I'm wondering what people think the chances of WP7 being ported to the desire is?
Why?
If you want WP7, then buy WP7.

That's not the spirit! Why not?
I'm more than happy with Android but if someone manages to port WP7 to it I'd try it for sure... the same reason I run OpenDesire over HTC's own ROM.
wouldn't that be illegal?
as i know, you have to pay for windows mobile.....
Still wouldn't stop someone from trying it though.

ofcourse it would, all of the sites that have developers with anywhere near the skill to take on a project like that have a no warez rules, as none of us own a licence for windows mobile that makes it warez lol

TomTom.
End of.
Buy a HD2 and you can run both Windows and Android (well, most Android things work). I've used both and can't see myself ever going back to WM unless something sensational happens.

Would it not be easier to port just tomtom? Or even make an emulator for the tomtom device?

Personally I prefer Copilot anyway, so it's not the "end of" for me!
I am very surprised though that TomTom haven't produced a version for Android yet, though it would probably be too expensive to be competitive anyway.

Tomtom was much better some years ago, now there is software as well good. (es. navigon works perfectly for me).

I'm in the same boat mate. Wouldn't know where to start. All I know is someone emulated a PlayStation on android so a tomtom should be a breeze.

Im a big time noob in windows mobile and HTC i have never had a WM phone before, So my question is, can i get WM 6.5 on my touch pro 2 somehow? seen it on diamon and old touch but haven't seen it on touch pro 2 well besides that youtube video.
It will be offered as a free upgrade, no need to hack.
As fortunz said, HTC will provide a wm6.5 upgrade but no date has been established yet. Once we have the official wm6.5, then are chefs will be cooking up some 6.5 roms as well.

That was a tiny one.
ROM=Read Only Memory. This is a pre-programmed chip in the phone that, among other, also contain the OS. Many other programs and utilities can also be programmed into the ROM.

Well, I can see that it looks like that.
Actually I'm trying to make a point. I have had WM devices for a number of years now. WM6 was the last proper advance and that was a while ago and really only made things stable. WM5 was a dog imo
I just find it very telling that so many WM users are trying to get Android to run yet I'd say (prove me wrong) no one who has a device that doesn't run WM is trying to run it.
What does that say ?

It says... other devices are limited to 1 OS, while WinMo has the ability to expand across several. Right now, I'm running WinMo 6.5, Android, and Blackberry software, in 1 phone.
What does that say ?
That says that HTC release some excellent hardware and that there are some dedicated hackers (white hat) out there willing to help out.
Why, what did you think ?

First of all, if you'd actually *searched* before posting, you'd have found that this question get asked on a weekly basis, and the answer is always the same.
That being said, if you are not due an upgrade until the end of the year, why not wait until the end of the year before looking? The Desire will have been superseded by then, and Windows Mobile 7 phones will be out.

Dave

...and yeah just thought i'd ask
I did not know if I should put this in the general section or not. As many of you advance user dislike that section. But anyways... Today I came across this video, That clams that you can now use the iPhone OS on your android phone. I just wanted to know if you guys know anything about this. And do you think it is possible? Another thing? Is there anyone here that is working toward the same goal to have the iPhone OS on the android? Thanks is will really help me out.
P.S>Here is the link to the video:
youtube.com/watch?v=bxnUYtCm-Tw
I think it has been discussed before but I'll interject my opinion. Why in the name of sweet chocolate christ would you want to run the iphone os on here? I had every iphone since gen 1 and got the evo instead of iphone4 and I've never looked back. You know that expression" you don't know what you've got til its gone"? Well this is more like" you don't know what you had until you got something outrageously better"! I know devs like to do things just to prove it can be done. But id really hate to see a talented dev waste their time on this exercise in lew of something more useful like kernel, rom, and app development.
Just my$ 0.02. Change expected.

Just watched the video. I guess its worth a shot i'm not sure what kind of risk it posses to your phone or even what it looks like. I would probably classify this under proceed with caution and only if you really know what you are doing.
I don't get it. If you wanted to run the iPhone OS on an EVO why didn't you buy an iPhone?

I am not saying I want to.. I really want to know if it can be done. Also I am interested in a few things the iPhone OS offers, but why in sand hills would I do something as stupid as buy an iPhone. I would never buy an iPhone. I think the phone is a peace of crap. But if I don't pay for the OS then why would I care to try a few things!
Seems strange, they never actually show the iPhone OS running on an Android device so how can you even tell if this is legit?
If it is, I think it is pretty cool. I am definitely an Android fan, but the more our device can do is always better!

Yeah! Exactly... If I could just prove it. I tried to download the file from the site but the site was down. But I did look more into and found out that this kid from NJ has proved this method works.
So here is a list of stuff our Evo's can already run:
Android 2.2
Windows 98
Windows XP
Windows 7 (Buggy)
Ubuntu (Linux)
iPhone OS (Once proven by me)

Well first wrong forum. Second yeah, it would be cool but if you look at the rom for the hd2 there are a lot of tiles still not working. Also the hd2 is GSM and there are GSM wp7 phone out. Without a wp7 phone on cdma it is hard as getting the radios to work is difficult. At least hat was the impression I had.

It's still not a release though. As soon as some work is (if ever) started on it, this would be the correct section.
You're in the right forum, don't worry
Does anyone else thing that the WP7 look is incredibly ugly, or is it just me? haha
It would be quite wonderful to port WP7 to a phone like the EVO. But I believe it will be a daunting task as the HD2 has it easy(ish) they have windows mobile already installed on the device. If there is a similar device with the same hardware as the EVO running WP7 then it might be easier.
Drivers are the hardest to get working, the software could problably be made to work relatively easy. But without drivers to communicate with the cpu, storage, display, and etc there would not be much to see at all even if the software was able to run.
Plus and from my understanding that WP7 is pretty locked down at the moment and not all features would be accessible. Though that is a thought without any research into the subject.

I agree 100%. It was designed for tweenagers to be able to do all their social networking. Its kin 2.0 and they are even considering adding a new 'kin' studio. Personally, I don't recommend trying to port it over to an android device as Microsoft might not take too kindly to the licensing issue.

HTC HD7 is a pretty much an HD2 with WP7 if I'm not mistaken...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818607
The hd2 is pretty much a evo just GSM.
flame and troll and flame and troll and bash someone for bringing up a great idea now back to flame and troll and flame and troll.
To the OP love the idea hope to see it come to light, ill definitely try it if someone can do it.
devs should not waste time with other OS's. reason being is that too much work is needed just to get everything working, and thats the job of the manufacturer. i rather they spend it adding/improving features to the solid foundation we have already, android.
plus android is free, windows is not and nor htc or you paid for windows on the evo so even if they had a fully working port you'd somehow have to get a license from MS and since they only sell oem license to manufacturer dont know how you could even legally get one. just my 2 cents
This would be REALLY sweet, but i dont see it working out until a CDMA WP7 is released, porting from GSM is 1000x harder to get working real well E.X. - Desire HD/Acer liquid ports.
I was in the microsoft store at my mall, they said a sprint CMDA WP7 is due this year. I'd be willing to bet itll be ported within a week after its released.
