You need a full URL for the MIDlet-Jar-URL parameter on Nokia phones.

You also need the web server configured to provide the right Content-Type
for the JAD (and also the JAR for some phones/networks).

This is from /etc/mime.types on a linux/apache server:
text/vnd.sun.j2me.app-descriptor        jad
application/java-archive                jar

Lastly, check the MANIFEST.MF in your JAR.  If your midlet classname is
very long, it might be continued on 2 lines.  This is per spec, but
doesn't work on phones I've seen.  Move the midlet class to a "shorter
package."

If the JAD is wrong, you'll get an error after a few seconds when you
surf to the JAD.  If the JAR type is wrong, you'll get the error a few
seconds after you say "OK, download the midlet described."  If the
MANIFEST.MF is wrong, the error comes after you download the whole JAR.

Plus what Claudio said.

Good luck,
jim
