I figure I'm going to rile up quite a few people but I'm wondering if anyone has ever successfully used Windows Mobile on this device?
I'm asking because, believe it or nor-I actually like Windows Mobile and would like to use it if possible.
It's not possible.
As a user you can't get Windows Mobile on Android device.
And Samsung will never make WinMo for it.
you have now to keep gmail account forewer to login into andriod phone
ps: now is time that any search engine can make own OS (why not altavista crack os?=).
But just hold on for real OS . WM7 comes closer.
Well, that's too bad I spose....
Will android be available on windows phone 7? I had a hd2 and loved being able to switch between windows mobile and android. Im thinking of buying the hd7 once it comes out on t-mobile but want to know if there will be a realease of a linux hack for android on windows phone 7 later on.
Since the OS is locked down (for the time being), I wouldn't hold your breath as I don't see that being possible anytime soon.
Not at the moment.
Someone might be able to make this addition to the phone sometime but there are no options at the moment.
Guess the same goes for Windows Mobile then? Damn i wanted hat HTC 7 Pro..but not with Windows Phone

Why would you want to downgrade to an OS made by an advertising vendor?
Windows Mobile would be an upgrade.
Hi, is it posible to install WM 6.5 onto the HTC Desire HD?
I mean not as a double system, but instead of Android...
My company does not support either Android or WM 7 (email exchange software and communicator software which I must have) so I pretty much must get the HTC HD2 unless I could tweek the Desire HD to work with WM 6.5 until we get Android support in the company. The Desire HD has a better camera and screed so I would prefer to get it instead of the old HD2...
Any thoughts?

windows mobile is not open source like android, and thus cannot be adapted to non windows mobile handests without considerable work, as yet not one developer anywhere has expressed any intrest in a project like this and on a side note, as you do not own a licence for windows mobile (that you would get with a wm phone) a project like this could be seen as piracy
If your company requires you to check email on the move then surely it's their responsibility to provide you with a suitable phone to do so?
That's how it works at most places I've worked. Where I work now people who need to check work emails remotely get a Blackberry, but most still have their own personal phone too.
What exactly are you unable to do on the DHD that requires WM6.5???

It's not such a crazy request... I've got certain specialist software on WM6 which the developer isn't releasing on Android or any other platform.

As in they can't justify the cost of making a new version.

Hi,
thank you for your quick reply. My company has an exchange email software which connects to the main server giving the phone a "blackberry" function. It is not pop3 and we do not have a webmail due to security reasons (or possibly lack of enough resources to maintain it) The software is supported either on WM phones or Iphones. Symbian or Android are not supported. As I basically can chose any phone available from Vodafone, I chose the DHD (yes, I could also get a blackberry but I do not like them) but since the "switch" is not possible I will probably just pick the HD2
Thank you all for your fast replies
Regarding the WM licence. Yes, you are right and I was actually not thinking about it at all! Thanks for the reminder... Do you think it would be possible to get a WM7 phone such as the HTC Mozart or Trophy and install WM6.5 on it? Meaning, I am paying for WM but am installing an older version onto it???
I will post the question onto the proper forum page...
Is your company giving support for iPhone? Might as well remove the support of iPhone too.

