One thing i would like to ask is this: why is it that users in "unofficial countries" still can't see any apps? what is the official policy behind this? the main reason for our frustration not that we can't get our apps; but that Palm seems to be keeping silent on this. could you help shed some light (and not in the vague tech-support lingo)?

thanks once again

We allow application access based on where your palm profile was created. (e.g. you have to create your profile with the device being in one of our officially supported areas). I can't comment on to the why's, I don't know that information, it can be anywhere from legal issues up to just cya type stuff, not entirely sure.

I can't state if that will even ever change. I imagine if there was ever such an animal as an unlocked device that would possibly have to be modified in some way (don't get any hopes up I'm not hinting at anything, just stating the only possible case scenario I can think of where this might ever change).

I know it is a pain, but if you can get access to a SIM card from one of our approved countries then create your profile with that SIM card in the device, you should have access to that countries applications. You should then be able to go back to your own SIM card and use the device fine.
