they are only talking about wp7 series development and apps no phones will be mentioned
Did you see Engaged Show with Aron Woodman form Microsoft? If you don't, watch it! Host ask "It will be upgrade for HD2?" Answer:"More information at MIX10".
i think its highly likely that windows 7 makes it to hd2. for a couple of reason if not then why would he say to wait for mix10, second adobe would know what what where and why they are working flash 10 for. i mean they are specific with the devices getting adobe 10 not android 2.1 but nexus. last but not least window7 is late to the show if a plateform has the juice to run it. i think they will best served to get it on as many phones as possible asap. as the apps will give them money this time not the os. more phone with the os potentially more apps to be sold
I heard that WinMo 7 wasn't coming to the HD2 because it did not qualify. The stated reason was that MS has changed the HW requirements for WinMo 7 in that any WinMo 7 phone can only have 3 buttons at the bottom. The HD2 has every other requirement except that; it has 5 buttons at the bottom. Now, I have an HD2 and want WinMo 7 on it. but that was the word I saw recently. I hope the article was wrong. I will find the link and post it (if that is proper.)

Actually I'd say it's more related to the fact Windows Phone 7 min requirements requires 8GB of internal flash memory, since Apps wont be installable to the SD card.

That was the most 'legit' statement of the HD2 getting 7 Series till a few weeks ago...
BUT, It went like this:
-FIRST, they said the 1st Windows Mobile device to get flash 10.1 will be the HTC HD2.
-THEN, they said that they are not developing Flash 10.1 for Windows Mobile 6.5 anymore, because it is missing some 'important stuff' blabla. They are going to focus on getting flash on 7 Series.
AKA, the HTC HD2 is not getting 7 Series, nor Flash 10.1. Which again, was working quite well in that video Adobe showed us a few days before MWC.
sad to say but it think this phone has just died............. smh oh well i get my nexus one 2morrow.......

This was posted weeks ago.
And, for the record, only an idiot would interpret the original posts on the Adobe forum in this way, and only a gullible, unthinking person would repost the story without checking the original forum posts that were the source of the "story".
What happened was that, back in January, Adobe was still planning to release FlashPlayer 10.1 for WM6.x. They announced this, and mentioned that the HD2 would be the first WM6 phone to run it. By February, there had been a major change of plans, and the release of FlashPlayer for WM6.x had been cancelled, thus invalidating the January announcement entirely. Adobe therefore posted a new announcement saying that they had cancelled the WM6.x project, but that they intended to develop FlashPlayer for WP7S.
That's all.

It´s still just a rumor. On the other hand, a Microsoft spokesperson most recently announced another delay of Windows Mobile until end of 2010.

I would say there is virtually no chance at all that there will ever be an official HTC upgrade to WM7. There will almost certainly be an unofficial one created by some of the ROM "chefs" here at XDA.
The rumor has been that HD2 owners will be some of the first to get WM7 from HTC...
The most important question for me to buy a HD2, is whether I can upgrade to WM7, because I do not want to be spending so much money, for 3 months from now, have the HD2 obsolete with WM6.5.
If only HD2 had good hopes for the WM7, what do you think?

Windows 7 does not run on ARM processors.
I emailed HTC directly last week regarding this, and here's the response I got:-
"Thank you for your enquiry about HD2 What we do it ROM Upgrades from our website, however 6.5 windows mobile has only been out 2 months and windows mobile 7 hasn't even been developed. This wont be out until next november at the earliest. But when it is available it will be a free download"

I just want to know if Windows 7 will let me do less soft reset in the future, because HTC has a bad idea to hide the reset point in the cache back of battery. I need to do soft reset once or twice a day.

Do you want windows 7 to come with an extra hardware button, or are you looking for a software solution? If you're happy with a software solution, there's one in the themes & applications area, in the stickied threads.
I'm thinking we'll find out by March 2010, when MIX is on. This is when MS have said they'll finally talk about WM7. Until then, it's all just speculation.
will the windows phone 7 be released for HD2? when?
Highly doubtful HTC will update HD2 to WinPhone 7 cause they are releasing HD3/HD7 but i hope there will be xda release i think it's highly probable, just need to wait few months.
so how can I see WP7 on youtube with HD2... someone must had upgraded already or am I wrong?

No, someone has successfully managed to get a hacked version running on an HD2, this has not been stable enough as yet for him to release it on xda. There will NOT be an official upgrade from htc. The button configuration of the HD2 does not meet Microsoft's strict requirements and so htc have released the HD7 instead.
Officially, the HD2 is stuck with WinMo 6.5.
Unofficially, the genius' here on xda will have it running in a month or two, maybe even less

HD2 tweak from Omarket comes with a soft reset button i think.
Talking of buttons
For those keen to get WP7 going on their HD2; for me I'm not sure yet.
Do you know there's no phone button on WP7? I really miss that on my WP7 device (vs my HD2) - it takes a button press, a tap, and then another tap to get the phone keypad showing. Of course if some clever soul can get WP7 going on an HD2 AND map the phone button it may just be wonderful.
There's also a big reliance on buttons in WP7 - certainly the back button. I might be missing something but you can't just seem to swipe your finger across the screen to go back. I don't want to have to use the back button all the time. What's the point of having a touch screen phone if you have to always use the button. I never use it on my hd2 as the applications (or task manager) always provide a way on screen. And of course no (general) multi-tasking across apps (and therefore no quick task manager/switcher) means you're using that button a lot.
And text messaging without Swype? (not on WP7 as far as I know) It feels so two years ago!
i assume we can end all speculations now as to whether HD2 will receive Windows Mobile 7 Upgrade. here are the sources

Quote "We just got an interesting news tip pointing to the HTC Twitter account from Russia. The tweet mentions that the only HTC device currently on the market to receive a Windows Mobile 7 upgrade will be the HD2. And we've suspected this for a while, considering that the HD2 meets Microsoft's hardware requirements for Windows Mobile 7. Here's what they said:
for Diamond 2 firmware is not planned. Of the existing communicators on the market, only the HD2 firmware to get WM7."

