Section 11: Microsoft Windows Mobile
Microsoft Windows Mobile offers a number of features and
functions for using and managing the software on your i225
handset.
Application Management
Your i225 is powered by Windows Mobile
TM
6.5 Software for i225
Phone Edition, which allows installation and removal of any i225-
compatible application on your device. i225 applications can be
downloaded from the web, or purchased at retail outlets.
Install New Applications (Apps)
You can install any program created for Windows Mobile 6.5, as
long as the phone has enough memory. The most popular place
to find Apps for your phone is on the Windows phone
Marketplace web site (
http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/
Default.aspx
).
You can also obtain games and themes from your Wireless
Provider. Just press
Start
and select
Buy Games & Themes
().
The first application you should install is Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
or later. You will need this application to install others. You can
download the latest version of Microsoft ActiveSync from the
Microsoft site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/
help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx
.
When a new application is downloaded from the web or installed
using a CD, the files are transferred to the mobile device via
ActiveSync. ActiveSync checks if enough memory is available
before installing a program. To free up memory, simply remove
old programs or delete unused files. For more information, refer
to “Delete an Application” on page 90.
