What if someone was running a skin using SPB Shell? Do you expect Fake Call to integrate into the same style as that too? The iPhone was designed to be beautiful and only has one theme, so the fake call app can be designed with that in mind.
Sorry, I don't follow all the apps on the iPhone. Providing links is just easier for everyone so they know exactly what you're talking about.

thank you for your detailed feedback!

i understand that TF3D isn't the native windows theme. To be more concise, what i meant was im looking for an app that would imitate a call in such a way that it would fit in well with the interface.

just to clarify, i apologized specifically because i realize i should have provided more information. Any future posts i make on this thread i will be sure to include a link!

I know you wanted it to integrate into the TouchFlo interface better. What I'm saying is that I don't think they can program the app to adapt and change itself to whatever theme or interface is on top of WM. Besides, if you need that app to get out of a certain situation it'll work and I doubt anyone will notice its a fake call simply because of the interface, unless they have a Touch Diamond/Pro too and are looking directly at your device.

My only concern is it provides the same functionality as the equivalent iPhone app.

Heh, is that AvantGo channel really a viable WinMo alternative? Does anyone even use AvantGo anymore?

It looks ok. I haven't used it so I can't say. But, thats the only decent solution I could find. If someone finds something better I'll change it.

If you're talking about the ability to shake your phone and have it randomly pick a place, I don't think there's anything out there for that. But if you just want an app that'll hook you up with a place to eat I'm sure I can find something.

Is there a WM app equal to Flycast? My local talk radio station has been advertising this app for three weeks now. I would like a dedicated app rather than using skyfire to go to their website.

Oh yeah, is there a winmo version of Be Like Lil Wayne? That is the funniest Sh*t I've ever seen on a phone!!! I would love to have that.

What station are you looking for? I'd probably just do a google search for internet radio stations apps and see if they offer your station. Off the top of my head I know Kinoma makes a really good streaming app but I'm not sure what stations they offer. I'm sure there's lots of other people around here that can think of a streaming radio app.
