Installing applications

Your Palm® Treo™ 750v smartphone comes with several built-in and ready-to-use applications. You can also install any of the additional software included on the Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc as well as other third-party applications that are compatible with Windows Mobile devices, such as business software, games, and more.

5.0

Applications you download to your computer are likely to be in a compressed format such as ZIP. If the file is compressed, you need to use a decompression utility on your computer, such as WinZip, before you install applications on your smartphone.

These instructions tell you how to install basic files onto your smartphone. Some software uses an installer or wizard to guide you through the process. For details, consult the documentation that came with the software.

TIP

If an application does not have a Microsoft Mobile to Market certificate, you see a message indicating that the application is untrusted. If this occurs, you can indicate whether you want to continue the installation.

Installing bonus software from the CD

The Windows Mobile Getting Started Disc includes several bonus software applications that you can install on your smartphone. You can install these applications when you install the desktop software, or you can install them later.
