Since tom has posted this, most probably its real. And he is planning to release beta version soon.
What do you think is it real? If so it is a very good news for hd2 users.

Note:- I resized the pic so that its clearly visible.

if you consider that the HD was at first a WM7 test device.
and now HD2 is a MS Test Device. I would not be suprised at all to see this released.
Just because something is not getting an "offical" release does not mean anything.
I am not sure if XDA knows what the words "official release" means.

well pretty sure we knew it wouldn't be official but a test rom is EXACTLY what devs have been looking for since this debacle actually began
I can't wait for the release and that means the touch hd2 actually looks like a winner for me as the first wp7s device
but some questions
can one flash back to wm 6.5 or are we stuck
some more questions but good news time to blog!

I'm thinking this is legit. I was holding off on buying a HD2 but if this gets released, I'll be running to the nearest T-Mobile store.

im thinking about getting an android device instead.

very cool will pick up an hd2 if price is right. But will have to deal with edge as the fuhrur said. Maybe import from telstra.

What the hell? That's supposed to be the interface of WP7s? With those gigantic font sizes? One word per line?
What's the point of having 800x480 pixels if you use 60-point fonts? 5 lines of agenda per screen? Will it be able to display one calendar month in a single screen or will you only be able to look at 4 days at a time?
This is an interface for short-shighted people?
Hell, fortunately the people designing Windows 7 does not think that the people purchasing computers are 5-year old children, or 85 year-old. That is scared by more than 5 lines of text on a screen or having to think where to put their files.
I'm not going to purchase a new phone that is a tamagotchi for 5 year old children. Use have been using computers at home for 20 years, we're in 2010, not 1984...

Did you read the thread? He was responding to the post directly above his.

Now there are also Youtube videos in the HTCpedia thread

well hopefully this is real. does anybody remember windows mobile on iphone?

Might be sensible to hold off from overly wild celebration just yet - I believe that if we do choose to flash it, there is no way back due to some fundamental changes in the bootloader.
Personally I'd be interested to have a look at it if I knew I could get back to something tried and tested again. Still, I'm sure the good people working on it will figure out a solution if we give them time and space.
I just hope it doesn't turn into an 'xda special' - a bunch of impatient ingrates hassling the developers to release it and then accusing them of being con artists if they don't do it in a timescale that suits...

Yeah, given that the source article cites...well, nobody, I have a hard time swallowing it.
However, that concept is interesting--notice the 3 "lenses" at the top. Could this be a hint (or at least, speculation) of a Kinect-integrated WP8 powered device coming later this year?
I hope so--MS really needs to kick it into high gear if they want to make a useful dent in Apple and Android's market share

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I actually wouldn't mind something similar to what that concept is.
The eternally continuous long list of apps is annoying to go through. I think maybe that's why iOS and Android have the different pages. There was probably some sort of research that indicated that people get fatigued by endless lists.
And bravo to the kinect idea. That would be great, and would definitely give WP a wow factor above the other platforms (finally).

Ya, the 3 corners + a round one looks conceptualike. (Notta word)
The three holes in the screen are camera, ambient light sensor, and maybe a flash or multi color led ?
FFacing flash would rock, as would a multicolor led.

I don't really like the picture, but I hope it will be announced in June. They might announce it then and release 5-6 months later, with Windows 8

When you squint, the phone will enlarge fonts and zoom on pages. The suggest the nearest optician.

Double tap, tilt to zoom, features already available because Kinnect on Xbox and Windows isn't that good, so I highly doubt it will be any good on a mobile device.

Perhaps Tell-Me combined with Kinect (think lip reading/facial recognition) could provide (finally) fully accurate voice control in a mobile device.

I really hope that Windows Phone 8 is supported for previous phones, it would be a shame for me to be forced to get the latest hardware.

Don't wanna say much but watch this guy!

Well, I can't take a quy serious who calls it Windows Mobile 8 and this vid is also quite heavily biased. And you will also quickly notice his main interest: good hardware specs.

I couldn't even get past the the first 40 seconds.

Lolz, 40 secs wasted on my life~ XD

That dumbass deleted my comments...

Thanks for the lulz xD

What a moron, he obviously has no idea what he's talking about.
Android fanboy.

This guy is a complete idiot! Waste of my time especially with the Windows Mobile reference and the Gmail app piece. And he says Windows Mobile never compared to Android. It's because Android wasn't around when it came out. And they minimized Windows onto a phone in like 2000...Windows Mobile:laugh:

I managed to get a good 3min out of that before his voice and general lack of any intelligence what so ever got the better of me, forcing me to try stab my screen with a pitch folk when ever he opened his month.
I am amazed that such inbreeding still goes on in western countries, which surely must be the only reason for such a mentally challenged presenter.
Ill happily list anyone valid pros and cons of any device and remain completely objective whilst doing it AND putting aside that WP suites my needs best, why cant people who put them selves in that position at least attempt to be impartial?!
unless of course that was his sole aim!
To get all clear thinking people flapping about him being a complete nob.
In which case my friend, you have exceled yourself

first he cry about wp7 phones that can't be updated to wp8 (that is actually a bummer) and hoe stupid MS is
and about 5 min later he cry's about 10 min long how bad verison is that he can't get ics on his phones
F*****ing nope if you ask me , they actually sould ban him from the internet and take away all phones he has , give him a brick to use for calling

Getting him an Aligator would be enough

This guy is clearly tripping on something. I found this video hilarious.

I watched about 40 seconds, wrote a vile reply that most likely will be erased and left. It hurt to watch that bull****.

He needs a Kleenex.

With everyone trying to sit through it, I decided to as well. Horrible presenter - not much in the way of facts or information, he just 'feels bad' about Win8. All I could think throughout the time I could stand was CAGE MATCH!!!

A nexus oath?

I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?

And given that a person can get banned from this forum for simply pointing out the bias towards Samsung, I can never take anything from the so called mods seriously. Are there smart and rational people on here? Absolutely. But that doesnt mean that I or anyone should really be bothered with what they say.

Google now.

Google now is pretty straight foward and its actually my first time using it and I'm already liking it. What can I expect as time goes on from it?

You can expect it to start learning from you. For example, after a while it can give you traffic data to home right before you leave work/school on a consistent schedule

Yep and if you check in at your fav burger joint or strip club :cyclops:, GN can tell you the traffic, if any to get to that destination. Also you can also get your fav sports team scores, local stuff happening in your area, even notifying you when a package was sent. I love the integration of google keep as well. Awesomsauce all around IMO.

You can expect to get traffic and weather notifications for every single place you Google, sometimes weeks later. But nothing for important meetings on your calendar unto 45 too late.

I have keep as well. How does it integrate itself with keep?

I think Google Now is the only thing keeping me on Android. It's just become TOO useful when I was doing things like checking Maps on my desktop and finding that a card would be added to my Now list, giving directions and ETA if I were to leave right away.
I'm definitely enjoying the way it's implemented, and it's become a tool I can't imagine using a smartphone without anymore.

I have a card for the Yankees, but it hasn't appeared yet. There is a game on right now and I can search it but it doesn't show the card yet. When should I expect it to pop up

Tasker, sl4a... depends how geeky you want to be. With sl4a people have controlled robots and stuff. Tasker has a little learning curve and it's limited only by imagination. There are several other automaton apps out there but Tasker is regarded as the most robust. You can even create standalone apps from within Tasker to sell on the play store if you were so motivated.

GN sucks.
