RIM is aware of this issue and is working on it. Meanwhile, if you are on VZW (with a Storm or Tour), one of the work arounds is to remove the GSM SIM from your BB. On VZW, the SIM is not needed for anything unless you are travelling away from the US; If you are not on VZW yet are on another CDMA carrier, you can try removing the SIM as well…but I am not positive that works OK with all other CDMA carriers.

I updated to 1.1.0.19 and don’t have the currency problem, but I’ve never set up a purchase option.

However, I found that after I updated and chose to Reboot Later, I couldn’t exit the app. The only thing I could do was to bring up the Application Switcher ([Alt][Esc]) and change to another app. Even the [End] key didn’t work.

Then, once I rebooted, the BlackBerry Application Store still doesn’t show up in My World.
