Windows Phone 7 developer edition, not for every country

Well I can confirm that in Ireland the official answer from Microsoft reps on the number of Windows Phone allocated for developers is.....

(drum rolls)

2 !!

Yep that's true, if I need to test an app I am building, I was told that I have to register for a lab session, then I have to drive miles to the Microsoft Atrium (the other side of Dublin for me)  to debug and test in a 'lab' setup.

 Obviously if I forgot few bugs back to square one.

 The phone emulator on VS 2010 don't let me testing everything I need (acceloremeter, etc...) and it's really frustrating to not be able to see an app running on real hardware.

Microsoft you sucks big time
