    Real mobile phone geek needed :)

    I think it's possible to get some paid apps directly from the developers' websites - pay your money and download the .apk and install that way instead of via the market I believe? Certainly no replacement for the convenience of the market, but I guess some paid apps are better than none.

    Going to the UK - entry for up to 6 months

    Hell, I got this last time I arrived back in London and I'm British! I'd only been in BsAs a month. Welcome home, eh? :rolleyes: Maybe I just looked a bit terrorist-y that day.
