I think my region is already set to Singapore sleep.gif Well, I guess I'll never buy anything from the marketplace until they change this stupid policy that prevents you from changing your country. So I guess I'll be FORCED to pirate stuff even though I'd rather pay for them. The concept of countries is stupid anyway.

When Malaysia finally gets added to the countries, I guess we'll be able to use the same page that's available to migrate user accounts which the Xbox users use.

I sure hope there's a migration tool. Else I'll be very upset.

Btw, some info on Windows Phone 8 (Apollo) here http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/02/windows-phone-8-detailed/
*
That's some pretty awesome stuff right there. I just wonder if Gen 1 phones can upgrade to Apollo since it'll be running on a different kernel.

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.

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

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'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.

Yes, the USSD support is a very glaring omission as in developing economies and where pre-paid is prevalent it is a must.  Hope that Nokia with its world wide experience would know some sense into Microsoft.  Also hope that the full platform updates will continue for a few iteration.
*
Damn, so frustrating that we're in this "developing economy". It annoys me to no end that none of our carriers have web based equivalents to their USSD star codes. Maxis's solution to topping up your broadband data plan on the iPad is to pop out your micro SIM card from the iPad itself and place it in some phone that uses a micro SIM card (and not that many phones use micro SIM either) and dial the USSD code. This is the same damn solution they suggest for Windows Phones. How can you sell stuff which you don't even support?

Holy mother of god, is it so hard to hire 1 programmer to code this into their website? If I was working there, it would take me 1 day to code it in. Annoys me to no end.

Are they authorised Nokia resellers? If they are, is it within their rights to charge beyond Nokia's retail price?

Well, Bing Map's Local Scout has no info for Malaysian places anyway. Besides Nokia Mapa has its own version of Local Scout that works well.

Though its downright stupid that we can't use Bing Vision. We don't need the purchasing function but c'mon at least let us do visual search.
*
They should put "apps" in one of pivots in local scout like how they do it in the pictures hub, so at least you can link to apps like foursquare or trip advisor if the local scout isn't available in your region. (which was practically every country on the planet except the us until a few weeks ago)
