I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

So I understand that the TP2 hardware won't run WP7 worth a squat, but what about the Evo?

I don't want to ditch Windows yet because I use my phone for business and I'm hoping the business edition of WP7 will rock.

What are the chances of getting the BETA of WP7 ported over to the Evo? I would buy it in a heartbeat then!

Anyone else with me?



P.S. I would have posted in the Evo forum but there are so many anti-windows/pro-android fanboys over there it makes me sick :protest:

By the time WP7 is readily available, I'm sure something superior to the Evo will be available...

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

True but then I can just pass this phone to my GF and I'll get the new one. Our phone upgrades are opposite :headbang:

if wp7 has the same restrictions as windows mobile currently does (which im sure it will) is will essentially be illegal to port without the proper licensing which can get exspensive. might as well just wait a purchase a wp7 device

"Q: Can you run Windows Mobile on Android Phones?
A: With enough resources given, sure. Will it ever happen? No. Why? Windows mobile compiler and builder cost $. As a matter of fact, as of version 5, it was going to cost me $75 per device. That's one of the reasons why handset makers went to Android open platform. Android is free and universal so as long as you use certain chipsets and certain items, you are good to go. Can it ever be ported? Sure. With right amount of time and money anything can be done. But at this point, it's cheaper for you to go buy a windows mobile smartphone."

As unpromising as WP7 has been sounding though I'm not even sure I'll make the switch... Android does seem to be taking off much faster than WM did, with all the promoting, advertising, and upgrades to the phones "cameras, processors, ram, etc" so that's something else you may want to consider... I just recently read somewhere that Android is on pace to blow the Apple Market out of the water...

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

Isn't there a rumor of a dual core snapdragons and 1.5ghz coming with wp7...

that said wp7 is not windows mobile anymore or aimed at businesses..it is a social media/game phone...

At the moment Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7 is probably a lot closer to winmo then wp7...

Is this really a topic in this forum?!?!? Really?!?!?! WTF!!! Just when I thought I saw it all...LOL...wow...](*,)

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

I think its funny that if you leave winmo for android you're all of a sudden a fanyboy. lol, keep em coming. How are we all anti windows when we all had tp2's?

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

That's an excellent point, I think that android started getting good, then sprint finally got some good hardware, and it just happened to come with android. So let's not talk about WinMo or droid fanboys, lets dish out the hurt to the iPhanboys together!!!

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

not only is the above statement true but most of us (that are vip) have not only owned a tp2 but have released a rom or some major mod for windows mobile!!

i dont hate windows mobile i just like having prompt updates and free tools to use to mod my device!! just last week i stop supporting my winmo rom (due to me selling my tp2)

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

just be thankful you're not getting an iPhone like me...

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

Yeah..I almost feel sorry for you...lol

Re: I'll ditch my TP2 for the Evo IF we can port WP7!
 

Yes indeed, in order to enjoy a great device with outstanding hardware, you gotta put up with the "omg you're such a fanboy lol rofl omg iphone sucks"

But it's all gravy, baby :headbang:

I would definitely get this phone today if I could put WM6.5.5 on it now and WP7 later. Android has a lot of promise but right now, for my needs, that is all android has. My old Touch WM let's me make BT voice dial calls now, it has for years. My phone before that let me do it to. Android 2.2 is going to get this with limitations however you'll lose the sense overlay for the EVO which makes Android tolerable if you want Android 2.2 on the EVO any time soon. I have fantastic integration now with e-mail, the sense overlay helps to get around the sad integration with Exchange that Android versions prior to 2.2 have. Android 2.2 will be better than previous versions - almost as good as what WM has had for years. Of course WM is bad for battery conservation but Android is even worse!

WM is much more oriented for what I use my phone for than Android is. Perhaps by Android 2.4 they'll have that huge gap filled in but right now I'd rather have WM and in the near future WP7. However I'd also be very happy to get a 4G iphone on Sprint as well so I'm not stuck on MS products.

I'm sure there will be some trolls who would say but WM is soo old and I agree it is but the NEW Android still doesn't do what I need my phone to do as well as OLD WM. Again, while Android 2.3 or 2.4 or 2.5 may be all that and a bag o' chips - I want to use my phone NOW and WM does all that NOW. WP7 looks better than WM in a few ways but for my needs android doesn't really do anything I want better even with 2.2.

I see a lot of fanboy posts but I label them as fanboys for different reasons. I see a lot of fanboy posts for android - often from people who haven't even tried android but hate another product. I often see fanboys who post how android is superior even though someone else will say their iphone or WM phone does these things that they need and Android doesn't. If someone wants a different phone because it does what they want better for their business needs than Android - than yes the other phone is superior. If Android does what you want well than for your needs it is better for you but there is no need to be so small or closed minded to assume that because you don't use your phone for the same things as other peoples that all other phones suck.

I thought iphone people were fanboys when the very first iphone was being released but I've never seen so much fanboyism as those who post for Android. Maybe they are angry the iphone only is available on ATT and hate the ATT service or maybe they hate WM because it is an MS product but you never see them slamming Symbian, BB or Palm -they seem focused on iphone and WM for whatever reason.

I support end users with just about every phone OS you can think of and besides the palm pre, I don't think I've seen nearly as many phones returned by my clients as the android phones. That doesn't make android a bad OS - just not right for most business end users. I really think the iphone is a great phone but for coverage, att is pretty bad. I keep having to lend my phone to iphone users so they can make phone calls.
