This is the Internet version of the user's guide. © Print only for private use. Installing applications It is possible to install new applications in your P910i. These applications can be obtained in several ways, for example: • from the Internet. • from a CD. • from a Memory Stick. • as an email attachment. • from other devices. There are two types of installation files for applications: • SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P910i or other Sony Ericsson devices. • MIDP JAR (Mobile Information Device Profile Java Archive). Note SIS and JAR files are installation packages containing one or more files. Programs made for the Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 series can also be used in the P910i. This chapter also applies to other types of software to install, for example, system components and add-ons. Applications from developers outside Sony Ericsson, so-called third-party developers, might be possible to install in the P910i. Applications which are not approved by Sony Ericsson are not guaranteed to work correctly or securely, and users install them at their own risk. Product failures caused by applications not approved or made for Sony Ericsson will not be covered by your warranty.

Installing applications

It is possible to install new applications in your P910i. These

applications can be obtained in several ways, for example:

from the Internet.

from a CD.

from a Memory Stick.

as an email attachment.

from other devices.

There are two types of installation files for applications:

SIS (Symbian Standard Installation) made for P910i or other

Sony Ericsson devices.

MIDP JAR (Mobile Information Device Profile Java

Archive).

Note

SIS and JAR files are installation packages containing one

or more files.

Programs made for the Sony Ericsson P800 and P900 series can

also be used in the P910i.

This chapter also applies to other types of software to install, for

example, system components and add-ons.

Applications from developers outside Sony Ericsson, so-called

third-party developers, might be possible to install in the P910i.

Applications which are not approved by Sony Ericsson are not

guaranteed to work correctly or securely, and users install them

at their own risk. Product failures caused by applications not

approved or made for Sony Ericsson will not be covered by your

warranty.

the SIS file does not contain harmful content. If you are certain

of the origin of the SIS file you can take an installation decision

based on what you know about that vendor. Your P910i supports

cryptographic verification of vendor identity.

During installation the P910i verifies a digital signature and
