Symbian Tip: Install .sis File

If you have a Symbian S60 3rd Edition phone (ie. Nokia N95, N75 or N82) and ran across an application file extension .sis, don't fret. You can easily install this file by downloading it with your phone and install right from the file itself (no need for PC connection via Nokia Installer). I learn something new everyday.

Nokia N75 for $0.01 at Amazon.com

The Nokia N75 is one of those great little phones that is under its big brother (N95)'s shadows all the time. This phone is US (AT&T) 3G ready featuring 2 megapixel camera and is running the Symbian S60 3rd edition just as the N95. This means that the same web browser with mini map, application-support as its older sibling are available.

The flip design makes this phone practical and slim. With 40MB internal memory (a bit anemic) however support for microSD allowing great multimedia flexibility.

Amazon.com has it for $0.01 with a new contract. Pretty good deal if you've been eyeing a Symbian-based smartphone.
