Have you tried rebooting your phone? Sometimes just get stuck.

From you HOME page, click Settings, Applications. Make sure Unknown sources is selected then try downloading and installing your apps again. This might resolve you problem.

@rob not a bad idea at all. There "shouldn't" be a requirement to do this when installing from the market, but this shouldn't be happening either, so good thought.

OH! I would love to see someone with an android phone from AT&T try this method. Especially since AT&T "requested" all android phones that they carry have this option disabled.

I would love to see Anne as a continuing contributor to the verizon forums :smileywink:

Fortunately we are all on Android, where even if a particular carrier requests that things be removed there is generally a good developer around to help out.

Yeah, it's called Android Central's Sideloading Wonder Machine and requires a computer. The only other way to get the function natively back on those phones is to "break" the phone and void its warranty.
