Unlike the trustly old N900 where it was easy to install apps and games. Seems that everything on the N8 has to be unsigned.

Looks easy enough (although there is a 15hr wait) what I do not like is the thought of giving my IMEI number out. Anyone done this? Recommended or not?

There is the alternative of hacking my phone - seems a tad complicated. Or is it simple to do and better than unsigning apps?
