For those of you who want to install paid Android apps for FREE, there’s actually a rather simple way, as Ray has pointed out here using his Droid:

Basically what you do is do a Google search for any .apk files. For example, if you wanted an app called Picaso (just making it up), do a Google search for Picaso.apk.

Download the apk file, copy it to your phone’s SD card, then use apkInstaller to install it, and voila! (Or you can also download the .apk file straight from your phone’s browser too.)

This should work the same on any kind of Android-based phone including Nexus One, Droid, and etc…etc…
