XPeria X10 and Windows Phone

The hardware is promising, is there any opportunity any cooked rom like X2 Rom can work for X10?

I don't really see why you would like WinMo on that phone.
Android is a nice platform as well as Windows Mobile. and it got a better market place.
It is probably possible, but then people needs to get they're hands on drivers and so on first.

I hope it meant to be a joke... Windows Mobile is a piece of ****, I am more than ready to forget it for the rest of my life. Ahh and Windows Mobile 7 seems to be even worse, thanks to the removal of multitasking, the sole reason I used WinMo for years.

well when i first saw this phone i was like I GOTTA HAVE THAT PHONE... then i saw it ran android Q.Q and my dream phone got flushed in the toilet before even getting it!!! so its a very legit question if anyone have any interest in porting winmo to it!!! i love winmo and i have so many programs for it... but ill probably buy it anyway even if it got the little green leprechaun in it... or should i wait for a SE wp7s... haha jk thatll be like 2 years from now if im lucky.....

Why not just go with the HD2?

Windows mobile is terrible and outdated, android owns it in every way, why would you take it over WM? Also if you want WM that badly with awesome hardware just get the HD2, thats like people asking for the supersonic to have WM LOL, sure the Supersonic is better a bit hardware wise, but not by a crazy margin imo.

Sigh... WinMo is still the most productive, customizable and functional OS out there. Also, the best busineess solution.
Andorid is still in diapers. Maybe one day it will be able to do as much as WinMo, but for now, it can't.
I agree that there is no sense in porting a different OS to a phone not made for it, except if it's dual-boot, which is cool.

dual-boot would be awesome! its true what you write about android and winmo!
and to the other post i really dont want the hd2... i dont think it is apealing to me the x10 is the nicest design ive seen in a phone for awhile imo! plus in Sweden at least you get the blue tooth headset with it! which is a big plus!

dell streak and windows mobile

excuse me for my question i'm really a newbye.
is it possible a dual boot for the streak with windows mobile or windows 7 and android ?
or the dell streak with windows mobile only?
I ask this, because it's possible the contrary for example htc hd2 with dual boot or with the rom android.
Thanks.

I don't think so and why will you do that? it's like installing windows 95 on a core i7.
I was a winmo user for a long time and the only thing that will get me back to it is Garmin XT but it is not worth it.
anyhow I beleive you need a hacked bootloader, so you can have a nice fancy menu for dual boot, but I doubt any devs here would like to drop WinMo at the streak. since we just had a release of Vanilla Froyo.

I'm ok with you regarding wm6.5 but Wm7 could be fun on it. It's being able to have the choice that make a piece of technology powerfull

Windows Mobile 7 is hardly anything like Windows 95 when compared to Android. Yes, I'm a former WinMo user happy with my Android device (HTC Desire) but that doesn't mean Windows 7 is in any way comparable to WinMo 6.x. Microsoft completely rewrote the OS, from the ground up, to run on these types of devices. I haven't had a chance to play with it but it looks to be a much more polished system that WM6.x ever was.

Actually the device will be very decent with 2 GB ROM - WinMo+Android+Lots off stuff installed on nand...

I'll be interested in that also. Win 7 interests me especially if they get the communication agrigation right as they claim.
I love Android because its open.......well kinda open.....carriers have spoilt that a bit

yes, so am I, because I feel better with tomtom and there's no android version,
so co-pilot , perhaps igo are compatible with it.

Oh yeah, one thing I tottaly forgot, winmo has a LOT of medical market and propietary jobs... here in my country the police uses winmo to check your id's and stuff. so I guess it's not a bad idea... but I can't imagine a police guy with a streak. Now a little off topic but there is a QIGI with 5 inch screen and WinMo 6.5 If you wanna look at it here it is

I really hope we'll see dual boot Android and WP7 on the Streak

bump!!! Bump!!! BUMP!!! BUMPPPPPP!!!!!!!

I would seriously love to see WM7 boot up on the Streak. There HAS to be a possible way to make this happen.

Wouldn't mind seeing this myself

Would be awesome to have 7 on the streak but for some reason I would prefer 6.5
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App

+1 on the 6.5. Although thats not fair since I haven't used WP7 yet.
hey...remember the old HTC Shift Tablet? that dual booted 6.5 and Vista...I'd imagine the Streak could pull a dual boot of WP7 and Android.

