Installing applications from the Internet
You can use the web browser on your
smartphone to install Palm OS files (PRC or
PDB) directly from the Internet. When you
download a PRC or PDB file, it is
automatically installed on your
smartphone. If a file is compressed (for
example, as a ZIP or SIT file), you need to
download it to your computer, expand the
file, and then synchronize to transfer the
expanded file to your smartphone.
NOTE Make sure the application you
download is compatible with your device.
1Open the web browser (see Viewing a
web page).
2Go to the page that contains the link to
the application you want to download.
3Press Left or Right to highlight the
link to the file, and then press
Center to initiate the download
process.
4Follow the onscreen instructions to
accept and install the application.

centroverizon-support.
2Follow the onscreen instructions to
download the application(s) you want to
install.
3When prompted to select either Save or
Run, select Run to place the
application(s) in the install queue.
4Synchronize your smartphone with your
computer to install the application(s) on
your smartphone.
Installing other third-party applications
from a computer
When you download an application to your
computer, it is probably in a compressed
format such as a ZIP or SIT file. If the file is
compressed, you need to use a
decompression utility on your computer,
such as WinZip or Allume Stuffit Expander,
before you install the application on your
smartphone.
