Hey guys,
I'm already thinking of what my next phone will be. I now have the SE Xperia X1 and it's getting boring, you know.
I have some options to choose for:
- Samsung Galaxy Apollo
- Acer BeTouch E130
- Nokia E5
Help will be appreciated
ok.. DO NOT got for a Nokia!.. had 1 for 2 years.. had to keep on flashing ROM every week to keep it fresh, thats how slow it was! The battery is bad, and you will never get any updates.. In my opinion, if the phones had a different OIperation System, then maybe the phnoes would be better..
if you need a phone that has a full QWERTY keyboard, try looking at a BlackBerry since they are the ones that have the most experiance, with their phones..
hTC
HTC sounds good!
I agree with the above posters, HTC.
Better get a Motorola Droid, I have one and it's the best phone I ever saw!
In my opinion..
have a look over here...
Go in for the hTC desire or the newer WP7 devices...Samsung is type of a retard when it comes to applications...If you do something wrong,drop it terribly,you face a heavy loss + 15-20 days of servicing...
WP7 is the great Microsoft fail since Windows Vista. Long live to Android!
Hd2 if ya kno wats good for u
Better get an Android phone. Because Android is the future
Android is the future? Lol
Better get an hTC device capable of running any OS you want: WM/Android/WP7=Leo
This is the future
I was thinking this morning about the Leo yeah, you can run Android and WinMo on it but I have a question about Android.
On my current phone when I run android the battery runs out very fast (also on Windows Mobile). My question is, is the battery life good on the Leo? (android)
I think Iphone is best .......What next after this .

first version of a brand new OS and it's already better than android 1.0 with more apps than android had at launch.

Battery life is now about the same on android and winmo.
to the OP, take the big plunge, get a wp7 device. Already has quite a few apps and the phones are very smooth. Be different.
Remember, my maximum is 245 euros.
I can buy it second hand!

The new HTC hd7 you'll probably be able run whatever on it like the hd2 and it had Windows 7
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I would recommend the Samsung Vibrant or that S7 phone!
Would it be possible to have Android on this phone since its basically the same phone as the hd2
I assume you mean as a duel boot? As i see a lot of people asking to put android on it yet they could just buy the htc desire hd an almost identical phone that is designed to work with android. tbh i would love to see some sort of emulator for a couple of the apps but i am so so glad to be rid of android i loved it but it felt like an early 90's computer all basic with no flair.
I think it would be possible but it will be glitchy and a long time off my advise would be if you want android to buy an android device they have a lot to choose from.

its more advanced then the HD2 and has less touch buttons
however its a bit of a silly question IMHO. If you want android get the Desire HD.
Why put a round peg in a square hole ?
I actually think it's a great question.
Why would people want it? because it gives you CHOICE!
It would be great if you could dual boot with Android and WM7 so you get the best of both worlds: taking advantage of Android whilst also using WM7 while it matures. I'd absolutely love to have a device with android and WM7.
Wish I was a developer, I'd work on that project straight away! I'd pay to have a dual-booting HD7 (or desire HD!) !
Bring it on dudes!
Wow please close this thread since there are so many options available for android these days and if anyone needs a android phone they should buy an android phone
I'm not sure I agree with the last poster. T-mobile has no android alternative to the HD7 that I am aware of.

really? for tmous or t-mobile europe? Cause there is the g2 and mytouch4g that just came out android...
To the OP, considering how the hd2 android is booted from the sd card and technically, there is no sd card on the wp7 (once it's inserted it becomes program memory), I don't think this is happening anytime in the future. Gotta agree, that dual booting for computers can be important to some people, but for phones, I just don't see it happening with the newer os's.
I'm a layman with no technical knowledge, just interested, so my comment was more on a visceral level than technical. To clarify, what I meant to say was that '...there is no android alternative ...... I am aware of'...' regarding the large screen format of the HD7. I bought a G2 but returned it because it was bulky, and I decided that I did not need the slide out keyboard. I really liked my first foray into the andriod world during my two weeks using the G2, and was hoping that I would be able to use the HD7 with android as well.
PS. I'm in Florida.

If he wants Android, tell him to go get an Android phone if it's within 14 days, otherwise, it'll be awhile before Android comes to the HD7.

[Q] [question] HD7 ANDROID?
Okay I was just wondering.. is the dev going to make a way to port android to hd7.. I have a hd2 and its been ported.. I love android but love HTC 4.3 screen hd7 and plan on buying it.. what is there to come for the hd7. Android, or no?

I agree. I don't get it. WinPho7 is amazing. If you want andriod, dont get a brand new phone that just came out with a new windows version. Sure andriod has its perks, but so does Windows. I've had Apple, Andriod and Windows, and I just dont get the point of changing something off the bat. Altho He is probably thinking that the HD7 is like the HD2, with WinPho6.5, which I personally did not like. But it did have its perks too, like multitasking. I don't think many realize how long and how much work it took to bring Andriod to the HD2. I'm not a developer myself, but I can only imagine!
hd7
Okay I find out there is a phone out that's come close to the hd7.. its called HTC desire HD.. its looks just like the hd7 but the only thing defferent is the cam. Which is a 8mp instead of 5mp and its a android phone.. its not windows..
Just get a desire HD if you want an android powered 4.3 inch screen

If you want an android phone.. Why are you buying a hd7??
The answer is maybe. If you want Android, get an Android phone. There is a high likelihood that someone will at least attempt to port Android to the HD7. Whether or not it will be anytime soon, if it will be stable/usable, or if it will actually happen at all remains to be seen. My advice is not to buy a phone on the hopes that Android will be ported to it.
Did someone try porting the WP7 to the N1??
Not possible.
More importantly... WHY?
That'd be like taking the motor out of a Honda Civic and sticking it in a Lamborghini Gallardo. Fail.

