Re: How do you install programs?
Some installers (SETUP.EXE/executable style) need to be launched from a desktop/laptop running Windows and will queue the program to install via ActiveSync the next time you connect your phone if it's disconnected at the time. Other installers require the phone to be connected via ActiveSync to install.

Most programs, though, can be copied to the phone or sd card as a .CAB file (via the Disk Drive method) and started via an Explorer program as detailed above.
