Tip: You can actually download apps from other regions without altering your Live ID

I don't think many people actually now that. It wasn't the case in WP7 but in WP8 it works fine.
Go to Settings > language+region and change Country/Region to the marketplace you want to access. A "restart phone" button will appear underneath the Regional format example, press it and let your phone restart. That's it, go to the marketplace and enjoy! I've only downloaded free apps but paid ones shouldn't be an issue, specially if you use PayPal.
Hope this helps some people.

I did that befor, however there is problem with credit cards being from other region than the phone (eg. I couldnt pay for UK apps using PL card), but ye I think paypal should solve that.

I did this to download Nokia Music since there is some positive talk about it yet not accessible for Canada yet. Thanks

This won't work for paid apps if you use a credit card.

It works for paid apps if you use Paypal. Unfortunately Paypal payments aren't supported in every country.

Thank you for this post! As a L920 owner in Canada I have been wanting Nokia Music. Any tips for getting Pandora to work out of region. I am attempting to try this with metrotube but haven't had luck.

I'm out of luck then. I can't add paypal at my region yet. So I still can't buy app from other region

I can't use my portuguese paypal account to buy games/apps from USA marketplace. This is normal?
