Good idea but i like the form of lumia and it hardware

That will never happen and a similar thread has already been posted. The Lumias have never been unlocked sim wise, much less running a different OS. You also have to make a custom version of Android that would support all the hardware differences in the Lumia. MS is not going to just lay down and let people remove their OS and put another one on the phones that the have endorsed.
It's all about encrypted bootloaders and security Microsoft spend millions of keeping their handsets secure.

Wondering if MS said anything about their first gen of wp7 are guaranteed to get mango update? I dont recall that upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 was rolled out to all of their past devices. To give MS justice though, the update took a lot of time and there could be devices more than 1 years old.
Another thing, how come i notice in singapore, mozart is less cheaper compared to trophy.. Whats the upside of throphy compared to mozart?
every windows phoine 7 wil get mango
Trophy is a cheaper phone.
My wife has one, and I a Mozart - the only real difference is the camera and single mold case.
Otherwise, the Mozart is a little smaller - but is much more expensive in Australia (60% more or so).
I kinda like the trophy though..

Yes, in MIX11 they have stated that. Some hardware options embedded in the new hardware chassis won't be available in the 1 GEN of WP7 like gyroscope, but MS also stated they will develop some kind of emulator for this to the current devices. It wont be as good as the hardware ones, but it will work.
All current devices will get Mando for sure.

That's good to hear - i followed the MIX11 updates specifically looking for this information and didn't hear them say it - have you got a link?
i know they said about the gyro but i didn't hear anything where they specifically said that all current devices would DEFINATELY be getting mango.

in hong kong windows 7 phones are droping prices like mad, it's because there are no chinese language for the main menu, and the price for the mozart 7, some shops are selling them more than the HD7.
I don't have any link right now, but its "common sense" that all current devices will have the updates, MS stated that even before they launched WP7...

i know it's 'common sense' - but that doesn't mean anything
Because they've bumped the release number up to 7.5 - this is technically NOT an update but a new version - historically for MS this means no upgrades and until i see or hear one of them say that "current devices will get this as an update" i'm not going to hold my breath.
The OP was looking for someone with DEFINITE PROOF - not just speculating.
at which point do we STOP expecting updates? wp8? WP8.5? wp9? wp10?
In Thailand, the price drop from over 630 USD to 230 USD within 3 months.
WTF HCT marketing.
Even the price are low but no one want to buy its, cuz they don't guarantee mango for this device.
What do you think?
I don't have an official link, i have read on lots of websites that the current devices will have Mango update, and i support this.
On MIX11, they even stated that since hardware gyroscope probably isn't available on current devices, the Mango update will have an emulation mode for these devices.
Also, several hardware specs were added or improved, but not removed.
Microsoft is in this for the long run and they wan't the OS to be successful. I'm sure they will provide future updates to current devices as long as it will be a good experience on current devices. Updates for all devices was also a big spec announced for WP and even if this could be a different version in number, i don't think that would change anything, this is not computers and Windows usually have a minimum 2 year between major versions.
Although this is considered "the next major version of Windows Phone" it is also being treated like an update, and traditionally MS releases the updates for free.
I'm not sure on Windows 8 thought, but i believe that will come at the end of 2012
EDIT: So now that Mango was officially presented by Microsoft and announced as free to all current devices and being available on fall, do you believe me?
I am waiting for my htc hd2 to get mango, so far DFT NODO rom is working perfect.
Every wp7 phone
It is said that "Every existing WP7 phone in the market will get the Mango Update" and the update is in this coming Fall.
MS is now making WP7 just like iPhone iOS where every WP7 phones will get the update just like how NoDo Updates is......for every WP7 phone.
i told you lot before. jsut listen and stop doubting. This is not andoroid (howver not saying android is bad, as its not as a previous user). But I have a feeling mango and the update after that and possible the one after that will be compatiable, until they focus on dual core phones and optimizing them. As whats the point of have a dual core phone if the software only uses on core

