how to install Adobe Reader, Skype and Google Maps in Xperia Neo?

Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:59:30 GMT

I have purchased my second Sony Ericsson in China. Now with Android, the first one with Symbian. Why? Because I need a phone that can read and write Chinese and other languages.

In my Vivaz (Symbian), Google Maps, Adobe Reader, Skype all were perinstalled.

Now in the Xperia Neo there is only a lot of junk games on the phone and the Android market obviously blocked by some obscure policy (see blog regarding this another place).

Any work around to get the most important business tools like Adobe Reader, Skype and Google Maps (where names are bi-lingual) for navigation installed? Does it help to get the access on an other location on this earth with a SIM card from a more liberal orientated phone company?

OR you can go to the market and find those aplications and many others more

EDIT: I forgot to tell you an amazing feature of android :smileygrin:.... you can look the aplications from your computer browser in the market, "install them" (you have to log in), and then when you connect to the internet with your mobile it will start downloading and installing the aplications automatically.
