Install applications and software

a Java application,
that the application is not fully installed, and
that the
application is installed on the 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.
Before installation, note the following:

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 Nseries 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. 18. If the .sis file is a message
attachment, delete the message from the Messaging
inbox.
