Sorry, I really dont know if it will work outside of US. The only way is to try and let us know. As I am traveling to Europe on a regular basis I will try and report my finding at that time.

Okie, I will test now. But I think it will didn't work because my friend's using Tmobile G1 RC33 JF1.43. 2 days ago, he tried putting an US sim card to his phone and he still not be able to access to paid market. I think google check our IP.
Now, all people try putting your sim card out and put the Tmobile sim card include phone box (if yyou buy it from US) and check the market, If you can access the paid market, It's mean that Google check sim region.
Then if you want to see the "paid" apps into Market, you really need
to have a SIM card plugged into ADP. Without it I could not see any
paid apps (very weird isn't it? Probably a nice bug in Market). I
recommend to plug your SIM card then to go to Market sections
"Applications" and "Games" and then you can get rid of your SIM card
and you will be able to see the "paid" apps.

Read it !!!!!!!!!!! It means that Google ceck Sim card region.
so basically what you are doing is just updating to 1.1 holiday, right?
Im in spain using JF 1.43 ADP1 1.1h and I cant see any paid app, so probably google is checking for sim country code...
Hello [Ris], I am from Spain too and I am afraid we will have to wait until Movistar releases their G1, I hope this month.
BUt, will Google do a cross check of the model number + sim country code and leave us without paid apps?
I think it is a nonsense that we can't buy apps from other countries.

I don't think so. I think they check sim and IP only. Because at older FW (rc30) I can't find some software that release only for US user, but when I plug in my tmobile sim card, I can find and download them. Now I tried doing that, but it doesn't work. I think I will fake IP and test again.
I think faking IP address in wireless router will work. We only need fake to US IP and use a US sim to access Android paid Market.
Please help us to fake IP in a router, I'm look for how to do.

Not exactly. What I have noticed is that whenever you access Market with a SIM card plugged you can see paid apps and then you dont need it anymore if you are on the same Wifi network.
I could unplugged my SIM card, reboot and thru Wifi still see the paid apps. Then connecting to a new Wifi network, I could not see the paid apps anymore.
Hope that helps,

adp 1.1 holiday and paid apps
i can see paid apps. im using jf holiday adp, udgraded baseband, in US.
Paid apps yea, but what about protected apps. I think rooted phones cannot donwload protected apps. Protection is an option you check off when releasing your app in the market.
ADP can't reach to paid market. I look for the way to fake IP from the router. Can you help me?
I have a german G1 with ADP1.1/JFv1.43h and I do see paid apps if I insert an old, used up prepaid US SIM card from cingular. Even with a german IP address.
The market application ask several time for my google account password after I swap the cards, but it does work. Unclear if i can buy something, I'll try that (have to first set up a google checkout account).
But: Soem other apps have completely disappeared after I flashed to the ADP1 firmware. Are those the so called 'protected' ones? Can somebody explain what this protection is about?
Thanks, I'll post any app buying success.
Success! Just bought the app "Graph" for 2.99$.
You need a google checkout account (and a visa/mastercard/whatever credit card for that) plus a (any) US SIM card. Works with JFv1.43h ADP1.
The SIM card can be old and rusty, the one I'm using is so old that it does not allow me to access the GSM/3G network here in germany.
Interesting is that the terms of service I had to agree on were displayed in german. This could be because I have a "german google account".
So, try it if you have such a SIM card, otherwise: It won't take long until the paid market doors open here in europe, maybe a few weeks.

Thạnk you very much. I'm flash back to RC33 JF4.3 and will post my result now
The firmware I'm using is JFv1.43h, the modified ADP1 holiday build. So you wont have any difference with RC33 I guess.
It depends on the SIM card.

Any remote chance of this working on 3 Australia?
...
This is just an FYI of what I've come across. I have the HTC Magic configured on the ATT US hsdpa network. I ran a port scan and found out AT&T is still not complying with what i thought was settled. AT&T blocks port 5060 which is the port that the SIP protocol functions. So, when you try to use skype, just like on the iphone, it will only work over wifi only and not over the network...but not because of the skype program for android, but because of att blocking the port....
if anyone has any information or comments please reply....I'd like to know more as well
2 free sims as well.
I saw a promotion last week for 2 free 3 sims (Say that when you are drunk) as well so I'm just waiting for the outcome of this. No top-up charge This means Really cheap Voip to International numbers over Wifi for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

i think there will be a large chance once we find where is the xml that contains the server address and edit it like what we've done to the iskoot client registry

in the local store they are giving away free sims, just walk in and pick one up, no questions asked.
Thank you very much for providing the apk file.
I have difficulty to download it neither from Market nor Three.co.uk.
It works well on my newly purchased HTC Tattoo with 3 PAYG.
Cheers.

kaizer006 there is any chance u can modify it to be used with other 3 operators in Italy in particular... i can provide u the numbers that the app calls
thanks
Emilio
and also for 3 australia please...the number is +61430005340
check the data limits on the current sims.. It's 90 days free for a total of 150mb so not too great.
I got two free sims with the last deal, I get 30 days unlimited data for 30 days for £5 don't need to topup voice as well.
3 Ireland
How can I locate the phone number in Ireland?
is there a version of this for non-3 networks? i would really appreciate a decent skype client for android (please don't point me to fring, it's still VERY, VERY beta and needs a lot more features)
Thanks for this awesome find,
I just spent ages creating an apk which automatically stuck in the settings for the 3 network, then upon searching the forum again i found your little gem of a post =/. think i should have searched harder!!
Creating an APK with different country settings isnt that difficult, you need to find the auto-signer tool, and modify the startup properties in /res/raw. although upon further investigation this ver of iskoot doesnt have those files so the settings must be stored elsewhere. so you would definately need the plain (non three) version of the iskoot apk.
autosigner and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
ive linked back to your 1st post (hope you dont mind) to point people in this direction.
I'm on 3 Ireland, using an unlocked htc hero. If I install this, will I get skype working with my 3 ireland sim???
nope, it doesn't work.
Thanks for this, I don't suppose anyone has their msn app if they do one for the hero that gives you free msn on 3uk

