Seriously

this not being able to purchase paid apps is such a load of bollocks

it's annoying me

it's annoying developers

it's financially hurting the developers

what are google doing?

the zenith of my enthuasiasm for any phone is the first few months after purchase - I'd say I spent
 
Ummm, think you may have an issue with your phone, google account or something else if you can't buy paid for apps.

I, as well as loads of others, have downloaded paid apps on many occassions.

Do you really think the market has a load of paid apps about but won't let people buy them? That is crass stupidity.

May I suggest calming down, stop slanging crap at Google etc and maybe ask people for some help given that YOU are having some issues buying them.

:D

@dajomel dude there's no issue with my phone or google account

you're just lucky you live in one of the few countries that have paid apps enabled

see here

Paid App Availability - Android Market Help


so you see the market does have a load of "paid apps about but won't let people buy them" and yes I agree with you it is " crass stupidity"

Please accept my apologies with my previous message then :) Have to admit, was unaware of those restrictions and I guess I am used to seeing so many UK people on here that I just assumed. Oops :eek:

Sorry to jump in here but as i have not bought any apps yet i was wondering,if i do,how do i pay for them:eek:

You setup a card onto your google account, accessible via your gmail/googlemail email address. After that it remembers so you just hit Buy, Confirm the details and Accept.

You can do it all through the phone from the first time you try to buy an app. Just follow the instructions :)
