Copy .jar and .jad files of program into Phone Memory folder called 'Installation and Java files' using PC Suite.

Then....On the 6600..... open Manager, and find the program you want, then in options select Install.

When it's installed you will see the icon appear in the 6600 menu.

Simple 😃 😃

Just send the .jar file to your phone and click on it.

There is no application that can manage .rar files yet.

.rar? It's just a compression I think... like .zip. Just unrar it using WinRAR (which is a freeware) and you can find the .sis file after the process... then, install the .sis to you phone.
