'DROID INCREDIBLE' --- HD2? Flash to WM?

jhasty01 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-05-2010, 05:20 PM

Hello,

I have Verizon so it looks like rather than getting the HD2 or EVO 4G, I am stuck with the Incredible.

Has anyone attempted to flash it to Windows Mobile? The only way I will get this phone is if I can put WM on it.

What do you guys recommend? I could go with the Imagio... I need to retire this ppc6800/titan back from when Alltel existed. I have to admit, it runs wm6.5 decent and it's still kicking like a champ..

Thank you.

Not possible that I'm aware of. Most people want to go the other way and get Android on to WinMo phones.

Yuck.

I am sure that it is possible, but it may not have been done yet or enough that you have seen evidence of it.

Any others? !

Well lets see the phone has just been released so I'm going to stick with what I said before. No it has not been done nor is anybody looking to do it.

Try going over to XDA and ask the same question and I'm sure you will get the same answer.

Sweet, thanks for your reply.

Anyway --

If there are any other users who have Verizon that want the snapdragon 1ghz processor and prefer the Windows Mobile technology over google's operating system-----feel free to reply.

you can always get the LG Fathom it has a 1ghz snapdragon. correct me if I am wrong but it is the only windows mobile phone on Verizon that has the snapdragon. it doesnt look like a bad phone but I will never give up my incredible for anything 6.5.whatever they will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

if the "incredible" came with winmo on it, pretty sure it would be called the "mediocre." haha, sorry i just had to...

as the post above says, check out the lg fathom, pretty sure it has a hardware keyboard though, not sure if you wanted that or not. but its your only choice on verizon with a snapdragon in it. best of luck

may i ask why you want winmo so badly? maybe give android a shot, the incredible is a great phone, you can always return it within 30 days and switch to the fathom, just a thought.

I think I've seen this same thread over on XDA. The conclusion over there was that it will not ever happen because Windows requires 'licensing' to be used and is purchased for each individual Windows Mobile phone you see. Android (Linux) is open source, therefore, you can pretty much do whatever you want with it which is why you see it used on WM phones but not vice-versa. Therefore, it would be blatantly illegal. Besides, from a OS vs OS standpoint, I've used WM phones for a loooong time but became sick of soft-resetting everyday, telling people to hold on a second while I figure out why my phone froze so I could check appointments, having a sucky marketplace, (do I need to continue?). I'm not bashing WM users but once I tried Android running off my SD card on my TP2, I was hooked and it wasn't even fully working!
