Applications you download to your
computer are likely to be in a compressed
format such as ZIP. If the file is
compressed, you need to use a
decompression utility on your computer,
such as WinZip, to decompress the file
before you install the application on your
smartphone.
These instructions tell you how to install
basic files onto your smartphone. Some
software uses an installer or wizard to
guide you through the process. For details,
consult the documentation that came with
the software.
Installing third-party applications
When installing third-party applications,
note the following:
• Install only apps that are designed for
Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Standard.
• Apps designed for Microsoft Windows
Mobile 6 Professional or any edition of
Windows Mobile 5.x software are not
compatible with your smartphone.
• If you can try a free or trial version of
the software before purchasing it, you
can test it first to make sure it works
properly.
NOTE If you encounter a problem with a
third-party application (such as an error
message), contact the application’s vendor.
For general troubleshooting of third-party
applications, see Third-party application
s.
Installing applications from the Internet
You can use Internet Explorer Mobile to
install Windows Mobile apps in the CAB
file format directly from the Internet. For
files in any other format except CAB, you
must first download the files to your
computer and then install them to your
smartphone by synchronising.
TIP If an application does not have a Microsoft
Mobile to Market certificate, you see a
message indicating that the application is
untrusted. If this occurs, you can indicate
whether you want to continue the installation.
DID YOU KNOW ? You can purchase a third-party
application that lets you run Palm OS
®
applications on your smartphone.
