Windows Phone phone without the need to create a
developer account? Alternatively, would you like to test

Now can anyone unlock their phone and download
apps onto it. You can only have two such apps on your
phone, if you do not have a developer account, then
you can have up to ten apps.
To do this, you must first download the Windows

Developer Registration Tool, which is installed with the
SDK.
