can i download directly to my phone

Hi everyone,

I am the proud yet struggling new owner of a 750. For some crazy reason, my phone won't sync with my computer with any kind of regularity. I'm wondering if I can download stuff directly to my phone. Actually, that part is no problem, but I can't figure out how to install it from My Documents. Can anyone help a newbie?

Thanks!

If you're downloading programs they need to be .CAB files rather than .EXE's, use File Explorer to go to the My Docs folder and run them

So how does one get a download in a .CAB format?

I did manage to get my computer to talk to the 750 today, but it got stuck in part of the sync. Heck, I'm thinking of just getting a new computer.

When you visit the site from which you are downloading the software from they usually give you the option of a Windows installed ie. .EXE or a .CAB. It's sometimes listed as an option for Mac users
