Hi! I have a HTC Trophy and have been using it for awhile, buying a number of apps. I just bought my mum a Windows Phone, and want to show her how awesome it is. There are some apps that I have paid for that she would also like, and I imagine there is a way to download the apps on both phones.
I tried adding my Windows Live ID to her phone, (along with her Live ID which was added at setup) but this didn't solve anything and I still didn't get any prompt to reinstall the app because I've already bought it.
I know it is possible, because there are guides out there saying how one can reinstall apps on their new phone. But I can't seem to do it when a Windows Live ID is already attached to the phone. On iPhones, it is as simple as typing your Apple ID into the Marketplace when buying apps. :/
