I just got a lumia 800(won it) and I have not yet connected to provider but wanted to install some apps.

Every-time I try to go to the marketplace I run into this problem

Marketplace Error We're sorry, but we can't complete your request right now.

try launching marketplace again. If the problem continues, check back in a little while, or try restarting your phone.

Error code: 805a0193

I also tried to see if I can get windows phone 7.8 on it so I installed the zune software but it tells me this

You must create a Microsoft account in order to do this.

You may also need a SIM Card in but I can't be sure.

It all of sudden worked a few hours later. Must have been a marketplace problem. – xiao Feb 25 at 16:35

You need to make sure that your phone is connected to a wifi network if you do not yet have a provider.
