14 DAY TRIAL // All users who have been eagerly waiting for means to unlock their Windows Phone devices to become available, ChevronWP7 Labs is the place to go.
The unlocking website has just become available for those who would like to take advantage of it, the team behind it has announced.
For those out of the loop, we should note that the unlocking tool was meant to offer people the possibility to enjoy a more open Windows Phone platform than what Microsoft had to offer to them.
Moreover, it was meant to help those interested in building applications for the OS to do so without having to sign-up for a developer account at Microsoft, which will cost them $100 a year.
“We believe Windows Phone development should be accessible to anyone,” the team notes.
However, the service is not offered for free. Those who would like to take advantage of it will have to pay a small fee for that.
“We are providing a Windows Phone developer unlocking service to developers across all skill levels and regions for just $9 USD per phone,” they explain.
Moreover, the same as Microsoft App Hub, the ChevronWP7 Labs website requires a Windows Live account for sign-up.
“We use Windows Live to manage your ChevronWP7 Labs account. If this is your first time, sign in with an existing Live ID and register for a ChevronWP7 profile. If you've been here before, just sign in using the Live ID you previously registered with,” the team says.
All those who would like to come up with application for the Windows Phone platform but do not have the required resources for that can now do so via this service.
Moreover, users can download and install on their devices applications that have not been yet approved for use on Microsoft's mobile operating system.
“ChevronWP7 Labs was designed to allow hobbyist developers to install, run, and debug unsigned applications on their personal Windows Phone. You log into the site with your Windows Live ID, pay a small fee, and presto — you’re ready to write and share some homebrew code,” the team of developers behind the website notes.
