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.

but anyways... any ideas?

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.
