The Amazon app only allows downloading songs over WiFi. This will also allow downloading songs over EVDO/3G.

Update: Fix for Pre 1.1.0 Amazon over EvDo

To "comment out" a line, add // at the beginning. Example:

printf("This is code");
//printf("This is commented out");

edit download-manager.js

comment out lines 440-442

440:  //if (userInitiated &&....
441:          //this.showWifiRequired....
442:  //}

then force lines 465 & 466 to be true and comment out line 467

465:  if (1 == 1) {
466:     if ( 1 == 1) 
467: 		 //|| PalmSystem.version.index....

reboot (or orange-sym-r)

446:  if (1 == 1) {
447:      if (1 == 1)
Comment out line 448 (test for "desktop")

See how to modify the app while keeping the original in Launcher

It took about 30 seconds to download a 3 minute song over EVDO with speedtest showing about 1Mbps or so, but hard to say as speed was bursting up to 2Mbps and down to 1Mbps for each test.
