Install applications and software

Important: Only install and use applications and other software from sources that offer adequate security and
protection against harmful software.
You can install two types of applications and software on your device:
• Applications and software specifically intended for your device or compatible with the Symbian operating system. These
software installation files have the extension .sis.
• J2ME™ applications compatible with the Symbian operating system. The Java application installation file extensions are .jad
or .jar.
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 with Bluetooth. If you use Nokia PC Suite to transfer a file to your device,
save the file in the C:\nokia\installs folder in your device.
During installation, the device checks the integrity of the package to be installed. The device shows information about the checks
being carried out, and you are given options to continue or cancel the installation.
If you install applications that require a network connection, note that the power consumption of your device may increase
when you use these applications.
