WAP browsing, or sent to you in a multimedia message, as an e-mail attachment, via
Bluetooth, or via infrared.
Important: Only install software from sources that offer adequate protection
against viruses and other harmful software.

phone shows information about the checks being carried out and you are given options
whether to continue with or cancel the installation. Once the phone has checked the
integrity of the software package, the application is installed on your phone.
