Has any one put wp7 on any android phones such as samsung galaxy s's was wondering cuz wp7 seems reAlly clean compared to android and ios

Theres an app called Windows Phone Android that makes a bad attempt at ripping off the UI. Sadly its unlikely that that would ever happen as WP7 has different hardware requirements and you'd pretty much have to reinvent the bootloader

The only thing I'm aware of custom WP7 running on is the HTC HD2. But it likely won't be long before a great many other phones have it. Sadly, it requires authentication and a key from MS, which will likely be useless after any update.
The good thing, though, is, MS rarely updates WP7 devices. LOL
Well that figures lol thanks anyways guys

It's unlikely to happen because Galaxy S is on Hummingbird Platform while all current WP7 devices runs on Qualcom platform.
More likely an android port to WP7 phone can be done, though I doubt the necessity
I'm basically in no matter the specs as long as it's below $250.
I just sold my galaxy tab 10.1 for lack of a development community.....

Yeah the cheap price point is good, I'm debating on giving up on my a500 but i do want a smaller device, a ten inch tablet is a little uncomfortable most of the time

The gtab has AOKP. That's all you need
Tegra 3 + IPS Display with decent build quality and around $200 is what's making it easy to pull the trigger. I have to pull it though because it's running Jelly Bean, and will be up-to-date in comparison to any other tablet.
I might be selling my gtab 2 with omap4460 chipset and wolfson 1811 sound chip soon.
...
Pretty sure I'm in. Only question is whether or not to sell my xoom.

I *want* to be in because I like my GNex phone so much. But I'm not sure about the whole 7" thing. If I want real portability I'll use my phone. I'd rather have a 10+ inch display on a tablet which makes magazines, newspapers, Google Reader more enjoyable. I'm not sure I get the whole 7" tablet idea (for any manufacturer). Seems like just a big phone that starts to limit the things you can do with it.
What bag can you carry a 7" tablet in that you can't carry 10"? Do people really look at a 10" tablet and think they will have trouble carrying it around compared to a 7"? (serious question).
Not sure about the 7 inch form factor...i do know that the ten inch felt too big to me on the galaxy tab.
I'm also not convinced about the utility of a tablet.between my wife and myself we have 3 laptops,2 chromebooks, 2 newish Android phones (gn+gs2) and a kindle.
I just don't understand what a tablet does better than the rest of that.
BUT,i love geeking out with the roms, etc...so I'm in on the nexus7...

Any ideas if the little fella will come with a sim slot for mobile data?
That'll be the deciding factor for me.

I probably will buy it. But I Love the form factor of my galaxy tab 8.9 it is large enough to get more information on the screen, but not to big where you might as well have a laptop. I think that's the best tablet size IMO.
I was really interested but I'm not so sure I can justify it. I already have two "bastard" android Tablets. An hp zeen with no market or apps (7"), and an HP touchpad where most games are blocked or don't work (10", 3:2). I would really like something a bit bigger than 7" or something with an amoled screen, but it will be nice to have something with better support.

I still want to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250, i'm fanscinated by its 4.6-inch, 720 x 1280 pixels Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
But i have several question.
is it having a nice battery time? Is the dual-core processor making everything run smoothly?
How about the auto-rotate feature?
(attached the link here: http://dx.com/p/samsung-galaxy-nexu...uper-amoled-wi-fi-and-gps-black-118551?item=4 , so you can get the correct one and give me suggestion), thanks!
Whether it's running you apps smoothly depends on what you will be running, but the processor is pretty good.
Battery time, about 3-4h screen on time, depends on how you are going to stretch it.
The battery time varies depending what you having running in the background (apps, widgets, etc) but for it gets me through a day no problem.
With the new version jellybean its very smooth. Im not sure how it is for 3d gaming because I don't play those.
And yes, it does auto rotate nicely.
I really like this phone, but with Google's big announcement upcoming with perhaps the announcements of the release of the new smartphone and phablet Nexus models, you might want to wait since there's nothing worse than buyer's remorse.

To make it short :its the best phone ever, it'll handle your 3d games fine, battery life is good, beautiful display, everything works as expected.

The battery will last you a day easily. The thing that kills the battery is gaming(same as with any phone). IMO the galaxy nexus is still the best phone to date not based on pure specs but on the user experience the galaxy nexus gives you.

No it won't. Stop perpetuating rumors that are known to be false. Most of the 4.2 rumors are by a single individual known only as Hoaxer or Peter.

