Possible to port WM7 windows mobile to Galaxy S ?

Is there any cooked windows mobile ROM for this phone, i9000?

does anyone know if Samsung will release ROMs for Galaxy with WM7?

This doesn't make any sense. Why would on install wm on the GS? Just get an HD2 or wait for a WM7 device.

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

The problem is you are not likely to find support for anyone doing this for 2 main reasons.

1) Most people prefer Android.
2) It would be illegal, Windows Mobile has a licencing fee that was not paid for with your phone. (You see Android ports on WM phones because Android is free, it isn't allowed the other way around)

So you should not maintain any hope that it will never happen.

Samsung has other phones in the works that will support Windows mobile. They've just announced a blackberry styled windows mobile at the commincaAsia conference this year.

I highly doubt their windows mobile line will come any where close to what their Galaxy (Android) family.

Can't believe that people still wants Windows mobile, I'm currently stuck with windows mobile and i get frustrated every day. Waiting for my Galaxy S to arrive =)

Like to microsoft use the the galaxy s as a test device for wm7?
Like how they are doing with the i8910 Omnia HD.

I think it would be interesting to see how it performs with the hardware in the SGS. I do miss some of me apps on me Touch hd which is why I've kept it, tomtom for 1 and its easier to get flash support (cant wait for Froyo).
Also easier to change the system setting such as the bluetooth's minimum bitpool coz my sgs sounds rubbish in the car.

Wait for WM for SGS????

Wait for WM for SGS???? Don't hold your breath... LOL

(Running WM in SGS is like putting a "fiat punto" engine in a ferrari...)

Why would someone want something as outdated as WM? This OS is dead. WM7 is years behind Android...

I've been using WM for the last 7 years. My last WM phone was a Omnia 2 - The phone is great but I regret so much investing money in a device which OS is no longer supported by Microsoft... My only hope is Android for my WM phone.
