Unlocking the WP7 Samsung Focus [AT&T]

December 8th, 2010 No comments

I just moved from an iPhone to the new nifty Samsung Focus running Microsoft’s new nifty Windows Phone 7 operating system.   There’s a good overview of the phone here.  It’s very different than iPhone but I absolutely love it.  I’m travelling to the UK soon and wanted to use a Pay and Go SIM rather than pay outrageous AT&T roaming charges.   My calls to AT&T to get the unlock codes were on deaf ears so I looked to one of the many internet unlock sites.   I coughed up $19.99, hit a few hidden menus and was soon in unlock bliss.

David Bergman describes how he made a stunning 1,474 mega-pixel photo of the inauguration using a stock Canon G10 camera.    Background on the pano shot is available from here.   The detail is amazing.

On a related note, CNN has also been pulling together some amazing Photosynth’s of the inauguration too using the Microsoft Photosynth technology.
