well, i do it all the time and didn't see any side effects yet.

app manager is a pita and, anyway, it does not work when connected via usb -- like other gui apps using network access, it works only via gprs/umts or wifi, because some genius at nokia decided to cripple yet another full working and useful feature of linux ...

thus, for an efficient and fast way, i use the shell with apt, which surprisingly works around that stupid limitation.
