Windows Phone Homebrew Hits a Snag

Posted by Soulskill on from the freedom-for-some dept.

symbolset writes "TheNextWeb is reporting that the first official jailbreak for Windows Phone 7, ChevronWP7, has 'sold out' of tokens to enable homebrew application support. Only 10,000 tokens to jailbreak Windows Phones were ever granted. According to an announcement through ChevronWP7's Twitter feed, they're discussing whether they will ask Microsoft to make more available. With Lumia falling flat in Europe Microsoft needs all the enthusiastic modding fans they can get."

    Erm, try again:

    European customers yawning at Microsoft/Nokia Windows phone. ... lukewarm response in Europe despite rock-bottom dumping prices financed by Microsoft who badly wants Android to fail.

    Well I'd trust the mainstream tech media to give some reliable numbers on Lumia sales rather than an MS astroturfing site.

    Let's see: El Reg, Grauniad, Gizmodo, and many others..
