I got a WP developer account today. What are the perks of having a developer account? Is having a developer account similar to having a developer unlocked phone? If not, how do I get my phone developer unlocked? Is there something like I can get more features and apps which are not available to public?
 
Download the tools. It includes one that unlocks your phone. Use to sideload apps and get into the Dev Preview.
 
So basically I can't do anything without the tools even if my phone is linked to a developer account? The computer has to be the ultimate saviour all the time isn't it?

Uh... yah. lol

That's one way to put it! Most developers choose to develop on a PC instead of their phones.
 
You can even unlock one phone for development without developer's account. Though you need developers account to publish your soft of market.
 
What's the score with this one???

I've had student's developer account since 2012 and now I cannot register phones anymore :(
The latest phone I was able to register was my Dell Venue Pro on January 2014.

So if someone could answer to these following questions, I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it:

1) has there been some changes in student developer account? At least I haven't got any information from Microsoft about it
2) has this something to do that I still use WIN XP and SDK 7? So it's not supported anymore etc.?
3) how do you register that one phone (i.e. Wiindows Phone 7.8) without a developer account? I've built some phones (bought wrecked phones and fixed them) for my friends but I just cannot register their phones with their Windows Live accounts even though I've tried it several times.

Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks a million in advance!
