Windows Phone 7 is now “jailbroken”. A new unlocker tool called ChevronWP7 will allow for application sideloading, the use of private APIs, and access to low level functionality (like phone functions), all capabilities normally not available.
Unlocked Windows Phone 7 devices could lead to the development of a home-brew community, similarly to what happened in the Apple world with Cydia. At the same time, the developers behind ChevronWP7 have clearly stated that they do not condone nor support piracy. This tool was developed to enable functionality that is available (but locked down) in Windows Phone 7.
Ready to unlock your Windows Phone 7 device? Simply download ChevronWP7, connect your phone to your computer and run the program. And if you ever have any remorse, the app will let you reverse the unlocking.
