Adding And Removing Programs - Samsung SGH-I718 Series User Manual

Adding and removing
programs
Programs added to your phone at the
factory are stored in ROM (Read Only
Memory). You cannot remove this software,
and you'll never accidentally lose ROM
contents. ROM programs can be updated
using special installation programs with a
*.cab.pkg, *.cab.pku, or *.cab.pks
extension. All other programs and data files
added to your phone after factory
installation are stored in RAM (Random
Access Memory).
You can install any program created for your
phone, as long as your phone has enough
memory. The most popular place to find
software for your phone is on the Microsoft
website (http://www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile).
Adding programs using
ActiveSync
You can install a program downloaded from
the Internet or included on the supplied
software CD-ROM by performing a
synchronisation between your phone and
the computer.
First you need to determine what your
phone and processor type are so that you
know which version of the software to
install.
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings →
System tab → About.
2. In the Version tab, make a note of the
information in the Processor field.
3. Download the program to your computer
from the Internet or insert the CD-ROM
that contains the program into your
computer.
