I will research more onto it and will let you know in case i find anything. Thanks for your help. Kevin Kelly,

I don't have much experience here. From what I read, that error can mean (1) a policy prohibits it (not your case since you're not on a BES), or (2) the app (midlet?) isn't digitally signed correctly to pass some test. There is some evidence that if your app exceeds some size limit, you will get that error. There is evidence that some wireless carriers, Sprint for one, that has some severe restrictions on what you can install, so your app might be prohibited by carrier. I wish I knew more about this. If you ever figure it out, please let me know. Kelly Kevin,

When you install from your computer using Desktop Manager's Application Loader, you select a .alx file which in turn points to one or more .cod files. However, for an OTA download, you need a .jad file alone. I don't know the inner workings of a .jad file but I'm sure the .cod is somehow embedded in it. There is also a .jar file format that supposedly you can install from a media card. I have had some succeed but most fail due to "invalid .jar format." I gave up trying to do that. Having said all that, I'm not an expert on Java development for the BB (although I'd like to if I had more time), so don't take my word on this as gospel truth. Kelly Kevin,

Please let me know how i can install the app in my blackberry.. thanks I have created a .cod file.It works fine in the simulator.I deployed the .cod and .jad file to a server.When i try to download the .cod file from the blackberry browser,it gives me a 910 authorization failed.I am not a BES user.So there is no security policy preventing me from installing 3rd party apps.

Theoretically you should be able to install .jar files from the media card, but on most cases I've tried, it claims that the .jar file is invalid (even though I know it isn't). I've never been able to resolve that. Kelly Amey,

Is there any way to do this?

Please try that and let me know if it works or not. Kelly Paul,

I have installed it in my blackberry. It is showing up only in my applications area but not in my themes. Do you know what I can do? Thanks so much! Paul Kelly,

Thanks for sharing with readers your review. I agree that apps like this are great safety features since we shouldn't be fiddling with our phones while we drive. Kelly Bobbie,
