Symbian friends if you could help me i'd be most gratefull. I recently bought a nokia 6630 and i have lots of programs and games in my pc, but i've been unable to install them into the phone. The files are labelled has .sis but when i send them to the phone it gives me a message of error for motives of security. In other hand, .jar files have no problem to be installed. Thanks.

FAQ! Turn off the security options in Settings. From my own http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/n6600.htm:

"By default, some 6630 and other modern Series 60 smartphones come 'locked down' in terms of the applications they'll accept, installing only those that have large companies behind them, able to afford the expensive 'signing' process. But there are hundreds of other great applications, many of them free, that are 'unsigned'. Don't worry about this (see my malware article to put your mind at rest). Just go to 'Tools | Manager | Options | Settings' and turn 'Software installation' "On". (While you're in this dialog, make sure 'Online certif. check' is 'Off'. You can now install any compatible program without being blocked by spurious security warnings! "
