the only true way is to go out and get an iphone a lot of good people here get very close to the look a likes it seems you may be better off just getting an iphone to save yourself a headache
No, you can't have an OS from a different machine on your device. Better off buying one!
I suppose buying it would be better but, Why put iphone OS on windows mobile... WM5 can copy the makeover of the iphone, but iphone cant....
Guys,
I appreciate, "you are doing wonderful job here".
I am planning to buy HTC HD2. But I am confused why i should buy it rather than an iphone. What are the benefits? As even we are not sure whether HTC would provide upgrade to Windows mobile 7 for this device.
I have been using HTC tytnII for last 2 years so I am familiar with windows OS. only issue is these OS are not upgradable. Like apple keep on issue OS upgrade for iphone users.
Isn't it bit problematic to have such a big screen without stylus?
From where can i get cheapest HD2 in UK?
Please guide me in right direction.
Thanks,
If there is nothing you would miss on iPhone, then I would not hesitate.
I would miss many things though.
Get the HD2 & have the support of XDA at the same time! If you read the threads in this Leo section, then it's a no brainer! Good luck.

It's less problematic than a smaller screen without a stylus (such as the iPhone).
Replacing HD with HD2?
I would like to hear from the experience of Previous HD(1) owners who had migrated to HD2. Is it really worth it? is it a major or a minor step ahead?
I'm asking that because currently I have no issue with my HD (WM 6.1), it is a very responsive PDA which serves most of my needs (phone, mail, messaging, web, video, slingplayer,fring, etc.)
Thanks

I have both and have been trying to decide the same thing for the last few days. My test was to use the HD2 for 24h, and then go back to the HD1.
I listed my HD1 on eBay this morning... #1 deciding factor? Capacitive. Closely followed by speed.

I totally agree. The screen itself is worth upgrading from the HD to the HD2! The speed is a welcome improvement, and the whole UI just seems a lot more rounded than previous versions.
I know a fair few people moan about HTC, and a lot of those moans are valid, but in my opinion they've really improved on the HD, as if that was almost a test for the HD2 which is the real thing.
Not knocking the HD - don't get me wrong. I loved that phone, but it's going in the post today, after selling it on eBay the other day.
I can't see myself wanting to upgrade this phone for a looooooooooooong time!

Reports vary from Q1 2010 to Q4 2010. The only consistency so far is 2010, so I wouldn't hold your breath for it.
Hehe, we are in the same shoes Next Monday I'm going to get a HD2, distributed in Vietnam. Although there are some problems being complained everywhere, but it's no doubt one of the hottest device this quarter. Let try and experience!
i've got a hd1, and thinking of upgrading to hd2
but my hd1 on uk orange is rubbish, and is a total pain.
i've discovered that orange has tweeked the rom so much it's not good.
so my question is, does UK Vodafone alter the rom, and is it supported by HTC unlike the orange hd?

I kind of have a similar question. I'm kind of on the brink of switching to the HD2 from my magic 32b. Basically the hardware specs make the HD2 a beast. I like android and have rooted my phone and am pretty much getting all I can out of it. I'm wondering if it's worth the switch to WinMo? I could really careless either way on the OS. I'm not really a fanboy of one or the other. If I do buy an HD2 I will load a custom ROM. What are the advantages of this? (I know there are many for Android Devices.) I just want to make an informed decision.
Thanks for all your help guys.

I made the switch from the E90 also (with a brief X1 stint in between) so if you have any comparison niggles, pm me.
I'm not sure this is the correct place for this, but it seems the most logical to me.

wp7 doesn't have a filemanager, not really multitasking or like such things.. So tweakers wouldn't like wp7 very much. it's too iphone. for the tweakers (and some other guys ) they will sell wm6.5 alongside wp7
What a horrible move. Microsoft should try to get all WM6.5 users to upgrade to WP7 (discount for tradein or something?), then leave 6.5 dead.
WP7 is not an iPhone. It's the next generation of smartphones. I don't think you need a file manager if every hub / app is able to organise its files automatically. Unless you like running cracks and keygens...
WP7 has smart multitasking so the OS doesn't lag (well, you want full multitask and get the 6.5 lag amirite?). It freezes apps when they are in the background. So your game pauses and doesn't need to take up CPU for no reason. Browsers will probably be enabled to load in the background, music played in the background, etc.
The N97 got flamed because of the pathetic Symbian OS. I don't see why people think 6.5 is still competent.

I'm ridiculous why? I said they should try. I was drawing parallels between the flamed N97 and 6.5; 6.5 isn't even flamed that much because everyone's given up on it.
I'm looking at peers running Android and iPhone OS and 6.5 is simply not competent. A screen tap is a screen tap. It should immediately register.
Don't flame just because you love your Microsoft. I support them too, but I support the change to WP7.
I have a 2-3 year old device that doesn't last 1 day. So there's your "WM6" argument dead.
Welcome to 2010. We charge everyday when we get home.
EDIT: You're running 6.1, so wow. I'm not going to argue then, since you don't seem to have much design taste.
What bothers me about WM7 is that MS seems to be taking the OS to Iphone OS version 1. While Apple is coming with a new OS that features multitasking, copy/paste because their customer base lamented these omissions, MS consciously chose to follow in their mistaken footsteps?
Doesn't make sense to me.

Both WinMo phones & N97 have a touchscreen, make calls (WinMo is a phone. Smartphone. Not PDA.), why can't I draw a comparison there?

It's an older battery now, but it never lasted more than 2 days. I use the touchscreen alot, full brightness, I use WiFi + data...because these are services that we use on smartphones these days. Do you save battery by leaving it in your pocket, to only pick up a call or reply to an SMS? Because then, why are you using a smartphone?

