Installing applications - general information
You can install applications that are specifically intended for this phone and
suitable for the Symbian operating system.
Note: If you install an application that is not intended specifically for this
phone, it may function and look different from what was originally intended.
Applications may be downloaded to your phone during browsing, received as
attachments in multimedia messages or e-mails, or recevied via Bluetooth or via
infrared from another device, for example a phone or a compatible PC. If you are
using PC Suite to transfer the application, place it in the Installs folder in the File
manager.
Important: Only install applications from sources that offer adequate protection against
viruses and other harmful software.
To increase protection, the application installation system uses digital signatures
and certificates for applications. Do not install the application if Application
manager gives a security warning during installation.
Important: If you install an application that contains an update or repair to an
existing application, you can only restore the original application if you have the
original application or a full back-up copy of the removed application. To restore
the original application, first remove the updated or repaired application and then
install again from the original application or the back-up copy.
During installation, the phone checks the integrity of the application to be
installed. The phone shows information about the checks being carried out and
you are given options whether to continue or cancel the installation. Once the
phone has checked the integrity of the application, it is installed on your phone.
