Talk about a fast turn around. In the last weeks of November, we reported of the unlocker being released for Windows Phone 7. Then on December 1st, we reported that the unlocker was pulled. Now, today, it appears that Microsoft has triggered a remote kill-switch that prompts the user to uninstall the app because the program has been revoked.
People at XDA-Developers are reporting that you can re-unlock your phone, but it appears that this is a server-side check by Microsoft that will randomly check the certificates and you will probably be prompted to uninstall the application again.
