Installing helloworldbasic.sis to Your S60 Phone

Once you have created and signed the needed .sis file of the personalised Hello World Basic application, you only need to install it to your S60 phone.

Note: The details of how to upload and install a .sis file may vary from one phone model to another. Consequently, the steps below provide only a general outline of this procedure. Please refer to the instructions provided with your phone for more detailed instructions.

Installing an application to your S60 phone consists simply of moving the .sis file that you have created to your phone. This can be done through various different channels (WAP, e-mail attachment, infrared, Bluetooth, USB), depending on your PC and phone.

As the sending of a .sis file from your PC to a phone may vary on your PC and its capabilities, so, too, the receiving and installing of the application on your phone may vary depending on your phone.

Please refer to the instructions provided with your PC and your phone for information on the transfer channels available (WAP/e-mail attachment/infrared /Bluetooth/USB) and to the device-specific instructions on how to install applications and software on your phone.
