Switch Google Accounts and Google checkout

[Fare]

First, some preliminary statements:

1) I apologize if this has been asked before, did some searching before posting.
2) I am not trying to steal apps, I have contributed my fair share in donations and purchasing apps.

ok,

Recently, I have decided to change my Gmail Screen Name. It wasn't particularly offensive/stupid, but I wanted something I could put on a resume (I was using my ISP provider as a "Professional" e-mail). Little did I know that certain things are "tied" to an Google e-mail addresses, like, for example, Google voice and Google checkout. As soon as I found out about the Google voice thing, I looked into it, and found nothing other than "maybe some day". Ok, whatever.

Today, however, I did a clean install of Android onto my G1 (I physically broke my last mem card believe it or not...), and much to my dismay, when I used a different email, all my purchased apps were missing. I looked around to change my Google account around, and can't find anything.

Has anyone else had this problem, and or does someone know of a solution (an email to send or something)? All I can say is be sure you want to keep your Gmail address when you sign up for stuff...

This is an excellent question. Here is a posting on how to change your gmail account (http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f21/is-it-possible-to-change-your-linked-gmail-account-or-do-you-have-to-do-a-phone-reset-5718/).

Here is a thread that explains how it affects your paid apps and previous account (http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f21/is-it-possible-to-change-your-linked-gmail-account-or-do-you-have-to-do-a-phone-reset-5718/).

Short answer is, if you backed up your paid apps, you should be able to reinstall but you won't get updates as your email address/account is different.
