All of last week I have been experimenting with GPRS/EDGE and Java applications on my phone. This post elaborates how to set up each of these applications and my observations about their performance and functionality.
The K550i has an inbuilt application that allows 'one touch' photo blogging, and there are many other free Java Applications available for download. Notable among these are Gmail and GoogleMaps.
To install any application, you need the Java Executable file (having extension *.JAR). At times
an associated Java index file (with the JAD extension) is also needed. The JAR and JAD files can be downloaded like any normal file using a PC. Then these need to be transferred to the phone using a data cable or Bluetooth or IR.
Alternatively, one may download the application by pointing the web browser of the phone to the web link and download over GPRS. It is notable that the preferred way to get the application is to use a PC to download the installer(s) and copy them to the phone memory or memory stick using a data cable. If a JAR file is transferred using bluetooth or IR
First of all, the offline applications (which do not require an internet connection):

It is notable that keping the installers is a good practice, so that the applications can be reinstalled in case the phone is erased during servicing or repair. The only way to do this is to use a PC to download the installer(s) and copy them to the memory stick using a data cable or a card reader. Then start up the phone, and install the application using the File Manager. If a JAR file is transferred to the phone using bluetooth or IR, the phone begins installation as soon as transfer completes, and deletes the installer.

An amazing utility for uncompressing files on your phone.Unfortunately it is Russian but is still usable. When the apploication launches, it asks for a target file (Zip, RAR, 7Zip) which it then uncompresses in the same directory as the compressed archive.
Possible issues are the lack of an option to change interface language and no option to change location where files are extracted.
