Thanks for precise answer. I saw brand new Lumia 800 dirt cheap at a shop and this was first question to pop into my mind. But since Lumia is WP7 only, its a no go for me.
No wonder they are so cheap, no one is buying.
[Q] Can Anroid be installed on Nokia Lumia 800?????

You should had bought yourself a Nokia N9. Look what I did with mine yesterday... (Jelly Bean)
So your phone is using android as we speak wow awesome.

I mainly use a Galaxy Nexus now. I gave my Lumia 800 to my girlfriend because she hated her HTC Desire and I had to take her complaints all the time. She loves my 800 so I gave it to her and bought this Nokia N9. Shortly after I bought a Galaxy Nexus instead though.
The Nokia N9 is more of a "play" phone for me. It has dualboot and it runs both Nokia's MeGoo OS as well as Android Jelly Bean. Though it's not working 100% quite yet.

Well. It's more open obviously since it's Linux based. It's somewhere in between WP and Android when it comes to "openess". You can modify and tweak it a bit but not as much as Android.
The OS itself is a joy to use. Mainly because of the way you work with it. It is built upon swiping. The virtual keyboard is the best ever made. You get both haptic feedback and sound feedback both when you press and let go of the screen so it feels like typing on a real keyboard somehow.
If I have an app open and swipe from left or right side of the screen it puts the app on the multitasking list. If I swipe from the top of the screen and down it closes the app.
I have set it up with an app though so that when I swipe from left side it puts the app in multitasking list and I am taken to the appdrawer. If I swipe from the right side it takes me to the multitasking page instead. If I swipe from top it closes the app. If I swipe from bottom it places app in multitasking and I get to the page where I was prior opening the app.
It really is a joy working with it as there are no hardware or software buttons for getting back or closing stuff. It's all built upon swiping which is the most rewarding way to work of any system in my opinion.
MeGoo has the best and most true multitasking even much much better than Android. An app is never closed unless you close it yourself! You can have like 25 apps open before it starts to crumble.
Hard to explain but it really is the fastest OS to work with if you multitask a lot. It's pure joy to use.
It does not look as sleek as WP though. It is clean and nice but apps doesn't have quite that sexy look that WP has nor does it flow as well as WP. It's about as smooth as Android. I think it's a shame Nokia abandonded it before it got released. Nokia N9 came first but they made Lumia 800 out of it instead and promoted that.
Here's a little demo.

Completely off topic, but now I want to run megoo on my Motorola Photon, and give it a try over CM7

Yeah we are off-topic here. But whatever!
The Nokia N9 truly is a piece of artwork both hardware and software. I will never ever get rid of it.

Are there news about an Android/meego port for lumia 800? I've been offered mine but I can't appreciate it at all, It's just that I feel like if WP7 is a draft OS... :/

Its an awkward feeling having a masterfully constructed device bound to 1 OS. I purchase a device but i can only utilize it how the Architect wants me to. I didn't lease my phone so why am i shackled to your OS? No need to get into details but my bank wont even make an app for WP8. Why did i choose the Lumia? I thought this was a civilized world but again my hopes are thwarted.

Hi,
I read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665651 that are already fully unlocked ROMs. What do you think? Maybe now you can give Android. What do you think?

I have yet to find a disappointment with it. The screen size/definition is stunning, the battery has lasted me for 2 days on a single charge (something no previous smartphone or any of my friends smartphones has EVER done). I play emulated games through vba8, and it never lets me down.

I know this is old but... It's been done, look up android 4 Lumia, also check wp 8 forums for the 521, has LineageOS 13.0 or android 6.0.1.
I work on this with a few other devs
