Ok, I was browsing the web this afternoon, watching some YouTube videos trying to find this song I heard, and then I decided to check on my subscriptions to see what was new around, I found this video that ABSOLUTELY proves how any Android phone should 'lower its head' when facing the marvelous iPhone 3G, I mean, I own a G1, and pretty OK with it now, but I'm so sad I can't do all this 'cool' stuffs I could if I had an iPhone, check the clip out, then come back and finish reading...

...they themed an iPhone to look like what? a ANDROID BASED User Interface??? Yes, you did not have an hallucination, lol
iPhone is so awesome, and so customizable you can actually make it look like a lame, laughable copy of and android based UI, the htc's Sense, lol
And don't get me wrong, when it first came out I fell completely in-love with the amazing Apple's Phone... But that's only because I didn't know any better!
The other day I was looking at some cool apps for my G1 and I found this app of a name I can't remember for sure, something like 'Sweeter Home', (if it's not obvious enough, it is a Home screen replacement), the thing is, in the app's site, they encouraged random users to upload a screenshot of the home screen they had put together for their phone, whether they were using the sweeter home app, or regular home screen, or any other home screen replacement, so we all can see how creative they got, and for the developers of Sweeter Home to make themselves an idea of what users demand; the funny thing, is that in contrast to this Android screenshots panel they put screenshots from iPhone users to show how all this people customized their device, and let me tell you, maybe I'm just mean, but I found it so f**ing hilarious!The big diff you could be able to tell was the picture they uploaded of themselves for "user avatar" lol
If I find it again, I'll post the link here, so you all can see it too, but meanwhile I'm gonna ask you, my dear androidian readers and android fans, to post here any other funny, interesting, or just lame display of jokes related to "iPhone Vs. Android dogfight" lol
I'll keep on updating the thread to make the best posts join in with the 'Themed Video'..
UPDATE N°1:
I just found it, it was the sweeterhome site, as I thought, the link here:
http://sweeterskins.net/
And if you want to jump right ahead to the First&20 iPhone HomeScreens, here:
http://firstand20.com/
Update N°2:
In case it seems like I'm trying to make my mind for either the iPhone or an Android powered handset, I'm not, I already have a G1 and I'm more than happy whit it! Thanks to bmcclure937 for pointing out the fact I might be leaving room for confusions.
Soon I'll be adding some screen grabs from my own phone and homescreen so you all can see how it looks exactly to 'any' other Android device, I'm also doing it because my friend ggrant3876 told me about a theme he thought I might like, a theme I had already flashed, so, you're all welcome to check them out:
The phone is a Black G1, running CyanogenMod v4.2.1 + Sir*Mez's M Blend v4.2.1 theme
I'm using BetterAndroid's OpenHome v2.8 as home replacement and Betterkeyboard + Avatar_Red theme; plus HandcentSMS as messaging user interface.
All of that Black-Red inspired, the way I like it.
Update N°3:
In case you find unclear this thread, or perhaps you think I might have not make an 'obvious enough' distinction when stating an opinion, that would be because I hardly stated one, it remains hidden within the previous lines, I was not trying to speak my mind more than I was trying to point out how lame it seemed to 'Theme' and iPhone as a -Sense UI carrying- htc device, but mostly, let you, people, make an opinion for yourselves without me 'telling you how to think'.
So my androidian fellas, as I said, if you find the thread un-clear or confusing, then go back and read it again, but this time, notice the sneaky inverted commas and simple commas I tend to use to highlight a word or sentence ('Cool'; "iPhone Vs. Android dogfight"), they're not 'quotation marks' as much as 'sarcasm alerts', you can also read my reply to my friend rudebwoy (who btw brought a really good advise for new-buyers reading this), it could help you make a better picture of my meanings; I use to say some things meaning some other (sarcasm).
And in the least case, if it's still 'not obvious' enough, I do prefer the Android OS, and 'I know', more than 'I think', it is, in fact, much better.
One last think before I go:
The tittle? total sarcasm; Play it backwards if you can, like those satanic disco record your parent's friends use to listen to back then (because they, your parents, 'never did it' lol).
Update N°4:
Though all comments have been great, as they all are feedback, which I appreciate, I really do; but I haven't been getting the kind of feedback I expected out of this thread, until now, and I will quote, that my friend punyweakling remembered exactly what this thread is supposed to be about!
Thanks a lot punyweakling; and for the rest of you reading:
C'mon people! Share any kind of lame "Android vs. iPhone 'dogfight'" displays there are for us to enjoy! Keep the fun alive!
Update N°5:
OK, Hello my friends, I felt I was time to post another Update, the MOST IMPORTANT update so far!
Like any of this was actually important, lol but hell it's entertaining hahaha..
Well you know how I've based this thread on the so-called "iPhone Vs. Android 'dogfight'", well my friends, seems like one of the 'dogs' got seriously injured and started to bitch-slap in eve of his imminent death, lol. For those of you that haven't already see the video before (one of our guys, Vinter, posted in his thread: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f...39-post264161/) you can check it out now:

Thanks to my friend simms22 who tweeted this hilarious display of harmed ego from a fanboy!
PS: I'm "TheSpiderFreak" in case you read the comments board.. If 'uDon't' I invite you to do it and give some minus votes to those iPhone iDiots lol..
That said, it's my time to say:
C U L8er..

All of those themes take almost hours of work by the user to make it look like they do. I have an iphone and it is the biggest pain in the ass to make the user interface look different then stock.
The new verizon android phones are going to at least beat out the iphone 3gs hardware wise, and software will follow suit.

haha wow. WOW. i can't think of much more to say about this thread.
Man, then, which one would you pick over the other? Android OS or iPhone OS?
I haven't actually have an iPhone, I have played with one or two because a couple of friends have one, one of them an iPhone 2G, the other two have 3Gs, and they all look the same, they can change icons to suit their priorities or preferences but I'd hardly say they can get them to suit their taste and personality!
I can show you some screen grabs of my G1, I'm a fan of the color combination made by black and red, and that's how I make my phone to look like... To me, it looks awesome.. taking apart the arrange of the icons and widgets and apps, the way I can make it look is so much better!![]()

Haha let me tell you you managed to say MUCH more than I did, I was laughing the hole time without knowing a reason for sure, but Ok, I don't mean to take credit from does users who spent hours probably arranging their screens an all, but if you ignore the 'different' arrangement of icons, they ALL look the SAME... lol, again, I don't want to be mean!

All I can say is the stock iPhone os is pretty dull. The themes look great but anything with a different layout take forever to get set up. I have the g1 and had the mytouch and I just like the iPhone hardware better. But I would def rather have android.

You do realize that you are asking a bunch of Android users whether you should buy an iPhone or not... right?!
The answers will obviously be biased, and for a good reason (in my opinion)
It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me
