apps missing from market

Developers have the option to "forward protect" apps, even free ones. These apps can only be seen using rom/build versions signed off by Google.

I had a G2/Hero from T-Mobile and the stock rom it came with couldn't access these apps but I downloaded an "update" from the T-Mobile web site (which was actually the same version number, but must have been a different build number) and that one gave me access to everything.

If you've rooted then I am not sure how that affects anything, but if your rom is stock as issued by Three, then you need to get Three to shout at Google to get the rom version/build signed off.
