While a lot of people are pretty pumped about Windows Phone 7<\/a>, there are some people who definitely are not<\/em>: everyone stuck on a now antiquated Windows Mobile 6.5 handset. Microsoft has already confirmed that if your phones running 6.5, it’s not going to be running 7<\/a> any time soon.<\/p>\n

If you can’t join’em, beat’em, right? There’s a new project in the works which aims to breath new life into old Windows Mobile 6.5 phones.. by replacing the whole OS with Android.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see in the video above, they’ve already managed to jam the OS onto an HTC TouchPro2. (Fun Fact: I’ve wanted an HTC TouchPro 2 running Android since before the TouchPro 2 officially existed. I’ll be buying one purely for hacking this onto it.) It’s not perfect<\/em> just yet, but it’s damn near it; data works, SMS works, calling works, and that glorious, glorious hardware keyboard works.<\/p>\n

They’ve also got it up and running in various forms of functionality on the HTC Diamond2 (AT&T Pure), HD, Diamond, and the original Touch Pro. Ready to get your hack on? Pocketnow<\/a> has all the download links you need to get started.<\/p>\n
