No sideloading = no buy!
Patience is a virtue... try it...

If I am stuck with marketplace apps, I'll just stick with iPhone.
I've been side-loading apps to my non-rooted Backflip since I got it. You just put your phone into debug mode, and then it allows you to load them via the SDK. Geez people... freaking out over something that isn't a big deal...
Not to even mention... why is an iPhone customer complaining about something that there isn't even a work around for you to be able to side-load apps outside of a jail-break? Atleast I don't have to root my Android phone and void the warranty...
In some ways I agree, and AT&T shouldn't have tossed this restriction on the phone. But most people who sideload, already have the phone connected to a computer, so more a minor inconvenience. Then again, I've had had an Android phone since Nov. or Dec. of 2008 and only like sideloaded 4 or 5 times, and for the most part, they were checking out a beta irc application for someone.
