Notes on installing applications and software
You can install two types of applications and software to your game deck:
J2ME applications based on Java technology with the extension .JAD or .JAR are
installed in Applications. Do not download PersonalJava™ applications to your game
deck as they cannot be installed. See ‘ Applications (Java™)’, p. 85.
Example: If you
have received the
installation file as an e-
mail attachment, go to
your mailbox, open the e-
mail, open the
Attachments view, scroll
to the installation file, and
press to start
installation.
Other applications and software specifically intended for the N-Gage game deck or
suitable for the Symbian operating system are installed in Manager. The installation
files have the extension .SIS. See ‘ Manager - Installing and removing software’, p. 86.
Installation files may be transferred to your game deck from a compatible computer,
downloaded during browsing, or sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail
attachment, or via Bluetooth. If you are using PC Suite for Nokia N-Gage QD to transfer a
file, place the file in the Installation and Java files (C:\NOKIAINSTALLS\) folder in your
game deck or on a memory card. If you are using Microsoft Windows Explorer to transfer
a file, place the file on a memory card (local disk).
Important: Only install applications from sources that offer adequate protection
against harmful software.
During installation, the game deck shows information about the progress of the
installation. If you are installing an application without a digital signature or certification,
the game deck displays a warning. Continue installation only if you are sure of the origins
and content of the application.
