The WP7 port is indeed a fake. The main issue with WP7 is not roms itself because they can cook them up. They are missing the boot files to boot WP7. If and when they get those the port will be done easily. Seeing as the HD2 has the hardware needed for WP7.

how do you know this guy didn't get/make boot files?

peace peeps

if they change it then its no longer the HD2, however it is quite probable that the WP7 device that HTC kicks out (they've managed to be uncharacteristically quiet) is essentially a modded HD2 because there's no other reason the phone can't run it

yeah, MS finally dropped the hammer a few weeks ago, no upgrade through official channels

I thought all of these were just RDP of the wp7 emulation on the pc?

To create a phone with wp7 will require more then an emulator as a source because of the x86 issue and ARM not being compatible. Not only that none of the features would work anyways due to lack of drivers.

test roms for wp7 have been released for the tg01 and hd2...those were the first devices that were used to base the other devices
