Installing applications

®
Your Palm Treo™ 700w smartphone comes with several built-in and
ready-to-use applications. You can also install any of the additional
software included on the Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc as well
as other third-party applications that are compatible with Windows
Mobile 5.0 devices, such as business software, games, and more. To
learn more, go to www.palm.com/mytreo700wVerizon.
Applications you download to your computer are likely to be in a
compressed format such as ZIP . If the file is compressed, you need to
use a decompression utility on your computer, such as Winzip, before
you install applications on your smartphone.
These instructions tell you how to install basic files onto your
smartphone. Some software uses an installer or wizard to guide you
through the process. Consult the documentation that came with the
software for details.
