Installing .sis file on 6500 slide (S40 5th)

[absarc]

I have this program that allows you to use you phone as a webcam. I recently got the Nokie 6500 slide and wanted to install this, but it won't let me. Does anyone know how to install .sis files on this phone? And what files and installable on this phone?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

The Nokia 6500 slide, like you said, is a Series 40 5th Edition, Feature Pack 1 phone. SIS files can only be installed on phones that run Symbian OS (in Nokia's case, S60 phones). You can install Java apps (JAR files) on Series 40, though.

Oh right, i thought that they were all the same. Is it not possible to install S60 onto an S40 phone?

No. They are different platforms. This goes way beyond simply installing software, if you know what I mean.
