Help No Android market

[ajay saran]

I bought a Samsung galaxy fit s 5670 in KSA but without Android market,,,,,Trying to install the downloaded androidmarket application with no hit ,,,,, it is installing but when i 'open' the application it pops up a error msg and disappears ,,,,,

what is the error message? Is it really Samsung phone? I think its better complain this issue to your phone seller. Because of looks like this is not a genuine phone.

I know the market wasn't available in KSA for a while, it might be your carrier is blocking it?

what the reason Saudi Arabia block Android market? They block Android market but they sell Android phone? What a joke!

 

[El Presidente]

I actually think it was vice versa, Google didn't authorise use of the market there.

If the carrier had a surplus of Android handsets before the block and they started selling them after, it might well be that they don't have the market app pre installed.

I'll see if I can find some links for you.

I have exactely the same problem. Purchased samsung galaxy tab in shanghai last year and still not able to install android market app. I saw some earlier posts about same problem, but the solutions were too complicated...
Any easy way to make it work?
