Interesting, but I'm positive instead of upgrading the diamond, most people will just buy the new HTC (Probably a Touch) with WM7.

WM7 will be released at the beginning of 2009. Porbably announced earlier.
It is very likely that the Touch Diamond can run wm7 without problems. But nobody can tell you now...

Since HTC is planning for a WM7 device, they will not offer WM7 as a free upgrade for the TouchDiamond. If enough people buy the touch diamond they might offer this update for some money. Else we have to hope for some good "cooking" from the developers here in the forum...

very likely based on what?
If it's as much of an overhaul as Microsoft are saying it will be, then I'd say not supported. Will probably need a better touch screen.

withouth support for hardware features like
accelorometer and multitouch it would prob
be a kinda poor experience if it does

Good question ;)

That's why I said: Very likely...

You might as well ask: What might WM7 change that makes it very unlikely that the Touch Diamond will not be albe to run it...

I asked HTC about the Diamond2 WM7 upgrade and they answered this:

"At the moment windows mobile 7 is unknown at this time. I can not give you the exact date when it will release. But I know that there will be a new upgrade will be available soon."

So is this good or bad? :)

Windows Mobile 7 has high requirements... check out http://www.intomobile.com/2009/05/12/microsoft-pink-specs-windows-mobile-7-requirements-leak.html. The Diamond's 192MB ROM isn't even close to the 512MB required. Although, when it comes out, I have a feeling that our hackers will debloat it and make it run. :)

But it won't be official, that's for sure.

the second video is an APP runs on WM6.5 it's name is THE HOST and it is in 1.5 version now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685928

As mentioned earlier the requirements are not close enough to W7p, and if you have run xdandroid, the performance is okay but not there yet.

I have seen W7p theme for android, I have tried it and it seems pretty cool

That first video looks amazing. Although I didn't expect WP7 to run sooo slowly.

I think we might be able to install a windows 7 rom on Diamond altough it might not function properly because WM7 needs a lot more RAM and processing speed compared to WM6.1 and 6.5.

The real question is, why would you want to run such crippled software on such nice hardware? Windows Mobile 7 is five huge steps back from real Windows Mobile.

I will work like crap.

A HTC Diamond barely manages to run a W6.5...It does run , but very slow and annoying.
Would`nt recommend going W7 on a Diamond , unless you have nerves of steel ^^

I might also add that it has not been done. Probably won't either, because nobody wants to downgrade their handheld.

Nope. Nobody bothered to port it over because it would be completely pointless. Whats in it for you to downgrade anyway?
