What OS do you prefer: Android 2 or Win Phone 7
how will we know? no-one got ttheir hands on either yet?
its a completely subjective and pointless questin (IMHO)
google is the wolf in sheeps clothing. they call MS the bad guy while they own the world's info.
I'll take a windows HTC phone since this community will support it way better
Considering no one has WM7 how do you expect to get a decent tally from the poll at this point?
With that being said - IF the older windows mobile software will run on WM7, then I will stick with windows mobile simply because there are more apps avail.
WP7S looks much sexier than Android.
imagine if possible, what you chose?
The Android 2.x has multitasking (rather than The Android 1.x which has no multitasking)
In contrast, the Windows Phone 7 has no multitasking (while the older Windows Mobile/Phone has multitasking, including the oldest Pocket PC)..
And I REALLY NEED MULTITASKING, so I choose the Android
web 2.0 crap
i hate social networks...
stay on windows phone classic
hmm update:
android gets me
still hatin social networks....
currently the chances to be able to move any current htc device to wm7 are much much smaller then moving them to android 2
wm7 is not a follow up for wm6.X it's a different branch's which don't run wm6.x programs and require hardware other wm6.X devices don't have
so chances are if you really really like wm7 you need to get a new device
and hope that many developers head in that direction rather then android, iphone or nokia n900
because old pocketpc apps don't work

Windows Embedded CE 6.0 features a completely redesigned kernel, which supports over 32,768 processes, up from 32 process support of the previous versions. Each process receives 2GB of virtual address space, up from 32MB.
well, seems like the only choice we've left is android.
& wm 6.xx is terrible.
Judging from what i saw at MWC 2010 i'll personally stick
to winmo "classic", that's what they are calling WM6.X now.
WM 7 looked very lame and boring to me. Look like it's
bound to be a major setback for MS and a significant
growth in the Android arena. A change to radical.

1.6 DOES multitasking.
Anyway, Android is better than WM in many aspects..
From Touch Pro to HTC Hero. Too bad it has the same qualcomm crappy procesor, but it's faster than WM and way more handy (notification bar simply rocks).
And about WM7.. I don't like it. A total downgrade.. IMO. RIP WM
So yes, i vote for Android 2
RIP Windows Mobile... I originally got you because you were so hackable and customizable, but this new version just sounds like an iPhone clone two years too late....
Android is definitely going to be where it's at for the phone hacker community (it seems...)
i will not be surprised if someone in XDA-DEV managed to cook a rom for touch pro that will support windows mobile 7..even now,with their help,we are able to boot our touch pro with android OS..just wait and see..
Hi,
I am looking into buying an android device,running 2.1 and not with the high price of nexus one, and it seemed to me i have no choice.
So, I was wondering buying a WM device and dual booting could also be cool.
But what device is good for this job.
ie. the device developers are mostly active on it, has 3d enabled and....
thanks

raphael, diamond, topaz, rhodium are not too expensive and all have decent linux support.
Along with those mentioned above, I would include the Vogue. It was the first to have a fully functional android port, and still is better that topaz and rhodium(not sure about the diamond)
hi there people looking to buy a new device but i cant decide between a Wm or an android phone currently got a htc p3300 running shady313's Rom (cheers shady) and have always used Wm phones could some ppl shed some light on the android side of things for me pro's and cons compared to windows mobile. I am more use to windows mobile i it quite easy to go over to a different OS etc etc.
cheers Shane.
personally, i would buy an android operated phone. their apps are very good, as a phone as a whole its very satisfactory.

android for me
hi guys,
I'd like to know if it possible because I've been using my Xperia x1 for about a year and i think it's time for a change but when I checked all the available phones I got confused a little.
it seems like Windows phone 7 looks great but in a review i saw somewhere it says that it lacks some important features such as:
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
No multitasking
No copy/paste
No Flash or Silverlight support in the web browser
No DivX/XviD video support
No internet tethering support
Swapping memory card requires hard reset; cards not readable by computer
and Android has great features but IMO I think WinMo gives more freedom in the terms of using or hacking
and as a WinMo 6.5 user I find it a great OS with all the features needed and if there some feature I want that is not already offered it's available here on XDA-Dev either as a .cab or cooked in a ROM
So the Main Question: if I buy a Sonyericsson (X10 maybe) or a HTC with a 1 GHz Processor will I be able to install any OS of them as a ROM???
Thanx in advance.
The only device capable of running WP7 is the hTC Leo and it has actually working Android and some working on Ubuntu and Maemo as well.
not any other device will be capable to do so
Thanx for reply
So the HD2/Leo is able to handle all 3 OSs
but i have more questions please
how is the HD2 up to date regarding the specs? like the RAM, ROM, and processor
can there be 2 OSs in the same time and to be able to switch between them?
and does android 2.2 froyo work 100% i mean with everything working??
thanx again

I'm intreagued, what about the duplo phone looks great to you?
The basic HD2 specs are up to date on paper (RAM, ROM, processor) and even beat some newer phones but dig deep and you'll see the latest version of the chips are better. Android 2.2 is running perfectly but WP7 is still work in progress.
It's more than a year old but still the best phone EVER.

Any chance for Desire to use WP7 too?
I would be great if it is possible.
I wanna try WP7 too.
Hi All,
Myself Vadim Segal, looking for a windows mobile phone. I want a best mobile phone which is great in terms of everything. And, I want you people to suggest me which one should I go for.
Thanks in advance!
Vadim Segal
HTC HD2 then you can also run android wp7 etc etc on an awesome device. But WHY would you even want to start on a discontinued OS?
Sent from my HD2 using Board Express
This is the Windows Phone 7 forum, not Windows mobile. They aren't the same OS (although they share some code at a low level, kind of like the way Android and Red Hat Enterprise Linux share some code). Are you asking for suggestions of a WP7 device?
Buy Nokia Lumia 710 or 800

Hello Vadim Segal,
Now there are many options available for the mobile phones supporting windows.You can go with HTC, Nokia710,800,900 etc. It totally depend on the features you need and the budget you have for buying the window mobile phone

Re:
Hello Mr Vadim Segal,
As I have seen above most of the people have suggested you Nokia Lumia 800. I would also suggest you the same. I am using this handset and I think you will also like it.It has many features that most of the users today want in their mobile phone starting from with window support to every advance features like 3g, wifi, GPS etc.. and yes the good battery back up for which Nokia is famous for. Now the version is also available.
You need to be clear that Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 are 2 different OSes and Lumia 800 is Windows Phone.