Hello! Just got myself a new HTC Titan! This is probably the best phone ever, and I love it! Only thing I need now, is for it too be dev unlocked.. Do anyone have a working method for it? And how come there's no forum for HTC Titan yet?
Cheers

If you Need a DEV unlock, thats no Problem but I guess you mean a hackunlock, which isnt possible for free with new devices. Sorry for that

I suppose you might have to flash a custom pre-unlocked ROM specifically for the Titan, so hopefully this will show up soon.
Certainly it's not likely to be possible to dev-unlock a brand new phone (that comes with Mango preinstalled) without having to do a hard reset or flash a new ROM.
Um, WTF? It's totally possible... you just need an actual developer account. $100 from MS unless you're a student, in which case it's free from DreamSpark.
There will be an official dev-unlock available for a nominal fee (much less than the marketplace developer account) from ChevronWP7 Labs at some point, but it isn't available yet.
noway....i think
same to my dvp

Donate a Radar to the guys @ the HTC HD2 forum n ask the devs to port some bootloader stuff (MAGLDR/CLK).. Should be possible but will take ages n will be tough, cuz there are no proprietary libs since ur phone came with WP7...

Here in the US we have something called CHOICE. He CHOSE to buy the phone with Windows Phone on it. He CHOSE to buy something other than what he wanted.
If you're so sold on your Velocity, go find a forum for it - stop trolling other forums to give them crap about a CHOICE they made!

The Velocity is NOT a Radar
I like the smaller style , and coloring on the Radar as a pocket phone. I would also be interested in having one with Android on it, or finding the android replica, If there is one. I Looked up the Velocity after seeing that guys post saying it was the same phone, but what i found is not even close. I am still very interested in the Radar as something to play around with, look forward to watching this develop. If anything cool happens to the Radar it will happen here, You guys are the best at what you do! Thank you for making phones so much fun going all the way back to my poor crippled Wing.

Lets not kid ourselves on the 7.8 update folks, as its not going to offer anything more than resizing the tiles.
Now that we have been abandoned, we should demand that HTC/microsoft release the source and unlock the bootloaders so we can flash an OS of our choosing.
I believe that ICS would run smoothly on our radars. If it could be done with HD2, it can be done with the radar.
What do you folks think?
Does ics run smoothly on hd2?

From what I get on their site, they have several ics roms that are working well. Having a choice is always nice.

Well, we already have a EOL device at the 6 month Mark, give or take. Microsoft said they didn't want fragmentation like android, but here it comes already. My radar is put back in the box and I'm back to android for functionality. My radar is the LAST WP product I will buy. Look at the poor bastards who jumped on the Lumia 900 just a couple months ago. I'm sorry but Microsoft had to know that all these new devices wouldn't run WP8, but they decided to snow ball their consumers instead of being open and honest.
Now Nokia has all these phones they built that I'm sure people won't buy now with the info just released. Nokia is already hanging by a thread.
End of rant....
My time is now done in Windows phone forums. Good luck guys.

@awrnsmn, I totally agree with you. I'm seriously considering selling it. Its shame thought, I love the hardware, and the battery is the best I've seen yet in a smartphone. And the dedicated camera button is superb. But, in the end, we all want functionality so I'm likely gonna list this on ebay.
I'm considering the HTC amaze but I've read mixed things on battery. I'm also looking into the ATrix 2.
android on htc radar
I guess we have to wait and see if there is anybody clever enough to get ics running on a radar. I guess i will give it a try when its there. Not because i need it, but because it can
I know I said my time was done here but.....well anyway. What bothers me the most about all of this is Microsoft was really on to something with WP, it could of been a fantastic os to rival the big 2, but with the decisions their making they're killing already......sad because I USED to like where they were going with it.
Sent from my AOKP'ed Samsung GS2 with Eugene's kernel
IMHO, after my contact is up I will be switching over to Android. *The next Nexus preferably* unless MS could come with something that will make me want to get WP8. Jelly Bean and Operation Butter literally kill my love for WP7.5. :crying:
