Default Android on Nokia lumia 900

I have been using android phones for a while now. So when Nokia launched WP phone I thought to give it a try. I was huge Nokia fan before android became famous. As soon as I got this lumia I love how it feels in my hand. The look is killer and screen is better then Samsung samoled.

But I think windows phones lacks a lot. I miss android features again and again.
so I am the only who wish to see android on Nokia lumia phone. May be Nokia do it themselves or some dev do it.

What you guys think?

If you like the build and the look of the 900 just get the n9. it has better build, better camera software and a higher resolution screen and more ram. its already running ICS along with meego

im sure nokia wouldnt waste their time on porting it considering their contract with microsoft and what not. they are too busy fixing bugs on the 900 lmao

I bought a Lumia 900 to stay away from Android... I guess to have another OS as a boot choice is good.
Behold II -> myTouch 3G Slide -> Galaxy S Vibrant -> G2X-> Galaxy S2 -> iPhone 4S -> Lumia 900 -> Lumia 920

I am not trolling and I don't love/hate any OS. I used Symbian then iPhone before I started using Android. I wanted to see what Nokia does with this new platform. As I said, I love the hardware, but everyone have to agree Android gives you way more features and usability out of the box them WP7. Forget about the apps.

Sorry If I sound like a troll. I just wanted to know that other people who bought this phone will stick to it or want to go back to Android/iOS.

You want to put ICS on a single core phone with low res? Why not just buy a phone built to current Android HW specs?

i agree with the guy above me. and 512mb of RAM on android is a horrible nightmare.
like i said in my post above; get the n9. it has better hardware and looks better with the curved glass. its not too much smaller either

if i had $400 to put into it i would asap. especially over the lumia 900. not even because of the android port, but because meego looks great imo
