9.5 Using MIDlet Manager
MIDlets are Java applications that can run on mobile devices. Your
device supports Java 2 Micro Edition, J2ME. The MIDlet Manager
allows you to download Java applications, such as games and tools
that are specifically designed for mobile devices. Although some Java
applications and games have already been installed on your device,
the Java MIDlet Manager gives you the flexibility of installing and
managing additional J2ME applications from the Internet.
To install MIDlets from the Internet
1. Locate the MIDlet/MIDlet suite while connected to the Internet.
2. Select the MIDlet/MIDlet suite to download.
3. Confirm to start downloading.
4. Run the file(s) to install.
To install MIDlets from a PC
You can install the MIDlets/MIDlet suites on your device from a PC
using the USB sync cable, infrared, or Bluetooth. MIDlets copied to
your device are automatically saved in the My Documents folder.
However, you can copy the MIDlet file(s) from a PC to any of the
following temporary folders on your device from where MIDlet Manager
can install them.
Device memory: ../My Device/My Documents/My MIDlets
Storage card: ../My Device/Storage Card
Note If the My MIDlets folder does not exist in My Documents, you can create
one with the same folder name. However, a folder named Storage Card
automatically appears after you insert a storage card into your device.
To install a MIDlet/MIDlet suite
1. Tap Start > Programs > MIDlet Manager > Menu > Install >
Local.
2. From the list, tap the MIDlet/MIDlet suite that you want to install.
3. Confirm to complete the installation.
Note To remove a MIDlet file from the temporary folder, tap and hold the file
then tap Delete from the shortcut menu.
