your phone. You can always erase old downloads you no longer want and
replace them with new ones, but once a download is erased, you will

- Why
does my phone ask me if I want to install an untrusted application
after I've purchased a Cool Tool? Am I going to ruin my phone?
AT&T
carefully screens all content sold within MEdia Mall to ensure that it will
work properly on your specific phone model and will not cause problems with
the phone's normal functioning. If encountered, the warning can be ignored for
content purchased from MEdia Mall. However, not all sites that sell content
for mobile phones are as diligent in testing the safety and performance of
mobile tools and other content so we would advise extreme caution in
installing untrusted applications when obtained from a third–party
provider.
