While most of us are CDMA users here, this is still for a good cause. As you probably know, XDA has been working on porting the Windows Phone 7 ROM to the HTC HD2. Da_G has done most of the work on this, but he needs a few things before he can get any further. As most developers know, its difficult to work on something without actually having a device to test it on. So, XDA has started a donations thread for this to try to get Da_G a HD2 and a Trace 32 tool so he can find the JTAG. These are estimated to be about $1400. As of now, the donations total about $630. This is no guarantee that he’ll be able to get a fully working port, but he can’t get any further without these tools.
For those of you who don’t know who Da_G is, he has a good reputation at XDA and is a moderator there. I’ve worked with him back in my Touch Pro days and I can vouch that he’s a good guy. I know he will try his hardest and won’t give up. He’s also the one that has given the GSM community most of their WM6.5 files.
The donation thread can be found here.
His donation link is here.
If you donate, please reply in the donation thread at XDA with the amount and your transaction ID.

I hope the HD2 Community is donating considering he’s doing this for them. There should be many of them because t-mobile sold out of the HD2 in a few days
@itster –
You’d think many are donating and many are…just for the tmobile crowd half of the users are unaware of things and say gimme gimme gimme without helping a bit in return. Then you have some users who think its socialist to donate to a project to better a community and finally you have morons that say they want to see results and working before they donate.
The problem with each sphere of thought is that none of that can really happen without community contribution. I will link my thread in the ppcgeeks hd2 forum to this news item, but I’ve already given my donation and if I had another paycheck I’d give another donation. It looks bleak so far but this is better than no.
But in 8 hours almost 700 dollars is a feat

Will this ever be possible to be ported to the touch pro or Evo, even though its android os. Just like haret for wm7 or even wm6 would be nice!
Touch Pro…def. not….The touch pro doesn’t have good enough hardware to support WP7.
The EVO…I doubt anybody will bother trying, at least for a while after the phone came out.
Why would anyone want to downgrade the Evo’s OS
Lol!!!
14 hours was all it took

@gutrrob – I agree. As a past WinMo user and a current Android user, I have to say that I personally like Android MUCH better and I can’t see myself ever going back to WinMo.
And I’m really not impressed, a little disappointed actually, with Windows Phone 7 (or whatever they’re calling it this week).
@gutrrob –
because there are people with enough intelligence to know that Google will use all your contacts and their information and sell them to every tom dick and harry for top dollar. that includes junk mail to their addresses and home.
that’s what google does and that how they made 24 billion last year.
sell personal information for advertisig dollar… oh and good luck with the apps

read some information on what google accidentally does.. imagine “we accidentally got into the unsecure wifi networks and got all personal information including passwords on the network”
how the f**k do you accidentally write software like that??? it’s one thing to find an unsecure network, another to collect complete information on all the computers on it.
oh by the way, google collects more than that when you use android.
I love the hardware for the EVO (I’m on Sprint -can’t get the HD2). I’m not a huge fan of Android – I support a few people who have android phones and they hate them more than I do. Android shows potential but right now I’d rate it equal to WM5.0 for my business needs. I’m sure there are a lot of fanboys who prefer Android over WM but right now I need a phone that is great for MS Exchange integration including searching the entire mailbox (not just recent e-mails) for specific items, good ability to open and edit MS Office docs, good functionality for voice dialing by Bluetooth.
Android 2.2 will have some functionality that Android 2.1 doesn’t but then you’d still have to wait for the sense on top of android 2.2 to make it a phone I’d want to use. WM 6.5.5 does everything I need NOW and WP7 looks perfect for my business needs.
I doubt sprint will have an HD3/mondorian or anything truly comparable in screen size, thinness, processing power for at least a year as they tend to back all the things I don’t want such as large brick phones, cheap phones like the palm etc. but not carry phones I would like such as the iphone, imagio etc.
