Hi

I have a Nokia Lumia 800. I also have purchased a monthly zune pass subscription.

While I can download music from the marketplace on my PC and manully sync that across to my phone. I don't have access to the music marketplace on my phone, nor can I stream music on my phone.

Does anyone know if it is possible to enable it in New Zealand?

It will only be made available when 7.8 is available for Windows phone 7.x devices. Update will be released in Q1 2013. Rumors suggest sometime in January

Do whatever you want to do man.

Has anyone found out a way to get the zune pass music streaming on older 7.8 windows phones?

I'm almost to the end of my 2-year contract, so will probably upgrade to win phone 8 anyway.

as far as I remember, you needed to have a US based Microsoft Account and set your phone to US as well
