Will the App World work for me in Japan?

Currently living in Japan and hopefully I'll be picking up my first BB today. I've heard that the App World is currently only available to Canadian and US residents. I have a CDN credit card and a residential address-will that be enough to allow me to access the App World? I know that other places might have cheaper prices but I thought it would be a good place to go to get all the free stuff.

If you don't get any answers in here, I'd suggest maybe trying this same post in the "general blackberry" thread. :) Good luck!

i live in Indonesia but using Bold from Rogers and Jave from T-mobile both with local simcard so far no problem downloading from app world

hope that helps

Well that's certainly promising! I pick up my Bold today so I'll let you know how I get on.
