[...] That's what has caused the problem. Unfortunately your only options are to factory reset your phone or change your gmail account back to googlemail. More info here: FIX: Constant “Preparing Download” Message When Installing Market Application [...]

On the G1 (so I assume other Android phones too, but could be wrong) you can remove the Google account details on your phone without doing a wipe or rooting. You do this by clearing the data in the Google applications:

Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications… Then from here do the following three in order:
Google Mail -> Clear data
Google Mail Storage -> Clear data
Google Apps -> Clear data

Then run the GMail app and it will ask you for your login details again.

There is also a way to run the setup wizard again using ADB, but I forget commands.
