I really doubt that is Windows 7 (unrelated : isn't it weird how the desktop version and the mobile version now have the same name? )
And after reading the comments on the other thread I seriously doubt that wm7 will be released this year:
1) they're still working on wm6.5
2) releasing wm7 so close after wm6.5 would be ummm....counterproductive?
Until we find something on the internet really identifying it as WM7, I'm a skeptic.
microsoft has already said that wm7 wont be out till next year (prob march/april) its only developers that get it in november i think
Yes, actually that does look like WM7. A while ago a large number of concept screen shots came out. The credibility of those screen shot and the story behind it could be debated. But IMO sure evidence came in the form that in a MS live mesh commercial there was a brief shot of an HTC touch running the exact UI that was leaked. This looks like that interface with a few tweaks/improvements. I am trying to find that original story.
*edit* not the story I was talking about but all the shots were like this one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/blinx_182/3265548956/
*edit 2*
The first two pics are from the live mesh commercial. Note, WM7 is not really running on his device. They are screen shots. I was fooled at first. lol.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/blinx_182/
Here it is. The full story. Not the original site I saw it on but looks like the same pictures and text.
http://www.zakeh.com/2008/01/07/windows-mobile-7-details-leak-cool/
That UI was found on a WM device in a MS commercial. Evidence enough to me that at least at some point this is the direction MS was going. And I like it.
I think wm7 will change alot over the next year as they get feedback and see what every one else does.
This might be early code but still about 6 months till developers get it then another 5 months of changing as they get feedback from developer
My guess is no. Hell no.
It looks a bit crap, not to mention VGA (why would MS be developing a 2010 mobile OS in VGA?). I'm very sceptical.

Zune was supposed to be in 6.5. They skimped on us.

HERO CLONE RUNNING WINDOWS MOBILE 6.5, Check this out, i dont know wether its weird or cool
http://www.wmexperts.com/htc-hero-clone-runs-winmo-weird
The specs on that phone are so low that I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
From working in a phone repairshop i seen phones like this everyday most where nokia , pretty good fakes
According to wm experts they say its made by htc
"The new HTC G3: a clone of the HTC Hero but sporting WM6.5?"
I thought it was a clone, now i am confused lol
its fake, i work on photoshop all day if you look at the offical htc hero images they have a fake lens shaddow all the way down that has been cut and pasted

FAKE
think about design before you speak
yes, i know that the hero G3 clone does not
meet the same caliber of specifications as does
it's htc-designed and built predecessor but
a real phone nerd would appreciate what the design
process is to an engineer...
are you gonna down-rate
a design that is meant to be cheap
on purpose; i mean, come on. stop
being so "hugely" corporate.
i tested and used this phone and
it's actually suberbly designed; stable
and power-saving. no drain. it
eat's very little charge.
given that it depends on which of the "tiger"
manufacturer's we are talking about.
open your eyes a little.
The fact it uses cheap crappy software and relies on the HTC Hero's brand name for marketing isn't at all "corporate" ....
And it uses very little battery because the hardware is hugely inferior (see you're previous point...)
I fully appreciate the design process - so what makes it fair for others to steal someone's design work and sell it on?
[playing devil's advocate here]
Best part is the text on the image does not match up to the information text posted below it.
Ok so i have searched a little but i know there are so many UIs out there and i am looking for a new one. Right now i have UltimateLaunch and i have used this forever so i would like something that is similar to this but that may also have more features. Does any one have any thoughts? Thanks
Try PointUI
---
Thanks to both of you for your suggestions
i second spb mobile shell. i've always used spb mobile shell since back in the days. awesome program and great UI with lots of customizablity. it's only now, with the new sense UI that i've stopped using SPB MS but that's likely only until they release a new version, at which time i'm sure i'll go back...
and, once you buy from them, they always give you an awesome discount when upgrading to the next version!
You should have a look at what Maxycy is working on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625652
VERY IMPRESSIVE!
Hmm. I personally like iPhoneToday which gives me the look and feel of the iPhone. Easy access to phone as well as 3-5 screens of apps/shortcuts that are very easy to get to.
Unlike SPB, iPhonetoday is free and has a very small footprint and very easy to configure. I find that its also very quick and stable.
Do a search on this site for it.
Personally, I LOVE this new Infinity UI. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609512 It's fantastic, but it's at a very early stage.
spb is announcing their newest version of mobile shell tomorrow at mwc

multi-platform capable??
I bet it's going to have some code in there specifically to take advantage of the muscle of snapdragon, and considering how advanced each version of mobile shell was for it's time, this does stand to be quite a development!
Even though I'm still a fan of everything HTC has managed to do to whitewash the underlying OS, I'm very interested in seeing what SPB has come up with to make claim again on the "winmo-shell" crown
EDIT: Lobo, are you going to WMC?? If so, please be sure to find out whatever you can about that and report back here pronto!

