Same thing here. I have a N9 and was strongly considering the HTC one is sailfish can be ported to it.
Can you get Linux drivers (not android) for HTC one, for GPU, for sensors and GPS, for radio chip ? Can you have an unlocked bootloader and a way to flash a non Android image into the HTC one ? If you can answer that then it is OK, but not before.
And as I have said in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230276, you need to get Mer to run on it. So the best idea is to ask those who mod HTC one to get familiar with Mer, and see if it is possible. (Or to give me an HTC one )

Hi forum...
If I want to buy a new phone now, replacing my X10, not because I hate my X10, but because I would love to play with custom roms, then what phone should I go out and buy?
I have 2 or 3 things I would want in the phone, though.
1. good working gps reciver.
2. Fm radio.
3. Nice big screen and battery.
I have NOTHING against the X10, I only want a phone more for fun, and to play with custom roms...

i would suggest Desire HD
If you are a ROM freak HTC is the way to go.

How did you know it is great ? Have you used it ? Sure the ROM in that is great but what about other aspects of the phone ? Do you know it has a good working GPS ? Do you know it has a FM Radio as OP has asked for ? And do you know if its not going to be locked down ?
This looks promising. Teathered too...

The desire hd looks insane good. Makes the iphone4 look 5 years old.
well for sure, not a SE anymore
my nect could be an evo or the nectversion of it xD
I'm going with Captivate.
Worse camera and GPS issues but better CPU/GPU, good screen, more ram, hacked bootloader, custom roms (just not a froyo one still, but it will and at least it already has 2.1). Desire HD is nice but plain expensive still (it's new anyway).
HTC is the way to go because as i see it the HTC phones have the most customs roms available and are better supported by devs and HTC.
I had a HTC Hermes, after that a Diamond, after that a Touch HD, and all of them were supported by devs and flashed Roms every day.
I must say that were great times. I hope we can do it on our X10 sooner or later.
I would buy a Desire HD
I would go for desire HD or a gsm version of droid x.
I'd wait to see what WP7 has to offer. The UI looks unique and sleek. X10 styled WP7 will be attractive if it comes early.
HTC Desire HD will be my next phone, and i have already pre orderd it.
Honestly, if Apple allowed Widgets, I might go that route - but they don't so I'd lean to something like a Driod X.
I'm hoping I can get my hands on a desire hd for sure....if not I will definitely be going back to HTC....I do love my X10 a lot....but I hate SE now lol.
I'm currently looking at the HTC HD2 right now...I really like winmo to...I might give it a shot.

From what I know heohot is now fighting with sony and possibly jumping in the Windows Phone 7 wagon.

Sorreh but who is this Geohot?
Look on Wikipedia
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I am pretty sure even if Geohot does enter the Android Scene (Which seems extremely unlikely IMO, else he would have already), he wont concentrate his efforts on a low end model like the Wildfire.
As has been the case so far, he has always set his sights for the 'top'
Has anyone actually contacted geohotz through his website

3-4days ago, I saw that HTC announced Titan and Radar.. and both the cpu is msm8255. Moreover Radar is 1GHZ.... So I think we can port wp7 to our DHD... What do you think?

Well, the problem isn't just the chipset. There are also other hardware parts that probably aren't the same as in these devices.
And that parts are the problem because wp7 is closed source so you can't really modify drivers, kernel,... Since android is open source, the drivers can be "easily" modified or replaced by others.
But if HTC uses the exact same hardware in these devices, there is a SMALL possibility that it will be portet someday. But imo it's unlikely that it will be ported.

It would be awesome indeed. But I doubt that someone will do it.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
In my opinion, if you want to use wp7 and don't want to spend very much, you can buy a used hd2 around 100€... I am playing with this idea now, because I use two phones and wp7 looks nice and works good, but my main phone is and will be my DHD with Android because android can do more, than I would wish on a phone. It's the most amazing operating system ever...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD-T2X using XDA Premium App
the question, why? I would have answered, just because of the good feeling that our phone can do that. I would never use W7 but I would like to try to look again and tell myself that the DHD with Android platform the best choice.
Well, if there are someone who will to create a new custom bootloader, den I think multi boot on multi os is possible

[sarcasm] Wow, surprised this hasn't been asked before[/sarcasm] If you want WP7 on your phone go buy a windoze phone, it's closed source and would be a helluva a lot of effort for people to go to and why bother?.
Anyway MODS any chance you can close this thread as you have the other 100+ asking this question?
I suppose that it will be nice to have dual boot, but IMO wp7 sucks. The effort in achieving this is just not worth it.
Have wp7 on my work phone and I must say that win 6.5.x on my topaz is much better. Yes the speed and UI are better but some general things (which are very annoying in daily use) need to be polished.
Many missed calls as the wp7 can be powered off while phone is locked. So every time you put it in your pocked you must be sure that power button is face down.
i just can't honestly think why any one would want wp7 as a daily OS, maybe for a play, but why, really why?

Android is the best
ill stick to android..one of the best...
I for one would love to see WP7 dual boot with CM7 on my DHD. Even if it's just for a proof of concept. The new Mango update does give WP7 ability to run on DHD hardware. Maybe not e'thing would work but the chipset will be supported. So porting it to DHD shouldm't be that difficult.

Hi !

Thx for answer !

My previous phone was an HTC HD2 and I still think it is quite awesome.
But looking at the specs and comparing both phones, it seems the Desire HD is a better phone.
Have a look and compare for yourself:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3468&idPhone2=2957
I personally love the HD2. Although, I haven't been exposed to the Desire at all..
I like the physical buttons ten times more than the touch sensitive ones.
But, it is like impossible to find an otterbox for a US Version of the HD2, and a lot easier for a Desire
- Both small things to consider
i think i'm gonna choose the HD2, for launch Ubuntu ! ^^ crazy thing !
Thx for answer

I need to buy a low budget phone,I found this 2 at the same price but I can't decide.
The arc has a better camera but less ram,I hate Sense and sony interface so I will install miui/cm/aokp etc...
What do you suggest?
Save your money and get the HTC one (m7)

Desire HD
more RAM, very fast with a AOSP or CM ROM
In my opinion Desire HD because it have more RAM and touch hardware buttons.
Arc s updated to ICS is very laggy.