Advanced powersaving? The new devices have vicious hardware. They burn more battery. And I never saw anything about powersaving for that matter - the MIX2010 conference highlighted the fact that they are building around the idea that you recharge everyday because the battery will go flat. Because that is the way it works in 2010. You want to charge weekly, then you stick with your old phone. I can expand my "no taste" argument to accommodate this - you don't want to change from old (to consumers and Microsoft) ways, and therefore you are not going to catered for by the mainstream.

No idea what you are talking about with WM5 - are you saying you prefer 5 to 7, and you actually like 6.1 in comparison to the phones of 2010 (therefore backing up my "no taste" argument)? And thanks for giving a link to a page in Polish. No, I'm not going to bother translate it, because I don't think I should adapt to the translate feature that is present in Google Chrome. By cutoff bull****, are you referring to the cutoff feel of the WP7 UI? It's a design cue that many have embraced, pretty much none have flamed since the release of Zune HD. Hence, your viewpoint is again the minority.
I have absolutely no idea what you are basing your arguments off, brother. Sorry if you are offended that I targeted your sense of taste, but why so touchy? Maybe you should go get a non-touch phone, better battery life.

Copy & Paste is getting implemented, but in a far better way. MS needs to release the OS to OEMs, so they don't have time to implement it for release. It will come in an update. Link
I've stated how multitasking works in 2 ways - either running in background, or freezing in background. Picture Link Running in background only supports the default hubs and apps at the moment, but they are incorporating 3rd party multitasking in an update. Microsoft has never been great at meeting deadlines, but this isn't any way the fault of the OS. Link
MAybe......

Have to quote here:
"Microsoft should try to get all WM6.5 users to upgrade to WP7 (discount for tradein or something?), then leave 6.5 dead."
This doesnt seem like sense to me - we have many many markets over the world that are only just catching on with tech that UK and some Euro/US users have had for years.
Some countries will be using old OMAP processors and Windows 6.5 for a few years yet, some countries dont even have this kind of tech avilable anywhere!
Well off users with 1 year old OMAP crap tech will want to update to this new Gen - we were all sold duffers with the last 2 generations:
Rhodium, touch pro 1 all the others slow unweidly devices.
I can vouch for this personally, having had HTC tech (1 every gen) since HTC Canary smartphone was released in 2003.
My HD2 is what I would call useable for day to day people. My Rhodium is just to slow and prone to freeze even with newest ROMS and software. IF I gave, for example, my Mum a Rhodium she would go mad - like dial up internet, very frustrating when you have seen faster she expects things to happen straight away.
However, if a non tech savy person (my mum) was to use my HD2 they would have much less trouble even though its running windows mobile 6.5 - the user experience is so much easier and more comfortable. They dont need windows mobile 7, they just need decent tech powering their device.
"WP7 is not an iPhone. "
I think many people would disagree, it seems MS have taken EVERY cue possible from the last few generations of iphone when putting together their plans for this round of Windows 7 phone series - we will see what happens when new Xbox and PC OS is released how much further they will go with integration in newer builds (hopefully lots further!)
"The N97 got flamed because of the pathetic Symbian OS. I don't see why people think 6.5 is still competent."
Not entirely. The N97 runs S60 V5 (now known as Symbian OS ^1 or something) this is a limiting OS BUT.....the hardware of the N97 is where the trouble is. They removed the 3d Chip, the phone doesnt have enough RAM, Keyboard sucks compared to my Rhodium.
Samsung released their I8910 which ran same OS but had Milestone/Iphone 3gs tech inside it. I had one and browsing with Opera 10 and media playback on it was AWESOME!
Other firmware features did let the phone down (samsungs fault)
Nokia made history with N95 and other similar devices.
Such amazing, perfect devices for their time, similar to Iphone.
Everyone thought that the N97 would pick up where the N95 left off but it couldnt as they were splitting their Os's from S60 V3 over to Symbian Foundation and also Maemo...meego etc..
It would take a couple of generations before things settled.
Its going to be the same for MS with their 7 Series phones....They will need to run both OS's along side each other for a long while yet given the size of this world and their market divergance.
Maybe MS will do a similar split?>
7 Series for Media/social networing whores
Some sort of return to windows CE for more advaced users?
Maybe I dont care as Android will take over Windows Mobile 6.5 perfectly for me
I would love to know where tech will be in 10 years time!
Folding multi OS devices that change shape and beam holographic style!
I think things are ramping up to change very quickly, OS shelf life is going to shrink as hardare jumps ahead of it with increasing leaps.
Exciting lol!
I've done Windows handheld devices for several years and was very happy when I got my first WinMo phone and could combine two devices into one.
I've currently got a TP2, but looking ahead, I don't think I'm going to like WinMo7. So I'm deciding on what WinMo phone will carry me for a few years and that is boiling down to whether to stick with the TP2 or upgrade to an HD2.
I've played with an HD2 in a T-Mobile store and it seemed pretty nice, but I have a question....
Can the WinMo email client be enabled instead of the HTC version? I was not impressed with it.... Really, I'm not too impressed with the HTC Sense interface. While it looks slick, it is not as integrated and thought-out as the stock WinMo interface... which itself loses to something like the Blackberry interface in integration.
TIA!

did you men themes like iPhone?
or iPHONE OS apply on JAMIN? lol
The real iOS can not be ported to Jamin.
In fact, to my knowledge it was not ported to any device, but if the possibility existed, the device would have to have hardware almost identical to the iPhone, so Jamin is out of the question.
