Install applications and software
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 using other connectivity
methods, such as Bluetooth connectivity. You can
use Nokia Application Installer in Nokia Nseries PC
Suite to install an application to your device. If you
use Microsoft Windows Explorer to transfer a file,
save the file to a compatible memory card (local

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) 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 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.
