Don't get upset about the suggestion, but maybe it'd be better to hold off the new release until you're not in this situation?

Just a suggestion...

roebeet - you've done as much for this community as anybody, if not more. No need to feel bad about taking care of your real job and, in turn, your family, for the next few weeks. We appreciate all the time you've devoted to making the G Tab a great device.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Not to mention but while your gone.... You have all of us to answer ALL the questions! We will hook you right up! In just a matter of days we will have everyone thinking TnTLite is what controls the Space Shuttle, and there car. The market will work and it will all be free, and the G Tablet will have GPS and actually know where it is!...:D

You sure you want to do this?

Have fun at your real job... This little old tablet will be fine;)

To get all the Windows Live services working on your HD2 running Windows Phone 7 all you need to do is call Microsoft and get an Activation Code.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699

They dont even ask what phone you have, although if they do I imagine you would just say HD7?

I rang them earlier to get my code and as far as I can see everything works fine.

You need to have a Windows Live Email address obviously. This method worked for me in the UK but I cant see why it wouldn't work in other countries?

Get the number to call from here :

http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/

If they say Windows Live isn't supported in your country either call and try again or just call the US/UK number over Skype.

To any one getting an Error in the Marketplace, I did this :

the last part of that thread gives an addition to make to your registry which will identify your phone as an HD7. Try doing this to your phone after getting the activation from MS, maybe the market is checking it against a list of allowable phones or something

EDIT: scratch that, looks like that registry edit just allows your PC and zune software to sync with the HD2

Is anyone else getting the run around from 1-800-Microsoft? I tried calling them twice, but both times they told me they don't support Windows Phone and that I need to contact my cell carrier.

Is there another number those of you in the US are calling to get the activation code?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Improve:
ITS ALIVE!

I just called here in the US. the # I dialed was 1(800) 642 - 7676 The 2 men I spoke to where dismissive, they immediately told me to call my carrier Tmobile or The device manufacturer HTC. I explained this is an MSphone problem. I asked him what help would they be? Im not having a hardware or service problem, im having a Microsoft Live account/services problem. They both explained that MS does not have Windows Phone 7 support yet, and again just repeated you need to contact your bla bla bla. I got frustrated and just said thanks for nothing and hung up. maybe ill call tonight and get someone whose willing to help. any other suggestions for numbers to call?

EDIT: Persistence my friends persistence. Be polite, now what your taking about and you will get your Product license activation code. Running 100% on my HD2 :)

Ok finally got an activation key, looks like 3rd time was a charm for me. The first 2 reps I talked to had no idea what I was talking about and said they don't support Windows Phone, but the 3rd guy knew immediately and got me a code within 2 minutes without problems.

I now have Windows Live logged in, can't download from the market yet but it says I can't get that info right now, so I'm guessing it just takes a little time for the Windows Live certification to go through

I called microsoft probably spent 30 minutes on the phone with them, the first 15 the guy was 'generating a code' for me then he said i will be called back (never got a call) called them back in 20 minutes got another guy who finally gave me the code.

I told him i bought the phone at Bestbuy

I told him my phone make was HTC if they ask what device by htc say HD7

Then it was just waiting for the generation of my code.

Downloading from the marketplace works great and i think i've found an android replacement!

If you get that error other people are getting verify your phone thinks it an HD7

Go to settings-->about, if it doesnt say HTC HD7 i think you may have missed a few steps.

I'm just giving you this as a warning, I got the activation code about one hour ago by calling MS customer support in US, after I activated with the code I could login with my Live ID but then I realized that the softwares I installed using XAP like HTC HUB, YouTube, Flashlight, ... were not working anymore and it gave me an error like this app has been provoked by MS please uninstall it, so don't bother getting the activation code.

You won't be able to download app from market place after activation and I personally think that they're marking us out by giving out the activation code so easilly over the phone!

EDIT : First I had to change the name of the device from LEO70 to HD7 and then activate wp7 by the code, sooooo it was my mistake and now everything just works fine including the marketplace but I had to uninstall and reinstall the provoked apps. :)

M$ are going to start wondering why they're getting so many calls for registration codes and put two and two together eventually. It's common knowledge the HD2 has WM7 now so I expect people will have to have more than pretty stories to get codes out of them within a few days.

After reading this thread I'm just glad replacing Android with WM7 holds zero interest for me.

Now, a couple of things are going on here that should convince you to never, ever try this (if Microsoft doesn't catch on like ten minutes ago and shut this thing down): first of all, you're possibly committing multiple crimes by procuring and using these PVK's, and if that doesn't bother you, then perhaps you'll be dissuaded by the fact that Microsoft can tie these keys to individual handsets (not to mention the personal info you gave up to get the rare 25-character code). In other words, not only do we not condone this sort of activity, we're actively suggesting that you stay far away from such serious fraud.
