Missing PLAYNOW Service

[#1]

I just got the X10 not long ago. Literally only a week ago to be honest. I could have sworn I saw the playnow service on there when I first booted it up. I performed an update like I was told by my provider (Rogers here in Canada) and it said there were no new updates. But when I looked just the other day the Playnow icon is missing from the Application folder....

I have searched through the net and came across this site http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/4584 which describes others loosing the Icon as well. I've walked through it and I'm not finding it.

The last post suggests going to http://m.sonyericsson.com/sam-resetplaynow through the mobile browser on the phone. What I get is a message from the sony ericsson site stating that the page has been moved or no longer exists.

Is there a way to get this service back without unlocking my phone? I'll unlock it if I have to, but I really hope its not necessary.

go to

I figured it out, there are Two ways

1) Go to settings -> Applications -> make sure Unknown Sources are checked

2) Download wooboo file manager on android market

3) go to: /system/app and look for playnowarena.apk

4) select it and install it, voila now you have PlayNow

Now if you don't have Playnowarena.apk in your phone then:

1) download "0I File Manager"

2) mount your SDcard to your computer

3) download this file [REMOVED] and copy it anywhere on your SD card

4) unmount  your phone

5) open 0I file manager

6) look for playnowarena.apk

7) press on it and install it

😎 now you have PlayNow

Very odd.

I'm not seeing it at all within Settings - > Applications -> Manage Applications ->

....

I've followed that information about using the file manager. The closest ap that I could see in there was Playnowarena_updater.apk

I'm not seeing any other Playnow apps within the system/app folder

Your country may not be supporting playnow. Did you purchase the phone from someother country other than where you are residing now?
