Android has root users, iPhone has the dev community and a little birdie told me webOS has homebrewers and Windows Phone 7 has… nothing at least not till now. Rafael Rivera, Chris Walsh, Long Zheng has teamed up and released ChevronWP7..

So if you are asking yourself

How to jailbreak / root Windows Phone 7

this is the answer you have been waiting for. ChevronWP7 is the unlocker tool for WP7, ChevronWP7 is reported to work with every Windows Phone 7 device and allows users to side loading of apps ( which was restricted to Windows Phone 7 Developers device ) ,ChevronWP7 also allows the use of private APIs, and access to low level functionality on your Windows Phone 7.

What ChevronWP7 allows you to do is the ability to add apps / games that are not approved or found at the marketplace. Say some one develops an app on xda-developers and adds it to the site , you can download the XAP file and install it on your Windows Phone 7 and you can run it. Now we dont have a central jailbreak appstore like iPhone’s Cydia but its going to happen sooner or later. via gizmodo
