Install WM on Blackberry device
Hi,
I am planning to buy a new PDA. Device and feature wise I like Blackberry but 3rd party app and usability wise I would like to go with Windows Mobile based PDA. So my question to you experts is: Is it possible to wipe out the Blackberry OS on Curve 8310 or Pearl and install WM6 or WM6.1?? I tried searching internet and forums, but could not find answer to my specific question. Has no one in the world tried this before ?? I read the topic to format your blackberry device and reinstall blackberry OS: but is it possible to install Windows mobile OS on it. I have heard of app for windows mobile devices which gives it a touch screen interface. I have not heard of such app for blackberyy. This is the only app that is killing me in my decision and this is the only reason i would love to have Windows OS on blackberry. ](*,) Is there any emulator that can do this?? After no replies and negative answers from other forums I have turned to this forum with big hopes. Please give me some solution....... Thanks in advance |

The software provides the look and functionality of a Blackberry on a WM device, just like loading PocketNester or PointUI.

Re: Install WM on Blackberry device
Yes this is my first PDA. I am aware of the limitation and hence I had mentioned in my post has anyone in the world done it yet.
I am a believer and hence thought of brain storming. Thanks anyways |
Re: Install WM on Blackberry device
AFAIK, its not possible. WM is a memory hog. The blackberry is not designed to be able to run WM... even if it could, it'd be extremely inefficient.
It would be very interesting, though. |
Re: Install WM on Blackberry device
Its not possible on a fundamental level.
It would be like trying to install Mac OS on your TI 89 Graphic Calculator. The platforms and hardware are so fundamentally different that its not even a question of "has anyone tried it", its just not possible. The TI is a calculating machine and the Mac OS is a fully fledged computing system. However, you can install and run a TI 89 emulator on the Macintosh computer so that it looks like there is a graphic calculator pasted onto your screen, and it will run all the same commands and programs. The Blackberry is a very basic device- it does what it does extremely well (hence the popularity of it) but it is no where near as sophisticated a device as a Pocket PC. The Pocket PC can emulate it, however, with proper software. However, there is no way on earth that a system as simple as a BB can emulate a fully fledged PDA OS like Windows Mobile or even Palm! |
Re: Install WM on Blackberry device
Sounds like you just want a BB for the looks... and you're asking for too much
but if they did come out with a BB Curve without the trackball and added a touch screen with WM, I'd be all over it... |
Re: Install WM on Blackberry device
See, while I prefer WM over Palm or BB, I so wish that HTC could put a trackball on their phones. I don't know about anyone else, but it sure makes scrolling alot easier. I also think it would be very interesting to see a BB with WM and a touchscreen. Who knows, it could happen one day.
