And this is why we love the web, this is why we love Russia, and this is why we want to marry the web+Russia. While Microsoft has already dashed any hopes of the HTC HD2 ever getting Windows Phone 7 Series support, Russian hackers have simply taken the WP7S developer tools apart, more specifically, the emulator, and now have Windows Phone 7 Series running on the HD2 – months and months before the first device is expected to hit the shelves.
The hackers claim that pretty much everything works, from WiFi to BlueTooth to GPS, and that only the graphics driver seems to have issues – there’s noticeable lag in the user interface. The people behind it are planning to release a beta ROM to the public soon, which would mean that HD2 owners can run Windows Phone 7 Series before everyone else on a device that’s not expected to get official support at all.
Since the internet doesn’t believe stories like this without any proof, here are two videos showing it all off.
This is pretty impressive work, and shows that the HTC HD2 is fully capable of powering Microsoft’s upcoming release. Since the HD2 is supposed to become available with Android too, and by default comes with Windows Mobile 6.5, the HD2 looks like a nerd’s dream phone.
Excellent. So the malware crew get a heads up.
Blasphemy!!!
“And this is why we love the web, this is why we love Russia, and this is why we want to marry the web+Russia”
Man, I love those tongue-in-cheek intros you’re using lately… thank you
What does that even mean?
It would mean +1 Internets to the Russia
They want the ability to get away with anything online, including piracy and such, that you get in Russia, without having to live in Russia.
It’s all in the name of progress I say….
I think HD2 lacks HW scaler so it would be intresting to see how well it can deal games if at all. I hardly find it suprising that they get it working, it is WinCE6 after all underneath. It is also intresting to see if push notifications work since phones need unique ID.
I foresee Putin putting the squeeze on (internet) freedom soon, following in the footsteps of China. Especially if the West doesn’t put its foot down now in China.
Now it is easier for Russian hackers to steal credit cards numbers ;-p
… because no one in your country steals credit card numbers hey? I truly want to live in your Utopia.
Great to see excellent hacks in the Mobile front. I spent a good time using the WM 5-6.5’s for a few years and was severely dismayed. While it is a great platform for hacking, that is about all it was good for, tinkering.
This WP7 looks nice. And I am tempted to get an HTC unit to test WP7 out.
Is it just me, or does it appear a little under powered for WP7. Just appears a bit sluggish. But as long as it can receive and hold a phone call, sweet!
