Let's get this thread going. I know if android never came about I would be using some kind of Nokia flagship device.

I would probably have a dumb phone still. The only network that has service at my house is verizon, and the way I see it without android the iPhone would still be exclusive to ATT so I couldn't get that. Also, without the iPhone and Android's success Microsoft may not have felt such pressure to improve, and WinMo would be more like 6.5 was then Windows Phone 7. Blackberry's all seemed business too so that would be beyond that. That all happening I wouldn't really see any smartphone as usable for me. If however everything was the exact same, and android just disappeared today I think I'd get a HTC Trophy on VZW.

I would have gotten the iPhone. I'm kicking myself still for getting Android instead -.-
WebOS phone although HPalm sucks at build quality. I love the OS but another manufacturer needs to start building the hardware etc
I'd be using the iPhone probably...
It's a great product afterall, only thing I don't like that much is the control Apple exerts on what you install on it. So if there's no Android, I'd probably own a jail-broken iPhone.
I just want my phone to be, well, mine.
It would have to be iOS. In my opinion, Android is better, but not by much compared to iOS. It's a great operating system and I would have to choose that particular OS.
I would stay with Windows Mobile. All other newer phone OS suck.
-My signature is better than yours-
WP7... Ahthough im gonna switch anyway even if android exists

I guess i'd have stuck with Windows, so i'd be rocking a WP7 device.
I probably would have kept my HTC HD2 lol

Is there any possibility of porting windows phone (Mango) OS on HTC Incredible S?
Is that even possible?

Don't know anything about that phone but the source code is most likely fully released.

hd2 is just one lucky phone.
The hd2 is one of the first high-spec phones. So it created a huge user base.
And since most of the hardware was very well documented and what was not was reversed in a relative short amount of time.
Besides that, most people didn't like win mobile 6.5 because it has quite some flaws.
Basically thats why the HD2 is just well one of the only phone's that has all the OS systems.
Friend of mine also has HD2 with Cyanogenmod on it, compared to my old desire (with cyanogenmod) its extremely fast.
Because the Incredible S has a pretty small user base its not very likely that win7 is available for our phones, but when someone (or group) is willing to write something similar for the desire HD or any other Android Phone which has similar specs as the IS there is a possibility that someone is willing to port it to the IS. (think of a custom bootloader or wrapper script)
Until than, your out of luck and have to do with android , but i cannot imagine that that really is a problem.
p.s. olmost forgot: the bootloader of the HD2 was pretty "simple" compared to the bootloaders we currently have and was pretty easy to modify to run a different OS.

you should read this article about HD2.
the Wp7 drivers for HD2 were leaked, probably that was why it was possible.
not on the IS though ):

Thanks for the link.
So can anyone enlight me with what's the point of having a custom ROM in a Windows Phone 7 platform?
Some of the features I've seen under the development section adds multi language support, xap installs(not sure what this is), but I don't really see any major improvements.
Am I missing something here?

Many improvements, Android fanboys wanting to start trouble are not welcome here. Exact same can be said of the hundreds of copycat android roms.

I'm not a fanboy lol. I have an HD7 wanted to know what was the advantage of adding a custom ROM to my phone.
Thanks anyway
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I apologize, my mistake. Custom roms now give the user a different look and the ability to sideload apps. Access to file system is also moving along nicely with unlocked roms. There are many advantages allowing for more customization of WP7.

I would also like to know. My buddy had his hd2 replaced w a hd7 and he wants to sell it. Im considering buying it and it would be my first wp7 device.
I want to veer away from android for ****z n giggles, but wanna make sure I'm not blowing money for no reason. I love custom roms, so please, what's the advantage, are there special apps that benefit from root access? Are there other devices that get more dev support? Or is the hd7 a good all around device? I'd be paying like 150 for my buddy's refurb which he didn't even take out of the box yet. Can't be that bad of a deal right?

$150 is a lot for the HD7 these days.
Sent from Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
If it's in great condition, 150 would seem fair, this device is getting more and more support as time goes on. Gen 2 devices are just starting to come out, so it is not really outdated yet.

Its an unused refurb from asurion so yeah its in perfect shape. Now I'm all on the fence about superAmoled or not cuz a Samsung focus will run me around 150 aswell. I am definitely itching bad to get a wp7 device .....

I have found many discussions on it and most of the people are saying that BlackBerry is the best option as a business phone. Is there any other competitive phones?
No blackberrys are the best native business phone but you could hack your android or get microsoft office...etc to make it better then black berry

Iphone.
haters gonna hate
The bionic is what my gf uses for business. In my opinion it's really just the best phone optimized for business.

Best business phone? HTC Kaiser
Best all around? HTC Leo
Best gaming? IPhone
Best for fun? The latest HTC series after the Desire
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
i think Galaxy Note could also serve well as a business phone with its gigantic screen. but friendly, it is best to type with a physical keyboard..hence blackberry still holds its place in the business world.
people also said the email function of blackberry is still be best, true?

You forgot to mention the great " touch pro2"
Hi, I've been digging around here and generally around the internet too. There doesn't seem to be much interest in developing for this, yeah ? Does anyone know if there exists a port of Cyanogenmod for the Butterfly S or if anyone is developing for it at all? Love this phone but i'm not expecting much in terms of updates and that really would be a shame.

Hmm.. Yeah, it is a really nice phone. How was the original Butterfly with updates ? I'm liking some of the stuff Google is doing with 4.4 and i hope the update makes it over to the Butterfly S as well eventually.
The original had the updates to 4.2.2 right after HTC one but I sold mines because I wanted dual speakers bigger battery etc. I till miss the lightness of it

I just hope they don't repeat the crap with the One S again. So far HTC has not been clear on when the Butterfly s getting 4.3. IF there is an update we likely won't be delayed since these phones are unlocked. Taiwanese versions usually get it first shortly followed by the rest.
Also an interesting note it seems you can disable BlinkFeed on One X/X+ and original Butterfly on 4.2/Sense 5, but they left out the "home screen style" option on the Butterfly s and One which means you can't disable it. Personally I don't mind Blinkfeed I look at news from it whenever I'm bored, but it seems a lot of people hate it. It seems HTC wanted users of the newer devices to use Blinkfeed but didn't want to force older device users.
The HTC ONE and the butterfly s came with blinkfeed so ya can't change it but older models were updated so u have a choice
