Windows Phone 7 on Desire?

Just Got My HTC Desire (UNLOCKED)
and BTW loving every bit of it
was wondering that if in the future it would be possible to run Windows Phone 7 on HTC Desire??
or
[Poll] Whether anyone is interested to run windows phone 7 on Desire?
P.S. Just Learnt someone is working a port of andoid on the iphone (not )

Lol! That will take some effort to make.
It will be really good though, just depends on what future android releases are like.

Windows Phone can not be ported, cause it is closed source.
And why would you want that crap anyway?

I went with Desire cuz I didnt want to have a windows phone nor Symbian but had no money for an Iphone. lol. So thanks but no thanks.

lol the Desire is much better than the iPhone
You should be happy that you didn't have the money

That's like saying can iPhone OS be ported to the Desire.
Never gonna happen with a closed source OS.

you're calling it crap when it's not even out yet? 0.o
It might not be as good as android, but im sure it's not 'crap'

It's just my opinion, but yes, I call it crap.

i agree
I agree I had a windows phone everything was so complicated... windows stick to home pcs

Dualboot IMO

looks just like htc desire but windows phone 7 .
maybe hardware specs r same as well

Android is open source, it can be configured to diffrent device configurations, windows phone isnt, as the most of the driver, sensors and hardware for the desire was written using the android open source project, they arnt compatible with windows phone full stop lol

If WP7 would ever be ported on Desire, I would probably just test it, to see what its all about. and then delete it...

It would be interesting to play with, but I doubt it would be possible
There's a project porting android to the iPhone, and it's proving very difficult even with Android being open source. So closed source, I don't think it would work..

If htc releases a phone with win phone 7 which hardware is equal to desire - might be a possibility.
But I can not imagine one dev wanting to do that

i dont even think that would be possible, the sdk htc used to write the sensor and harware code isnt compatible with windows, on the other hand, android can be configured to run on hardware written to run on windows phone thats the problem lol

So umnmm.....did anyone actually READ the link?
Today's internet leak is brought to you by our friends at Adobe Photoshop and is apparently known as the HTC Mozart.
A leaked internal Telstra document is offering the first indication of when we might actually see a Windows Phone 7 device in stores and all but confirms that HTC will be one of the first manufacturers to launch a phone running Microsoft's overhauled OS.
We suggest you forget about the image, which is clearly just an HTC Desire with a WP7 home screen photoshopped onto the front of it. However, what is really interesting is the AU$49 per month price cap, Telstra's newest and lowest available Next G cap. Everyone who assumed that the first swell of WP7 phones would run at a premium cost (us included) were obviously mistaken.

I would use it. The more I play with Windows Phone 7 the more I am sure it is going to be a serious player in the mobile world. I love the openess of Android, but I've been playing with several WP7 ui apps and I want more!
I would buy a WP7 phone as a secondary, but as of yet, I don't really like any of the hardware currently available with AT&T bands...

Wrong Thread

WP7 has been ported to HTC HD2; maybe it was easier because WP7 is based on Windows CE 6, as winmo was.

New Windows Phone Poll

As Windows Phone 7 was launched today we wanted to put up a poll based on general perception of the device. If you could buy one today, money not being an issue, would you? We want to see whether Windows phone 7 has been received well by the community.
Cheers,
Steve & XDA News Staff

Wow first one to vote, maybe im just abit excited lol.
Omnia 7 is at the top of my list atm. GSMARENA has a good review of the device already (no idea how they got hold of it)

Im gonna hang on to my current device and by a WP7 phone when they start coming out with a second line of phones.

just bought my desire. WinMo 7 doesn't look too customizable, but only time will tell

Former long time windows mobile user, not impressed, Ill stick with my EVO for now.

Going to get a better Android phone I think... probably Samsung Epic 4G now or Evo (more than the WP7) ones now.

Once I see multiple calendar support, we'll talk. As for now: never.

Like a lot of people here, I have a HTC HD2 and am running WM6.5 and Android 2.2 on it. So, for me, I'll consider a WP7 device once my HD2 either dies (let's pray it never happens) or maybe in 6-12months when it's time for an upgrade.

