Problem is, the good apps on those sites are only links, they actually redirect you to the market for a lot of them which is useless for "Vault 1.01" owners ;)

Although I now have a working Market, I managed to install most of my apps by going to the website links and doing a manual install. Even some paid apps let you install this way as they usualy send an email with a link to the key installer

C
Scroll:- Android 2.1 firmware 1.02 with keyboard.
Done:- Rooted, ReProfiled, DePhoned, Chinese support, Youtube, Market, Printing
To Do:- WIFI Tethering (via phone), 3G Dongle (via usb)

I use app planet more than anything else :) that and rapid download :). I was going to ask as any one got it to work with a 3G dongle at all. Also does any one know if there is any Gprs in the unit , Just I read that some one has been playing around with the idea of installing one.

Thanks
