WP7 devices unlocked with ChevronWP7 gift commencement to re-lock in August

We bed that the denomination sounds similar a downer for the Windows Phone inebriant scene, but actually it shouldn't be such a bad action that ChevronWP7 unlocked devices are feat to play re-locking in August, because it seems that Microsoft has a direction as it transitions the level to Windows Phone 8. 

If you don't bed, ChevronWP7 was originally a way to jailbreak WP7 devices, but became a cooperation curriculum in which Microsoft allowed 10,000 unlock codes to be oversubscribed for right $9 apiece. This allowed the burgeoning WP7 intoxicant group to get legal admittance to unlocking devices, which helped the alcohol group by making it easier to unlock devices, and helped Microsoft by responsibility the intoxicant accord from trying too rocklike to exceed the system. Those 10,000 unlock codes started merchandising in November 2011, and were all sold by January of this period, and the syllabus was officially prevent downwards in April. 

Now, it has been announced that devices unlocked using ChevronWP7 module get re-locking as of Noble 11th (perhaps the begin appointment for WP8?) Devices instrument re-lock when engaged to a PC and run finished the Zune software. That's the bad program, but the beatific intelligence is that ChevronWP7 has a lean of "over 8,000" users who had purchased codes, who will now get a inexact one year body to Microsoft's App Hub utilisation tools (this is usually $99 per year). Those users present be fit to unlock their devices again using Microsoft's tools in the App Hub, and stronghold on excavation. 

The ChevronWP7 group is locution to "act tuned" for many homebrew options for Windows Phone.
