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 Ovi Suite or Nokia Nseries PC Suite to install
an application to your device.
Icons in Application manager indicate the
following:
.sis or .sisx application
Java application
application not fully installed
application installed in the mass memory
application installed in the memory card
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

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.

During installation, the device shows
information about the progress of the
installation. If you install an application without
a digital signature or certification, the device
displays a warning. Continue installation only if
you are sure of the origin and contents of the
application.
To start an installed application, locate it in the
menu, and select it. If the application does not have
a default folder defined, it is installed in the
Applications folder in the main menu.

Important: Your device can only support one
antivirus application. Having more than one
application with antivirus functionality could affect
performance and operation or cause the device to
stop functioning.
After you install applications to a compatible
memory card, installation files (.sis, .sisx) remain in
the device memory. The files may use large amounts
of memory and prevent you from storing other files.
To maintain sufficient memory, use Nokia Ovi Suite
or Nokia Nseries PC Suite to back up installation files
to a compatible PC, then use the file manager to
remove the installation files from the device
memory. If the .sis file is a message attachment,
delete the message from the Messaging inbox.
