    Define 'easily' - though it's prolly next to impossible ! You'd have to root your Android for starters and then ... Can you root your Android ?

    The NOKIA LUMIA 900 can be had for less than $50. on Amazon wireless, that would be your path of least resistance.
    I, personally, am anxiously awaiting the WP8 phones to be released later this year.
    informed/intelligent comments are welcome.

    peace,
    ROK

    The easiest way is to sell your android device, and buy a Lumia 710 off-contract for about $250 new (less on Ebay).

    If your android device has the exact same specs and processor as the 1st generation Windows phones, or generation 1.5, then you can try and undertake the project, though I highly doubt it will be easy. If the specs are different, then don't even bother trying.

    I suppose you could check xda, but I don't recall any development on porting WP7 over to android.

    You could always just buy Launcher7 in the Google Play Market Store and it makes your android run like WP7.

    Or sell your android and buy a Lumia 710 as suggested. Or check Craig's list. I got a refurb Dell Venue Pro 16Gb for about 169 back in January, which was a great deal.

    Personally, I would just wait til the fall when the WP8 devices drop.

    Unless it's an HTC Desire HD, no chance, and even then I'm not sure anyone at XDA has bothered.
    The word 'Pentaband' means '5 Bands', from the Greek word 'pente' meaning '5'. For a phone to be pentaband it has to support 5 bands. If the phone has AWS support, it doesn't automatically mean that it is pentaband. The reason Wind and Mobilicity users like pentaband phones is because the reverse is true. We're not the only ones who like pentaband phones though, so please stop referring to phones that work on Wind and Mobilicity as pentaband. It causes unnecessary cofusion.

    There is some video of a ZTE N880E running Windows Phone. It might be real, or it could be a hoax.
