Default Flash WinMo 6.x.x to EVO

Hi all,

i know is too early to say but do you guys think we would be able to override the android partition with a winmo 6.x install?

me personally i think that device is wonderful according to the specs and pictures I've seen but again i love WinMo i cant see myself without it. i ditched the TP2 from sprint waiting for a snapdragon WinMo phone but that doesn't seem to be the case now since they've announced the EVO running on Android. Android is one heck of an OS but i preferred WinMO 6.x series, not even WinP 7 Series it is cool and all that but i don't think i'm ready to drop WinMo 6.x or Windows Phone Classic just yet.

i know it is almost impossible because of CDMA drivers support.

what do you think guys ?

Do you have an HD2? If not, buy one of those instead. If you do, then apart from the 8MP camera and the extra memory, you already have the WinMo version of it.

No indication that there's going to be an HD2 that runs on Sprint in the US. I would say there's a 0% chance that anyone will put WM 6.5 on the EVO, due to hardware compatibility and (frankly) a lack of interest.

I would love winmo on my future Evo, but I agree the effort involved would be immense and for very little return.

thanks for your responses guys, all of them make sense but again this was from a personal point of view, i just can't spend $500 for a device with ancient specs and with a keyboard, when there is a HD2 with WinMo around there that cost the same but GSM counterpart not CDMA(sprint). my dilemma here is leave or not leave sprint, i love sprint Plans and services but not the phones, lol.

HD2 officially announced for T-Mo yesterday, so at the very least, that's an option. It's not on Sprint though (although T-Mo plan is on par with Sprint's).

OP, you should try Android if you haven't... once I made the move to Android, I never looked back at WinMo. No regrets.

DONATE TO ME
I am looking forward that HTC will release the EVO 4G in Win6.5.xx version very much soon. I am using TD2 and TP2 but the HD2 turns me off. One of the reason why I am not interested at all with HD2 was because the HD2 do not have front camera and support dual screen video call which I use all the time over here. And the other reason for me staying away from Android phone is because I can't hacked the Garmin Mobile XT for my AGPS needs at the moment.

This EVO4G has the optimum hardware but I really need the OS and softwares for my needs.

Does anyone knows how to install Garmin Mobile XT on this EVO4G?
Current Devices still running strong:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7
New iPad 3G




Retired,

Sony Ericsson Satio, Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 -WM 6.5
