You can install two types of applications and software to your phone:
J2ME
TM
 applications based on Java
TM
 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) 
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. 96 and 
“File manager,” p. 110. If the .sis file is a message attachment, delete the 
message from the Messaging inbox.
