Found this in the real WP7 forums. To me this makes copy and paste secondary.
Looks like the there are good things to come with the mango update. Just have to wait for the release now and then hope that the devs get it running on our HD2s
Yeah, the multitasking looks great.... similar to how webOS did it. I saw about this a couple days ago. Can't wait til it's working on our HD2s.

I haven't heard anything about this... where did you hear that. I don't think MS will waste their time worrying about the small percentage of HD2 users using wp7.

no itisn't , it s blocking ''chevron.exe'' but we can edit the rom to look like hd7 before inistalling it on our hd2 so we won't chevron.exe anymore
IE9 uses hardware acceleration for it to run smooth HTML5. Do our HD2's even have that hardware?
aye, we do have quite a good 3D chip built in, Wm6 would have been amazing if it could have been used! drivers being the issue.
But anyway assuming it will even install it will be just fine as it uses the same GPU as the HD7

In terms of hardware the HD2 is equal or superior (more RAM than the Optimus 7 and Omnia 7) to any current WP7 native device. Only drawback is the lack of 4 point multitouch. Everything else is 1:1.

indeed thats the question we are all waiting for the answer to..
lets hope it helps..
An interesting concept, there are those that are asking if Windows Phone7 is going to work with the HTC HD2 as well. Be nice if we could choose either. The HD2 is a lovely piece of kit.
when is the evo actually out? nobody got a whiff of a leaked rom?
got an hd2 myself, would love to get android

Joke you did get, much funny it was.
Complete my goal is
May the force be with you
I'm not so sure about this....
With the Evo not coming to UK waters and no other screen size planned this side of the pond the ROM on the HD2 may well be the only answer.
However, lets not forget.. the Evo has a lot inside which will be different to the HD2 and these short comings won't make the HD2 an Evo in disguise.
It may end up being a sheep in wolf's clothing.
I don't think you'll see it because of driver issues but if enough people want it anything is possible.

Tell that to Winterboard and AndroidLock. But yes, theming isn't supported natively.
However the iPhone port of Android is an actual native port, loaded using OpeniBoot, a custom "iBoot"-style bootloader. And you thought the HTCSPL system was tricky...

Belated, but May the Fourth be with you.
I find it quite unlikely. Developers are still trying to get Android EMULATED, not installed, on the Touch Pro, and that version still suffers from poor battery life and frequent errors.
You can't just drag and drop ROMS from completely different operating systems onto different phones; otherwise, all phones would be sold without an OS installed.
The two phones may be similar in regards to features, but the insides are completely different. For example, the Evo has a maXTouch sensor, while the HD2 does not. So, while you may be able to get Android emulated on the HD2, it doesn't look like it's going to be very possible to transform it into an Evo by giving it the latter's ROM.

Since i've got android on my Sprint Vogue, i'd say it's possible if the right people want it to happen.
Great news for me at least as it seems that WP7 on the HD2 is alive and well. Here is a video showing it booting up fairly similar to how we boot up android. It has not been released yet but from the new on this website it is not far off. I assure you it is all very legit and will be here soon. I used google chrome to visit these sites as it auto translates so let the actual countdown begin. this is exciting for me at least as I think HD2 was and still is the best mobile HTC ever made. this thing runs Android, WM6.5 and WP7!

Yead and they it will be available by end of the next week... in our dreams of course...
SO when ?!
So when finally we can use one of these WP7 ?!?
it is taking much more than I expected !
yeah it seems to be working, but seems also quite slow/sluggish compared to, say, the hd7. maybe it's due to the boot from sd
howcome in the video the IE tile has nice graphics while on all other phones i've seen its flat like all other tiles...?
well i am just happy it still alive and well. it does seem a bit sluggish but it is out there and will be available soon. it boots off microsd like android so there will be flaws. like android however it will work well. seeing that the htc hd7 had a microsd as its internal memory( pictures on the web to confirm) we should be very optimistic to have this running near perfect on HD2

old build
this looks like an old build that's running on the HD2. that's why the IE icon looks different and also that's why it's slower. the newer builds have performance improvements. let's hope they get the final build running on it too.
also, did you notice the other phone in the video (Mozart) had AT&T branding on the hardware, but Telus branding on the software

Sure they'll get it sorted to go to the masses (us) now if they could only find a way of getting it to run from phone and not MicroSD we really would be laughing .

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.
Its my next os and i want it now!!!!!!

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 .

Yep, Meego does look promising. Definitely looks like it would be good to have a play about with.
Going OT slightly, I'm actually really disappointed that Nokia went with Windows and not Android. I would have loved to see some Nokia Android phones! I was always a big fan of their handsets back in the day... oh how I miss my N95 8GB

i think after symbian died nokia saw an opportunity to strike a big partnership with a massive company, they want the kind of relationship HTC used to have with Microsoft. after all it was windows mobile that made HTC the company it is but it was also HTC that made Windows Mobile the success it is now, HTC have clearly taken google's side in the "OS Wars" so nokia are sneaking in to take HTC's place in Microsofts bed lol

He's decided that the HD2's hardware is simply too old and outdated to continue developing on. As for the second question, I honestly don't have any idea since I'm no dev.
