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.
To open App. manager, select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App. mgr..

application type, version number, and the supplier or manufacturer of
