Apple showcased  the “Find My iPhone” a while back but it is surely not alone anymore. At Microsoft’s event today they added themselves to that mix, which also includes Verizon Wireless who will soon be adding that feature to it’s smartphone line up.

As opposed to having to pay the $99 premium to even use the feature on iOS, AT&T has announced it will be free. That may not be true of all carriers. To use the feature it looks as if all you have to do is head over to the Windows Phone site and sign in to find your phone.

They may be late to the Smartphone Wars but they sure are trying to reel in some buyers.

Want to check out Windows Phone 7 Series before it hits the stores? Instructions on how to run the emulator (with all of the applications unlocked) are after the jump.

There are 4 things that you need to download. It’s quite a bit of downloading, but you need all of it for any of this to even work.

  1. Visual Studio 2010 Express
  2. Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7
  3. .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
  4. Hacked Emulator ROM (Multiple Mirrors)

Once all 4 things are downloaded, install the first 3, and extract the hacked ROM to your desktop. Rename this ROM to “WM70C1.bin”. Head over to C:\Program Files (or x86)\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Emulation\Images, and rename the “WM70C1.bin” to “WM70C1.bak.bin”. Take the one on your desktop and move it to the Images folder.

Next, start “Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone”, make a new project, then start the simulator.

- Enjoy!