Unfortunately not. As the official post says, this works for 3UK customers only.
Here are the cabs for these apps! Credit to michealmyers for the uploads
NETCFv35[1].Messages.EN.wm is needed for Blockbuster app
Thanks for sharing...
Any infos about the apps? Is Amazon MP3 multilanguage-version or does it only work in UK/USA?
Thank you !
amazon works anywere but i think blockbuster is usa only
yep, the blockbuster one doesn't seem to do a huge amount on mine either - stock / unbranded HD2 UK.
Both runs on mine O2 HD2 but I think they are only for US customers.
If you find a way to use amazon one in UK, can you let me know how
thanks
I am using it on AT&T 3G in US...
Blockbuster - Really is kinda buggy...If I click "Get it", it doesn't actually do anything...Pushing the Settings button doesn't do anything, and I am guessing thats where you login? So I couldn't get to my Queue...
Amazon MP3 - Works just like it should I guess...
Problems on TMO US HD2
I can search and do everything except buy. When I try to by, I get Purchase Started: Success but User Authenticated: Fail. Same problem with free titles. I have verified my e-mail address and password and verified that I can buy online from PC.
nope i cant blockbuster get it to work in the uk boohoo lol
Cant get amazon to work, in the UK
Same here

I was able to stream a sample of a free song, but not download.
if the blockbuster app is not responding to you clicking Get it... it is the old versions...
when the phone was available for training.. the app was on the phone.. but acted the same way.. it was only the day before official launch (march 24th) that the cab then updated to version... 2.33?? i believe (the ones not working was 2.15 and 2.16)... only then did the get it option work.
not being in the US... idk if you will automatically receive updates of newer versions once installed...
Can someone explain why this is?
Somebody suggested taking out my sim card and going to the market over Wi-Fi would get around this... I'm not so sure?
If not, could someone post the .apk?
Thanks.
Do you have root? If so there are two free applications that do this, one wired and one wireless.
You could try market enabler and it should show up then.
no root, running stock. Taking out sim worked. Have it now.
Removing your sim card and acessing th emarket with wifi will allow you to see and install apps you can't see otherwise. For more info:

I originally installed NDrive 10 on my HD2 about a month ago, doing it directly on the phone. I had it running from my SD card and all worked well for a while until I had to upgrade my ROM (NRG) - having done a Task 29 before the ROM change, I cannot see how to reinstall NDrive. Although I got an e-mail receipt for the purchase, this did not give a serial number and I don't have a record of seeing one when i ran the original installation on the phone. Added to this problen is the fact that the NDrive folder on my SD card does not have a 2577 folder and will not install afresh - the lack of any serial number presumably would stop me completing this anyway.
I e-mailed NDrive a week ago for advice but have yet to hear back from them (which seems a little unusual as other users seem to have got their queries dealt with much quicker). Does anyone have advice or experience covering this situation? Will NDrive give me the serial nmber so that I can activate a trial version? Or are the maps on my SD card already activated, so I simply need to get the application again?
Thanks in anticipation.

Just sign into the Marketplace on your phone and it should be in your downloaded programs, ready to reinstall.
i do this everytime I flash.
If you didnt buy it from the marketplace, then you wil lneed to aquire the cab somehow.
the maps stay on your SD card.
Reinstalling NDrive
Thanks for this advice, except that (weirdly) the last time I checked there were no products listed in my account. Even more of a problem though is the fact that the NDrive website is down currently - no matter how i try to get there, I cannot get into it. Maybe that explains why they didn't reply to my message - following the recent iPhone problem, are they no longer operating?
Which leaves me trying to find a copy of a programme cab for which I have paid for (yes I do still have the maps).......
S
PS update - website now back up, but still no reply to my message to them.

yes they never reply. its been 2months and about 10mails to them from every way i can but no reply as yet. i got a cab but not sure if its allowed to provide over here or not. on reinstall we can get the map activated but the problem will arise when we change our device. for that we need the serial number which they are not providing. LOOSERS.
i bought canada map from within the application so have the invoice in my mail but no serial number. dunno why they loot ppl like this.
Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to buy apps/games from the Marketplace in WP7? I just bought an HTC surround last week and managed to be able to access the marketplace and zune stuff, but I wanted to buy some of the apps in there but I don´t know how to achieve this ... and yes I tried to google for it but all I can find is how to access the marketplace which I already did and I´m able to download trials and free apps, but I wanted to buy some. Thanks in advance
Kinda expensive but it works http://www.zunepassanywhere.com/help-purchasing-windows-7-phone-apps.html
You can just put your real credit card number, name, and put just some address in an authorized country ( make sure it is has legit postcode, suburb, and correct code phone number). That's what i did and I can buy apps. Fyi i use my indonesian credit card and use australian address and phone number details. As long as your credit card details are correct, it should work.
