I don't own a HTC HD2 but the porting scene is quite admirable. Can't wait to see how it goes.

Will be interesting to see MeeGo running on snapdragon and on that big screen, but other than that i doubt it will be actually usable.

Damn, I just found out that the HD2 got a fully functioning Android port before us. That just makes me sad. I thought Windows being closed source, getting drivers for GSM/GPS etc working would not be easy, but they seems to have done it before us. Come-on Nitdroid Team, surprise us!

The biggest problem will continue to be graphics drivers. If they get over that hurdle I'll be impressed.

Personally, I would prefer to see meego on C7 or N8. I do not understand why no one is trying to do it. May be nokia will do it by it self later.

Who needs android now? We can install games from webos now and we have a lot of software ported from desktop linux. I don't even see a need to upgrade to MeeGo now. Maybe only for flash 10 and only if it's going to use hardware acceleration. And we can probably just copy paste flash ".so" file from Meego into maemo and problem solved when it's gonna be available.

As cool as NITDroid is, I find myself caring a little bit less as the weeks pass and my love affair with Maemo becomes more passionate.

FWIW, here is MeeGo running on the Nexus One:

A colleague of mine had the HD2 dual-booting with Android (don't know if it was 2.1 or 2.2); claimed gps, calls etc. work like they should on the "real" thing. He mentioned fully-functioning Ubuntu also, but hadn't tried it. The HD2 looks pretty slick, and with Android on it, it smoothly transforms to an EVO4.

The more dev's from other platforms dabble into dual/multibooting, the quicker us commoners get to play with those OS's, so I say have at it XDAers, bring on the MeeGo and slap it back our way after your tweaks!

Great to see it is not only possible to downgrade the N900 (just because it's possible), but there might be a chance to upgrade the Android pre installed devices as well.
Not a bad development seeing the recurring issue in the world news of rare earth minerals export being limited by China endangering our addiction to 6 month updating mobile devices.

The 2011 unofficial Eco N9: might just be a refurbished Nexus One running MeeGo?

Indeed, which is cool. vgrade did it as well, but both have hit the nasty snag that no proper 3D drivers are available. Really, that's the only hangup (badum-tsh!) for running MeeGo fully on these devices.

I thought it was only n900 which could get multiple working oses due to open drivers but sad it doesn't seems to be true.

Re: MeeGo is being ported!
 
I bought myself used HD2 just for web browsing and playing with all the different operating systems. I wasn't really impressed about Android. Port works okay, but I guess I just don't like Android that much. Market is a mess with 98372509873 useless apps. Windows Mobile 6.5 is barely usable with Opera and Sense. Hope they will get WinPhone7 to work.

If there was a new Maemo 5 tablet with bit upgraded hardware and Flash 10 etc, I think I'd buy it instead.

E: By the way, how does N810 survive in modern internet? Would it still be a good investment?
