Windows Phone Unlock Tool Goes Official 118
judgecorp writes "A tool to unlock (or 'jailbreak' if you like) Windows Phone devices is now available with Microsoft's blessing. ChevronWP7 Labs was withdrawn at Microsoft's request a year ago, but is back now, allowing users to run any app on their phones for a cost of $9."

You pay the $9 to run your own apps on the phone, right. But only atmost 5 of them. Yes, there is a limit on the number of apps you are allowed to run on your very own phone. And you have to pay for that. Pathetic.

2) The $9 price tag isn't from Microsoft, it's from the guy who made the unlocker. He is selling it.

Does it? How? I thought that any Android phone has this little switch in the settings about .apks from outside the market. Oh, it does. And there's no 'PAY NOW' button! My god, how did I miss this? ...

Christ. Here's the Git repo and download instructions [android.com]. Google did ask CyanogenMod to stop distributing its Google apps (Market, etc.), but not Android itself. You can download those apps separately, and I'm sure Google could restrict those devices from using Market if they tried. Perhaps your mother should have taught you not to lie.
