an e-mail attachment, or using other
connectivity methods, such as Bluetooth
connectivity.
You can use Nokia Application Installer in
Nokia Ovi Suite to install an application to
your device.

If you install a file that contains an
update or repair to an existing
application, you can only restore the
original application if you have the
original installation file or a full
backup copy of the removed software
package. To restore the original
application, remove the application,
and install the application again from
the original installation file or the
backup copy.
The JAR file is required for installing
Java applications. If it is missing, the
device may ask you to download it. If
there is no access point defined for
the application, you are asked to
select one.

information about the progress of the

displays a warning. Continue
installation only if you are sure of the
origin and contents of the application.

have a default folder defined, it is installed
in the Installed apps. folder in the main

compatible memory card, installation files
(.sis, .sisx) remain in the device memory.

The files may use large amounts of
memory and prevent you from storing
other files. To maintain sufficient
memory, use Nokia Ovi Suite to back up
installation files to a compatible PC, then
use the file manager to remove the
installation files from the device memory.
If the .sis file is a message attachment,
delete the message from the Messaging
inbox.
