Instead of trying to run XP on it, how about Remote Desktop, you get the host's power and it's still, well, cool.

Remote desktop is cool but not everyone can do remote desktop. I used lomein to remot with my friends vista and it was ok. But I dont have my own cumpter connected. but if you are interested.. you can google "logmein" remote desktop you have to sign up for it and its free. but as to xp on the phone itself... i never heard of it

press thanks if I helped

Thats about the worst idea i've heard... I don't mean to knock...

putting on a Full Blown XP would just be horrific. I'm sure some genius can figure out how to put on XP Embedded, but i honestly don't see why you'd want to run XP on a Phone...

After all, its a PHONE and NOT a UMPC. the battery will die in 2 minutes if you ran XP... lol not to metion...

When was the last time u ran something on a VGA 640x480 resolution monitor running xp...XP was made to run at XGA or higher... it'll do 800x600 in safe mode and 640x480 in 4bit when yer video card is screwed... I think u should settle for a Sony Vaio P instead.

Nope. Windows doesn't run on ARM CPUs, only on x86 cpus.

You can run linux on them, with the Android front end, but that's still a work in progress.

Or, you can run windows CE, er, Windows Mobile.

What exactly did you want to do that you can't do with winmo?

Anyway, if you want a small nice handheld computer you'd be better off with one of those mini-notebooks that are sub-$300.

I recommend the Msi Wind u120 I have the older version the u100. Whatever you don't buy the Dell Mini yes it's cheaper but you can't add more RAM.

Buy a netbook for less than the price of the phone. </thread>
