WP7 Marketplace and country availability

A note about countries - starting with the Mango update, the list of countries to which you can sell apps to (and from) is ~doubled, covering some extra ~2 billion people compared to the original list :) The freshly added countries are [B]Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, [I]Finland[/I] :) , Greece, Hungary, India, Japan, Korea (South), Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan[/B]

Still, if you're a developer outside these, not all is lost:

In China, Israel and Luxembourg, developers can begin submitting apps directly to the Marketplace, while other global programs allow developers from unsupported countries a way into the Windows Phone Marketplace. This includes Yalla Apps, serving 69 Middle Eastern and African countries, App Port, supporting 13 countries in East Asia, APPA Market with 19 Central European countries, and Device7 and MTell, both supporting China.

Portugal FTW :)

It has already been announced that Nokia's content and application store will be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace for a more compelling consumer experience.

Nokia's Ovi Store already brings mobile apps to over 190 countries in multiple languages, and the uptake is growing fast. Nokia's extensive operator billing agreements will make it easier for consumers to purchase Nokia Windows Phone services in countries where credit-card use is low.

Does this means that upon integration of Ovi Store and Microsoft Marketplace, WP market will be available to other 150 countries currently not covered by Microsoft Marketplace?
