Smile Kindle outside US - Newbie

Hi Guys,

I just got a Kindle 2 from a friend in the US. I live in Dubai.

I have the following issues:

1. Kindle firmware is version 2.1 .. I would like to upgrade to 2.5
2. It is not registered.
3. I have created an amazon account. Amazon didn't ask me about the country of my residency.

My questions:

1. Can I use my Dubai credit cards to buy books and download from usb or should i buy gift cards and use them?

2. Do I have to specify that I am a resident of the US or it doesn't matter?

3. How can I register the Kindle in my name? I have registered online by adding the serial number but the kindle still says that it is unregistered; which is understood as I can't use the wireless feature.

4. Should I register before upgrading the firmware? or it's doesn't matter? can I just download the new software firmware and upgrade?

Thanks guys. .. hope you can quickly help me .. i can't wait to read my first book on the kindle
