and if it is possible >>>>can i return back to windows if i want ??
another quation
whats best hd2 or hd mini
thank you alot
If your real target is Android OS, might as well go for Aria, instead of HD mini. Aria is the exact twin of HD mini, in Android version.
As for HD2, go get EVO 4G instead. They're both the same bananas. Except for the different OS, and some minor modifications.

I'm considering buying a new HTC phone after Xmas as my Sony Ericsson W850i is getting a bit old. I've seen the Touch HD with WM6.5 roms but I've also seen the Hero. Which one should I go for? [PS. I'm from the UK]
Come on, i will take the LEO and sell my HD to you.
As above post, why not go for latest phone 'Leo' a.k.a. the HD2 instead of both the HD and the Hero??
If you would still rather go for either the HD or Hero, then its simply down to whether you want Android or Windows

I have an HD, one of my friends has a hero.
Both are awesome, it is a win win question.
do you want android or windows is the question.

I should add, most 6.5 roms stink so far.
Dutty's 6.1 has most of the feature stolen from 6.5, but with none of the crap

Basically, I am on a bit of a budget as I am actually planning to get one pre-owned from 'Cex'. If I had the money, I would go for the Leo without another word but I can't. I'm new to the smartphone market and I've never tried Android or Windows Mobile. I just like the Sense UI on both [using a ROM if I got the HD]. Which OS should I go for?

Hi, clearly i can say only:
Touch Hd - more advanced, more ability/opportunities, wm is more custom-able than android, touch hd have in development fully* working android
Hero - fastest interface, easy in use, lower resolution, no videocall's, hero housing/case is beautyfull, best quality I have seen.
Touch HD2 looks great but in my opinion too expensive atm - just wait for next gen. 1.5Ghz Snapdragon platforms
HD -> pocket-friendly, WM=heavy weight+Qualcomm/HTC hardware acceleration driver support for HD (therefore laggy), fully configurable&tweakable.
Hero -> pocket-friendly, Android=very lightweight (only sometimes laggy), consistent interface and apps, outstanding Google apps (e.g. free Street View Navigation) if you don't mind about your privacy, but may become boring if you like customizing your phone.
HD2 -> not pocket-friendly, the best and fastest (WM) phone out there.
Both HD and Hero phones are to be considered end-of-HTC-"support".
If you can afford to wait 9 more months, go for sth cheap meanwhile and take a look at the next HTC (Win7 OS and/or Tegra platforms) and iPhone generations, then consider again. If you can't wait, I'd currently go for the HD2, even though I'm very happy with my HD (but I wouldn't buy it again, it's a dying product).
Hi guys,
I am completely new to the whole Android stuff so forgive me if my question sounds stupid.
Anyways,
I am interested in getting a HTC HD Mini but I hate the fact that it has Windows Mobile OS on it. Is it possible to run Android on this phone right now/or will it be possible in the future??? And if so,is it going to be running like the normal android with all the features,etc???
Thanks so much in advance,
Dogan
Hi. Considering the fact that HD mini is quite equal in price to the Legend, why not get that one?
can android run in htc hd mini if yes where i can download it?
no
No ,because a few people want to develop the andriod for mini,it's a hard work.Just use the WM6.5...So nice.
Is the OS Good? What can you do on it e.g. hack? Is there jailbreaking? Any Custom ROMS?
Thanks.
Was on Andorid what does it compare like if any one has tried best of both worlds/
dont buy a windows 7 phone buy the htc hd2 same proccesor much more customisible i have the htc trophy and it is the worst phone i bought.i had the htc tytn ii and it was much better apart from the camara and proccesor.

Hi, mate.
If you want customizable, buy an android. But if you want some phone that you could not change anything to, buy a trophy. except the main screen, where you can change the big icons in any order you want, the rest stays where it is. nothing can be changed ...... but there's one thing great about this win 7: everything is where it should be and it's very easy to use. Yes, to turn on or off wifi i have to press 5 times, for instance. But if you play with it for 1 or 2 days you'll see that it's a very easy device to play with .... everything is one click away .
I have a desire (wife using it for the moment) and i'm not sure i'll get back on desire after had this trophy for a week.
Good luck.
G.
I have both devices. HTC Trophy's performance it better than a WP7 rom flashed on an HD2. I like both devices but the Trophy is my #1!
My wife uses the HD2 now...also with a WP7 rom flashed on it (She likes the simplicity and metro-ui with live-tiles)
If you get a trophy make sure it's developer unlocked before upgrading to NODO via Zune. That way it is still unlocked with NODO installed and you can sideload apps.
can we upgrade this phone omnia 2 i8000 to windows phone 7.1 or 7.5 or any 7. version ?
Sorry, but there is no way to do that. WP7 is based a bit different than WM6.x. So, if you like WP7 then by a phone with that OS or you can get HD2 and have WM6.x, WP7 and Android on the same phone, like me

I love this. If I have understood correctly, you are saying that you can run WM6.x. WP7 and Android on the same phone? Which one? HD2?? or also QTEK 9100
SE Xperia X1
SE Xperia X2
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Touch Pro 2
HTC 7 Pro
HTC HD2
I have an Qtek 9100 and would love to play on it
tx foe letting us know!!
You can run several OSs on HD2, not the QTek.
HD2 is the best phone I ever had, so if you like to experiment with ROMs and OSs than buy HD2 and you will be pleased with it. Unless, you need keyboard....
What´s the difference bwn the omnia2 and the hd2 that enables the latter to run w7 but not the former?
And do you have a multiboot installed or you have to re-flash the mobile to run a different OS?
I´d like to buy the same phone as I´m used to the old winme and i´m not very happy with android either. Just to have more options.
