Windows Phone 7 Ported to the HD2 Already? Possibly…
So this needs to be taken with a grain of salt considering how close we are to April Fool’s day, BUT regardless it’s either a pretty elaborate fake, or great news for HD2 users everywhere!
A few developers have seemed to have gotten Windows Phone 7 running on the HD2. They say it works pretty well minus these issues:
Bluetooth doesn’t work
Laggy cause of driver issues
No apps really work
NO DOWNGRADING BACK TO WM6.5 YET
No Marketplace, etc.
Here’s a few pics from the guys working on it (yes it is easy to photoshot these so again, have that grain of salt handy?):
Now, here is where if this is a fake, it gets a little elaborate… two videos from the devs too (the truth is this COULD be done by running a GotoMyPC-like app on the phone and running the WP7 Emulator on the computer and displaying it on the phone’s screen, etc. but again, little far for a prank, so who knows).
So what do you guys think? This legit or a good April fools?
If it IS real, you can best believe we’ll be the first to grab an HD2 and flash it on their, let you know how it is, and do a How To for the brave souls that want to try it too.
Thanks Methodz for sending this in!
I just got the HD2 from T-Mobile US, I personally dont think is worth changing it to windows mobile 7, and loosing Sense UI. I Would be exided if they get Android running on it. What do you think Unlockr.
Robert,
Id like to try out Windows Phone 7. Dont get me wrong, I like Sense (slowly getting bored with it as OSes are getting better at their own UIs. It was a great addition to WinMo with its horrible UI, but newer UIs I feel are holding their own now). what I don’t like (now that there are other options) is the underlying WinMo 6.5. Im kinda excited to see the new remake of WinMo as I have always been a fan of it, and very curious to see what it brings.
But hey I’m going to load it ASAP, Ill do a review for everyone so you can decide if its worth the switch 🙂
My two cents lol
I think I still want my N900. lol, j/p
this already on the nexus one but better =)
Android 8282,
Lol thats a GotoMyPC like app, not the same. Although very nice, which apk he using? Remote Desktop from the market?