I have determined that smartphones these days are all about the user experience. The Gnex is behest of any nonsensical bloatwares that mfg loves to apply on an otherwise good phones (you know those ones). Google intends the Nexus devices to be pure unadulterated Android experience. As such it runs fast and smooth.
Add the large dev community behind it that constantly create new roms and kernels for it. Therefore the Gnex will continuously improve.
With the Galaxy Nexus, you can also be certain that most apps will run great on it. Not just because of its pretty great specs,but also because because the Gnex is often regarded as the benchmark phone when building an app.
One downside I can think of right now is probably the not-so-stellar live wallpaper performance, especially the scrolling ones. Even on jellybean, some of the stock live wallpapers still trails behind when navigating between homescreens.

Trust me, you will not be disappointed. And for the price? It's a friggin steal. Everything is super smooth. If you are gonna root (which I hope you will) there are plenty of roms that increase performance. But even if you don't, it is extremely smooth, all round.
Developer support is unmatched
But, if you are willing to spend some more cash, I'd say wait for the Google announcements. We'll definitely be seeing at least one more nexus.

Hi there, I'll always vouch for a device released by Google. You should definitely get this phone cos you'll be guaranteed OTA updates without the bloatwares other device manufacturers add to their versions of Android or you could wait for the next Google phone which might be coming out soon.

Definitely shows promise, but I'm locked into Android for the time being.
Just pulled out my HD2, which has WP7.5 on it (giving to my bro for a loaner), and it is a slick interface. Zune may have flopped, but it is just nice to use.
But, I'm Google-locked for now.

Not even remotely interesting. User interface is atrocious.
Beautiful phones softwate and hardware wise. Run extremely smooth especially the lumia 920. I like android for the freedom but if i had to choose a business phone it would be a windows phone 8 device. Apps are still far behind as their new. If you dont play games tho then they have apps for everything productivity wise.

Lumia 920 looks pretty nice. I have an upcoming hardware upgrade and since I'm buying the Nexus 4 outright, I'll upgrade to the Lumia to give it a try. I hope that Microsoft won't pull another Windows Phone 7 not upgradable to Win8 thing.

I have always thought the same way. It looks very nice as a business phone especially that Windows OS is mostly used in offices at organizations so it should pair and integrate better with Windows Phone I guess, however, they seem either more expensive or same price to high-cost Android phones, so this makes it harder to pick a WIndows Phone if I can get a similar specifications running Android which will also fit well as a business phone

I don't know how you didn't understand my post I clearly said windows 8 pro on my Pc, but I agree win 8 on a smartphone or tablet would be complete garbage compared to android, its a no brainer win8 mobile clearly sucks but so did android before ICS an jellybean came along, I absolutely despised gingerbread an anything before it compared with iOS back then.
Fyi All windows 8 operating systems can be considered mobile now. Just depends on what hardware its on. Tablets with keyboard attachments are going to be huge in 2013.

No they aren't. Just because companies will make them doesn't mean they will be huge. Adding a keyboard attachment defeats the entire point of a tablet and I think the market will respond accordingly.
I think Windows 8 phones might start to catch on in enterprises but for the mainstream users they will probably stick with Apple or Android. How well the phones integrate to the Office suite of products will drive the success or failure of the Windows 8 OS in my opinion.

I have the OG Nexus 7 and I find typing on it to be a pain which is really my only complaint about the 7 inch form factor. I find it equally difficult in portrait and landscape. I'm getting ready to purchase the new Nexus 7 and the fact that I can hardly type on my old one keeps weighing on my mind. So what do you guys do to type easier on your Nexus 7's?

Wha? There's a tablet version of swiftkey? Gonna have to find that for sure. I loaded up the normal one and it works, but I'm guessing a tablet version has a lot better layout/size/shape of the keys.
I'm using the phone version of SwiftKey, at first it was a bit hard to type but when you're accustomed to it, you can't change keyboard (I don't even want to use the tablet version.) I guess the 7 inches plays a role here.

Forgot I bought thumb keyboard a long time ago. Just installed it and so far it seems much better. The keyboard itself seems less sensitive o am getting less double clicks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I find it the perfect size for me to type on in portrait mode - way too wide in landscape (at least with my thumbs). I use Ultra Keyboard because I've always had HTC phones and am used to the keyboard layout. Ultra Keyboard is the only one that I found that duplicates that layout.
The only problem that I've got with the stock keyboard is that the layout is different than on my phone. Other than that, I've turned up the autocorrect aggressiveness, and it catches nearly every error that I make. Of late, I've been finding that the stock android keyboard is better than the ones you can purchase off the Play Store. I think it's because Google's putting a ton of work on the general look and feel of their OS, and the keyboard is a major part of that.
