just search wp7 developer tools and you'll get everything you need for free. also, when and if you plan to sell\give away on microsoft's marketplace you will need to pay $99 a year to do so. in a short period of time the chevron team will release a $9 work around to let you side load any of the non marketplace apps. this will not allow you to sell on marketplace, just lets you load homebrew apps.

great enthusiasm, but the way wm is going you have to get on the wm7 train now. i am running mango 7.5...ooooh it's nice. hope this gets you into the wp7 developer door.

if anyone else needs to know how to load mango WITHOUT a developer unlocked phone PM me.
