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."

    So, basically, Lumia topped sales on one website for a few days. And another website had put into 'bestseller list' without releasing any numbers.

    Yeah, it really performs well. Maybe next month a "Joe's Web Store" site would put it into "Top Wishlisted" products.

    Saw the username, looked at your endless troll submissions, ignore. If you aren't getting paid to do this it's even more lame.
