Out of curiosity, can I install Windows Mobile on other PDA phones? I have
a Blackberry 7100 and I wanted to install Windows Mobile on it. Is that
possible?

Thanks.

Nope. Most OSs require very specific hardware configurations, and Windows
Mobile could never work on a Blackberry. Personally, I think Windows Mobile
devices offer much more than you could ever get from a 7100.

Well, I wouldn't say 'never'. A year ago I would have said you couldn't
install it on a Palm. Fact is if the Blackberry guys wanted to create a
device with WM on it, I'm sure MS wouldn't stop them...just bill them. It
would need to be done by the manufacturer though.