Omg yes, that shift tablet is sick! Found one at a local cell phone store. Would have got it but not willing to shell out the 1000 they were asking for. For me I have used 7 its nice but lots of things were missing that 6.5 had like a file explorer and the wifi hotspot thing.

Android is quite awesome and all, but I dont leave my HD2 home. iGO8 and Office Mobile have yet to be topped. In all honesty though, just give me 2.3 for the Streak.

i dont actually see anything that i would want from windows mobile on my android phone. i think windows phone 7 would be easier to get on the device but theres even less i would want from that. maybe im just a fan of googles services and dont care much for the metro interface.

Yep I was a die-hard winmo user and had no idea what I was missing in the android world. Android is so smooth, no sticky screens, stopped processing and hangups like I was used to in winmo.
No dual boot for me. Android is cool !

WP7 is looking better and better...

Yeah, I know its so locked down and blah blah blah but in all actuality with the amount of support it's getting already it could be an amazing OS. Android didn't get this much love upon initial release. Most people who bought the first run of G1s couldnt tell the difference between a cellphone and a toaster and look where it's at now. WM6.5 is dead... I mean I love it, I love the amount of customization but I would like to have a phone that is relevant again also... In all honesty I wouldnt care if Cotulla released the version that was more or less a glorified feature phone, I would be right on top of it. We all know it will be app-unlocked in time and when thats the case who needs a marketplace? I know HD2 can run android and WP7 but android, regardless of how awesome it is, will always be lacking in the same manner as iphones are in terms of physical appeal. There is none. Just like no other type of phone has a music program that doesnt just more or less suck (If you think iphones music player is just the best then you're likely a tool.) I think that we should be working more on WP7 than gingerbread and its almost non-existent updates.
You can all go ahead and flame me now

Yes, I'd be speaking ill of 6.5 if I was that incompetent republican. I'm not even sure that antique knows what a cellphone is. He probably bought his current one second-hand from Zack on Saved by the Bell.

Android didn't get as much love on the release because it was took up by people that know something. WM7 was taken up with love by people that know no better, unless hacked proper, wm7 will not remain on the hd2 and droid itself is a better system all-round. WM7 is better than WM6.5 yes agreed, but it isn't looking better than droid and probably never will.
Do learn a little bit more before you go ahead and big up an os with gaming capabilities of a comodore 64...wm7 is the touchy feely os for kids and people who know little about smart-phones or are scared by them.

How in the hell could it be better, if it's completly different? It's like if you'd say that green is better than skateboard - makes no sense at all.

The core WP7 might be better than WM6.5.
WP7 was built with only touchscreen phones in mind, whereas WM6.5 can work on touchscreen phones, non-touchscreen phones, PDAs and loads of industrial units. And WP7 isn't designed for many phones, but basically due to the specification laid out by MS, one phone (ie the Windows iPhone).
After all WP7 doesn't have to deal with legacy issues that the more generalised WM6.5 has to.
If MS had just stuck to the core and put on their front, but allowed the manufacturers to put their own front end on (and thus the XDA Developers to really develop the system) then maybe I would be more inclined to move to WP7.
As for the specification, why go down the fixed internal memory? HTC tried it with my HTC Diamond (4GB) only to see an 8GB microSD card come out not long after. Thus the Diamond 2 went back to the microSD card.

It's from the same OS's branch, (your comparison is wrong) you may say a Modern house is better than a shack, However they're made in a completely different way and structure .
Microsoft's OS will remain Microsoft's. wether they called it Windows Mobile 7 or Windows Phone 7

lol. that's well put my friend.

IMHO, the entire HD2 comunity will switch to Android,sooner than later,including myself,my son already did,he havent used WM since over a moth now.
The reason is obvious every each one of us had the chance to compare the two OSs side by side,even someone sceptical as myself keeps on visiting to my Android neighbour living on my SD card.well should confess that its already starting to grow on me.
I wish we had the chance to test the WP7 side by side with the Android as well on our HD2,but seems to me that MS may be is not confident enough that His new OS will hold itself against Android,or may be the mnufacturers want to sell more phones.in either case I want to say this:
Our HD2s will wear out in few months,we will need to get new phones,the overwhelming portion of the users will no doubt switch to Android,it is in the interest of MS to port the WP7 full experience not just to the HD2 but to every single phone out there,to IOS devices,Android devices,people must have the chance to see what it is all about.
Looks like the WP7 devices sales are dissmal so far,if it turns out to be a fail,the Manufacturers will be the first to abandon the ship.

No way man, I think your underestimating the longevity of the HD2, by all accounts it should have died out already, it was saved by droid porting, it wasn't going to have survived with WM6.5, but look it has survived and is still standing up to phones like the EVO and thats something.

I've got both a nexus one and an HD2 running android and for those of us who are big in the gaming aspects of android sure it's awesome but hell, if that was my core interest I'd sell out and buy an iphone. Call me greedy but I want something functional that also looks clean and iphones jumbled mess certainly never pulled that off, same goes for android, I don't care how many widgets you have on there or anything. I keep a plain black screen with minimal dock options in launcher pro and it is still just unattractive. I'm all for functionality over form but until wp7 it's as though no one ever even bothered trying to make a phone look nice. Windows mobile is still the most functional OS to date if you really know what you're doing but honestly, who wants to play on a system whos best games look like they were released for the sega saturn? Android has all the gaming in the world but is not very pretty regardless of what launcher you use. iOS is just trash, no reason needed. but WP7 may be the first phone that in time has a pretty UI and a great app community and that is what I want in a phone.

We need to understand that we represent a small number of cell phone users. Most are happy with what they get from the manufacturer. A small number of us love hacking our phones and making them do things they weren't meant to do. That being said, comparing OS's is useless. Everyone has different needs and wants. I, for example, don't care anything about gaming on a phone. So Android has no appeal to me (and yes I have owned an Android phone). Each OS appeals to folks with different needs. We are all entitled to our opinion as to what OS we like to use. I am one of those folks still impressed with the HD2. When it is tiime for me to upgrade (and I don't see a need for that anytime soon) it won't be Android. I'll be looking seriously at the Win7 phones or will be returning to Blackberry.

agree with Illusive Man.
I'm using WinMo 6.5 over years now, but I also used iOS and Android due to my work.
iOS is perfect for noob Users. Really, everything you need to know is how to register to the AppStore.
But don't want something special from your phone like to store youre files on a special place...
Android is perfect for Gaming and perfect for all "Open Source is better than Microsoft" users don't forget google won't save your data, and the earth is a disc
WinMo 6.5 is perfect for Business Users espacially when the Business Infrastructure itself is based upon Microsoft/Office/Exchange. Also for industrial Use.
WP7
Microsofts answer to iOS/iPhone. It's simple. When I don't have to take care about that someone put/change Files in my System and don't have to care about supporting so many different phones, than it's easier to bring up a smooth and stable OS
So we see, each OS has it's right to live all over this world, they're different and each user should choose for his own preferences....
PEACE

I totally agree man, I tried skateboard and it was not for me - but I got into green in late '08 and there is no turning back!
When my co. took away windows phone and went all BB, I did not like bb's and while they improved it was never remotely close enough. Got HD2 when it came out, showed the co. all the productive things I can do with it, still no go - in fact they said "you can have iPhone or BB, pick one now." I took iPhone since at least that helps our bb-centric IT guys get used to pop3 mail handling. But for some odd reason I can't stand iPhone and just love WP7. Maybe it's the difference between built-in Office 2010 mobile w/sync-to-cloud and sync-to-sharepoint, vs... what, angry birds?

WP7 Sucks and so do you.
Go buy an iphone.

All in all it comes down to what you want to use it for. When I want to play games with a pocket sized device, I whip out my PSP. When I have to edit a spreadsheet or word document while I just happen to be at my kid's Tae Kwon Do practice it's nice to be able to do that on a pocket sized device rather than lug around a lap top and hope you can find Wifi service.

