How do I install Dr. Cube?
Installing Dr. Cube can be done in different ways, but it all depends on your mobile phone.
Usually you just have to copy the game (the .jar file) to your phone (i.e. via Bluetooth or infrared).
Details on how to transfer files to your phone are usually available in your phone's user manual.
Don't worry if your phone doesn't have Bluetooth and infrared, or if you don't own a data cable. There's still hope ;)
Another way to install Dr. Cube is to download it directly to your mobile phone via UMTS or GPRS.
Just open your phone's WAP browser and surf on over to
"http://dr-cube.sourceforge.net/wap_download.html"
and you can install Dr. Cube by WAP without having to mess with Bluetooth or any cables.
IMPORTANT: Using the WAP download may cost money, depending
on your network provider and your mobile tariff/service plan.
