    The new version of 'My Account'

    I went to check my account with the android app, and got a new version notice. Read the reviews, and one person said you could no longer uninstall it. If this is correct, I'm not impressed.

    Any other comments on it? Any other foibles?

    Rogers 'binds' it to the kernel, making it (nearly) impossible to uninstall. The new version allows you to 'uninstall updates'.

    So much for having full control on Android devices....

    Rogers binds it even to non Rogers devices or Custom ROMs?

    What happened to the WP7 version? I had to reset my Lumia a couple days ago and now I can't find it in the Marketplace.

    It's listed in reinstaller but if i try to reload it via REinstaller i get a message that says :
    "App not available
    This might be because your phone software needs to be updated, the app is exclusive to a different provider,or the app is not available in your region."

    I had to reset my phone last week while in chicago, and i had to put the unlock code in again. when doing that i had my ATT sim in the phone. Is it posible that my phone (originally from Telus) thinks it's American even though i have a Rogers SIM in it?
