hey everyone
This has been a long time coming. Thanks to the unshakable versatility of the HTC HD2 (what other phone runs Windows Mobile, Android, MeeGo, Windows 95, and Ubuntu?) we finally have a working port of Windows Phone 7. As you will see, the port works quite well: everything works
hd2 is the coolest phone on earth

Anyway, what he means is thanks.
Excellent, testing it out now !
guys..im a newbie here but i succesfuly upgraded my hd2 with android using one of the builds here,,, my question would be on should i remove my sd card when i try to upgrade to wp7? or should i leave it inside the phone?
quick replies will be very much appreciated since i will be doing the upgrade later... thanks ya'll
BRAVO for the DFT but i'll never use it because win7 UI sucks
Does it work, lol

Indeed It does! Still prefer Android nonetheless, but will surely keep playing around with this for a day or so
I wonder if it will be possible to have an Android-WP7 dualboot option. I still think that WP7 is nowhere near as well developed as Android on the HD2, but I would love to try it when all the bugs and niggles have been sorted out.
Good news!! But where can download the wp7 system?

Sorry but what has this got to do with Android OS?
This should be in the HD2 ROM or General forum.
That is one ugly OS !!! I played with it for 1/2 day trying to force me to like it. No way.
I rather have Win 6.5.
W7 is really ugly, these large buttons on a white or black background, no menus, no choices, just few options.
I don't understand where's the hype
see the first post, anything is in the zip..
wowow!!
really great!!
It's REAL . I'm using it just right now it is very very fast very stable.
actually it is the fastest OS I've ever use.
It is even faster than android NAND more than like 10X.
I really recommend you to give it a shot.
I agree the OS itself needs a lot of improvement to be an interesting. but it has another advantages such as microsoft office.
Its definitely fast and stable, but the drawbacks are huge.
My first issue is that it wont connect to hidden wireless networks so it will eat up my data allowance as soon as I do anything.
Went back to Android.

here is the another video of hd2 run wp7 ，in this one we have a compare wp7 phone
Hope that really works well and smoothly on HD2 device!!!
I can clearly see that non of Microsoft Services is working . Like Zune or LIVE games . Because of the unique product id maybe ? Let's hope n wait for the time to reveal everything
Looking forward for the public release !!
Hmmmmz,
I think we have to be patient and our HD2 will be a very attractive device.

After seeing the video I'm not convinced, still hasn't changed my opinion that WP7 looks pants and isn't that exciting at all. Won't be in a rush to have this on my phone as doesn't have anything on Android that I'm running now.

Hmmm you may be right at this point in time but it's very early days so perhaps it's best to wait and see .
I'm more than happy with WM 6.5.X at the moment after having Android for nearly a year came back to WM mainly due to HD2 but also for the OS . Old or not there's not as much wrong with it as the "expert press" were trying to make me believe but then most of them love IOs which says all I need to know .

Soo yeah, It was on the main page recently that a build of windows phone 7 would soon be released for HD2. I know I'm begging for a good flaming for this but is there anywhere I can find an update on the status of this project? I know its a locked down OS and blah blah blah but I use the HD2 as my business phone and would like it to have a more business appeal to it. Does amnyone have an idea on the status of this project?

WM7 will come , but like chefs told its just a demo. i dont think its will for a daily use. Android is enough .
i just don't get it. can't the device handle the os?
I think it comes down to if the team is willing to crack the OS so everything works. Last I heard, the thing thats holding back release and making the OS usable would be Windows Genuine Phone. It prevents non-genuine versions of windows phone to work properly. Without live tiles and access to apps, the usefulness of windows phones is non-existent.

of course it can, its just the fact that porting a complete OS is a massively complex task that us mere mortals can barely even comprehend.....
the devs need time and for others to be patient....
Well I'm gonna patiently wait. Android is helping bide the time, but I'm ready for some new microsoft goodies.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but this news has been all over this forum (and others) all day!
It was about 12 hours ago I flashed WP7 to my phone! (Back to Android now though )
Seriously, the forums are plastered with it! I really don't know how you missed it (unless you didn't look first).

well... HD2 is running faster than the forum mods maybe... after wp7,nandroid,android blast we should be prepared in advance for meego and iOS blast...
Awesome. Been using WP7 for almost a day now. Runs perfect, only issue I have is that I'm noticing it uses more battery than android. Anyone having issues with high battery drains?
Fourth!
Haven't installed it yet because I have no vista/ windws 7 on my computer.
Best phone ever?
Htc hd2 is the best phone ever? it can run android and wp7.. <3 <3

actually I have seen it last LONGER than android.
Battery life for me has been better than Android as well - 8G Card - No other issues at all with it so far - been using it over 3 days now - even figured out a way of downloading apps / games without requiring to activate with live id etc - Been fantastic!

Hi guys, I have one question
Can be good idea install Win Phone 7 in my Hd2?
thx
I know that a lot pple love w7, but in my opinion is mmmm....
It's your choice mater and wrong forum. Do some reading and make your choice if you want it.
Personally loading WP7 to my HD2 is the best thing i ever did, surprisingly it feels very good to use.
good idea: flashing WP7 on your HD2 with dual-boot Android 2.3 off SD
bad idea: flashing a .51 radio on your tmous hd2
Dual Boot

I've thought of doing the dual boot WP7 & Android, but I only have a 16GB SD card and running WP7 only I've used 10GB already and I'm not installing much waiting for nodo update.
What size do you have? And do you find any problems?
Cheers
Tnx, but no tnx... I will stay out with win phone 7, until someone made it bootable from SD card

I'm back with WM6.5 with Android on SD.
WP7 runs very well on the HD2, just not got the extreme flexibility of WM6.5
Wait for the NODO HD2 update, if it ever arrives that is...

It's up to you. I've installed WP7 on my HD2 and love it. Sure, can't tweak the settings like in WM6.5, but now I have more time to do other things with my life than to constantly tweak my phone.
I'm finally getting my money's worth from my data plan. LOL
To reiterate...to each his own. And for those who don't want to install WP7, what are you doing in the WP7 forum bad mouthing the platform? Go and be happy with what you're running on your phone and leave the people who want to explore WP7 alone.

yeah I freaking LOVE WP7 Microsoft has something here. Excpet one bad thing....its Microsoft so you know how that works.. Needs Wifi tethering and different Mapped buttons like i have said a billion times I seriously doubt they will be able to change the map of the buttons..thats why HD2 never received a WP7 upgrade ...but whatever I'll continue to support it its excellent
