As someone in that convoluted post tried to point out...why would you want to go back to an older OS? And what's so technologically better about Windows 95/98/XP that would make you want to replace WM 6.1 with 10+ year old OS software? I don't see the benefits other than saying..."Look what I have on my PDA".

BTW this would NOT be a good idea to do to a Titan or any other PDA phone for that matter if you plan on actually using it for calls, the internet, text messaging, etc...

I couldn't agree more.

I also agree. but would still like to see it work. similar to the totally useless android thing going on right about now.

everything is boring with the phones at this time till the new ones come out. useless projects (or maybe not. no telling what it could lead to) like these are the only fun things to kill boredom. unless you're a noob.

yea, replacing 6.1 with a non working OS would be a complete waste of time.

BUT ADDING XP TO YOUR PDA WOULD BE GREAT!!!!! Can't wait to see it happen.

It would be pretty cool

But I agree, it wouldn't be very practical at all. I loved XP (yes, past tense), I run it on three of my five rigs, but it just isn't proper for a phone, just like when you see someone with racing seats, hood scoop and a **** exhaust on a Dodge Neon.
