Hey guys can anyone help me i am trying to download a .jar file to my blackberry

You have to download it via the web browser. A .jar file is meant for OTA (Over-The-Air) installations using the browser.

If you can't OTA with your BB, download the jar and jad files to your PC and then copy them to your media card. Once there, through the BB media manager you can install them from there.

According to his profile, he has an 8700. Otherwise I would have suggested that. I don't think it's possible for him.
