Do you have a file manager installed like Astro?

I have and it doesn't change things. I had a silly idea to rename file we want to download to jpg, which partially works, I get download button, but looks like system is trying to display the jpg first (which of course is not going to happen ;) ), so it doesn't work, maybe it is just a matter of finding right file type. Tried txt and pdf as well. No luck, but whoever is desperate to get files tis way, may do some more testing :)

I am sure when I had my HTC Desire I e-mailed an apk to myself and installed it fine but it was a few months ago so maybe I just bluetoothed it... When I get my replacement Galaxy S today I too will have a play about and see :)
