[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensi_:
why the hell would you want to do that lol. just by a device thats native WinMo, there are already ones out with similar hardware.... weird question for this forum seeing as we all love our android devices

Well, why the hell NOT? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamSancheZz:
What benefit does Win 7 Mob. have right now? Like why would any jump on a W7M phone upon release, except for curiousity? I use xbox live and there's no way a phone geared towards xbox live / arcade would drag me away from android unless they can prove their OS and features are obvsiously better.

Just saying!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i jumped ship from WM6/6.5 to Android OS.... i'm not crazy or stupid enough to jump back to WM7

Also, i read many Apps you used to have and run fine on WM6/6.5 will NOT WORK on WM7

so that is another BIG selling point to NOT go back to WM OS
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Wish people would stop comparing WP7 to WM - they have next to nothing in common. WP7 is gonna be a great OS for sure and I might even switch once I've tried it out(not of course until someone manages to jailbreak it).

As for the question asked by the OP: It really depends on the devs(doubt many would even consider porting WP7 to an android device), tools and compatibility.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamSancheZz:
I can see Microsoft playing the middle ground between Android and OS. OS locks you down to doing what they want you to do, and I don't see W7M being any different. I still don't get what is so attractive about linking your xbox live to a cell phone. That seems to be the only appeal for W7M and it's pretty much useless unless your that hardcore about your gamertag and arcade games :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamSancheZz:
I agree with the comparison, but there's no way W7M will be great anytime soon, especially not on their first shot. It will grow to be good, but definitely will have prove their worth. Android did it and did it well... W7M has that chance too. Only time will tell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Doubt it'll have as many apps as either of the competitors, but I'm pretty sure the stock OS is gonna be just as easy and fast to use as both Android and iOS. Gaming is also an area where I think microsoft has an upper hand.

Syncing to xbox-live is pretty useless until there's mp gaming.

This is getting a bit off topic though and should be discussed in the WP7 section of this forum. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I think it will be possible once samsung releases a device with similar specs to sgs that runs wm7 so we can steal the drivers out of it. I saw someone working on new bootloaders for sgs so that's a step. I can't see why it can't happen other then driver encryption but it will take about 9months before anything happens. Hell, porting android to some winmo phones took years (tytan 2/htc kasier )

By time they get it ported we would be onto newer generation phones so why bother too much

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodue:
sorry but this is just a stupid question!

possible? yes of course. everything is possible but some things are just VERY unlikely! how unlikely this is is difficult to say at a point in time when WP7 is not even out and we don't know the hw-configuration of the (samsung) phones running it.

the comparison to the HD2 running android is bogus because

1) the hw is very similar to other htc devices running android like nexus one/evo/desire

2) android is OPEN SOURCE (at least everything except the drivers, which could be harvested from nexus etc.) WP7 is NOT.

and last but not least: who wants the ****ty WP7 on their beautiful android powered SGS :D ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
Thing is, Android can probably do a lot more than windows Mobile 7 anyway. It would definitely be possible to get it running, but the time spent doing so (and potential bugs) heavily outweigh any benefits (none of which I can think of). It would more simply be a fun project

OK Back home now so let me explain. I like the two letter per square keyboard on the HTC and love the fact that I can copy and paste from messages in my folders. Unlike most people I struggle to type, so storing mails names etc is good for me and I can't seem to do this on the Galaxy. I am so used to Activesync at work that the really slow clunky Kies is very poor. It will not let me check things on the phone whilst syncing, and it takes forever to actually sync + requiring my attention and inputs on the pc to complete sync. Not the case with windows. All of the fine tuning available in Windows is missing with android which really surprised me. I thought the range custom options that makes personalisation so nice would be there when I got the android phone.....but no. I am used to changing my opening skin by setting up 'Today' options to show me daily appointments, weather and new email/messages alerts. Not possible as far as I can see with Android unless someone can explain to me how. I really need a functional phone that keeps my communications and appointments on show (in particular without locking the screen when I'm connected to the computer) too much handling.... Please point me in the direction to get these things sorted and I will be very happy as the phone in all other respects is great.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huxflux2003:
Android is more of a "cloud" based device than a cable-to-pc device (like WinMo). You definitely need a data connection (either GSM/WCDMA or WiFi) to take advantage of this. I use Google for everything (contacts, calendar - both outlook and google, feeds, podcasts etc) and it works very nice. Everything is always in sync and you dont need a program on the pc to do this. Just get rid of Kies, it sucks. Furthermore, there are numerous widgets that allow you to customize your "home" screens with whatever data you need.

I think that you need to try to change your "workflow" a bit. Android is a different animal and you need to adapt to it. If you don't want to do this and prefer to work with an Outlook integrated phone, then Android might not be the best choice.

As for the phone going to sleep when you are connected to the pc, there are two ways to prevent this. There is an app that keeps the phone alive depending on what applications are running and there is also a setting in Applications > Debugging > Stay alive when plugged (or something like this) that will always keep the phone alive when connected.

I hope this helps. I think you need to give it a chance. I understand your concerns, but Android is a million miles ahead of WinMo in all aspects. IMHO of course!

Is it easy ? No, Windows 7 is not open source, MS will not release code. Even if someone manage to boot it on a SGS, writing drivers for all the devices is a totally different story.

It might be possible, but most ports tend to be slightly shonky, in ways that make it less practical to use than the official firmware which came with the phone (unless they are EXACTLY the same hardware).
