Installation files may be transferred to your device from a
compatible computer, downloaded during browsing, or
sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, or using Bluetooth connectivity or infrared.
You can use Nokia Application Installer in Nokia PC Suite
to install an application to your device. If you use
Microsoft Windows Explorer to transfer a file, save the file
to a memory card (local disk).

indicates a .sis application,
a Java application,
that the application is not fully installed, and
that the application is installed on a compatible memory
card.
Important: Only install and use applications and
other software from trusted sources, such as applications
that are Symbian Signed or have passed the Java
Verified
TM
testing.

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 back-up 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 back-up 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. When you are downloading
the .jar file, you may need to enter a user name and
password to access the server. You obtain these from
the supplier or manufacturer of the application.

Important: Your device can only support one
antivirus application. Having more than one application
with antivirus functionality could affect performance and
operation or cause the device to stop functioning.
After you install applications to a compatible memory
card, installation files (.sis) 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 PC Suite to back up installation files to
a compatible PC, then use the file manager to remove the
installation files from the device memory. See ‘File
manager’, p. 21. If the .sis file is a message attachment,
delete the message from the Messaging inbox.

Scroll to a software package, and select
Options
>

to confirm.
If you remove software, you can only reinstall it if you
have the original software package or a full backup of the
removed software package. If you remove a software
package, you may no longer be able to open documents
created with that software.
If another software package depends on the software
package that you removed, the other software package
may stop working. Refer to the documentation of the
installed software package for details.
