[RESOLVED] Windows Mango download

[anne]

Can Windows Mango or it's other name, Win 8 mobile be downloaded from anywhere?
I can't find it if it is

[Steve R Jones]

Don't you need a smart phone to be able to use it? And or what are your plans for it if you can find it?

You can't just install a mobile OS on any old phone. If the ROM wasn't designed specifically for that phone, it won't have drivers for things like the 3G/4G Radio, Wifi, Camera, etc. If you don't like Android, then you'll have to buy a new phone.

I have samsung galaxy and it is a pile a junk

Actually the Galaxy S, is a great phone, let down of course by the gps and the poor camera and no flash.

I have it running on a custom mod, DarkysRom, and the voodoo app for the excellent sound tweaks ( it activates the audiophile class sound chip that is disabled by default) and lag fixs, or you can choose any of the dozens of different mods for it.

Personally I would wait an iteration or two with the new Windows OS, give it time to mature, just like we had to wait for android to actually become useful.

...no flash.

Here, you can light it up with this:
