Have fun!

p/s have not tried... not in the USA!!!

update #1

Don't forget to edit your build.prop (be very careful and always make a back before you do anything)

BUILD.PROP LINES TO BE EDITIED BELOW:

ro.product.model=Nexus One

ro.product.brand=google

ro.product.name=passion

ro.product.device=passion

ro.product.board=machimachi

ro.product.manufacture=HTC
 
OK didnt know anything about a file manager. Is astro free? I'm assuming the a500 didn't come with one?

Hi,
connect to wifi network
launch market <search> Astro
download & install ASTRO File Manager

After that...
go to <apps>
<launch> Astro File Manager
search for the apk file in <sdcard>
<click> apk file
<click><Open App Manager>
<click><install>
<exit> by hitting the back button

then... look for the installed app icon in <Apps><My Apps> main menu

cheers :)
