Just rename the .zip to .jar then install as usual

[leespud]

how do you change file extentions then?

[GSM Super Star]

Do it on your computer before adding it to phone (right click on file and goto rename)

Hope this helps

Best thing is to rename the file extension on all zip files to *.jar before you send it to your phone. Once in your phone's inbox just select it and it will install... No need for zipman on your phone either....lol

if you can not see the .zip bit on the end you will need to do this

open my computer
click up the top, tools
click folder options
click view
un check the box which says 'hide file extensions for known types of files'
done
to change them to a .jar simply click on the file. can you see the .zip bit on the end of the file? simply right click on the name, and wright over .zip with .jar and yoru done

HOLD UP A SEC!!

Changing the file extension from zip to jar will only work if the program is in fact a JAVA program. Most JAVA programs are games. If in doubt, try to open the zip archive and examine the contents.
- If there are a whole heap of small files in there with weird extensions chances are it's a jar file, so rename to .jar and send to phone.
- If there are .sis files in the archive, it is a native symbian program, so do the following:

CameraFX and mp3go are definitely NOT java. What you need to do is extract the zip archive on your computer, and either

1) send the .sis files to your phone and open them from the inbox (should auto-install).

or

2) double click the .sis file on your computer - if pc-suite is set up correctly (and your phone connected with IR or BT) the file will send and install on your phone without you having to touch the phone.
