Hi All,

I have been trying to tweak with my P1i and i have found that Windows Mobile is somewhat better than
the UIQ3 in terms of the Applications, usability and the level of system apps that you can modify.

Recently i was surfing and i came across that Windows Mobile 6 (CrossBow) was leaked and i was able to get that easily. This made me curious that can we try installing Windows Mobile 6 on P1i.
I know its a very difficult task to achieve and the systems might be incompatible, but i am not sure.

I have even seen some Linux based phones and Motorola is providing the Kernel as OpenSource.
If not Windows, i am ready to work on Linux too. But its impossible to start alone.
This will give us complete control over the phone every thing would be open to us

If other Modders and SE Gurus also think that this might be interesting and willing to go for it let me know.

Thanks,
CW

i'm happy with the uiq 3 becouse i'm porting apps to it like vlc player

[compuwengo]

Wow !

You guys are ultimate...
but still we should try it...

if youre going to port windows mobile to ur fone, you might nid to convert all of the driver to work for windows mobie. i think symbian driver are different from winmob...but i can't confirm that since im new in using uiq...im a windows mobile user and i just happen to receive a p990i...as of now im comparing my HTC wizard againt my P990i... if u still want to try porting winmob to ur device, there are so many dump ROM's or build roms (firmware in symbian world) that you can download. you can check xda-developers for it. i cant say winmob is better than symbian coz one feature is better than the other is some ways...but i can assure that winmobile is faster than uiq.

or better yet if you really want windows mobile powered sony ericsson fone, u should consider Sony Ericsson X1 (XPERIA). It's running in Windows Mobile 6.1 and yes it Sony Ericsson

i´d rather see android running on the UIQ3 phones

and by the way, UIQ is NOT slow...its SE that does not update those phones hardware (still the same old 208mhz processor)

[Nick14]

my old n73 is faster then my p1i

[Tanvir]

Nokia phones are naturally fast

[ares]

That´s bs

My brother has a n73, and its NOT faster than the P1, now way

[Nick14]

mine is when it's flashed to music edition and has the latest firmware

[qep]

hey nick would you mind sharing your ported apps? although there are many products already they are not so promising as i expected... :/

[ares]

The P1 has roughly the same processor of n73, but 4 or five times more RAM...so...no contest whatsoever

[qep]

4 times more RAM?

128/4=32 RAM for n73?

[Ishan Sardar]

huh?? i didn't know that....
