$9 unlock? CWP7 UNLOCK?

May be home brew apps?

That's all for now. Or Marketplace. Wait for Interop unlock and you can customise even further, we don't have interop yet, but people are trying hard.

• Turn off the sound enhancer. It will perform much better.
• Buy an extra battery made for the Amaze or EVO 3D to get a little better life.
• Download some apps from the marketplace
• Help figure out how to Interop onlock it.

The phone is locked in 3 ways to prevent various security etc issues.

First one is developer unlock - which lets you load apps that are not in market. Same as installing non-market .apk or pirated .apk for android phones.

Second one is interop unlock - similar to root access where you can write and edit registry

Third one is full unlock - which is 'go wild' with your phone unlock.

1st and 3rd are easy. But to get 3rd one, we need 2nd one. Like any new android devices, it's hard to unroot at first. So at the moment there are efforts to root/interop unlock HTC Titan.

But by officially unlocking the phone we can add many apps from XDA which cannot be submitted to market because they are too cool

Thought this might help you understand the locks better than what I did there.

Of okay thanks!
Say, instead of the extension ".apk" what does WinPhone7 use?

Just to make a correction, official unlock allows a max of 10 sideloaded apps (3 if you do the Student-based official unlock). Once you interop unlock, you can have an almost limitless number of sideloaded apps.

Windows Phone uses ".xap".

There are some apps you really should download such as
1)Cool tools is a great app which has some necessary tools such as convertors/stop watch etc.

2)Mehdoh/Seesmic/rowi (all are twitter apps and all are good)

3)Toggle(a great app for making live tiles of Wifi/Bluetooth/Signal etc.)

4)Storm Glass(an excellent weather app with live tile support)

5)Skydrive(w/25GB of free storage for music/apps)

6)Qloud Media(it's like air video for iOS which lets you view your videos that are stored in your PC with your phone)

7)MetroTube (An excellent youtube app)

Hope you enjoy your phone !

May I add download METROTUBE before 31st December as on 1st Jan it won't be in marketplace. However if you download now you can use it on your phone even in 2012.

Are you sure ? because at first they said it's getting no updates and will be out of marketplace but later they said that they've reached an agreement or something with MS and metrotube will stay in market place(read it in wpcentral.com IIRC)

I am not sure about the agreement. The latest I read was, they will pull it from marketplace but those of us who have it won't lose it due to remote wipe from Microsoft. However, there won't be any updates. I thought we din't need much updates anyway with that app so I am still holding on to the app. However, I hope you are right!

I just ordered my Titan last night so I'm out of luck when it comes to METROTUBE. My question is, why is METROTUBE special? Is there something wrong with the HTC YouTube app that comes on the Titan?

Youtube app from HTC for me - does the job so I never complain but people who are out there to bash and compare WP7.5 with iOS5 will always say it's not an app.

Metrotube was better looking UI-wise - the metro UI used very well! Does exactly same as HTC's youtube too in terms of function. Oh, some sharing features were different if I am not wrong.
