If you have bluetooth then transfer the files to phone using it. when you receive it it will prompt you for install. The bluetooth is the best way according to me.


Have you tried app loader?? I donno if it works on jar files. But definitely works on sis files. Try it. See if it works.

I don't think so.

Install it. If it support it then it will run. If it is made for smaller screen resolution then it will run in a small screen and the remaining screen will be blank. And if it is not compatible then it won't run at all show you error. In that case close such apps and uninstall or delete them. Simple.

Well File exploreris a software that allows you to browse files on mob on PC. Much like PC Suite but more powerful. Search www.softpedia.com for it. And N73 runs on Symbian OS 9.1. So try finding games and apps based on that. It will work best on your mob, since it is made specially for your mob.


And Pathik. There are not much OS 9.1 stuff available at the moment. But its picking up. Lets see the scenario after six month or one year.

Ya. But outside Nokia stable you have to rely on JAVA apps only. And since I have never used Nokia in life and will never I try to find my apps in JAVA.
