Microsoft Discontinues Approved ChevronWP7 Unlocker, For Now Anyways
Only two short months after ChevronWP7 began selling Microsoft approved $9 “tokens” to unlock WP7 handsets, the tool is now being discontinued. According to WPCentral, ChevronWP7 struck a deal with Microsoft outlining that they would not sell more than 10,000 tokens. It appears that ChevronWP7 has officially sold out of its 10,000 available tokens and has no immediate plans to negotiate with Microsoft for more.
As stated by ChevronWP7 spokesperson Rafael Rivera,
“Microsoft isn’t involved in our discussion yet. And they can’t provide us with more unlocks because we haven’t asked yet. If we do request more, we’re sure Microsoft will respond positively – as they have in the past.”In the interim, the only other Microsoft approved unlocker tool is their own AppHub, which is priced at a costly $99.
