Default [Q] How to complement till full toolchain?

Hello everybody!

I have FW4, VS2010 Ult, XNA Game Studio 4, ExpressionBlend 4. I want to start development for WP7 and found MS' toolchain (467Mb ISO!), but it's huge! (and no separate components is available). What else do I need to develop for WP7? Guessed I need phone emulator and some libraries/SDK, but cannot find appropriate packages. Can somebody help me, please?
Also, do I need unlocked image? What exactly is locked in emulator?

Thanks in advance.

The only basics you really need Visual Studio, and this download which is the Developer Tools Package, it contains all the files, the emulators, etc

One thing you should certainly take a look at is the Silverlight for Windows Phone Toolkit, which you can get here:

It's stuff that really should be in the main SDK download, but it simply isn't.