Me too.... HD2 forever

Our beloved HD2s can run any OS so why switch to WP7 when the HD2 already runs it (Not public yet!)
The hardware in most (currently presented) WP7 devices is as good as our HD2's
So.. maybe I will buy one if the hardware is superior to the HD2's!!!

Um, there is multiple calendar support.

Looks great to me, especially the Dell Venue Pro.

Sure, why not. Every HTC phone that I have had was Windows. Why would I give up now? I have played with the HTC EVO running Android, and I do not like it. I prefer Windows. That is my own personal opinion and choice from experience, and somewhat from what I have spoken with other people who have Android phones from different manufactures, which I have personaly tried and played with for a while with each and every one of them.
I just prefer Windows over anything else.

maybe and unsure is about the same.
im hoping it can be ported to the hd2. that'll save me some money

for sure i will buy the WP7 phone HD7 i think... as i am HTC fan as well as WM.

Not at this time. I love the interface. I just don't like the rest of the story. The system just locks you in. Perhaps if could be jailbroken, that would change things.

Well I got the HTC Desire on Android 2.2 and thus far I don't see anything I prefer in the Win 7 phones that would make me switch. If anything it has less functionality at present with no cut & paste, no tethering and no SD card. I do like some of the features though but will wait and see how they develop this, so for now it's a no.

I think Microsoft has missed a trick with the launch of WP7, by basing the OS entirely for phone devices. As with Android it can be used not only on phones but tablets as well and judging by how the community response to the Sammy Tab is high with enthusiasm i think MS should have looked further forward than just Windows 'Phone' 7 and evolved further ahead with appying its new OS to tablets as well, even if not making it available now but atleast showing a mock up to show its potential of being more than just a phone OS.

What?!? no cut & paste and no sd cards? where can I read up on WP7 features?

Also long time and big time WinMo fan, but I got the EVO and after rooting it, nothing can come close. Win7 simply went the way of iPhone, by locking everything down, so even if it weren't for the rooted EVO being so damned awesome and far above every other phone out there, I wouldn't get a Win7 phone out of iPhone-hatin' spite.

Good day, today is your lucky day you are the 1000th XDA user to ask this question your prize is the ability to use the search function on these forums for free, enjoy!

Whilst it would be fun to play on WM on the DHD, there's not really much point. I don't think anyone's going to spend any time doing this.

It is great that really can do WinMo on DHD, DHD with higher RAM n ROM space n it is available all around the would with reasonable good price; if it can do WinMo or WP7 with it, I think is extremely great!

with what source? windows is NOT open source.
you can dual boot 2 android roms i've seen that but i have never seen a windows mobile OS on an android phone.
i have seen android on a window's phone as android is open sourced.
you need the ability to boot from the SD CARD which has been done but only for another android rom. please search this forum before posting as mentioned by the user it has been asked so many times.

the answer is yes, you can run flash winmo on it
but you'll gonna have to find somebody to port winmo onto the device
also you are able to flash android, winmo or win7 onto iphones or any phone that runs chips off the arm architecture only that porting and writing device drivers for your device will require a real expert or an inside job

I don't recommend you to use WinMo at all.

Just to open a healthy discussion only, exploring more possibilities.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

The correct answer is WHY???
I spend days here reading how to clear all bugs on my hd2 android. Everything is matter of personal taste, but I can assure you that WinMo has no advantiges to Android. If you haven't used WinMo you don't know the meaning or the words clumsy, user-unfriendly, and finger not friendly. Poor overpriced software you got it. Thanx to the developers here this OS lives on and some good Alps are released. Thanx to cookie and HTC there is a good shell, but I used to spend so much time to get something working that now I have out of the box. Porting Winmo to android phone is time spend in vain...

I've got to admit that you're quite correct. I never really realised how crap Windows Mobile really is until I tried Android. It needs to die the death it deserves...

I understood how much better and polished Android was seconds after starting a build on my Diamond. And I am talking about quite buggy build. Flashing NAND Android to my HD2 was the first thing to do in the morning after it was released...
I'd rather pay NOT to have WM on my phone, so I dont understand the will to use it at all

If you want Android you are probably gonna buy an Android device in the first place and there are plenty of HTC Android devices.

