Hey Ironsingh,
Thanks for the reply. When i go into the accounts and sync page i see this:
Background data
Auto-sync
Manage accounts:
Under manage accounts, the phone is synced to my facebook and gmail accounts.
Make any sense?
Hmm, it seems that you have the
Locked version.
I think the best way to get Market and all the missing features for you is Flash your Firmware.
Since you are in Saudi I would assume you will want the Arabic version.
Please follow
this link and get the Latest Official Firmware (for Arabic I recommend I9000JPJPG).
Please understand that Flashing your phone carries risk of bricking your phone. However small the risk maybe I am still obliged to warn you of the consequences. You will have to do it at your own risk.
You may also want to back up before you continue.
Peace.
IronSingh