Just about every time Microsoft updates to a new and improved OS, it mucks with the end users ability to change some things.
I guess with Andriod, it will never change in that respect.
I would like to see the capabilities of WM7 but I fear the phones comming out with it are left a bit short even by WM 6.5 standards.
I dont see anything wrong with WM 6.5 as long as I don't bloat it down with alot of shortcuts and what not.
I am not saying the apps and tools here don't cut it... just I would think some body would program each hard key to do funtions like toggle and page flip on shortcuts.
They are there and you dont need to make some new fangled gui or shell.
No I am not a programmer, but it seems so obvious that this is the only touch phone with 5 hard keys. To me that would be pretty damn awsome yet they are so rarely used for anything but short cuts to options that are already available as a sof tbutton or short cut.

Here is my 2 cents.
I was an avid Symbian S60 fan for a good 5 or 6 years, enjoyed playing with it and tweaking here and there, hell, I had it set up as a wifi hotspot long before the mainstream caught wind.
I then went to WinMo 6.1 on my X1, a nice shiny 'new' toy with more bells and whistles than I could ever dream of, I loved it. Unfortunately it seemed O2 and Sony conspired against me, and decided I couldn't have an X1 as a warranty replacement when mine broke. I managed to talk them into giving me a HD2 instead.
There it was, 4.3" of tweakable goodyness. I loved it, and still do, but I've just got bored, or no longer bothered with fiddling. Maybe its my change of career (from IT guy to developer) but I've just lost interest in what my latest gadget can do.
My girlfriend has got hold of a HTC 7 Trophy, and after playing with it for a weekend, I'm pretty impressed. I was one of the first to scream "OMG WTF is that UI all about?", but once in my hand, it is very smooth and intuitive.
Granted, it has it's faults, like no bluetooth contact transfer (you have to put your phonebook in the cloud (LiveMail or Facebook), but overall, its not bad for a locked in system, much to my disbelief.
Its not got features that I need (like the wifi hotspot) and bluetooth file transfers, which are ultimately putting me off for now, but I can see where it's going.
Android I don't think is for me, I've played with 1.6 and 2.2 (froyo) but I just can't get into the loads of homescreens, it just feels cluttered (Yes, I am aware of the one long start menu in WinPho7)

guyz... we should change our thinking style... HD2 has not only the hardware capability of running WM6.5 but also Android builds, iOS, WP7 OS and MeeGO... sooo we must respect this device... till now android is the most usable nd userfriendly OS,now some peoples might like WP7 OS,after this when gingerbread will run fully then we will run it...
after that we will use HONEYCOMB...
i used HD2 in WM6.5 then i loved it...
now running android builds(2builds on 2SD cards) my love is getting deeper and deeper
will love it more and more day by day in future
At the end i wanna say HD2 is a great(1of the best) device we got so far ..
in the near future it will be replaced by multicore 3D screened devices
until then long LIVE HD2 ...

winmo on streak

hi, i insist to know is it possible to have window mobile on Dell streak?
Any one?

I insist to know why would you want to?
Never mind, I don't care...
Pretty sure the answer is no, though...

i like the design and wide screen of dell streak, but due to the aplications that i use for my work, the winmo is still very important to me.. Not to look down the android bcause it will grow fastly, but for now the winmo still fulfill my need a lot..

Let me know when Bob Pro (Windows ME) has been ported over to the Streak...

theres a million things keeping windows mobile off the streak. mostly drivers and a way to boot it and the shear need. if there actually is something in the world that runs on windows mobile that doesnt run on the streak, than why buy it in the first place?

Why would anyone want to?
You wouldn't replace your Sony DVD Bluray cinema system, with an Hitachi VHS cassette player would you

Not to offend anybody, but android is still new.. For me, who deal alot with some middle east asia language like arabic, the android still unsupported.. But personally, i'm also look forward for the development of android, coz for me what ever good technology we achieve nowadays, we can make use it wisely for our better daily life, not to be fanatic.. Just like i said, not to offend anybody, different people might use different application according to their own interest, while some others might even didn't bother it at all.. So, don't judge other people based on your interest and condition, there might be some reason that other people need while you didn't..

I had windows mobile for 5 years, I'm not bashing it, I'm just questioning the need. Its an outdated os at this point and I'm just wondering what windows mobile could do at this point that android can't.