Essentially because there's little call for it. The upgrade from Winmo to Android/WP7 was drastic and you could have a high end device on any of the 3 OSes by porting it. If you ported android to the HD7 you would have paid as much for a low-end android device as you would for a mid-high end WP7, it's illogical and stupid and thus there's no call for it.

The main reason is because there is no interest in doing this. And the reason for that is because there isn't anything wrong with WP7 as compared to WinMo. The reason the HD2 got all that dev love was to get away from WinMo on a superphone. WP7, though, happens to be the best mobile OS ever invented. So there just won't be as much or any interest in hacking the HD7 just to put an inferior OS on it.

see all
first must say ThanX 4 all
i want know only why the HD2 have all OS Rom
Y there is android rom for HD7
WP7 VERy Good
i can't say any thing
but only want tho know

I can never understand this response. I had a sdand/wp7 hd2 until it broke, and it was replaced with an hd7. I like wp7 better but android offers more functionality and has a lot of apps/games which are unavailable on wp7.
I loved the option of switching OS' at a click and I can't imagine there aren't many others just like me. The truth is that I spent much more time using android than wp7 when I had the choice of either.
I just bought a galaxy note so ill be saying adieu to wp7 for now but I seriously hope I can dual not wp7 on it.

Windows Mobile 7 on Samsung Galaxy SII T-989

Who dares?
I own a Samsung Galaxy SII T-989 and, because I come from the "Windows" side rather than Linux or Apple, I would like to be able to completely wipe out the Gingerbred ROM that came with the phone and install a "cooked" ROM based on Windows Mobile 7 or, at least Windows Mobile 6.5.
I am hoping that, all those great developers connected to this site and spending so much time on cooking roms and rooting android phones, maybe one day they would look into this project that will become, I am sure, the greatest challenge, the pinnacle of all great things ever accomplished and recorded on this amazing forum.

Would be cool to dual boot like the HD2 days. But TBH Sui, we barely have any devs for anroid let alone start a whole new can of worms with WP7. Like the idea though.... +1

Except for, you know, the already released dual-core WP7 phones.

Good Point Kallkti, but soon it will. I was at a mircosoft event and we will see an update in a few months to support it. In theory couldnt we just use one core like ....idk the original froyo/GB code, and keep the second core sleeping. I never wrote kernel code im only asking

lol we dont even have a working CM7 or Miui...yet you want this?! i dont think it'll ever happen

GS2 doesn't meet hardware requirements for 6 hardware buttons and who knows what else, but seems to me if someone wants a WM7 phone, you get one.
Another thought - get an HTC HD2 - ROMs available for WM 6.5, 7 and just about every flavor of android available. A little slow (1 GHz) but satisfies all other requests.

I think it'd be awesome, been thinking about this myself. Probably damn difficult if not impossible to do at this point.
My girlfriend has a Samsung focus and it's pretty sweet. I find myself getting jealous over her phone at times especially with the zune pass lol.

They have not released any dual core wp7 phones.

Windows Phone 7 will never work unless Microsoft makes it open source. The Hd2 was lucky only because the Hd7 has the same exact internals and even that phone doesn't run Windows flawlessly.
Its like trying to put iOS or RIM's software on the GSII. It will never work and if you are lucky to get it to boot it will be extremely buggy!!!!

I just don't understand why you would want that OS on such an amazing piece of hardware. WM7 in my opinion is just too limited in the things you can do, hence the reason why people including myself rid of 6.5 from their HD2's.

wp7 runs extremely smooth and looks very nice. i don't know why this phone has no cool stuff, we have a bunch of competent developers, even cyanogen is working on this phone. i'm hoping that in the next 3 months development will explode for this phone.

like stated before if we can't even get a stable version of cm7 or miui we are deff not getting this here....... lol

If it's looks you want there might be a launcher theme out there you could try

Windows Phone 7.5 is a better OS than Android. Does it have as much developer support? No. But speaking strictly of the OS itself, it's much more efficient, handles battery life much better, is smoother out of the box. It just needs more love from software developers.
That said, what the OP is suggesting is never going to happen. Least of all on the Hercules/T989