Not...
The DHD is an android phone and not a windows phone, simple as, get a HTC HD2, that runs Win Mobile 6.5 and has a pretty good spec...
No, Windows Mobile will not run on the Desire HD.
Further, the Exchange functions will enable your employer to remotely wipe your phone, including all personal files and contacts you have, at their whim (which will be if you leave the company). Never, ever connect your personal devices to your company network, as most policies for that connection will state that they can inspect and monitor any communications or data on that device. Not saying you're hiding anything, just that your personal comms could be monitored by your employer.
Either have them purchase a Blackberry / WM phone for you, or get hold of one from eBay and use that.
Hi !
As far as I know, beneath Windows Phone 7 there is basically still Windows CE running. So I'm wondering, is/may/will it be possible to run Windows Mobile 6 Apps on Windows Phone 7? Or do we already know that this can't happen because the underlying architecture is too different? Is anyone working on this?
For example, has anyone tried to copy a Windows Mobile 6 Filemanager to WP7 and run it somehow?
Best regards
intripoon
I'm going to go with no here.... not only from all of the months and months and months of people saying no but from the simple fact that WP7 is based on silverlight which wm 6.1 and 6.5 aren't.... at all....
This is why aps aren't backwards OR forwards compatible which people put up a pretty big stink about when WP7 was announced but seems to have died down now that we're able to see what can actually be done with silverlight
So... no.. not compatible
Also, just think about the work to emulate the wm6 crappiness. Thousand of empty bucles, glitchy graphic rendering, millions of delays, agggg..
No, seriously. Windows Mobile was powerful, but it's just too old. It should be possible to emulate the applications (in theory everything is possible), but I think is just too much effort, and there is no such big reason to put resources on something like that.
Ok, now DreamForceTeam launched Windows Mobile 6.1 on Windows Phone 7 (HTC 7 Pro) and showed that on the movie (what is next ?):
Now this shows how terrible windows mobile was. I would do this on my trophy, but seeing how putting a laggy os on a phone designed for wp7 is so pointless, I'd rather put windows phone (hopefully tango) on wm devices.
Yessss, with this we may have the chance of using FpseCE on WP7!
Agree

Very well said, couldn't agree more. The fact you can do something doesn't mean you should. I was a WM 6.5 fan but would NEVER go back to that after over a year with the constantly improving WP7.

You know...the video shows pretty good performance over all on it. Yea, 6.1 was a dog but, There is still a hanful of apps I would use on it that there is no WP7 app for.
If this was downloadable, I would download it to try it. It would be nice to bring back some App memories...
Is this only on a custom rom ?
That's sort of nostalgic. But like I'd never put Windows 95 on my current computers, I would also never go back to the Windows Mobile days. Sick of constant lock ups, bad memory management, overall laggy behaviour and such. If I wanted to use Windows Mobile again, I'd rather buy an HD2 from craigslist or eBay than flash it on my WP device.
If we could use equalizers and audio effects, I would love to see dual boot.

Did you even watch the video ? He was running ON TOP of WP7, at one point in the video he hit back and it jumped back to WP7.
If it's like shown, an emulator, I'm great with it, if I have to flash my device, screw it, dont want it.
If I can dump 6.1 on my WP7 device to run when I want to, it opens a whole world of 10+ years of Apps that will run on it (and there is a lot more of 6.0+ apps than there is WP7 apps)
I would want to dowload it and install cabs to it, if I can't do that, then I have no needs for it.
I would much rather use an emulator on my phone than waste $150-200 on a HD2 that ran Windows Mobile 6.5 anyway.

I do miss the equalizers I had loaded on WM 6.X. I miss them a great deal. It is the one thing I am still waiting for in WP7. I have found replacements for most all of the other apps I used on WM over the last few months.

I gotta admit that I didn't watch the video. I just assumed it was the one I found over at Twitter last night where a modified bootloader was shown that started WM on a WP device. An emulator would certainly be nice to play with. But I don't see me using it for more than just bringing back some nostalgic thoughts.
I dont see the reason for the hate....it may not make sense to run win95 on currrent hardware but u cant apply the same logic when wp7 is missing features/apps wm had.

I wouldn't call it hate. Lack of comprehension maybe. If I felt Windows Phone was missing features and/or apps I was really dependent on, I simply hadn't bought into it.

IMO, going backwards not a good idea.
for me it is, i have great navigarion app for WM and it don't work on WP7, iOS and on Android with problems, or GCzII app for Geocaching, so for me great idea

It would rock to have Garmin Mobile XT up and running via this loader on WP7. I'm still running WM6.5 because of this software.
This will prove very useful for running emulators, flash, and legacy apps. Don't dis it. It's an app, not a flashed os. I'm wondering, though, if they could use any of the code from this to develop an android emulator. I mean, my windows phone rocks, but extra compatibility is always welcome. Keep it up DFT
i would use just to trick people into thinking i flashed it onto my focus

Just think. if you can run Windows 95 on a phone you can play Doom.... 1 or 2
Well if you have a keyboard...
