(keitai-l) Re: Installing symbian native apps on Vodafone 702NK

Hi Richard,

My colleague attended a Nokia seminar late last year where they
announced this new "feature" and it caused quite a stir among the
developers attending. The Nokia people presenting it were more or less
embarrassed as they confirmed that "yes, in the short future you as a
developer has to get a pricey certificate in order to even test you
application."

I have a Nokia 6630 from Vodafone (Sweden) myself and first thought I
would not be able to install uncertified applications as I got those
error messages and knew about the new "feature". However, it was a
setting that I believe Vodafone has requested to be default that didn't
let me install applications and I had to go to what is called
"Hanterare" under Tools in the Swedish version (where you go to
uninstall applications) and in the settings permit installation of
applications.

I hope this solves your problem.

Cheers,
Johan
