Application manager
With Application manager, you can see the software
packages installed in your device. You can view details of
installed applications, remove applications, and define
installation settings.
You can install two types of applications and software to your
device:
● JME applications based on Java™ technology with the .jad
or .jar file extensions
● Other applications and software suitable for the Symbian
operating system with the .sis or .sisx file extensions
Only install software that is compatible with your device.
Install applications and software
You can transfer installation files to your device from a
compatible computer, download them during browsing, or
receive them in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, or using other connectivity methods, such as
Bluetooth connectivity. You can use Nokia Application
Installer in Nokia PC Suite to install an application to your
device.
Icons in Application manager indicate the following:

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 testing.
Before installation, note the following:
● To view the application type, version number, and the
supplier or manufacturer of the application, select
Options > View details.
To display the security certificate details of the application,
select Details: > Certificates: > View details.
● 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
backup 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 backup 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.
