ok, so i got an activation code for my HD2 (er, i mean, HD7...) via chat no problem.
but, it says i am in China, which i am not (although i do go there sometimes, my wife is chinese)
i think i should have used my vpn to put me in the UK.
so, how can i remove the activation code and enter a new one?
(i was hoping not to have to reset)

Did you try and remove your E-Mail? Try and delete Windows Live Account on your device and load it again with new Code. But be aware that you'll have to sync everything again =P

first of all, your activation code has nothing to do with the country setting. you choose that during set up. 2nd, you cannot remove the activation code by removing your live acct. 3rd, you cannot remove your live acct associated with your phone/activation code.

you have hard reset to re-enter code.

i didnt think i could change the country code when i was setting up. it can only be linked to my ip.
are you saying if i reuse the activation code on a clean install i can change the country?

anyway, i used Market Select to sort-of change the location and i have sideloaded the apps i wanted anyway.

hard reset, huh? WP7 and M$ sucks big time
