Can someone please tell me how to change my name for when I leave comments in the android market?

More than likely only an Admin can Chnage your username.

Assuming you are talking about NOT on AC, and actually mean what you said on the market.. My 2 guesses are either change it on your gmail account, or as the registered, "holder" of the phone through tmobile. I think Tmobile has 3 names on an account, billing, main contact, phone user - usually all the same but if your phone is billed to someone else I think it may show up as the default policy signer.

Let me know how this turns out please.

OK, https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount go to that link when your signed into google on your computer. There should be a link that read "edit" next to "personal information" click that and you ought to be able to change your display name.

its not listed by t-mo, the name displayed in an android market comment is connected to your google e-mail acount which you are signed in on the phone with. its easily changeable.