Usefull or not ?
Windows mobile 7 will be released at the end of 2010. If i'm not wrong. So i guess most of HD2 users will be looking onto a brand sexiest new HTC device.
!
I think the HD2 is powerful enough and sexy enough to be on the top even at the end of 2010.
Also, with the talented chefs in this site we will see the WM7 on our device long before it is officially released. To me thats a win win deal

From what i see, the only limitation HD2 will face is the built in storage. most of us are already aware of the fact that the internal storage, though quoted 512MB from the specs, only 150MB+ is available to the end user, whereas WM7 specs require at least 1GB. the rest of the components are already ahead of time. the best android device in 2010 is only on par in terms of specs with HD2.

With this particular spec issue, should we expect that memory limitation to cause problems for the ROM chefs attempting to port WM7 to the HD2 in 2010?

Awesome news, I am glad I didn't buy N900.
Probably not as we can assume that the HD2 will also be on the list of test (and demo) devices HTC will be distributing to their techs and testers.
Same goes for Microsoft, they'll need some kind of hardware to test their builds on. Sure they'll have test devices of the unreleased kind also but you can't really use those in public
my point being, if the winmob 7 beta's start leaking, I expect them to be coming with full support for our HD2's since the beta will most likely be ripped off of one to start with.

Heh, you know what I meant.
Maybe I am wrong but want is the point of having a new windows mobile 7 on our phone if we are just going to be use the excellent HTC Sense UI? Its like when titanium came out, the majority of chose to use Sense/TouchFlo as it was better in terms of eye candy and function. Windows mobile 7 will I guess have new menus and finger friendliness just like 6.5.3 but Sense will still cover up the majorty of Windows mobile 7 UI/OS. Do you get what I am trying to say here? I doubt it would be so amazing for me to disable Sense. I love Sense.

Yes, but I was just intrigued to see the new OS running fine even though it lacks some major hardware as per Microsoft.
However on the off chance that it is running something live it does mean there is some form of test rom out there....somewhere. . . . . but i doubt it

Except that there are 99% chances the phone is actually off and dead or displaying a plain blue screen to allow image blending in postprocessing
i dont think that the pictures you see on the screen are real. usaly such things are made in post production. its much to complicated to film this situations in real life. so i think its no indicator for w7 ore not on hd2 anyhow.
regards mad
As much as I hate to up a not-so-useful thread
The idea is old... there has been a link posted somewhere here on the hd2 forums to a MS stage or something (and that was at least a month ago), where an infomercial for WM7 was done with a girl holding to her ear what definitely looked like an hd2, or at least a photoshopped one.
That doesn't bring you anywhere, since we have had different news elsewhere from an "official" source (check the other thread reagrding it) saying othrwise that WM7 will not be for hd2.
Anyhow, if you are so desperate to install a MS iphoneos wannabe on your already perfectly working WM6.5 hd2, I think there will be for sure a cooked rom with WM7 sooner or later. Afterall they are selling on aftermarket qtek 2020 alpines with winmo 6.5 on them....
It's Bill Gates, pissing in our collective ear: "Nyah, nyah; that'll teach you fellas to have two extra buttons".
to me is not looking like HD2 but if it's indeed HD2 for sure will be a rom for it here

Why are you so behind with the times? This has been discussed to death already, and there are dedicated forums for this.
You just have to search first.
The first WM7 ROM has been hacked, and our geniusses from XDA are already developing tools for cooking. I expect the first WM7 ROM for HD2 won't be too long .

I agree. I reckon they're trying to aim for the iPhone market, not the current WM market. The current WM market will just be left to fend for itself on WM6.5 until we all go over to Android.
Don't worry, with people working on the leaked ROM, it'll be about soon enough.
You just wont see it being ported over in any official capacity by HTC or MS.
Though as tonyblack said, why would you really want that anyway??
Now that WM7 has been released as of today - is there anyone out here that's going to try to get it to work with our beloved HD2's ???
The WM7 project was killed 2 years ago, so I doubt it was released today.

Good question i wouldnt mind trying it out but your too early i believe, i doubt we will see WP7 ports to the HD2 till maybe WP7 phones are released its not as simple as throwing on a rom i believe microsoft built from scratch with WP7 and so the ports to the HD2 if they happen will probably be much like the android builds currently test and fix type of things

It will be made when its made... no reason to beg. Don't get your hopes up about wp7 on hd2 ... it may not even be able to use market or any of its cloud support if it does got ported, as the devs who have been working on it said that wp7 devices have a unique code that lets Microsoft's servers know its an authentic device. We may not be able to get around that on a wp7 port.
I don't see the big deal about wp7 anyways... I'd rather use winmo and android myself.