Yes it was posted, a million times already... sigh. There are already multiple very boring and repeating threads about it that you could have found easily by looking at the first 2 forum pages...
As pointed out above this has been posted before, and even I could make a better fake than that! The fonts wrong and it says Foto's instead of Pictures

Only when it runs the 1 GHz hack, because phone 7 requires that.
But it is nice to know that windows 7 phone scales on a totaly different way on a HD2 WVGA screen. Look, this is how it scales on the concept device:
(this image is real-size: put your HD2 beside it to get an idea)
But yes, I like the HD2 version more
Fake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist...
There's no such thing as "real size" on a computer screen, unless yours and the viewer's one have the same size and resolution
so easy to fake
yep
dont get to overjoyes yet - heres a fake i did five mins ago for a laugh
i did one of it runnin android too..
all good fun but not the real deal..

.
Today, Cannonical has announcement a version Ubuntu for phones. They can found more info here: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
The requesites are very similar to HD2. Will be posible portable to it?
hope so...
Sorry for my bad English. I just reading that link. Some of my friend say that the Ubuntu OS is base on Android Kernel so we totally can port it to our HD2 but the rom running on Galaxy Nexus just a demo rom that mean the need a lot of time to config. Ubuntu OS is currently in the development stage and finishing, according to the source before we have to wait until 2014. I think that time is too long for our HD2.
^
well you never can say, there are a lot of Dev's here that are even miles ahead of those manufacturers/ phone companies, all we have to do is wait & see.
I also noticed just yesterday in one 2nd hand site here in HK all the HD'2 where sold & at least 10 more people where looking for one.

I'm a NAND user on a LEO1024. Since Ubuntu phone will support android kernels and the drivers it will be quite simple to get the required files from tytung's repo and merge it into the OS.
As soon as it's released or leaked there will be a race for "FIRST"

I assure you there will not be and if you want it, you will have probably to do it yourself. It's not android, nobody wants that... yet.
Challenge accepted!

To be the first would be awesome. I'm ready for it
i am waiting for that
please release it fo hd2
A very interesting project! My HD2 is looking forward!
I think it will be fun.
would be good as an excercise, i suppose. as long as the support is there.
why would it be better than android?
in my experience with ubuntu on my laptop, anything i try to do always seems end up typing long lines of code in a terminal window
as someone once said "linux is free if your time is worthless"
been developing with the new SDK & its a freakin beast ! .....i eat ...sleep ...poop ..Ubuntu ...its so much fun
Ubuntu Phone OS is going to rule ....its just so awesome !
So Guys ans Girls,
Let start the Visual Thread about Ubuntu Touch OS
drop your thoughts, your fear and your wishes about the Touch OS visual Experience
To start, here is a pic for the Exploration, the pic come from the Touch OS designer

Visual
Very good visual, cant wait to see it running on my device. :good:
And this Visual Design has a name : Suru ! welcome Suru
but let have a deep look, the phone picture is not the Galaxy Nexus as it used to be.
A hint to the new Hardware ?
Hardware
Maybe the Ubuntu phone to be released in autumn.
looks really great, calendar is a bit weird but whatever
i dont know why but that device looks like a Huawei to me
the os looks great, hopefully it performs well and gets the attention it deserves. though, in this market, that really depends on how many developers embrace the os and get the apps developed so it at least has a chance to succeed. allowing ios and android to get so big really causes problems for any newcomers due to the fact that there are already thousands of apps for both platforms which are now relatively stable, bug-free and full of features, and no one nowadays wants a phone which doesn't have stable, fast apps for everything they want to do.
i think the ubuntu devs definitely got the design right, tho -- the design reminds me of something you'd see in android, but with a lot of the...ideas and practicality that lay behind windows phone, which imo is a better platform than either ios or android for a phone but unfortunately doesn't have the community and therefore the developers/apps to compete.
would definitely be great to see this platform take off so we have another big competitor in the mix!

Don't get your hopes up. The pictures above are nothing more than digital concepts, it's just an artist's impression of what a "new" ubuntu-related generic smartphone would look like.
