VIDEO: Windows Phone 7 Ported to HTC HD2
Will the HD2 be the first Windows Phone 7 device?
When Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 at the Mobile World Congress last month, everyone was surprised to learn that the HTC HD2 would not be getting the new OS once it launched. The HTC HD2 was instead going to remain a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, which in turn raised the question of who would buy the phone now that they knew it would be out of date by the fall?
Well, it looks like things aren't over just yet for the HD2. Apparently some Russian developers have managed to port Windows Phone 7 to the HTC HD2. HTCpedia admin tom_codon says WiFi, Blutooth and GPS are almost all working. The graphics drivers are a little laggy but according to Tom, they're planning to release a beta version soon.
Check out the videos below.

Looks a little laggy to me, hopefully thats not ready for release.
Im sure the XDA cooks are baking up their own Windows Phone 7 roms.

Not to mention the fact that the HD2, as powerful as it is, only really meets the bare minimum requirements for Windows Phone 7. The anticipation is that the phones released towards the end of this year will have a stronger feature set such as the QSD8x50A and the QSD8672 that should be available by then.

They already have its called the Sprint EVO 4g..im sure u heard of it.
it looks amazing from my point of view..
note is an unreleased os..
not finished yet..
and is running on a non approved hardware..
The individual that did this notes that the lag is due to a video driver problem. Once they figure that out it looks to be pretty slick. Not likely something I'll get though.
2+2=4 !!!
and no multitasking. I've a 8years old symbian device that supports multitasking...
Yeah, from my understanding Microsoft is stealing Apple's innovations by preventing multitasking except on a few native apps and that there will be limits on the cut and paste functionality also.
It is disappointed that they've crippled WP7, but it is even more disappointing that people want to adapt this OS to new phones. I always hoped they would improve the system - now I'll have to abandon their phone OS with all my apps and find something else.
2+2=5 !!!
Radiohead anyone?

It's probably because of the port
How about Maemo, MeGo or ... Android ported for HTC HD2? If that were the case, then it would be interesting.
