    Dear Sir,

    I have just downloaded a .cab file from the internet on to my laptop and have transferred it to my Nokia E71 via a memory card. From there I transferred it onto my phone. When I try and open the file I get the following message ”Unable to open. Filetype not supported” How can I fix this problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Neo

      .CAB files are for Windows mobile device only so they will not open on a Nokia E71. You need to download the correct file that is compatible with Symbian.
