HTC HD2 and Windows Phone 8

[AndWhale]

lumia 900 can't up to WP8, so i think our HD2 can't too ^^

what makes you think wp8 won't work on lumia 900? it's just a marketing issue.

 

[maykel.]

the porting of 7.8 has been very simple for devs, i think that we have serious possibilities to see WP8 on hd2!

Because 7.8 is not really a big deal. Just look at it, new homescreen and what? Nothing. WPH8 have diffrent kernel, it only looks the same.
I don't think wp8 ever come out, the idea will die like MAGLDR 2.01. Endless hope for something that never comes.

i've sold my HD2 WM 6.5 today and i'm kind of sad. but WP7.8 wont offer what i want and a stable and 100% working WP8 will be very very unlikely. i doubt the HD2 Snapdragon is even compatible with the new x86 based kernel of WP8.

according to htc and microsoft, hd2 would not be able to run wp7, is that true ?

LOL

yes we run WP7 but HD2 not officially supported with WP7 because have hardware buttons and two buttons are redundant (and few more hardware incompatibility with WP7 standard)...

you cant expect WP8 to go to 3,5 year old device... our developers still not get all drivers to HD2 work flawlessly... HD2 hardware is to low for WP8... when go out, we get full 7.8 with some WP8 functions (but not all)...

No chances to get WP8

We have no chances to get WP8 on HD2. At least because:
1. It uses UEFI
2. It uses different architecture (similar to Windows 8) and drivers
It seems it is different OS (anyway for end-users it is very similar to WP7), so there is almost no hope, that it will ever ported on our devices.
Anyway I hope that devs will bring us some updates (at least a complete WP7.8 and new android builds)...

I have no idea one way or the other on this; what I do know is, someone will try. It might not be perfect, it might have missing hardware compatibility but someone will take a crack at getting the HD2...maybe the HTC Titan as close to a WP8 experience...I just want Skype to run in background like it does on Android and Microsoft to pull their collective heads out their asses and stop hanging us Windows Mobile..Phone users out to dry with every upgrade of their mobile OS.

XDA-Developers community and HD2: A formidable team!
I have learned never to underestimate what this awesome combination can conceive.

Well, if the rumors are true, HTC could will release the HTC Rio, a WP8 device witch same specifications that HTC HD2. In this case, HD2 can update to Windows Phone 8 witch the help of developers.

Yes. HTC Windows Phone 8S (HTC Rio) and HTC Windows Phone 8X (HTC Accord) is coming to At&t. I don't know when.
HTC Rio is the lower-end version of HTC Accord.

I think there's already a Windows Phone 7.8 ROM.

Oh the Photo is showing a briked Display.
Yes indeed, i'll hoping that cotulla ist workin on an WM8 Port. I think, nativcode support lets run oure HD2 faster - so that our single-core Handy will working so fast as with wp7.
BUT we musst waiting - i hate that!

 

[lihkin]

Not really much, but still very impressive for device that was not even remotely planned for WP8. Great job!
