PC Suite: How to Install Software on Your Phone

The easiest way to install software on your phone is by text message. But this is not always available. Another option is via your mobile phone browser, but it’s sometimes a bit fiddly.

If you’ve already got Nokia PC Suite installed, then this is probably the easiest way. (See How to Connect Your Phone to a Computer)

Once you’ve downloaded the application to your computer, and remembered where you’d saved it to, open PC Suite and connect your phone.

In the program, click on the install applications button:

The application will load.

In the left hand panel of the program, click through until you find the directory your program is in:

The file will end in .sis and have a little green and blue icon next to it:

Make sure the right hand column – My Phone — shows the phone and the phone memory as the destination:

Now click on the file on the left column you want to move:

Then click on the arrow in the middle, between the two columns:

A window should appear telling you to finish the installation on the phone:

Follow the instructions on the phone (they’ll be different with each application.)

  • Facebook’s daunting Asian challenge February 3, 2012
    Here's a piece I pulled together with the help of Reuters reporters Andjarsari Paramaditha, Camilo Mejia and Estelle Griepink in JAKARTA, Harichandan Arakali in BANGALORE, Lee Chyen Yee in HONG KONG, Kazunori Takada in SHANGHAI and Harry Suhartono in SINGAPORE.

  • The Tablet is the Computer January 24, 2012
    One thing discussed often and at great length in nerdy circles these days is this: Is the tablet—by which we really mean the Apple iPad, because it created the market, and presently accounts for nearly two thirds of it—a computer. A PC, if you will? Some say that the iPad is not really a computer. [...]

  • The Google Dilemma January 14, 2012
    Once we lived in simpler times. Google was a search engine that made its money off ads that were based on what we searched for. Look for cocoa and you'd get an ad for hot chocolate alongside the search results. Google made lots of money from this and we got our hot chocolate. This worked [...]

  • The Browser Doesn’t Matter So Long As It Goes to Google December 25, 2011
    The whole Google/Firefox issue is an interesting one: Google is the default search engine in Firefox because it pays to be there. The three-year deal expired in November 2011. Would they renew? Some thought no. They were wrong. Not only has Google renewed the deal whereby it effectively bankrolls Firefox, but it's the first time [...]
  • Dragon Tattoo: Mac or Vaio? December 23, 2011
    Some folk have suggested that because Sony is behind the new version of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo all the product placements are Vaio: This would be a slap in the face of the original novel and the Swedish version, which stuck pretty closely to the text. But I'm not sure. Here's another picture [...]
  • Inside the Web of Things December 21, 2011
    This is a slightly longer version of a piece I've recorded for the BBC World Service I've long dreamed of an Internet of things, where all the stuff in my life speaks to each other instead of me having to the talking. The vision is relatively simple: each gadget is assigned an Internet address and [...]
