For tiden støtter Windows Phone Marketplace bare sytten land. Så hvis din en av de heldige mange til å eie en Windows Phone 7, men bor i et land uten Windows Phone Marketplace, er du fast med en flott telefon uten tilgjengelige alternativer for å få de godbiter du bare må ha!
Ikke vær redd, det er for øyeblikket et krav startet rettet mot Microsoft for å få resten av verden støttet.
There are no reasons given why there’s no access to the marketplace in these other countries even though the phones are officially on sale by local mobile operators. One can only guess what those reasons are. The only remotely logical explanation is that you want to localize the marketplace into local languages and currencies for these regions before allowing access. This probably makes some sense in larger markets like Russia or China where the phones aren’t available yet (probably because OS is not localized into their languages).
However the phones are available for purchase via official channels in many countries around the world (probably all countries in European Union) even though there’s no localized user interface for these countries. Customers who make informed decision to buy a phone with English UI wouldn’t mind that Marketplace is in English too. What they do mind is that their new shiny smartphone has less features than a regular phone.
