It´s no reason not to bring android to a windows phone just because YOU don´t want that.

I think Android will run very soon on the lumia the only problem is the acces to bootloader. And that is not just a problem for android, it´s a problem to unlock WP7 too, a lot of people are working to break that.

I bought the lumia 800 not because i liked WP7, i bought it because it looks awesome, there is no android device that can beat this design.
And because the lumia is very cheap (Why? I think you know :confused: )
I hate WP7 because everything is closed! (no bluetooth, i can´t send my music via mail, ... and 1000 other reasons)

I´m happy to see the lumia 800 in China because i hope that will speed up the guys at DFT

Android is not perfect but i like it! I want to customize my phone and i know a lot of guys who like that too. There are reasons why a lot of people buy Android Phones.

So stop telling that you don´t want Android that´s no reason for not bringing that to WP7
but It´s a reason, that a lot of guys want it.

look at the Poll Results:
yes - would be nice ---32 + Would be freaking awesome !! ---24 = 56 :D
vs.
no - WP7 FTW ---43 = 43 :mad:

I am not alone :p

As much as I have no interest in experiencing Android on my Lumia, I completely agree with you. The Lumia 800 design is second to none and ANY operating system would be honored to work inside that sexy chassis.

Have you been following the bootloader thread in the dev forum? It may be a possibility for some.

Android on a phone is bad, tablets it runs well, but on phones WP7 hands down beats android.

And iOS is just old hat same old system just doesn't flow any more.

As I can see the 50,000+ contest pitting WP7 against all others and WP7 winning 99.8% of the time of proves a hell of a lot!!

Plus lumia's get 5* star ratings compared to other phone and OS's so that shows why bother with crapdroid?

Why the hell would you want freakin' Android to run on a WP like this?? You're crazy, that's clear ;)
Android only has negative sides, WP is refreshing and smooth. I don't see ANY reason why you would want Android to mess up this beatiful phone.

Okay, I'm an Android hater, that's clear, but let me point it out:
  • Android is a copy of iOS (it's just boring)
  • It lags all the way
  • You need a nuclear power plant to keep it running for 1 day
  • The user experience is not consistent on all devices (not even with the same OEM!!)
  • Updates? Yes, if you do it all yourself
  • Open? Oh, thank you for your openness Android, and the malware...

I can go on if you'd like, but I think it's clear why I don't see this as a good idea...
here's a simple one for you : I NEED A VPN CONNECTION ANY SUGGESTION ON HOW DO SO IN WP ?

If you want android, there are several other phones in the market..

I don't think it is possible to run the android environment in the lumias...
I have used iphone 4s, and also gs2..
but lumia is my personal favourite..
you wont get the premium quality of nokia lumia in any other phone in the market...
.
But there are a few features of android that I would like in my lumia 710....
such as:

1. Google Voice
2. Little more customization
3. bt file transfer completely integrated into the os
