According to this article, if you edit the build.prop file to make your phone appear as a supported device, you can use it.

Now, for the really devoted users out there, it is possible to trick the app into installing on your unsupported device. To do that, you must root your phone and edit the build.prop file to make the phone identify as a supported model.