I think it could be a great idea, because, for example, I really want our Nexus One to be like the HTC HD2! Been able to "work" also with other OSes..
Plus, Windows Phone 7 seems to be very snappy and minimal!
Android is obviously better, but I really want to try the Seven
...
There was another thread asking the same question and someone said only its possible to port WP7 to a android phone if there already exists a WP7 which is basically the same device with WP7 on it.
I think the HD7 is pretty much the same device as the HD2?
Hd2 is the greatest HTC device in the market thanx to all the devs to bring out the real potential of the LEO.wish all htc devices was able to do that.i would rather try wp7 on my hd2 rather than my n1.hd2 is fully functional android just like every other native androids and its running better than my n1.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
First of all I'm glad to know that my curiosirty has interest with other people as well.
second, the reason for the WHY is of course curiosity, and the fact that the N1 is a capable device and it'll be interesting to see how it would function with other OS.

I with I had the money to carry as much devices as I wanted to.
That's the reason I wanted the N1, and Android for that matter, to be flexible...

That's handy then, as teardowns show the HTC Surround is basically a Nexus One.
HD2 runs Android awfully, compared to N1. I couldn't stand looking at it stuttering all over the place where N1 flies.
The other problem for this port is bootloader and FS compatibility. While it could probably be overcome, it might not be straightforward, just as it's quite hard to install Windows and Linux on the same partition, both using different native FS. On WM phones there is many-years-old way of loading other systems "under" Windows (I'm not really into details, but AFAIK the other system doesn't load from bootloader, but from early stages of WM kernel - which is the reason why WM-loaded OSes run like crap). On Android phones, it doesn't work that way, and there is no universally used way of loading other OSes.
And the biggest problem for all the curious would probably be just that no dev has taken interest in doing it.
if HTC 7 Surround is simular to N1, is it possible to port the whole bootloader and system of surround to N1. and and run Android "on the top" of WP7 just like what HD2 does
this could be a very very interesting project... as there are quite a few developers currently working on a WP7 like launcher for android. and if we could run wp7 it would be a pretty amazing.

that is actually provably false due to the fact the HD2 is TMobile-only. the devs have squeezed every ounce out of it no doubt, but for a phone to be the greatest HTC device it would have to be available across all GSM networks, not just the B-list one

The HD2 is not Tmobile only... Tmobile was the last carrier to get it lol. The HD2 is available on all GSM networks even ATT if you import an aussie or canadian version.

for AT&T 3G?
Edit: Ok, I guess the Telstra HD2 had AT&T 3G bands, so you could import the phone at a premium. i can't find it on Ebay, but the Cell2Get.com has it for a reasonable $831.99. it better be the greatest ever
I would love trying wp7 on my nexus. The OS interests me, not enough though to shell out for an entire new phone. Especially since all the wp7 phones really aren't special hardware wise.

So....
What does it take to port an OS??
do we need a new bootloader? do we need the WP7 source code?
You will never get WP7 source code.
I guess you'd need a complete dump from the Surround to work from.
I knew Android would eventually get ported to the HD7, but I sold mine! The HD7 will make an excellent Android phone, and an excellent upgrade from the HD2, because of the cap buttons. And now that WP7 is a half-hearted, at best, mobile OS, the timing for this is right on.
Thankfully I have an HTC Inspire, which is very much similar to the HD7 with cap buttons and all.

My roommate has an HD7. Please tell me someone here knows simplified Han Chinese (according to Google Translate). He would love it
i'm an HD7 user from Taiwan, and am patiently waiting traditional Chinese input for WP7.
this would be nice, but it would have to be a very complete and stable OS for me to make a switch.
IMO, WP7 is good enough for me now. Just need that chinese input, and i'm happy.
Preety Impress and sure it will rock on the HD7
But having come from android to windows, I seem to prefer Windows mobile now compared to android and may only consider flashing it if its dual boot or something
WP7 seems to have grown on me
Still have my HTC HERO for my android needs (although I just use it for flashing new roms and thats it nowadays )
dual booting would be awesome, hahaha
Holy Crap!
Can I have one too??
Im not impressed really.
These are the same people who showed us a video of wp7 on hd2 (back in november), booting from nand without magldr, but they never released anything until cotulla did it.
Android? Is that that really laggy, fragmented "operating system" which is a bastardization of a clone of UNIX, made by an Internet Advertising Company? The one that's "open source" but for which they're not releasing the source any more? The one that recently got hit by a bunch of trojan apps, and which the Pandora app exploited to snaffle user data?
Oh.
Yeah I want that on my HD7. No, really.

Not really. In the case of WP7, it turns out to be half-hearted at best. Android would be an improvement, especially on the HD7. It would be like pulling a Yugo hamster wheel out and installing a Corvette LT1.
We get it, you don't like it. XDA forums aren't for fanboys posting flame-bait. Take it elsewhere.
I think the port is done for the heck of it. I really don't see a pont to run Androind on my HD7. The biggest hurdle for me to try another OS is thelack of WP7 keyboard on those OSs. I cannot imagine typing using another SW KB anymore.

THere is already a sticky about this .... so no point opening another thread.
Android is not coming to HD7, as no one is working on a port.
So either be happy with Mango installed or sell it and get an android phone or trade it with the older HD2 where you can install your android
No biggie sold it already. My G2x is way better anyways
wtf? Android on WindowsPhone7? OS into another OS xD .. Maybe the idea was more like Android on HTC HD7. but interesting idea... would it be possible to have 2 OS in one? Like when u turn the phone on, you can switch between them.
