How do you know if he does not have an I-Phone. And by the way there are MANY other phones which can do the same thing as I-Phone just cheaper.

Text Messaging Interface - On a windows mobile device (version 5 or above) it is easy to replace the text interface, as long as you use the same text messaging receive & send api as the original.

Over All Skin - Of course you wont make it look entirely like the I-Phone, but you can get interface addons to change things around.

Email - Email, you can add many different add-ons and change ups to make it do MORE than the i-phone can.

Web Browser - Sure it might not have a full "blown" browser, but you can get pretty close, for instance, you can get a different borswer than IE mobile *like thunder or opera. And you can install Flash Player 7 Mobile, PDF Reader Mobile, Object shrinker, Java Code Mobile (have to tweak around with it to work). And a virtual Java Machine (Mobile version). Also with some other web tweak programs, you can save web pages for offline view and you can run special objects that are only allowed to work on computer (and if you have a remote connection to it, you get better browser).

You-Tube and Video:
Yes there are many programs which can tun you tube on a windows mobile device. It will require a little tweaking, but you can do it. There is a program called TCPMP, and a program called Are Es S Fetcher. You just have to use you-tubes API in conjunction with those programs and you are done. Also you can subscribe to entire you tube channels.
