My billing country is set to Singapore. i guess it's a gone case for me since i'm definitely not gonna reset my phone nor use a different live id. Maybe if enough people email and complain to ms they might do something about it.

yup, mine billing country is locked under Singapore, my live id with hotmail.sg instead .com, when i 1st create this dummy email just trying my luck earlier, who know MS Billing approve my local CC with singapore region.

anyway, my primary email is Gmail , i will keep my sg live id for marketplace purchase.

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

The App Hub registration still doesn't have Malaysia as a country of residence.

How clever of them to sell the phone in Malaysia yet not allow you to choose Malaysia as your home country. All this regioning and country locking is a concept that needs to die.

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

Please add me in the list, Nokia Lumia 710 owner here! Thanks in advance!

done, our 2nd Nokia WP7 user!! how much??

I got to Hong Kong vacation recently and got it from there. The price is HKD 2888 (Around RM1k)...

I'm curious too as to what this restrictions are. Because I don't notice anything restricted on the apple appstore.

I had problems personally with steam's marketplace because I use an Australian PayPal. The prices you have to pay for the same game in the Australian market is just pure daylight robbery.

Any Windows phone dev care to help?

so nokia purity will be selling on the same day as well ?

so turn out i decided to hard reset my radar in favor of using live id tied to Malaysia region, guess what?

Most of live game is not there, goodbye kinectimal!
No zune and podcast!!
No bing map! only plain location display!
No more turn by turn navigation via bing maps!

Plus point is, now marketplace price is shown in RM, (which is sometime insane, GPS apps for RM300 wtf)
And you can now use malaysia credit card. (but i still receive payment is not authorized bla bla, wondering whether its because im using bankcard..can someone confirm?)

and now your market place is in bahasa melayu, so as your live website although im already set it in english

yup, like im using singapore region on marketplace all transaction made turn out to be S$ instead USD.

GPS app for RM300 WTF!! i could purchase alot apps with 300 man...

M$ just officially expand their market to our region on 3rd of feb, perhaps we should wait alittle bit longer before our region market really can see all those standard apps and games and fixing the currency rate here.

Yup i was thinking the same too. But till then, im switch back to us account to get the benefit i get earlier. Btw should i use singapore account instead? Can u buy apps via credit card if using us account and address?

using US region allow you to see all apps but not sure bout buying apps using our local cc with US account, perhaps try read above marauderz post #858 about live id and marketplace..etc

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.

Still can't download apps on the Marketplace even when my region is set to Malaysia. Updated my billing details and account but can't also. :/

Yup it works now, confirmed, can download as usual . but the marketplace kinda empty, its understandable for day 1 announce. Developers need to reset their apps so its available worldwide, hope they alert and fix their apps soon. You dont need to go to xbox live or zune to add your credit card, marketplace is configured to malaysia first time you load it, from there you can continue with buying by using credit card. No need to add you credit card. Its every time buying only. So i think we should not worry if we have over spending.

Yes its for garmin, the funny thing is , they dont even have malaysia map in it. But from what i can see, all apps price are multiply by 3 for malaysian market, its good they dont use actual currency exchange i think..


No bing map! only plain location display!
No more turn by turn navigation via bing maps![U]

Work around is to set your browser & search region setting to US. You can use it again! Thanks god the browser and application is not actually tied with your account as google does. Hope they leave it this way, atleast before our region is support again.
