I decided to do both. I really like the concept of responsive design, but I hate when I have to download something I won't use (graphics, HTML elements etc.).
Mobile version should be lightweight and may be little uglier by not having all the fancy bells and whistles, which on mobile devices just consumes bandwidth and processor time anyway.
Mobile users also usually want just to hop in, do anything quickly and hop out, especially when the mobile version isn't the main way of using your site/app. Therefore the original use cases might be little crooked and it's ok. Developer should not throw logs under user's legs, but stick with him instead.
Users mostly expect similar, but slightly different behavior between desktop, web and mobile app. Each of them is used in different situations, where user would appreciate different things. It's even determined by time of the day, but it would get too far :)
It's also a bad habit to emulate his device's interface a you can never satisfy all of them. And believe me, iPhone UI on Android phone looks extremely stupid.
