Guide contribute by thurtin GUIDE TO LINK CREDIT CARD TO SINGAPORE WINDOWS PHONE 7 MARKETPLACE AND BUY APPS IN MALAYSIA!
1. Sign up for a Windows LIVE account (www.hotmail.com) that is registered to a real Singapore address. Go search for a real Singapore post code from the net. It doesn't matter if you don't live there. I don't know if it matters, but select the 'hotmail.com' option
2. Once you've done that, go to www.xbox.com. First thing you do is the change locale at the top left corner from US (by default) to Singapore. Not sure if this matters, but just in case. Then choose the JOIN NOW option at the top right corner.
3. When you are redirected to the type of Xbox Live account page you want, you can opt for the FREE option.
4. In the page where you are required to key in your email, type in the email you've just created. You will then be redirected to a page when you need to key in some basic contact details. Do the necessary. For some strange reason, the month of your birthday selection box will be in Chinese but since its arranged numerically, it's not an issue unless you cannot count to 12. Click I ACCEPT to proceed.
5. In the next page, you can set your 'gamertag' of your choice. A gamertag is your nickname/avatar on Xbox Live. The first time is free so choose wisely. To change your gamertag next time, its 800 MS points or about RM30. After choosing your gamertag, go back to MY ACCOUNT.
6. Under the ACCOUNT INFORMATION option, choose EDIT PAYMENT OPTIONS. In the next page, fill in a real Singapore address you chose earlier and click NEXT.
7. In the next page is where you fill up your Malaysian credit card details. Do the necessary. No need to change the Singapore address you've just keyed in. Click NEXT to proceed.
8. And you're done! Your credit card is now linked to your LIVE account.* Note that if you've created a fresh LIVE account for this, you need to hard reset your phone and tie in the new LIVE account. That also means that all your contacts and info on LIVE (Messenger, hotmail, etc) is gone. Sorry.
*Okay. I have to note that I did not make any transactions to see if my card works with this newly created account. My card (Citibank Visa) works with my existing LIVE account so there should be no reason that it doesn't. So, please report back if this doesn't work ok? No need to complain or b**** about it.

Steps to force a Mango update on phones for which Mango has started rolling out:
1.Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
2.Click on Phone > Settings > Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
3.Time to force the update. Click another button (any of the options above or below the word Update). Then click the Update button again, and this time disconnect your computer from the internet after 1-2 seconds. Do this by pulling out the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc. If it says your phone is already up to date, you didn't disconnect quickly enough and need to try this step again.
4.Wait 30 seconds or so and Zune should display a notification that an update is available. This is 7392, the first Mango pre-update.
5.Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software. After 7392 is fully installed, you may receive a notification that another update is available. If so, install it now. If not, proceed to the next step.
6.If the second update isn't popping up on its own, repeat steps 3-5, causing the 7403 update to appear.
7.Install 7403, brave reader. Speeding right along, isn't it?
8.Mango time! At this point, Zune should automatically start installing the last update, 7720, aka Mango. If it doesn't happen automatically, force it like we did in previous steps.

ReEnabling Your Cellular Data Connection After Mango Update
Here's a note for everyone upgrading to Mango. If you find that cellular data DOESN'T work after updating to Mango. Based on what some users have said here, it seems to be likely that your carrier APN isn't set anymore. Therefore you need to go to
Settings -> Mobile Network -> Add APN (at the bottom of the screen) And add back the relevant APN setting for your telco. credit to marauderz

ok. i tried twice on this method and confirm this is working. please use this method under your own risk. i will not be holding any responsible if anything went out of control.
1. download U2M7720.xap(thanks To ansar for this) at http://www.mediafire.com/?535d02w4tc7qo6j 2. side load to you HTC device. 3. execute the app and select DoNotU2B2 4. when Configuring Device appear. press on "tick" 5. wait until it execute finish. press "Done" 6. connect your phone to Zune and execute Zune. 7. go Setting, Phone, Update 8. it take a longer time to detect but it will prompt u HTC drive update is available. 9. update it and it will look like normal update.
do not worry about your dev-unlocked. it will still be able to sideload.
once the driver updated. u will see some improvement over your device. such as more responsive device and better battery saving too. credit to fulat
