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 or .sisx.
• 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.
During the 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.
Tip: When browsing web pages, you can download an installation file
and install it immediately. Note, however, that the connection runs in
the background during the installation.
Install applications
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.
To download and install software from the web, select Download

software package, use this list to find out which software package may be
the cause of the problem. The information in this list may also help you
pinpoint problems that are caused by software packages that are
incompatible with each other.
To remove software, select
Options > Remove . If you remove software,
you can only reinstall it by using the original software package file, or by
restoring a full backup that contains the removed software package. If you
remove a software package, you may no longer be able to open files created
