Hi, I just got a 3650 and i ve heard that by transferring new application ( .sis format) from the computer to the memory card i can install them on the phone. But how??? I don t have a cable, is that mandatory since I have a card reader in my PC?
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me. 😎

Well it took me hours of search but I got it!!
Thanks to an indian from Bangalore.
There is the way to install from the mcc :

To be able to use the MMC to install program YOU MUST HAVE FExplorer. But to get it installed you need to have it installed... a headache I know.

You can install fexplorer this way:

1. Get the SIS file onto your computer
2. Rename it to fexplorer.JPG
3. Transfer it to your MMC using the card reader, to the Images folder
4. Open "Messaging>New Message", and select "E-mail message"
5. It will ask for a Mailbox to be defined. Here enter any junk values that you want and save the settings (neat trick )
6. After saving the settings, you can create an E-mail message. Here, choose the "Options>Attachments" and "Insert>Image". This will allow you to choose the image that you want to insert as an attachment. Browse to your MMC's Images folder and select fexplorer.JPG file that you copied earlier.
7. After the attachment is added, select it and choose "Options>Open".
8. The operating system recognizes that it's actually a SIS file and installs FExplorer!!

Using FExplorer, you can install all your favorite apps after transfering them to your MMC.

Hope this helps! Have fun
