8 Nokia Application Installer
Nokia Application Installer allows you to upload and install Java applications from your PC or laptop computer to your phone. When you install compatible J2ME applications to your phone, you add functionality to your phone, including, for example:
•New games
•Stock portfolio manager
•World clock
•Currency converter
You can use Nokia Application Installer to install applications you download to your PC from the Internet, including those downloaded from your service provider’s Web site. Or you can also install applications that you program yourself with the appropriate Java software developer toolkit.
Important: Only download and install software from sources you trust. Please take the necessary precautions to protect against viruses and other harmful software. Nokia Application Installer uses digital signatures and certificates during software installation. Do not install an application if Nokia Application Installer displays a security warning about the software you are trying to install.
• LEARN ABOUT JAVA APPLICATIONS
Java applications consist of two files and can be identified by the (.jad) and (.jar) file extensions. When you download Java applications to your PC for use with your phone, make sure you save both files to the same location. If Nokia Application Installer cannot find the (.jar) file, a dialog box opens and prompts you for the location of the file.
