You can install two types of applications and software to
your phone:
J2ME
TM
applications based on Java

technology
with the extension .jad or .jar. PersonalJava
TM
applications cannot be installed on your phone.
Other applications and software suitable for the
Symbian operating system. The installation files
have the .sis extension. Only install software
specifically designed for your phone.
Installation files may be transferred to your phone from a
compatible computer, downloaded during browsing, or
sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, or using Bluetooth. You can use Nokia
Application Installer in Nokia PC Suite to install an
application to your phone or a memory card.
After you install applications to a compatible memory
card, installation files (.sis) may 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. See “PC Suite,”
p. 81 and “File manager,” p. 92. If the .sis file is a message
attachment, delete the message from the Messaging
inbox.
