This is a relatively common question, the easiest thing to do, is plug your phone into your computer, copy the .apk to your sd card, then use a file browsing application ( I suggest Astro, free) click on it, then it'll ask you to open with its App Manager, do this, then click install, be sure to make sure that your "install non Market Applications" option is checked, or it wont allow you to install this. home>menu>settings>applications, first option

I have also found that you can email it to your phone's gmail account and there will be an option to install it from the gmail app. (You will need to enable the menu/settings/applications/Unknown sources)

Yep, I found that out accadentally, I clicked on it to download then install and it just went to town (per say) but thanks for saying it I'm sure there were people that didn't know that!
