As I mentioned before, there MIGHT be a way to migrate the country, but if you didn't feel safe about it you should have used a dummy account first.

I still don't see Malaysia in the marketplace or apphub website though.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like it's gonna be that issue. The reason is that your BILLING COUNTRY is not the same as your actual country.

It was something I expected a year ago.

Only if you're still using the same Live ID, as I have mentioned your BILLING COUNTRY is not the same as the country you set under region+langauge in settings.

Login to https://billing.microsoft.com and look for your personal information for the Live ID you're using you'll see what Country it's locked to.

Technically lying about where you are already violated the service agreement.

I agree with you that regioning needs to die, but until all the"exclusive distributor for X country" contracts expire, that's not happening.

Trying to use our local credit cards in US region marketplace is much more difficult than Singapore. But you can try.

As for the RM300 GPS app, I think that's for the Garmin one right? Everyone was screaming about how crazy it was when they released it.

But the main thing is.. Selecting Malaysia as your Live ID account works now? Website still doesn't show Malaysia.

Well, part of the agreement with Nokia is for MS to get access to Nokia's OVI map data. So let's see how that turns out.

we should see at least one or two more full platform updates for 1st gen Windows Phones.

As for USSD support, yeah.. that's a big problem for us. I'm pretty certain they don't use it much in the US that's why no one thinks its a big deal to fix it over there. hopefully this wrong gets right soon.

You'll have to wait for the app developer to resubmit their apps so that they can get certified for sale in Malaysia.

You signed in with a Malaysian ID? Restart the phone by holding on the power to turn it off and try again.

Yeah, after factory reset and you login with a Malaysian id, restart the phone. Does your Games hub show Xbox live or chess piece icon?

No idea, that seems to be their usual message that you can use their services for free for the 1st year. It's just their way of covering their bases so they can move to charge model if necessary.

well.. a LOT can happen in a year! So anything is possible.

What exactly is the message you're getting? mind posting it here to see?

yes, there'll be subtle differences between SG and US region. Most visible if you're an XBL player cause a few of the XBL utilities aren't released outside of US.

Paypal should be for purchases made on Xbox Live only.. can that be used on the phone? Let me go check.

Yes, the main difference is that only the Primary Live ID's XBox Live, Messenger and Skydrive can be used. Contacts, Emails can be linked without any problem.

It seems to work for everything EXCEPT OneNote notebooks, which sucks for me since what I used the most.

If the other Live ID has shared the notebook to the main Live ID on the phone, then it seems to be ok. But just plainly trying to open any public One Note? Not possible. Minor annoyance!

3G should just work, I didn't set anything for my HTC Radar. As for MMS... hmmm.. there's a Network setup app right? try that and see if Malaysia Maxis is listed. note that if you see Maxis and Maxis 3G listed, you need to choose the 3G one.