Once upon a time I couldn't stand WinMo...but once I figured out how to use it, I left the Blackberry world for good. When I got an iPhone, there were lots of things I missed from the WinMo world.
Since I have 5 lines on ATT, the HD2 only offers me EDGE speed, and if it weren't for that, I would have probably carried that device for the past year..so I didn't mean to sound like I was bashing WinMo--it has its place in history for sure.
But why would MS be moving forward with Win7 phones if they didn't agree with some of us in that WinMo is a dying OS, much like Blackberry?
For me, personally, I can pick up any Android device and within an hour or two, be doing anything I used to be able to do on the Tilt or Blackjack or my personal fave, the Q9h...PLUS MUCH MORE...
Granted, if you need specialized languages and things of that nature, right now, at this moment, Android may not be right for you, but in time those things will come, too.

[Q] Windows Phone 7?

Is there a Windows Phone 7 rom for the mytouch 4g and, if not, is there likely to ever be one?

Ive never seen a windows rom for an android device. and honestly why would you want that? windows 7 looks kol because its new, but try playing with it for 5 seconds and you get bored. just try the new cm7 or other roms for the mt4g

yea i agree. got my wife a new hd7. dont like it one bit. gotta hack it just to get custom ringtones on it for instance.

Because : Android > WM7
Simple Math Actually.

Prior to my MT4G, I had the HTC HD2.
I came stock with WM6.5, was able to put Android on it and even tried out WP7. The only real reason they were able to port it over to the HD2 is that the hardware between the HD2 and HD7 is almost identical.
As for porting it over to another platform totally, don't hold your breath. They still have not "jail broken" the whole OS yet so there are a LOT of limitations on what hardware it will work on and even what customizations that can be done at this point.
Summary: Don't hold your breath. IF it happens, will be a LONG time out.

Wm7 is awful, no tethering, no apps, no customization, big tiles all over your phone, like msft just **** out the OS, and thought, we'll just catch up with updates later.....love my xbox but microsoft really dropped the ball, returned it and got this phone lol

I've owned two WinMo phones. A TouchPro2 and a Diamond, Both of the sucked the chode big time. I promise you i will never buy, on purpose, another winmo phone.
I know some people who LOVE their HD2, but personally i will never be drawn to it again.

In it's current state, yes, it IS that bad.
Maybe in the future it will be better, but I am NOT holding my breath.

It really isn't too bad its alot better than winmo 6.5 that's for sure. I had the hd7 for a like a month and I loved it for that short amount of time but android just had my heart lol so I went back to a mt4g. Wp7 is going to grow as an os lets not forget its still in its infant stage just give it time and it'll be up there. Just think about android 1.5 and all its flaws and look at where we're at now. Also remember windows mobile and windows phone 7 are completely different os's so bringing up any winmo phones is irrelevant. Just my 2¢ but yeah Android is still where its at lol

Personally, WP7 is a HUGE step back. Out of the box (before the update, which is also bricking some phones) is like iPhone OS v1, but worse.
Look, it took apple 3 years to implement copy/cut/paste and even longer to allow some sort of Multi-Tasking because people were yelling for it. Out of the box, you don't get this with Wp7. Once the update issues are worked out, it will be, almost, on-par with iOS4 in regards to multi-tasking and copy/cut/paste. However, their RIGID stance on access to Zune media is insane. You can't see or use that media with any other app other than the built in Zune app to play them. Then they mess up the SD Card with a very specific partitioning system that you can't access except through the phone (as in, you CANNOT run the phone without the SD Card that was in there on first boot or turn your phone off and put it in a card reader, won't be able to read it). So if you upgrade from one size SD to another, then you have to wipe and reload your phone to get the new SD Card to be seen, and anything you put on the SD Card before this will get wiped out on first boot anyway.
Ok, I can go on and on, but when all I can see is the HUGE list of Fail and the small list of COOL, there is no reason to take this mobile OS as a serious contender to any other currently used Mobile OS.

WP7 is like a stupid hot chick. So nice to look at and run my finger over, but after like a day of fingering, I just want to go back to my smart, deep, above average looking Android booty call.
At least Android fanboys are justified. Apple sucks no matter how many horn-rimmed glasses wearing Starbucks drinkers hype it up.

just load your favorite android rom, go to market and download Launcher 7, done and done.
no need to use a whole wp7 rom.
