Windows Mobile on N900
 

can we put Windows Mobile on N900??? what are the OS types that we can install in this mobile phone???

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

nope not possible because windows phone 7 is closed source. it would be nice though but sorry it wont happen :(
you can have android (google "nitdroid") but just without texts,calls and camera and u can have different versions of linux. google them for tutorials and stuff :)
also windows 95 and older versions have worked but no tutorials so far i think.
and someone managed mac os x but at like 2fps so thats kinda useless...
and also meego is (hopefully) coming soon for n900 after a long wait so we'll see what happens with that :)

It's a pity there isn't a WinMo 6.5 image for N900. I'd love to dual-boot into that. I like what N900 has to offer as a hardware unit and I'd like to be able to use that on a platform that's business-geared with a great selection of quality userland applications. Honestly, while I love my N900, if there were an offer that would combine its hardware specs with a Windows OS, I'd go for that offer. I had an SE Xperia X1i and the only thing it lacked for me hardware-wise was the absence of the IR and maybe it could use more RAM. Not that I ever needed the FM transmitter, but that was also a sweet bonus on N900.

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

Oh fm transmiter's sweet!!
Mp3s over fm rocks!

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

i've ever see winmo with n900 ,the start button which locate on left top corner.But i think maemo is much better than winmo.cmiiw.

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

+1 for winmo 6.5

I miss being able to do 90% of everything from the home screen (with SPB diary etc)

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

searched on this long time ago and recently.
there isnt such a thing.
didnt liked WinMo that much, but i'd love to run Garmin Mobile XT for WinMo 6.5 on N900.
WinMo n N900 all use ARM, but hardware drivers (where does WinMo latch to for file system, camera, etc?)
it may be possible to modify Wine (Windows emulator) for N900 to emulate WinMo but i think no developer's motivated.
the whole gnu linux environment in N900 is much better (to me at least) anyway.

Run, don't walk, to the nearest hospital emergency room. You are having a psychotic episode.

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

Puting winmo on the N900 is just wrong

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

Well I have no love for M$ and I love my N900, but fact is that hildon UI is crap and even with all the n900s customizability I haven't found any way to make it even close to how efficient winmo was at doing smartphone (not portable computer) tasks.

I'm happy to post examples if anyone indicates they care enough :D

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

Yeah hildon is a bit rubbish, also after a few days, I find that the CPU spikes upon wakeup, killing hildon-home & hildon-desktop "cures" that.

Would be great to have alternate UI's on N900/Maemo

Re: Windows Mobile on N900
 

I have never seen winmo. I'm interested in to hear what it do better than Maemo5. Maybe ideas can be then added to: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75970

How you define (separate) what is smartphone-task and what is portable-computer-task?
