We have to hand it to the folks over at xda-developers, they sure know how to hack an HTC phone. One of the latest endeavors allows HTC Vogue owners to replace their stock Windows Mobile OS with Android 1.6. The process is not for the faint of heart as Android will completely wipe out Windows Mobile. You can not dual boot and have both operating systems on your phone at the same time. Once you have sampled Android, you can revert back to Windows Mobile if you so desire. This Android 1.6 port is only available for the older HTC Vogue, not the more recent HTC Touch Pro 2. Folks that have an extra Touch Pro 2 and some programming skills can try their hand at porting Android to the Touch Pro 2. There is a $1280 bounty if you are successful.
