Hi chiefs and community members!
Just wanted to let you know that Microsoft has official reached "Gold Status" with Windows Mobile 6.5:
http://winfuture.de/news,50454.html
One of the first available devices with the new OS will be the HTC HD2 (more or less an 1GHz-Touch HD) released today:
http://www.computerbase.de/news/consumer_electronics/kommunikation/2009/oktober/htc_hd2_display/
Both links redirects you to german news sites.
Maybe one or more of our chiefs can cook some cool HD2 based WM6.5 ROMs for our loved Touch HD in the near future?
Big Thanks and bye for now,
Future

I am using 6.5.1 and i am in love with it Im just hoping someone cooks the new more stable build, im so excited and will definitely buy many beers for the person who does so!
HD2!!!
I heard it was going to be HTC LEO, with the 1ghz processor and there are rumors that Microsoft will release the wm7, 5 months after the wm6.5 is officially released. I think that's gonna be a nice OS. Lets wait and see...
There are a few HTC Leo (HD2) Custom ROMS already floating around on XDA..... mostly based on 6.5.1 build 23016
i think, there should be offical roms in every language after this official release, now. isn´t it so? i´m waiting for the final version in german with the new softkeys. hope, we´ll get it, soon!!!

I think you dont know whole story m8
HTC TOUCH HD (was the first)
At the next stage of R&D they divided it in two separate devices
HTC TOUCH 2 (code name Mega)
HTC HD 2 (code name Leo) if anyone calls it HTC TOUCH HD2 it is not big deal

No!
Blackstone = HTC Touch HD
Leo = HTC Touch HD2
HTC Touch 2 is another phone!
So if the official WM6.5 is out, what build is it based on 23016 ???

So, sorry if I didn't read up much but I saw this as the LEO here, which refers to TouchProThree, so I wondered. And if Chrome's search works correctly I didn't find any keyword "leo" in all the links you all given. So, hmm. Leo surely got a mysterious identity.

sorry for my bad english, im from germany.

Hi, would it be possible to buy the HD7 (Trophy) and change the rom to WM6,5?
I like the phone and its size but my company's email software and some other softwares are not WM7 compatible. Is it possible to install WM6.5 onto the Trophy or should I just get an older phone (probably HD2)?...
Get an older phone if you want to use 6.5.
trade me, i've got a brand new, never used hd2 . j/j, i hate at$t.
HD7 with WinMo 6.5 is HD2
ha ha ha ha ha
sorry
this is really funny
get a new/reconditioned HD2 on email for around £250 in UK
Fundamentally incompatible

The hardware of the hd7 and the hd2 are almost identical, but the hd2 is actually better. It has a removable sd slot also.
The HD2 had to be redesigned because the Windows phone 7 OS is actually a silverlight runtime environment and needed different hardware and that means different drivers. There is currently no way to use the hardware on the hd7 with wm6.5.
I assume you ask this because you want the flexibility of third party apps...
I just went and downloaded Microsoft Expressions Blend 4 and started to write my own apps for my phone
Just get yourself an HD2...same performance

Thanks
Super thanks to all of you!
I hoped to get an answer that I can install WM6.5 until there are some apps available for WM7 from my company. And then reinstall WM7. I guess it is not that easy... I will get the HD2 then...
Thank you for all the answers
What is "WM7" of which you speak?

What HTC 7 Pro in Windows Mobile? I would really love that phone if it had a decent OS (Windows Mobile)

What exactly are you asking? HTC 7 Pro?
The HTC HD7 is a windows mobile phone (Windows Mobile 7) it's really the HD3, but htc jumped to 7 to keep the number synonymous with WM7.... to avoid confusion, although people are still confused. Here's an easy way to look at it;
htc HD2 ---> WM6.5 OS
htc HD7 ---> WM7 (sometimes referred to as Windows Phone 7) OS
Seems you are confused a little..there is no Windows Mobile 7, there is Windows Phone and Windows Mobile..and that ended with 6.5.
But there is no other modern hardware with full keyboard..so the 7 Pro needs Windows Mobile.
When someone buys a Win 7 phone and wants to install 6.5 to get productivity then I really think MS have a major problem or the guy who started this thread is having a lend of us.
I would love to have 6.5.x on my HD7 dual boot
there are a lot of apps available for 6.5.x including multiple browsers copy and paste that i could use while we wait for wp7 to grow in functionality. At this point it would be ideal to be able to dual boot with 6.5.x and wp7, I could do things I need to do on 6.5 and then go back wp7 for the most part.
Are there any news about WM 6.5 ROM for the HD7? I have so many apps for 6.5 with no eqivalent in WM7. It would be great to have WM 6.5 on the HD7. I like the feeled speed compared to the HD2 and it feels easier to swipe with the finger, it have a faster response...

The HD7 feels faster because it runs WP7. Its processor runs at the same speed as the HD2's. The HD2 feels slower because WM6.5 is a big bag of smelly animal poo.
First of all there is no such thing as WM7, it was aborted in favour of WP7 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile).
I suggest posting in the WP7 Rom development section your requests rather than here. Considering XDA-Devs is working on craking WP7 itself and when that happens possibly Android, I think the dead OS Windows Mobile will be low down on their list.
I also think dual booting is not all what it's made out to be! I dual-boot my HD2 to Android, and no longer use WM6.5. Why you ask? Well WM 6.5 is dead, most of the services (if not all) for WM6 are available on Android.
If you really must have Windows Mobile, best option is to get a HD2, it has very good support for WM, much better than any fudgeware that could be put on the HD7.
I have my HD7, my old HD2 still uses copilot and now a few apps only found in the Android market. I purchased a simple Pay as you go SIM to keep that phone alive.
I hope its possible soon..the HTC 7 Pro is on the market soon..and there is no alternative to it...
Give me strength!!!!!
What planet are you guys on? MS has switched development to WP7 and are not likley to support WM6 (maybe something in the numbering may give the game away here [sarcasm])
No matter how good the guys at XDA are, they are not going to crack WP7 overnight, it took them over 2 months to crack HD2 last year and that was on technology that didn't differ too much from WM6.1. WP7 is from the ground up.
As for the HD 7 Pro, it will come with WP7, nor Fairy phone 6 or anything else. And guess what? It's not even released yet so no point in asking people to crack it before it's been released.
http://www.htc.com/www/product/7pro/specification.html
Can one of the Mods close this useless thread or move it over to the HD7 Dev thread so all the Devs can laugh at it?
win mobile 6.5 on htc hd7
In reality, this requirement is due to the fact that many programs such as ACR (audio call recorder) and many other contacts backup is not running on win mobile 7. That's why I consider it important to install win 6.5 on hd7, at least temporarily.
thanks

No one has ever ported winmo to hd7, and no one is working on it. So, its a no.
Another waste of thread
Why don't you just buy/keep the HD2?
Everything this guy just listed as an improvement and greater quality on the HD7 is a result of the OS, yet he wants to bring it down and move back to a slower, inferior OS... You won't keep the speed and effectiveness on WinMo, sorry, that is all due to the better OS.
considering the hd7 and the hd2 share most of the same hardware, any improvements are strictly because of the new OS which you would kill by putting winmo on it.
This OS is hardware accelerated for the snapdragon chip and gpu, that is what makes it shine.

You may want to check the ROM development section for the diamond, e.g. this thread:

As the Diamond goes, the DIAM100 is unfortunately the inferior model. If you can get your hands on a solid DIAM500 model (the improved CDMA unit), you can do a lot more, and they can be had on eBay for around $30 which gets you a decent smartphone that is great for prepaid (or postpaid) plans.
Just watch out for blacklisted ESNs, and you'll be good.
