Thanks Austin,

I was reading today that there was not going to be an upgrade option for the HD2 but it didn't say anything about the TP2, that's why I asked.

Nope, no upgrade to WP7 for TP2 since device doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements.

I'm sure WM7 will be cool and all, but I'll be perfectly happy with my TP2 dual booting Android and 6.5.3. I haven't even begun the real customizing yet as it just works so damned well already! If you are a technophile who just HAS to have WM7, then its time to upgrade.

Personally I am looking forward to the next 1+ years w/my TP2. After that WM7 will be properly patched and working great, and my upgrade will be ready, then we'll see about some newer more powerful devices.

If you are itching for a project and have a TP2. Get Android on there and help the devs test stuff out! We still need sound up in here!

That's what I'm doing, by the way, we now have sound! =D>

I feel a little better knowing the phone I got less than 2 months ago doesn't need to be thrown away next week ^^ I'm bummed if the next windows won't be really customizable. What's the feeling on that... do people think it still will be, just a little trickier than tapping a cab file? Or is it truly possible for it to be locked down totally and the OS will never improve?

I saw they started putting out custom droid x roms, is the droid pretty customizable? If windows 7 can't be tweaked fully maybe that's a good place to jump ship. I may install this dual boot thing, sounds cool.

edit: actually I just read this - http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/h...e-7-after-all/ ...that's good, sense can be pretty thoroughly customized to look pretty pimp.

yes...install android. i use android about half the time now.

i am getting very good results using the following procedure.

task29-mightrom official-android RAR install (not cab)

copy a shortcut to the little android link to your start menu.

boots to android faster than wm after the initial setup.

i dont think it has the capability to run WM7... However the HD2 runs Wm6.5 and you can actually run 7 as well.. im not sure based on this if itll be the same case..

Sure would be cool if it did...
