What about Windows Vista, on a mobile phone?

    Found out that Sharp is going to release a phone (or a smartphone). Whats odd about it? OS is not going to be Windows Mobile, itt's going to be Windows Vista. Here are some specs, images and price. Phone is not on the market bu available for preorder i guess, for $1,500+

    I've always heard it's not a good idea to run vista with 1GB of RAM, wonder why this is different.

    LOL what a bad idea. Your phone would be really slow and over complicated. Also the price is a bit steep.

    Yeah, but i think it will be little faster if we will consider the fact that you dont really need to waste much of video memory, display is small, this is a big factor, anyways, while i dont want this phone due to price, i would like to touch it and what it looks like :)

    If you think Microsoft is gong to bundle the same Vista on the phone, you're all dumb.
    Did you know the iPhone runs on OS X. It is a scaled down version.
    Same with this phone.

    Wow you are so genius,
    OS X is a platform for operating system, latest ipod are also base on OSX, so what? It's not going to be scaled down that much to notice, ofcourse it will have another hardware configuration, but the operating system is still Windows Vista.

    If you are talking about handheld mobile device then vista can't be loaded. vista does not support network functionaly expected by device network and transmission

    I think it will be available as a "transform" of Windows Mobile in the future.

    Aye, when smartphones have quad core processors and 4gigs of RAM, then Vista might possibly be an option.
    Until then - imagine being stuck behind a tractor, with no chance to overtake, for 100 miles. Then you'll understand

    If its on a mobile phone 1GB is more than enough to run Vista. On a computer no.
