Again, no video. It's easy to fake screenshots. On the other hand, why would Tom destroy his reputation?

Let's wait and see...

I think I'm going to keep my HD2 a little longer. Not that it's likely that I will prefer WP7S over WM6.5 or Android, but I'm curious to try it...

tom is a pretty reputable source, i dont think that he'd do that either.

It was also confirmed by a Mod in the HD2 ROM development thread. Lets wait and see..

easy to fake a screen shot with shadow and glare and perfect reflection...

A prominent person such as him is not a person who would let his name get dragged in the mud like that, I'm inclined to believe this is the real deal. Its alot sooner than I couldve ever hoped for, but with the lack of software available at this point anyone trying this without an IRONCLAD way of downgrading is a hopeful idiot IMO.

Still, fantastic news nonetheless.

Of course, if you display it on the phone.
Very easy, actually.

Well, Tom actually says the pictures are coming from Russian hackers, and I'm a member at the forum where this was posted initially. These guys are very reputable and have proved more than once that they have some good sources, but they could play a joke as well.

 

[C:Sharp!]

Good sources? Afaik they just hacked an HTC server.

But you're right, those guys are credible.

Too bad they couldn't make a video, though

 

[X-BLADE™]

Video is up guys

And that video doesn't look like it's that Throttle Launcher WP7 skin?

 

[domineus]

not to me...
I say bring it on though

 

[Livven]

Video seems suspicious to me as you can't see if it's really an HD2 - all you can see is a black shape. But then, these people who have done and confirmed this are indeed reputable...

 

[Hamburg]

My prayers have been answered. Granted, I figured it would just be a matter of time... just not this SHORT an amount of time!!!

Thats what im thinking, I doubt its the real deal, could be wrong though

Guys, this is tom_codon. Just have a look about XDA, I very much doubt he would do this.

As for me, I read in the (other forum) thread that you cannot go back to WM6.5 once installed, as they had to replace the bootloader to get it to work - so this is definitely out of the question for me...

video 2 for all the doubters....

If they came this far to get it on there then I'm sure that will get figured out as well.
