sis files are to be run on ur Pc, with the phone on the syncstation it will work fine . It will run the fiile and will install on ur phone
Btw have u tried it , rather than puting the sis file in the phone mom. and trying to run it on ur phone.

You have to download to PC and then use sync cable or a bluetooth device (this u will have to buy and install on your pc.) I find the bluetooth transfer of sis files the easiest way to go. You can buy a blue tooth usb device for about $20 to $40.

I didnt use my pc because im away from home just now.
I thought the whole idea of p800 and sis files was that you can download to pc AND handset, then install from there...
When i dl'ed orange scribble, thats what it a0says in the instructions....
Am i righgt in thinking this?

So have you any idea why the phone is not letting me install them? Its just telling me that there's no viewer for that file....

This means the MIME type on the server hosting the file is not set up correct for sis files. It will work with the internal browser, just not with Opera. mail the site hosting the file and tell them to update the server with MIME type
application/vnd.symbian.install sis
