Paid apps in Singapore

[apmjoshi]

Greetings,

I read that paid apps are now (as of 30 September 2010) available in Singapore. How do I buy them? The Android Market app on my phone still does not list any paid apps. Will the market app be somehow upgraded automatically or do I have to do anything?

Appreciate your help.

Regards
AJ

It could take up to 2 weeks for it to be ready
I think it will happen automaticly

written 30. September

Additionally, over the next 2 weeks, users in 18 additional countries will be able to purchase paid apps from Android Marke

or, if you're really really impatient (like me!) You can actually access paid apps by downloading an app called market access to your phone. It emulates sim cards from around the world. I live in Indonesia where paid apps are a no go but my phone thinks my indonesian sim is actually a t mobile australia one. Mind you, you do need to root your phone.

Thank you both ironman666 and jollygoon.

I will wait for a few more days to see if paid apps get enabled in the market before venturing into rooting the phone.

I wanted to buy the paid version of Robo Defense (to get weapons upgrades since I am stuck on level 9 of the free version) which can wait for a few days. Of course if you know any tips/tricks to get past this level, you will make my day
